Default Real men drive 911s

Oversteer at warp speed at Spa in a 2l 911.

Makes the 964 seem friendly!

That's just a day at the track with torsion bars.

The 964 IS friendly.

Excess oversteer just wears out tires but it looks entertaining on video.

LOL,..Thats simply how the SWB racecars drive if one is competitive,...

They really are a ton of fun but not for the faint-hearted.

Same meet. Less a little less luck, I think the most he damaged was contained in the trousers.

18 with a '68 and a 2.0S in it.............never backed the car into anything. But it sure made it easy come up the 911 food chain over the decades, and appreciate better than 205/60's all around. (My friend had a stock '67 with 165's all around, now that one got sideways going down a straight road.)

Just does not seem right to have that much sliding in a race car. Sure, it looks fun but I would be happy just to reach the finish line.

I wonder how the tires didn't explode... but BIG skills!
I don't think the guy in the E-Type enjoyed the overtake so much....

I like his aggressive use of the rumble strips as passing lanes.

My mate reckons that rear drive cars are really called "man drive".
So a civic is girl drive (front wheel drive), and a m3 is man drive (rear).
A 911 is the hardest man drive, (allmost impossible to control rear wheel drive).

And my mate has a degree!
