The 996 is already a classic. With the right spec it is very desirable

Beautiful car 🚗. My mate had the turbo m, auto if I remember correctly. The thing absolutely HAMMERED 🔨. I will say though, for a Porsche, it didn’t handle well at all, I was pretty surprised. It sort of felt heavy. No matter though, the straight line power kept a permanent smile on your face 😎. NOICE car mate 👍.

@danstimelessclassics5899 11 месяцев назад

Great to hear tim compare a 996 to an E46 personally i think 911 has the legs on the beamer aswell as what he said about corner speed ... The 996 has been the ugly duckling for years now all of a sudden it grown on the entire motoring press and watch this space " WAIT TO SINGER START BUILDING THEM " ... I think all the Porsche guys are there already and just look at gen1 aeros... rocking the world in general so i say its the 911 of the moment..and think everyone will agree within the next year or two 👌😎

@911virgin 11 месяцев назад

Hey Tim here, thanks for the kind words! Yeah I never appreciated how great having an engine in the “wrong” place could be to corner exit speed. The Singer thing is bound to happen one day 🤞

@gaffle-411 4 месяца назад

They are more appealing now because the newest models are pulling away from the visceral feeling Porsches had from their origins. The newest Gens are now too large, lack manuals, more luxury focused, too many 911 versions, too heavy, and the prices are too high.

@LC-rj6ok Год назад

Lets be honest, all 911's become a classic. I love the 996 4S now (hated it back in the day) The curves are so cool, the red strip at the back, all analogue, small and nippy compared the the much bigger 991 & 992. Only let down is the interior. I was going to get one of these, but was lucky enough to get a Cayman R. But I still think about selling and getting a 996 4S with a 3.9lrt engine re-build. Nice.

@RollingSlowMedia Год назад

I was having this conversation with Tim about how the interior hasn't aged well but I also think at some point this will look cool. Back in the days we use to put MK2 Golf Dashboards into Mk1's. Now you would never dream of doing that.

@albylive4473 11 месяцев назад

I have a 2004 996.2 C4. I absolutely LOVE the headlights and always have since it came out. For me the “fried egg” headlights are the ones on the 996.1. Not that I dislike those either. As the years go by many people are realizing that they are a lovely and quirky deviation from the round headlights. I mean a 911 is a 911!!!

Looks great. 996 interior door style with swoop perhaps best of 911. HVAC controls easiest. 996.1 clear headlamps clean, .2 awkward hybrid. Beware $ mods in lieu of fundamentals. Window lifts to HVAC box not cheap. Psychology of modifying = participating… inevitable for many and curious to see.

@RollingSlowMedia 9 месяцев назад

I'd say handling and looks but you will loose comfort.

@911virgin 9 месяцев назад

Yes it’s the handling, the aim was to get as close as I could to gt3 rs handling. Of course that isn’t totally possible as the c2 shell I have here isn’t as stiff as the c4 shell used for the gt3 and gt3 rs. It’s good enough for me as I’m not Lewis Hamilton😂

The 996 is a love or hate thing for their headlights. For me I loved the 997, 993 and 964 cars with the 997 being a favorite of me. The 996 for me only looks good in GT2 spec. The front and rear bumpers give the car form and style that they lack for me aesthetically. Great video and cool owner.... Love seeing fellow black men in Porsches and exotics always a inspiration
