Porsche 911 // The Porsche 993- 25 years later 

Agreed, the most beautiful 911 ever produced

There are sport cars which never look old. The Porsche 993 is one of them

Timeless beauty

I've a 1996 993 C2. Iris blue metallic. 60,000 miles and runs like a Swiss watch.

Super clean 993. Yes, the most beautiful Porsche. Drive that baby!

I’ve my 993 since The end of 1993, one of the first in production. 6 manual gear, rear traction: The best combination. You’re absolutely right, she’s the best 911 design, the ultimate real 911. I love her.

Still one of the best shapes In my top 5 cars 😘

Bot my 993 Targa new in 1997 and still in the garage. I agree with everything you said. I always thought it was the peak for the 911 old school. Everything they learned they put into this car for an air cooled. Every time I jump and and drive it gets me all happy. So light, quick and agile. Got plenty of power. And the look of the rear end is mind blowing. None better. Perfect curves. Thanks for the review. Made my day.

I owned a 993RS.. the real thing! Maintained by Manthey racing in Germany, she produced 330HP instead of 300 in the stock RS, lightweight flywheel, steel gearbox synchro, Recaro racing seats. Given the lightweight of the car at 1218kgs, it could be felt during acceleration. FABULOUS CARS

Which 25 year old sports car has the same amount of driving qualities like such a 993 Porsche 911 in 2020? The answer: NO OTHER spors car! The 993 will never get old... It sounds amazing and rides absolutely fantastic with its KW chassis. Yes, it's a time capsule!

Loving these blast from the past reviews. They don’t make em like they used to!

993, pure Porsche...

Nick Murray might be second guessing his cabriolet purchase, Way to go Zack ! 🤣 Vroom vroom !

Love my 98 C2S I purchased it new October 97 and sold it to my best friend in 2000 and before he passed away last year he said I want you to have your car back, I am a Blessed man.

This car looks absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks, Zack. I enjoyed your review. I still own a 1996 993 C2 sunroof coupe, Guards Red over Black. Great car. I have been in the Rennsport Region (Ottawa) of PCA since 1984 and this is my 7th Porsche. You are right, the modern cars may be more technically advanced and more powerful, but it it hard to beat the classic sound and feel of the older air-cooled 911's. That is why they have become sought after collector cars.

You are a car enthousiast, it shows, especially in the tunnels !! Keep it up

The interior description was spot on.👍🇨🇦

Beautiful POV. i love my 88 928 S4 but lord the 993 is my next dream

👍🏼I got my 993C4S also brand new&went to Stuttgart to pick it up still have it&running strong definitely a keeper

Really enjoy these videos. You talk about the engine, the suspension, the driving - not the infotainment system! Keep it up!

These 993s are amazing, love this 👍👍

I have the C4 Narrow Body with the same colors as your revierwed car. I've registered over 250K miles on it and still love it as the day I purchased it. It's basically stock, but lowered with Bilstein, upgraded radio, 996 three-spoke steering wheel and Fister 3s. I love this car and will never sell it. Your review is point on.

Wow, just wow. That is a stunning example.

Corcars is a great company. We are lucky to have them in here in BC.

Can't loose buying one of these, appreciation. Timeless & beautiful shape. #bighips

It hit me this year my 97 just turned 25. My 95 is 27. It's weird to think. Thanks for the review, great car to drive and absolutely a purist's car.

Thankyou for sharing your experience as a previous owner.

That radio ia awesome I installed it in my 944.2 4 years ago, it looks absolutely OEM in 944.2/968/964/993.

Thanks for the thorough review. I really enjoyed it.

It's absolutely beautiful

My favourite 911. The design is superb. The newer models are nice but too big. Yes the dash is basic but but still likeable. The driving position is fabulous. I owned a 993 Targa and I always regret selling it. The engine keeps spurring you on. It is just such an exciting car to drive!

what a classic beauty!

Congrats on the video. Nice complementary info, very useful extras not covered yet by others. Thanks.

11:27 11:28 I can understand that feeling, how lucky you are with this wonderful Porsche

993 is definitely the best looking 911...especially the turbo!!! 😍😍😍

Loving my 96 993 cab black/black. Got it 2 months ago, could've bought a nice used 991 for the same price but no regrets at all. If I didn't live in sunny southern calif, would've gone for the coupe though.

Enjoyable video. I wholeheartedly concur with all your comments although I point out that 1998 was the last production year of the 993. Reportedly, not many 1998s were manufactured as the factory was retooling for the 996, I have a 1997 C2 Cabriolet that I purchased in 2000. Fully optioned including factory paint to match Ferrari yellow. First owner paid out the wazoo for all the accessories. Just turned 40,000 miles and in excellent plus condition. Gorgeous car! And one of the few cars that I've owned that has appreciated in value.

Great review Zack!

My fav 911 ever!!!

great review, thanks!

Well done Motormounth, agree the 993 is epic & the best looking 911, for me the 9932S is the ultimate

Wow! A Canadian automotive journalist! Never thought I'd see the day

Bought My 1995 993 in 2014, Great Deal Love it.

Excellent review 👍

Great review, Zack. Well done.

Excellent review by the way 👍👍

"Like a man looking at the beautiful woman". So true!!!!!

Thank you for this review. Always enjoy your videos. I just negotiated a deal on a 96 993 C2 and this video just makes me more excited. It is 100% stock. One of the first things I may do is upgrade the exhaust. Looking forward to ownership.

Awesome! Good find on the tunnel!

You said it, Zack " Soul and Presence that can't be Replicated " all that's missing is beautiful Andrea in the passenger seat. 993 best Porsche ever did .

Perfection never ages 😏

It was great to watch a review from someone who is truly passionate about the 993s. As s Porsche owner, clearly, you know what you are talking about. My ‘87 looks so classic, but it also looks so much more dated... when compared to the 993. That is... until you get in the inside. Other than the updated heating system, it pretty much looks the same. But I prefer the updated exterior look. Thanks for such a great review.

The last one hand made, air cooled, the real 911: 993🥰🥰🥰

Great review. Would add that 993 has a direct Metal connection between the stick shift and transmission. So you can FEEL the heartbeat of the engine. Also 1995s have OBD1 and so u can run with no flywheel which frees up the RPMs and improves throttle-reponse quite a bit. Can’t do that with OBD2 as it throws codes and stalls. Billstein B16 suspension and slightly lower ROW springs works great.

This is my Hero 911. I wish I had a chance to purchase one. I was too young to buy one when they're new, and now that i'm older, they're just hard to find.

Just three months ago i sold my 1985 911 g-modell and got a 1993 993....nothing to regret.

Great vid and cars 😊☕🍩

I have had a C2 in Midnight Blue in the UK for 15 years. Will never sell it! The main points I would add are that the build quality is fantastic, so very little ever goes wrong. Driven mine down to Italy a coupe of times and never had the slightest concern about it. Also, the car changes character dramatically over 4000 revs. It suddenly comes alive and feels amazing on a fast curvy road. You just have to be a bit careful in the wet! Get one, they are awesome!

I bought my 96Targa in 2003 and it's still in the garage. The car comes alive at about 4400rpm, when the Varioram engine comes to life. I call it the Rebel Yell, and when you approach traffic from the rear, they all move over just a bit. It sounds like paper tearing and is hell on flying insects. Beyond that it corners as if on rails and stops on a dime, whaat's not to love?

Love my car! 993 96 cab c4

Glad to see you having some fun and enjoying the ride.

I wouldn't even want a radio if I could listen to a Porsche motor making music behind me.

nice now just have to find one!

I'm trying to figure out where you were driving :) Looks like North Shore somewhere near the cut.... looking for a fun Sunday drive on a smokey day. Love the 993 and the unique, throaty sound... but while I wait, loving my 981s!

That is an early 1995; it has the basket handle. All 1995s had Cup 2 wheels instead of the Turbo Twists. Also at 3:40, if you let the oil drain fully from both the engine and oil tank, it holds 11.5 liters of oil.

Great video! Do you find the clutch is positioned slightly inward towards the center console, like the 85 model? Thx

I always thought that 993 was the pinnacle of the 911 and the whole Porsche brand. Sure they got faster and more advanced but this (and of course the 70-80s models and 964 too) were the last genuine Porsches.

Motor oil reservoir is 11,5 ltr./ 2,53 gal. But for changing 9 liters might be sufficient.

An excellent presentation, as usual; free from gimmicks - like the 993 itself. The 993 reminds me of BMW E46-series in that while there have been better *cars* over the years from the marque, there are have been few better representations. Give me idiosyncrasies all day over soulless capabilities.

Me want. :-)) Gotta check out Cornelius' inventory.

Any Porsche air cool enthusiast should drive once of the 993 turbo, or lucky enough, a 993 turbo S. They are THE best of the best.

11:35 took a good look at it

The Indianapolis pro with amber screen is the one you need. 👍

This is a dream car! Here's to wishing. 😥

7:10 Fister opens them up.

The last Iconic Gem.

So I currently own a 1999 black C2 996 and a 1979 928 both manual of course and have been wanting to sell both of a air cooled 911. I was focused on the SC 911's but have been warming up to the 993 however these are bit more than the late 70's - early 80's SC.

At 5:15, new modern radio with navigation ... what about a backup camera? At 7:01 Fister stage 2 muffler. At 8:20, the KW coil-over "variant 3" kit.

The most sexyest Porsche ever built hands down.

Wow I would love to get that one! Do they ship to Dallas?

Believe it or not I have taken an adults in the back many times .. however the front passenger has to move seat forward to make room..😁

One of my lottery cars. 98 C4S coupe in Zenith Blue.

One of the few cars where you actually save money by getting the cabriolet version, which I still find perplexing. At under 300 HP, by modern standards it’s fairly tame- heck, my GTI has 20% more horsepower- so it’s more about the fun than outright ultimate performance anyway. You hear and feel the sensations much better without a tin hat on your head. Yes I do own a Cabrio, but even if I didn’t, it would be much more tempting to get the value buy, seeing as a merely decent 993 is for sure well above $50k U.S. in 2020.

The 993 was penned by the same hand as the McLaren F1--Gordon Murray. It really shows in the linework, the body cuts. Like the F1 it's a timeless work of rolling sculpture

Last air-cooled first rear independent suspension..hence why it gave yaw at the pendulum like sway that it did

Very nice condition indeed. May i know how much it is?

Does anybody know where this tunnel is in Vancouver? Thanks!

Headlamps were updated too?

09:58 No heel and toe blip throttle double-clutch to downshift? 🤔

Does the cabin heat come from the engine oil?

Looks much better than 992.

I have never liked those "hand basket" rear spoilers.

I thought the 4, GTS and turbo were the only wide body models - did he not say the 2s was wide body ?

Wouaouh

hi, i'm wondering what the car costs in the usa? Im from Sweden. Thanks Marcus

Zack, if these air cooled 911s are so thrilling, stimulating, invigorating and so intoxicating, why did you sell your's ?

Zak this is MINT, MINT, MINT, but mine is the 964

how many is 1000-7?

I bet viewers would really be interested to know more about your automobile ownership history. Perhaps you can launch a separate channel called More Motormouth and focus on non-automotive review videos.
