Thanks for all the technical info and efforts put in this. Visually I think the car dives and squats way too much(replays). RUFs in general are not exactly boats or S-Classes.
But anyway thank you.

Hey,
Squat is almost millimeter correct. Some examples of the car also squat *more*, probably due to aged bumpstops. Dive is also more or less correct. Not good to make assumptions when you haven't compared it yourself; but I thought they were off myself too initially. Hell, in earlier versions, they were.
However rear anti-lift isn't correct, like on every AC car without extended physics suspensions fix. It'll lift up half an inch, maybe an inch. Front lift is also weird on every 911, it seems correct from a standstill comparing between many cars but in some cases doesn't seem correct. We don't know why; front anti-lift won't really affect an RWD car like that. Perhaps the torsion bar becomes very stiff on droop? It's not impossible I suppose.
Here's a few vids:
Although this is the production CTR which is at a slightly different height IIRC. Yellowbird was a tad higher it seems, so it'll hit the stops later, giving the illusion of way more squat and dive. Even in the IRL vids. I used all the BM vids and some vids of present-day Yellowbird and historic vids like the Nordschleife lap as reference. Lifts on both axles seem off, but dives don't basically. Unsure if can be fixed, or why the front lift happens.
The 993 lift is more or less correct, by the way. We photomatched that one.
The better question would be, why *doesn't* the CTR lift the front as much IRL? Not why the AC car lifts.
I can't explain it myself. One theory I thought of just now would be that it runs out of droop in the front!
EDIT: But it doesn't seem so.
And a nifty comparison because I took one to check.
Mind you the rear trailing arm will retain a tad too much negative camber on droop: just a limitation of doing it with DWB. Better than having too much in compression.
EDIT 2: I tested just now and it doesn't seem as bad as I remembered from a standstill. Only thing I've changed since then is...rollbars. However I do remember it lifting up the inside-front too much in a drift compared to one more recent video: which can be because the whole car was way lower due to aged stops in that video. However on higher speed straights compared to some videos of the Nords lap, the front seems lower in 3rd gear or so than in AC; and he does appear to be full throttle.
