I do not get it if the cars are running around in plain sight why do we not have better pictures and pictures of the interior etc . In a world where paparazzi do not miss anything why is it so hard to get good close up shots and video ?

Paris Hilton can't get her butt moving as quickly as a 911 turbo, so those guys just go for the easier target.

Yeah, one would think she could keep up with a 911Turbo-I doubt she is naturally aspirated either.

Weird that only the back-wheel spins when he tries to accelerate away, wouldn't the front-wheels move as well?

Maybe due to the cold temperature, the oil in the torque convertor isn't at the right operating temp. I'm no expert at this, but I remember reading about how the AWD on the 997 has oil in the convertor that aids in the distirbution of power from the rear through the convertor to the front wheels. And it takes a little time for the oil to "warm" up to the most effective temp...:n
Maybe someone else can chime in??? Help...
The Hammerhead sounds good, though.

You are obviously thinking not of the torque convertor but of the viscous coupling between the transmission and the "secondary" drive axle of many 4-WD cars, which only conducts torque to that axle when it "detects" slip of the "primary" drive axle.
It works due to heat generated in the silicon-based fluid in the coupling heating up as a result of the input and output shafts running at different speeds and becoming more viscous, hence "locking" the coupling.

It is a 997 TT, the "author" of the videos contacted me via eMail, he is also a User of Rennteam but he forgot his Password and his registration eMail, so he sent it via eMail. BTW, guys: this is the sound of the "end product".

So the author of these video's just happened to see a 997 Turbo and started filming? I dont really get what they are doing, driving up and down the street, seemed a bit confusing to me. Will the author be getting back onto rennteam?
Also, great video's! Great find!

Yea, that's the ticket! So, could that have anything to do with the rear tire spin we witnessed in the video, or was I totally off?

Yes - it takes time for the mechanism described above to transfer power to the front wheels, so it is conceivable that on a brief throttle opening like the one in the video, only the back wheels would spin. I've seen this happen with 996C4S's on snow/ice in Canada.
