I thought it about time I did a proper video on the best 911 I have ever driven. Frank Cassidy's 911 RSR replica sounds intoxicating and is stunning to drive
I love how it spluttered into life, it's so organic and consistent with naturally aspirated flat that is true to Porsche's heritage, mainly of the recent past. Wow
Poor clutch lol, I wondered why he looked so pissed off in the car, last three seconds of the video explains all, good video and a Singer by any other name is never a bad thing, I bet with cross ply tyres it's a handful in the wet, more....
I've had the good fortune to be a passenger in this car and it really is raw and awesome, apart from being frozen in winter (no heating). And you have to watch your knees on the roll hoop under the dash. The main memory, though, is the sound. Frank always has loud cars but this one... Great video, Jack.
Definitely best 911 most coustmizatiable Porsche aswell so many kits and not bad engine the Japanese tuner scene started with this type of 911 clocking 190mph on the streets of Tokyo in 1987 Pablo Escobar had an rsr like this aswell
Nice video - it’s so good seeing and hearing the likes of Frank actually using these cars properly - any chance of a video of this car on track - if you ask him nicely you never know - but I doubt he will after seeing you pulling off with the handbrake on!! Keep up the good work.....
The first one minute seventeen seconds is simply sublime. The industrial brutalism, cut by the contrapuntal aerial shot, is a work of true beauty. I am in envy of your photographic abilities.🤩🤩 How do you enter, and alight from, the car in manner befitting a gentleman❓🤨🤨🤨 That's an excellent tonsorial makeover you've had there, XXVII. You look quite boyish.🤓🤓🤓 All in all, a very enjoyable video, and you tries so hard to keep your hands on the wheel.😂😂😂
MrKeyboardCommando cheers!! And I remember a pre-edit comment about power.. it is a 350hp engine not 250.. but admittedly it was a bit muffled when frank mentioned it!
Yet again, XXVII, you've caught me out. I initially thought Frank said 250hp, but when I finally put my brain into gear, I realized a 3.5 litre tuned Porsche engine had got to be making at least 350hp. By the way, is it as horrendously difficult to get in and out of the car as it would appear to be ?
Doubt it has RSR suspension. I.e short steel arms with brakes in the trailing position? 915 issues are usually the linkage which is tricky to adjust. I have a 3.0 RS with mechanical injection, double ignition, legal 3.0 engine which makes 345hp and its way lighter. Wonder where all the weight is hiding with composite panels.
Followed this car to a meet last year, both of us having to take a diversion so we headed off down some tight village roads and the sound of this and my V10 were epic. Actually think I have a video of it somewhere, should upload it I guess.
But could you live with it as your daily driver? Maybe with just a few creature comforts on the inside? That's what I loved about the 246 and 308 Dinos...you can drive them everyday of the week and always be in love. I did it with my 308 GTSi...every day, take the dog to the vet, go to jury duty, to work, to the supermarket. I couldn't get my body out of the car. How did this car compare to your 964?
The beard,the chain,the footwear,the craft beer......he doesnt need any of that. Yes,I have a thing about hipsters,but he seems such a nice lad and doesnt seem to need that tragic look!?
Gorgeous car. The shifts made me chuckle (bwaaaaaaah... (pause pause pause) bwaaaaaahhh). Unless there is an issue, much quicker shifts are possible. But I can understand you not wanting to yank on the shift lever with Frank sitting next to you. Just out of curiosity: has Frank ever hung out with Magnus? :-p
Of course I was being careful. Did not want to ram them in and was taking care not to get the wrong gear! Frank does look like a better groomed Magnus! 😆
@@volod3mir Mmmmmmm, yes. I owned and daily drove an '84 Carrera, autocrossed a '79 SC, and still own a '76 911 (quite modified). And I spent the better part of the 80's working for various independent Porsche specialists in the US and Germany. I am actually quite familiar with all Porsche gearboxes from the 901 through the PDK. :-p
@@volod3mir Surprised? (now I am :-) ) I wasn't surprised, I thought it was funny. As I said: I had to chuckle. No, the 915 is not the smoothest, quickest gearbox ever, but you can shift it much, much, much more quickly. He was being very careful.

And do we have to jump for joy to switch with the next electric ones?and other boring formula E... Damn' I'd rather make very little use of a car but only with a beasty aircooled 911!
So the rear pads are worn, and rotors warped cause you kept forgetting to release the hand brake. Over revved the engine, when asked not to for longevity. Rounded off his 2nd gear. Something tells me we won't be seeing Frank again in a hurry.
Norman D I’m not jealous, have been playing with these cars for years. Just ending the question of whether or not it is a replica. It’s a lovely machine!
the sound of the engine is horrible, its exaggerated rear wheels ruin the design, the anti-roll bars are ugly and make the persons sitting inside feel trapped in a cage and uncomfortable
