WOW, HOLY MOLY, NOW THATS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. Is that photo real or edited. If its real I've got to get me some of those brakes.:D I thought that was fun on a motorcycle but this takes the stoppie to a whole new level.....;)

Slopel November 30th 2003 15:34

Its as real as can be from what i can tell... If it is a photoshop job, it is a darn good one!....lol

Awesome photo. I keep telling myself that I don't need bigger brakes but when I see pictures like that I can't help but want the biggest brakes I can stuff inside my wheels.:D Big brakes = big fun.

If it is real isn't it a little odd that there are no skid marks? If not the tires are more awsome than the brakes!

C'mon people!

It has to be from a massive backfire that lifted the rear of the car. Bad gas;)

I've only seen such antics from very lightweight front engine front wheel drive race cars. I would think that the Porsche with a large percentage of weight in the rear would be physically incapable of doing a 'stoppie'. As we do not have the whole picture (is there a crest of a small hill in the background that we're missing) it's tough to pass judgement.

Who knows where the pic was taken?

The pic looks editted. Look carefult at the bottom of the rear wheel. By the spinning of the tires it should be "egged" just a bit, not flat like when it carries the weight of the engine... Though, I would love to have some type of braking like that In my car.....

I wonder if he had the rear air jacks deployed while driving ... nope could not be .. no sparks !

The tires are more awesome than the brakes in that pic for sure ! :D

I think someone on the STF recognized the track, and said out of picture there's a sweet little crest people tend to catch air off of.
