I was when he slid in front of the Exige and it just slipped through on the inside instead. Looked like a BMW?

It's a Porsche 911



EDIT: COULD be a 996 turbo based on the steering wheel design and acceleration...

The sound does better suit a GT3... But definitely a 996...

Porsche emblem on the steering wheel. An HPDE at night looks like fun. Too bad there's not any around here, that I know of.

i dont think 996, the dash seems a bit dated for a 996.

He was racing. Nothing wrong imo. But the Exige passed him again at the same turn, when the porsche was going side way.

Looked like a 996 911 to me.

He was way over his head in just about every corner. An accident waiting to happen.

I do not see how it could be racing..... at least I have never seen a race where they allow short sleeved shirts & also shorts

Definantly a accident waiting to happen. I remember seeing a drivers school a while ago where a guy in evo or something similar decides to show off his drifting abilities. He miss calculated on one of the turns.... nailed a tire barrier & I beleive he flipped it

Well, there's no way it's a 993. That's actually what 996 dashes look like. Same ambient lighting and cheap plastic. And the wheel is a dead giveaway.

I entered 'Lotus Exige Porsche' into YouTube, then just checked each page until I found it.
