I'm not sure I "get" the photo...are you referring to the tire marks?
I could do that with my 65 hp, 1953 Aero-Willys and, in fact,
frequently did, in first and second gear, but not third gear.

It had posi-traction and you could break lose in first and second?

Thought you were referring to the ability to lay down a strip of rubber
from the tires. About every stick shift I drove could do that, and so
could a few auto transmission cars.

The Porsche can't.

Did you guys see the tv program on 'drift racing' a couple days ago?
Now that seems like a waste of tires. Appears to be popular in Japan.

That's one form of auto racing that I've never understood.- Hide quoted text -

I think it started in the urban areas. It does not take a lot of
equipment, room, or even a sanction. Just a parking lot and a crowd of
spectators. Just like a basketball court. Hell, you can play on a half
court. Now Baseball and Golf don't do quite as well in the city...
