Using the technical definition of mid-engine, it is (FM). The center of mass of the engine is between the front and rear axles. But most people just assume that mid-engine only refers to the rear configuration (RM) that you see in most Porsches.

911's are rear engine cars. Not rear mid-engine. The motor is out the back. Boxster and Cayman are mid engine. Z might be technically mid but its got understeer initially like any other nose heavy machine. Mid engine in the classic sense has less.
