Default when RPM drops, back of the car vibrates left and right

sorry to bother, but i am about to get the car tomorrow, so need some answers

My first question is:
when I start the car (parked, with hand break), I rev up to 2k-3k rpm, and the when the rpm is going up, the car is stable and engine sound really nice.

But after I release the gas, when the rpm drops, I felt the back of the car vibrating left and right.

I know, porsche has H6, so 3 rows. the left and right cylinder should cancel out the vibration and make the car stable.
so i guess in my case, the cylinder didn't cancel each other (not running at the same time, maybe?)

is this normal?

Second question is:
My friend told me, Carrera 4 is theone most likely to have the RMS problem, it that true?
If i park the car for1 hour, am i able to see the oil drop? (I am going to try it at dealer's place, before i buy it)

It is my first porsche, please forgive me for asking these stupid questions.

once again, thanks

thanks I will look it
Hi guys, i've alwayswant a Porsche. Now i am finially getting one.

it is 2001 Carrera 4.

I just haveone question, while i test drove 99 Carrera 2C, the spare tire is located at the front trunk.

but for 2001 Carrera 4C's, after I opened front trunk, I didn't see any spare tire, and the space seems getting smaller.

may be it is covered up some where? or the seller forget to put it in?

thanks

Should be in the same spot, the chassis didn't change between the C2/4
