Today I get to drive a car I've long lusted after - a 911 Turbo. My only experience of a Turbo so far was in a very heavily modified 993. The 996 has always been my favourite generation of 911, and now I get to see what the Turbo was like.

2004 C4S owner. IMS updated. 130K miles, white w/ black interior, manual, 997 short shifter and wheels, GT3 console delete and PSE. Loving every second of it... After all that and knowing I’m still under $27K is the cherry on top! #996 FTW! 🏁 As for Jayemm. Hands down has the best car content/ videos on RU-vid.

@RicknWRX 4 года назад

Nice! I just got a 2005 c4s this summer. I am coming from a 450hp turbo car and I dont miss the power. Once i get the exhaust and tune on the c4s it should be more than enough punch. After a point more power on the street does not really enhance the enjoyment for me. Nothing like the sound and feel of an NA!

@tserzz 3 года назад

996 Turbo the best of the old and new. A great road jet Messerschmitt with the rock solid famous 'Mezger' engine. The awesome Le mans design an art form urban icon !

996 Turbo is most wanted 911 as youngtimer... LOVE THE CAR

@clubracer6 5 лет назад

Had a 996 40th anniversary, then got a turbo, sold it after a year to get back into another 40th. I missed the playfulness of the C2 and the sound. Plus I was constantly at risk of being a felon in the turbo. Will always love the 996tt, but will admire from a distance. 😃

@cruizin4customs 5 лет назад

I've got a 996 c4s/x51 (same powerkit as the 40AE) and the rev-ability and sharp response I actually prefer to the Turbo

@normsallitt2753 5 лет назад

Hey Jay, based on your review I'm going to assume that the turbo you drove wasn't up to par. I've owned mine for 7 years and I'm saying this based on owner experience. 1. There should be zero lag after 3000 RPM in a stock car. 2. The fact that you're even comparing this turbo to a C4S tells me there's something wrong, because I've driven/owned both and they're not even in the same league. 3. Those tailpipes may be an indicator that this turbo wasn't taken care of to the highest standards. 4. Next time, drive a well cared for example with an ecu tune + exhaust + coilovers and I can just about guarantee you'll be selling your Lotus 👍. PS... those standard Supple leather seats are adjustable up and down.

@hushanjaria868 5 лет назад

which metricsq engine he just talked about?

@MJ-sg8ov 4 года назад

I think the zero lag starts a little north of 3000, but not much. Maybe 3500 or so, but in the clip he seems to stop what appears to be a third gear pull just above 120kph (noting the spoiler deployment), which just is barely getting started. A 2nd gear pull will have the uninitiated into the rev limiter before they can blink, and is absolutely brutal compared to a C4S. The thing easy to not understand is that the 996 turbo will keep pulling and pulling like a freight train all the way through 6th gear - something no C4S is ever going to be able to do. I would also agree that if his legs are pressed against the steering wheel he's almost certainly got room to bring the seats down a bit, unless he likes a somewhat unconventional driving position being somewhat close in with long legs.

@KrustyKlown 4 года назад

with the 996TT .. and some affordable upgrades .. the boost can be tuned to come up much earlier ... mine pulls damn hard from 2,500rpm up to 5,500rpm. Hybrid billet turbos (1.35 Bar boost), Wagner intercoolers, Cobb ECU stage 2 tune, Kline exhaust with high flow CATS, 5 bar fuel regulator, KW Variant 3 Coilovers, Nitto NT01 245F/305R tires... more ... No debate now, it is a SUPERCAR... yet affordable. Such upgrades can't be done on a C4S.

Another good review. Yep, owned one of these too 9 years ago - an X50 with 525bhp DMS map. It was pretty lively! Someone told me before I bought it to budget £3k to refresh the suspension if it’s not been done. They were right so budget that in. They are a daily driver though for me, not a weekend toy. Too easy to drive.

@Alps6408 4 года назад

A simple remap on the 996 Turbo changes this car into a MONSTER!

@MrCaterhamr500 2 месяца назад

More power certainly but still weighs a lot and has the terrible long gearing Porsche gave these 996’s so doesn’t feel quite as exciting even with a remap as something like a 360 Modena that screams to 8500rpm, the 996 turbo has a Rev limit much lower even than the C4S, which sound better as you can enjoy higher revs.

Paul8342 Is it normal to feel less g-force when doing some hard acceleration..? I’ve test driven one that’s on sale & was a bit disappointed with the performance because a turbocharged engine should be able to opt out some g-force sensation.. Not a huge power difference compared to the naturally aspirated 996 Carrera.. Probably 20% to 30% more power on the 996 Turbo.. Is that even a normal thing to be honest..?

@treedeblue Год назад

At such increase in power doesn’t such demand and added stress on the engine shorten the life of the car?

@MrCaterhamr500 2 месяца назад

But they don’t Rev as high and sound like a hoover, also still heavy with long gearing. Was a complete let down when I tried a few 996 turbos. They don’t Rev high enough or sound nice, and the taller gearing makes it less fun at slower speeds as 1st gear effectively feels like 2nd.

@mrheisenberg72 5 лет назад

I drove one of these on a track day, they are so fast... Preferred it to the f430 i drove on the same day

@pye007 5 лет назад

I have owned my 996T for 6 yrs and it is a constant delight. Saying that I have spent some serious money modifying it. Larger turbos, ECU remap with DMS (the best!), Turbo S suspension, sports exhaust and bodykit. And short shift gear change (essential and a huge improvement over standard). It's producing around 580 BHP and over 600 lb /ft of torque. The lag is not noticeable above 3000 and I dont think there is much that can keep up with it on a country road. Oh, and the steering feel is wonderful, far nicer than any Porsche after the 997. Jay, if you want to review it I think you'd be surprised.

Great review thanks. Just One thing : if you already had a 996 C2 (or 4S) it s totally different concerning some points : - Metzger motor (GT1 signature / Le Mans) - turbo look - prices continue to seriously increase on this model I sold my 2002 Targa for this one : it was a good choice

@salsanchez2114 Год назад

Mezger = 911 996 turbo. Metzer = autocross champ.

@911driver7 5 лет назад

If you want a 996 c4s and you include the engine failure cost then it's better value to buy the turbo

@batking28 4 года назад

911 Driver or rather buy a £600 bearing and fixed. You can get a great condition C4S loaded with options for 25k while you need 35k to start to seriously look at semi decent spec turbos but need realistically 40k for and equivalent spec. Plus the turbo simply doesn’t sound as nice as a C4S with PSE and this is taste but the red strip on the back and the lack of massive vent holes in the side I think make it the prettier car too. If you are tracking the car and money doesn’t matter go for a turbo. But for the same money you can get a C4S hard top a Boxster S for top down fun and have 10k spare in your pocket, but that’s just my choice.

@mohamedelyaouti2051 4 года назад

I owned it for 80,000 miles of the 167,000 and had no issues, maintained it myself so I could trust the work being done, I had to replace one starter motor, and some engine mounts, and one set of discs and pads, extremely reliable car given the age and internet scaremongering that goes on!

Nikasil carbide bore, true dry sump, proper oil feed in IMS bearing, proper cooling, and a close deck engine block, it’s one of the most reliable water cooled Porsche. The only issue is that it’s not as engaging as a GT series and a Cayman platform. Compared to 996 and 997 GT3s, still a grand touring car. But who cares, nice to have it as a daily driver.

@brentpowell7889 5 лет назад

Owned a C4S 996 , currently own a 996 Turbo, the performance is a different league to the C4S, the turbo are still pretty good value for money, considering price of air cooled 911’s, such as the 993, which I have also owned and in my opinion isn’t as good , why people buy the 993 just because it’s air cooled is madness , 993 tiptronic for the price of manual 996 Turbo is madness. It’s all about the drive for me and the 996 Turbo is an excellent allrounder. Just be careful when buying these cars, they were a lot cheaper a few years ago, this allowed more people to be able to buy them , however they are complex cars and most couldn’t afford to run them, they can be costly to run, so buy wisely.

@fredriksvard2603 5 лет назад

brent powell Turbos retain value better, that to me is the real selling point. Same with most gt3s.

@Rendezvous512 4 года назад

I’ve test driven both 996 Turbo & the naturally aspirated 996 Carrera.. And to my surprise, I don’t really feel that much difference in terms of power.. Probably has 20% to 30% more power on the 996 Turbo.. Is that even a normal thing to be honest..?

@brentpowell7889 4 года назад

Rendezvous Rezz well 20% to 30% is quite a jump in horse power, my 996 had K24 turbos and upgraded inter coolers, think it was running an extra 60-80 hp 😳 so around 500 bhp in total, both are great cars to drive to be honest 👍

@Rendezvous512 4 года назад

brent powell But is it normal to feel less g-force when doing some hard acceleration..? I’ve test driven one that’s on sale & was a bit disappointed with the performance because a turbocharged engine should be able to opt out some g-force sensation.. Not a huge power difference compared to the naturally aspirated 996 Carrera.. By right, a standard factory 996 Turbo with 420bhp should produce a sufficient amount of torque & g-force especially when accelerating hard.. I could barely feel a g-force & not even a single fraction of it.. Probably the turbos had some complications..🤷🏻‍♂️

@brentpowell7889 4 года назад

Rendezvous Rezz yes that doesn’t sound right at all , you can get the 996 turbo at reasonable prices however, because they are reasonable priced , people have bought them but can’t afford to maintain them correctly , so be careful, I would make sure you get a good warranty. One problem are the 2 turbo actuators that control boost from each turbo , they can often be seized and therefore not set up probably , effecting performance. Basically a well looked after properly set up 996 Turbo will felel significantly quicker than a 996 C4S , having owned both. Hope this helps 👍

I'm about to watch the modded video after this, but what stuck out to me on this video is that you basically don't smile once. That says all your need to know. I'd argue that for the Turbo the AWD and the rest is an asset if you aren't particularly gifted, but on an n/a 996 I'd rather have RWD than the extra weight and complication of a front driveline. And I say all of this as an owner of a 2004 X50 car. But you're right about this. It's a C4S with the better motor. I said it out loud right before you did in the video. Though I'd argue it's also better looking.

I don't understand the high-driving-position comment, I sit quite low in my '99 C2. Did you adjust the seat height? How tall are you?

@JayEmmOnCars 5 лет назад

It's the steering wheel which is the issue, too big and no rake adjustment

Great video. I have the C4s in the 997 and i could not agree more with your comments.

Even EVO finally admitted (after making it ECOTY) that the car is a little dull, in that it just eats miles at any speed almost unflappably. However, you can tune them up a LOT.

Not sure I agree with your conclusion, but good video anyway

No offence Jay, but do you fit the seats properly?!

@JayEmmOnCars 5 лет назад

Yeah they're fine, the sports seats are a tight fit but they are weirdly narrow - the buckets I have room to spare. I actually fit in a narrow body caterham

What’s the problem with the gearshift? And how can it be made better?

@EvoraGT430 5 лет назад

It should be perfect; mine was.

@JayEmmOnCars 5 лет назад

Heavy (unnaturally so), bit vague. You can replace bushes, cables, many different solutions

Would you possibly be interested in reviewing a 996 gt3 rs given your fondness for the 996 and on the back of this review?

I paid 27 for a 2002 about 7 years ago with 25000 miles . Took it to my friend Rob at DMS for a remap to 520 BHP . Following that bigger turbos etc and hey presto 600 BHP .... Drove it aall over Europe many times trouble free. A very underated car in my opinion.

Great channel. I was wondering if you could do a Edit on 996 turbo manual versus 996 Turbo Tiptronic . Thinking buying a 996 turbo to do a safari lift not to far. In Aussie 100kmhr , 60, 40 , 30 zones hence automatic
