Paul Millers' Carrera Gt Ouch!!!

It's not a matter of handbrake, clutch, wheelspin or wood ramps ... it's a problem of loose ramps! Even when winching a car, the ramps have to be solid. Really a noob move. No sympathy from me!

No need use throttle at all in that situation - the car's computer senses angle of attack and feeds in the necessary throttle to ease it up the ramp. Driver clearly didn't understand this. Too damn bad.
I've watched a CGT being driven up a ramp at twice that incline with no throttle input.

sick to my stomach to see that being done to such a nice car. However it beats totalling it and killing yourself in the process and then blaming Porsche for selling such a dangerous car to the uninformed but well heeled customers. These owners just are not too bright when it comes to common sense ideas to get things done (like loading a car onto a trailer). I thought the idea of owning this car is to be able to drive to the track and back without needing to change a thing (street car with racecar capabilities-i.e. a Porsche almost any model).

Damn that sucks big time. Those rear tires just grabbed those pieces of wood and launched em back. I dont know if everyone who gave negative comments would have done it differently being in the same situation as the victim from the vid

that's what the tow hook is for.
