Can a 911 do an Endo?

The abarth above ^^^ is doing a stoppie
At first sight, I thought your post was a spoof on a different lame post, "Can a 911 do a burnout"
I believe what you're describing is called a "stoppie". A stoppie is when so much front brake power and grip exist, to lift the rear wheels off the ground, when slowing from a sufficient amount of speed and forward inertia.
In my mind, an "endo" is a term used by motorcyclists, or cyclists to describe going over the handlebars.
This post is a close second to, "Can my 911 do a burnout"
I expect the next parochial thread should be, "Can my 993 pull a wheelie?"
Like the title says, can 911s do endos? I'm talking actual endos. Rear wheels up in the air, front tires planted, while the car is stopping. I've looked for videos but every "endo" video is like on a race track or a cartoon. I'm thinking it should be possible but I'm not sure how the engine over the resr would effect things.

I was poking fun at the other thread but only about 50% of you played along, lol. I was cracking up reading the replies in that other thread and it's still going!!? Hahahaha.... Hhaaaaaa. Of COURSE a 911 can do a burnout. I'm 40 years old and I've done some killer smokey burnouts with my open diff fwd pos cars when I was street racing on V street and Metro down in DC. If you've never tried to do a burnout in any car, you suck, you're boring and you don't deserve a 911. That doesn't mean im ever going to do a burnout in my 911 but I sure as hell like stepping out sideways on some tight back roads and I will gladly loop a donut or 2 once I put my car back together and conveniently keep the output shaft coupler disconnected to my awd system,
I was totally being a Richard. I hope the OP of that other thread is making fun of all of us. We deserve it, lol.
And calling it a stoppie was way too easy. Do you not remember 80's freestyle bmx!? It's an endo...

LOL... I even used his original post verbiage and typo in my first post! And again in my 1st reply, lol. There are some epic posts in the histories of dozens upon dozens of online forums. His question wasn't the worst but the replies were priceless. Nobody just ignored him and said "sure" and left it alone. It actually sparked debate and typical internetdomness. Ah maybe I just amuse myself. This 993 forum is amazing. I literally read a multiple page thread about whether the torque spec was changed with use of antisieze on lug nuts..... ???!!!!!! OMG they're just cars, guys. I LOVE reading these completely over analyzed threads, lol.

So if that's boring and sucks, I'll happily have had the 35 years since then as being boring and sucky.........

Glad to hear your post was a spoof...but I started to doubt it, based upon the follow on posts, for which you had no control.
I had always thought you had intelligent insight and responses concerning technical content of this forum.
Happy New Year, Rich!
