Decades ago, it was found that loading a Pantera on an open trailer backward sometimes resulted in lots of body damage. The jiggling and bouncing (trailers usually have no shocks) tends to release the decklid latch- which aren't the most secure anyway. Then the air blast wraps the deck lid over the top, in one case breaking the windshield as well as warping the top structure where the hinges attach. You got lucky, or drove slow! Sure- the tongue weight is better with mid-engine cars loaded backward but risking body damage isn't worth the tow convenience IMHO.
