Most mid-engine cars have weight distribution around 42% front. I was a bit surprised the C8 rumored to have 36% front. The 911 with each iteration has moved its engine forward closer to the rear axle to get better weight distribution. I think the reason behind 911 rear engine is to have extra room upfront to add two extra seats. I don't think Porsche put the engine there because they think that's the ideal location for the engine. If you put the engine in the middle, you probably can have only two seats.
