It's all about momentum, he can't crawl anything. It's cool, I like it. There's a white 911 out at Glamis with paddles and a raised suspension. Shreds!

Anyone who has ever driven or watched a VW bug be driven all over the place isn't surprised by this Porsche, as it's the same concept--put the engine right over the rear drive wheels and you cut right through to traction as the weight transfers. And, as others mentioned, momentum is king with 2WD--slow this guy down on the uphill soft stuff, and he's not going anywhere (and he's certainly not going to be crawling rocks--LOL).

Man, you aren't kidding! Anyone who's willing to take a basically stock VW bug and beat it AND themselves to smithereens over the length of a Baja race has some serious cajones (or their brain is scrambled--not sure which--LOL).
