These Engines are very solid, this is not a racecar engine. These engines where tested and driven like this for years, there is nothing to worry about. As an example, a friend of mine owns a golf from the same aera, it's a diesel with 550k miles on it (the engine was never opened) and after starting it he always puts the foot down and kisses the rpm up to the limiter, he is abusing the car since he bought it with 30k miles. Anyways, this was probably not the greatest example and i may have gone a bit off topic, but it still kinda proves my point, these cars are ment to last and be driven by everyone, so no immediate engine explosion when the motor is cold.
@@aicauto I just got an '85 944 with the early dash. I also have a '77 924. I love the old dash style. What was once considered 'dated' is now retro cool.
My inherited 1983 is a 5-spd. It’s an adventure every time I drive it, and I get a lot of people giving me “Thumbs Up” when I drive. No, it’s not going to win any speed records, but it sure wins the Smile race.
It's not a fast car. If second gear went to 60 however it would be considerably quicker in 0-60 times as you need to shift at 55 and these older gearboxes can't speed shift. It is a fantastic handling car however
I still have my 97 Porsche Boxster with 117k miles and still enjoy it to the fullest, especially since it still turns heads and I get lots of great comments when I tell people it's a 1997 model. Anyway, thank you for the video. 🙂
holy cow my friend not a fan of clones but i still love 993's. pardon me for asking but my goodness the other cars in your garage are awesome. you obviously have great taste in porsches's and you make the average porsche owner jealous. just had to commend you on some really neat cars. i love transaxle cars and the s2 cab is drool worthy. porsche garage tours make great videos. wink, wink cheers
