In this era when Porsches are getting more and more popular each year, the aura of the Carrera GT has grown to levels that were hard to imagine, even for Porschephiles.
For one thing, it's not that difficult to explain the CGT to non-car people, since, for instance, the V10 voice of the Porscha will do the job for you.

Of course, this has led to tons and tons of aficionados hitting YouTube in search of hooning videos involving the 612 horsepower Zuffehausen halo car.

Well, one of the juiciest videos portraying the mid-engined Porscha has recently shown up. Of course, we had to share this with you, especially since this Carrera GT adventure involves a bit of drifting - to be accurate, the piece of footage shows the CGT baking some donuts, as well as delivering acceleration samples.

And, not unlike other Porsche Carrera GTs out there, the one we have here features a straight pipe exhaust, which means you should turn up the volume before reaching for that "play" button below.

Now, the adventure sitting before you involves public road hooning and we're asking you not to use this as an example and hit the track when the right pedal urges kick in.

According to the YouTuber who hooned the Porsche Carrera GT, this example is worth around $800,000, so we're talking about the kind of money that would allow one to grab a house in California and a Lamborghini (oh, and by the way, there's a Gallardo in the clip). Then again, there might just be people out there who fell for the 991 Porsche 911 R speculation bubble and paid a similar price for the Neunelfer, but this is another story for another time.

If you wish to skip past the YouTube chit-char and go directly to the Carrera GT slip angle shenanigan, you can find this at the 18:30 point of the video.
