See the Porsche on Worlds Wildest Police Videos?

Anyone see the black early 911 targa on Spike TV? I think it was world wildest police videos. It had the later 911 reflector bar on the back. Apparently the guy stole it from his boss. As he was rounding a corner (not too sharp), I bet anything he lifted off a bit, and it caused him to spin. Should have known better...

I saw that episode, pretty crazy driving, but you can see the power and handling abilities of the Porsche, that is until the guy loses it completely!

He shouldn't have lifted on the entrance ramp. DUH!!!! Obviously not a REAL Porsche owner. At least they got the engine sounds dubbed in pretty close. It sounded like a sport muffler.

(I know the story. He stole the car from his boss.)

I hate that show! The commentator sucks, it has more sound effects than Batman ("Bang", "Ouff", "Crash") and they show every single second of the clips at least 5 times...

I saw that episode about five years ago.
Regardless if he lifted or some how lost control, he still hit the concrete bridge support structure destroying the right front fender and probably the oil cooler too. Then he simply reversed and started going again. Simply amazing that the car could do that. Not that I want to experience that situation.
Yeah the commentation is pretty crappy, but the show was put together back in the 90's.
I wonder if that guy's ex-boss was a bit pist!

I heard the "turbo" comment from the voice-over too. That car didn't look like a turbo to me...
