I need to say this: you're getting better and better. You're not one of those blokes who try to be funny or popular in order to get as many likes possible. In my opinion your car revues are what any car revue should be: pros and cons when owning/driving or consider buying one. It's a simple as that. Thanks my man, I'm waiting for the next post. Peace from your neighbour country, The Netherlands/Amsterdam

I have a great joke for you about the way you say the car's name: - A blond is trying to make some pocket money doing odd jobs and goes house to house looking for work. Soon she gets to one door which is opened by a man and she asks him if he has any odd jobs she can do. Impressed by her enterprising nature he says, 'Sure - I need my porch painted round the back - you'll find paint and brushes in the garage, go ahead' An hour later she is back at the fron t door, beaming. 'Did you get the job done?' he asks. 'Absolutely, she says, I painted it from top to bottom, and by the way, it's not a Porsche, it's a Ferrari'

Priceless!! Your reaction to that first blast on the dual-carriageway had me in stitches (literally, as I've just had a hernia op!). "Have I gone white.....I've gone all hot"!! Great stuff!

@themancuniancandidate2744 4 года назад

I agree with your point about that feeling you get just sitting in a Porsche. My 2000 Boxster is obviously 20 years old now, but at that age and with almost 120k miles on the clock, the interior looks like new. It's the same with the driving experience; they just feel very solid, very planted, and (with older Porsches) have an analogue, tactile feel that communicates with you in a way few other cars do. It's a shame that people-at least purists-knock 996s as some kind of poor relation, but for us more normal adults, they represent great value. I'd just be worried about some knuckle-dragger keying it in a fit of inadequate bitter rage.

great review...I bought a black 996 turbo from a main dealer (Silverstone) in 2013...these cars were in recession then and I haggled over a genuine 1 owner 15k mile car registered in 2004.... it was mint ....truly unmarked as new...I paid 35k knowing it was a steal.... I kept it until 2015 and regrettably had to sell to fund a project....I advertised the car in Autotrader at 7am for 40k no offers and by 10.30 that morning it had gone into a collection never to be seen again....an amazing car and so blisteringly fast for the time....its hard to believe the type of performance generated by a 991 GT2 RS on a road when the turbo would still see many of the so called supercars off today and it would achieve that without breaking down....such a strong powerful car....glad you liked it...

Prices have massively increased in the last 8 or 9 months. £10;000 cars are now very thin on the ground. The 996 is beginning to gather a popular status and prices are flying upwardly into mid 40s and late 50s for the Turbo model. Great review I am just a little in history again. My Dad talked me out of buying a £22000 low mileage Porsche Turbo 2 around 18 years ago 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️. Don’t always listen to your parents, do it most of the time but not all of the time.

@Engineerboy100 4 года назад

I've been driving my 996tt for almost 8 years now and in my honest opinion, it is dollar for dollar the best sports car in the world!

@pye007 4 года назад

couldnt agree more. I've had one for 6 yrs, added larger turbos and ECU remap, 560 BHP and 600 ft lb of torque, not many cars can keep up with that. And everyday usability - an incredible car. Add a sports exhaust to improve sound, and buy a manual.

Paul woollock 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 power 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 I could feel only 20% to 30% more power on the 996 Turbo.. Is that a normal thing to be honest..?

Good piece. I happen to love the 996 twin turbo, particularly in manual and with the X50 factory performance upgrade. I do think they fit the term "Super car", more so than the Ferraris or Lamborghini models of that era. They have the power, performance and yet are trouble free daily drivers. Unlike the majority of their Italian competition

Nice video.... and you’re right, 911s aren’t generally considered “super cars”, but that’s not really the appeal to owners of them. 911s are high performing sports cars but are unique amongst the so called super car arena in that they can be driven daily and are reliable and practical. I like the car you have however the tiptronic box on it dulls down the performance a fair bit. The intro of PDK changed that in the later years. Great cars to run though and provided you change the oil regularly and don’t skimp on servicing, they will last forever....... no Ferrari can do what a Porsche can in that regard.

The 911 Turbo has always been the benchmark by which all other supercars are measured. All Porsche are clinical and very precise, that's the appeal, it's either something you like or don't.

Have to agree with you on pretty much all counts, although I have to admit to never having driven one. At £35k it's in the AM DB9 price range (something I did think about getting before my practical (read boring) brain kicked in and I bought a Discovery Sport). If I did decide to buy a sports car, of ANY variety, it would be the DB9. I could live with any issues, deal with any faults, just because of the looks. Bit like dating Cameron Diaz - high maintenance, but worth every penny.

If you blacken the rear indicatiors the looks improves by 110%

Suzumebachi I was thinking it missed out on the craze of clear indicators. Very 90s

Manual convertible 997 S is my attainable dream car. Always wondered what the 996 cab roof mechanism is like, someone doesnt feel like it's going to be as reliable as the 997, there's no real RU-vid content on it. The turbo does look badass

Had problems with mine

@byronmills5952 4 года назад

The 996 roof is identical to the 997s.

@chrisogrady28 4 года назад

byronmills interesting, always thought the 997 roof integrates into the design better with the roof up

@byronmills5952 4 года назад

@@chrisogrady28 The main shell is identical - as are the majority of the mechanics. In reality the 997 is just a comprehensive face-lift of the 996 - with changes to the exterior panelwork and a much better quality interior a facia layout. I had a manual 996 turbo S cabrio 7years ago. A wonderful machine - but even at 6 or so years old at the time needed a fair amount of upkeep to keep it up to scratch. For all their fabled reputation for quality - there are some specific issues common to these turbos which bite you on the arse if your not prepared for them. One of them is to keep all the drain holes around the rear hood bin clear. If not water will penetrate deep in the the rear of the cabin and swamp out the ecus which are located beneath the rear seats.....

I’ve just viewed tis video to hear an englishman saying: „996 turbo“. I liked it.

@dansimmons21 4 года назад

Great video. Newer and only two-seated I know (not that you can really use the back seats of a 911 for anything other than shopping and Dobby the house elf), but I’d love to see you review a Jaguar F-Type R or SVR.

I definitely will one day :)
