The 911's Appeal Is a German Thing 

For real. Waaaaaayyy to short of a video... Its like a teaser trailer! I want to hear this guy for hours... God, I love Porsche and I'll probably never have one. 💥😢🔫

I agree. The way he tells the stories captures your attention.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Absolutely! I have only owned and been restoring my 912 for 18 months, and I'm planning on my next purchase already

Charles Damery Hey Charles, I got bitten by the Porsche bug nearly 3 years ago ( actually even as a kid with the wall posters & all that ) anyway I got my first Porsche & haven't looked back, it's a Sunday car for me but she's a beast, 1983 SC convertible ( guards red ) air cooled, flat six, no power steering, no ABS, no airbags, incredible exhaust note, anyone out who has dreams about owning one, you just have to do it, trust me you won't regret it.....

My big hit came in 1971 with Steve McQueen's movie Le Mans.

I have a uncle with a blue 1970's 911 SC targa.

The you will love" Alpine" (A French car)

tasteful mornings.

Do you Know the Song?

Thats why he probably died a golf manager and this guy does 300,000 dollar restorations...

thats when you wait three months then slash all his tires.

kleinbottled79 Why wait?

+kleinbottled79 I know Dally slashed my tires...

Try to get one as soon as you can. The younger, the better. You never run out of ideas on how to change it to make it more "yours"

911's have gotten so expensive that they're out of my price range. I am, however, looking to pick up a first gen (986) Boxster. As someone who's owned and driven both I'd love to here your opinion and comparison of the two.

looks like private property, they usually put them up everywhere

Who gives a fuck

irritablearchitect as a fucking noob who only rarely gets to drive my moms pruis on the back rounds can you explain?

tony mazzuchi Sure thing...and thanks for asking! When you stand on the throttle (gas) and the car starts to behave differently under acceleration, be it whether the car wants to push (understeer, or go in a straight(er) line) or to oversteer (the rearend stepping out and over-rotating...spinning), or maybe even squat, changing the weight bias from front to rear, effectively lightening the front end, will change the dynamic handling of the car, and not just turning of the wheel to steer into a corner. Being able to utilize this type of thing takes a LOT of experience behing the wheel, and the Porsche handles a bit differently than most other cars simply because of the rear-engined/rear-drive layout, so even more practice (and nerve) is necessary to push it to its limits. The more power you put to and given chassis, the more pronounces the effects of that power have on planting that power becomes. Does any of that make sense?

+irritablearchitect yes thank you

VTEC YO it's a vital part of getting the most out of a sports car. Breaking into a corner shifts the weight balance to the front and gives the front tyres more grip and reduces grip at the back helping rotate the car and cuts understeer. Lifting off mid corner however can reduce grip at the back due to the weight shifting forward and can cause snap oversteer and a spin. Putting your foot down will transfer the weight to the back and give the rear wheels more grip to most this seems counter intuitive Adding throttle as yo come round the apex gives more grip to the back and means you can accelerate a 911 earlier and harder out of a turn. If you drive any powerful car you will feel weight transfer but the feeling is exaggerated in a 911 due to the light front end and the heavy back end.
