Who can spot a 996 911 using google street view? Post your links (or screenshots)!
btw My work requires extensive use of google street view so I thought anyone in a similiar position might enjoy

Funny that you bring this up. I spotted the Google car on the way to work this morning. I am pretty sure I got my 996 in camera view as I passed him.

You should have done a burnout, I've seen a screenshot of street view where they captured a 993 doing a burnout I believe in the middle of the street

Contrary to current Interweb wisdom, the 996 is not the only 911 variant that loves to lay down James Bond-class smokescreens.

Note the lack of smoke in the wheel well. Not a burnout...and if you pan around the car, you'll see that she's about 30 feet behind another car at an intersection. Not really the place for a bitchin' burnout.

Poor Targa probably wound up at a shop later that day...

You are right. That 911 pictured couldn't do a burnout like that anyway, mine either.

Just did some cruising around my town on google for kicks and apparently the pictures were taken on a weekday in the middle of the day and no one in the right state of mind drives a 996 on a weekday in the middle of the day. ..... except me of course!
