1990 Porsche 911 964 Review and Drive 

the styling is the best, they should re-design the new 911s with this retro design

Great insights, great ‘70s photo of your dad. I have a 964 and the first thing I did was to replace the aftermarket radio with the Porsche Classic Communications Module… no battery drain issues, and looks great. Also had the usual rear lens issues, so replaced those and it looks amazing. 68,000 miles on mine and it’s running like new. Classic 911 looks and experience without the classic inconvenience.

Good review , the 964 is bullet proof, 340000 miles on mine .

964 and 993 are the best 911's ever made. Looks wise I like 964 front but the rear is pretty underwhelming whereas 993 ass is perfect. But both still amazing lookers and the pinnacle of 911. I wish I had them both. Cheers.

Really appreciate all the detail you put in there. Hey, your dad wears the white horns in his ears too!

Great video. The 964 is a cool platform for sure and I love the enthusiasm. For me, though, after owning one for a year I really thought it was way overvalued for the ownership experience it actually delivers. I sold mine and bought an early 911 hot rod and haven’t looked back.

Another great video! Papa Stanley what a stud! Looking forward to the next one!

The interior is cashmere beige. Same as mine. Great looking car!

1989 also came in Forest Green..fyi ..great video though, amazing!

I'll have to start researching the 964 911 Porches...

Fellow 3.2 owner here. I've got an 89 Anniversary in Silver. I never was a huge fan of the 964s strictly from an exterior design standpoint. It looked bloated to me. I think you're a little older than me but when I think 80's and 80's cars the G-bodies are definitely THE car compared to the 964s. Thanks for the review, your father is a great Porsche custodian.

Just found you and subscribed right away. Enjoy the time with your dad when you can, like in this video. FOUR BOYS!! Thanks for making me smile. Your dad reminds me a bit of my dad. I'm guessing he's an engineer? Now I get to tell ;) I bought my 1st 1990 964 in 1996. It had 18,000 miles and I was able to afford the $37,900 price tag ($66K on the sticker). Like many homeowners say, "I don't know if I could afford it now" Your dad's car reminds me of an Oak Green 964 that I missed out on, in around the same time. I can't wait to see the rest of your videos! Great Job!! I got my love for German cars visiting my Mother's side in Bremen Germany. I have a feeling you have a "Germany Connection" somewhere? ;)

Great review. Thanks.

Very informative. Thanks 🙏🏾

I have the same 1990 Forest Green Metallic that I got from Japan. I like the color so much -- I got a 2022 GT3 Touring in the same PTS Forest Green Metallic.

Yes.

The low part of the crest should point to the tyre valve.

beautiful years

Spoiler is less an 'option' for apearance sake and more an important aid to aerodynamic stability at 'high speed'.

Love it my is exactly that color.

Well the 964 isn’t a 911, it’s a 964. So the G body was the best and last of the 911. 😉

993 is the best of the old school Aircooled and 997 is the best of the new school water cooled. The best built 911 overall is the 1988/89 G bodied 911. Period! Had no problems like the 964 with the head gasket issues oil leaks or in the case of the 993 heat shield issues or door hinge issues some 993s had. So in summary the best 911 bar non is the G bodied last year production car, not a fault to list and built like a Patek Philip Swiss watch. The popularity with the 964 is down to supply and demand caused by back dates by companies like Singer or Theon and a plethoras of tuners breaking 964 and backdating them, and nothing to do with better build or feel over the older Aircooled or last year production 993’s. The interior between 964/993 are pretty much same, front end is purely down to taste, headlights are okay at best, rear end is equally down to taste. Suspension advanced on 993 vs old tech in 964 which demands more which also is down to taste. Overall it’s all very subjective. 997 is too distilled with Gen 2 and too quiet in the DFI car albeit more so terrible tire noise being a major pain but better build interior switches and pcm, visceral experience is better with the Gen 1 997 still with tire noise but indoor switches were lesser quality and prone to fading PCM was also so so. A base c2 was sweet though compared to c2s. Gen 2 was too distilled for me. Just putting this out there so subjective feelings are not conflated as facts. Get the 88/89 and you are good if the best overall is your intentions! 🙏🏿

The most sexy car ever made, this car definitely is a SHE. Even more if you own a cabrio, take her for a topless trip.

No!

Yet another forgetting about he perfect in between classic and modern. The 996. Especially the 996.1
