Found this video of someone driving a Porsche like crazy on the street (in Sweden). Quite amazing that people are foolish enough to do that.

Cool video, thanks!
At the risk of sounding like a total n00bie....what model 911 is that? C2, 4, TT?? And what is up with that exhaust note? Kinda harsh, IMO. Don't tell me my C4S is going to sound like that....

Old video... new music.
It's looks and sounds like a 1979 Turbo 930.

Yep, Loren is right it's 930 all right

Exhaust sound... Ah that sweet raspy Porsche sound (even though you can't hear it well enough) is just best engine sound there is! <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />

Urbanski,

Your 996 ain't gonna sound as that (water cooled cars don't quite have that 911 raspiness that so many of us love, even though, with fabspeed or similar exhaust, they still sound sweet!) but since you didn't like it, you're fine, your C4 won't be as harsh as that, in stock form, it's almost dead quiet).

Did somebody recognize the lighthouse in the video? Why does it turn so fast?

The video was edited to enhance the feel of speed. The lighthouse is spinning too fast owing to that.
