liable yeah , but it's possible

i did a 20 meter high speed drift on the first day i drove mine, by accident yes, but a drift nonetheless

went in a sharp right hander thinking "slow, nasty turn , stay at 100"

but forgot i had an american imported 911, with miles

so i did 100 miles instead of km's
mid turn the backend started screeching , and flash back some thing i read " never brake or ease off the throttle in a 911 or it's buhbye"

so i floored it and steered against the turn...

it was more lucky then skilled, and i haven't been looking to do it again , cause i don't wanna bank on having the same amount of luck next time..

but it does proove that it is very much possible to drift a 911...
you just don't have the same margin of error you have in a say 944 with 50/50 weight balance....

in my 944 it's easy, just mash the loud pedal in the wet, and hte backend steps out , to bring it back in line, just ease off the throttle...

same in the dry, just need more power to break the grip and stay a drift...
