I love both the cars ,but being a true car enthusiast,I choose Porsche ahead of any car(except JDMs and American cars Dodge Viper,corvette c5 ,foxbody mustang and 90s camaro(which is a true drift machine) ) but the f40 has a beauty which makes it a collectable, and sometimes a different driving experience !
My dad's friend owned one, before they shipped them out they gave all the people that ordered one a call that the car had gotten more expensive. The friend asked his wife wether he could still buy it, she said " do I ask you when I buy a dress" He loved the car for 15 years
Pumphrey, I've only been following your work for a short time. Hearing you say a 959 is better than a F40 though, that seals the deal. You're Alright by me.
Donut brings so much automotive joy to the people. Im old, so some of the format is not really for me - but my god they put out quality content on the regular.
but the 996 was introduced in 1997 and the boxster in 1996, so there was watercooled boxer engines before 1999. the 924 was the first watercooled porsche though, back in the 1970s.

Things like drivers should be covered by the gpl and not copyright. If I buy a printer, and I want to add functionality to it, I would be able to do that without being a criminal.

Love your videos. I would suggest you do a video explaining Le mans & the different car variants as it’s one of the biggest races with a lot of history.
When I was a kid my mom and dad took my friend and I to the Dallas car show and they had one on display. I got the die-cast model of it in silver like the real one. It was AWESOME!!!
This is the first time & im only posting it here. I was fortunate enough to be the one person who actually offloaded Bill Gates 2 Porsche 959 in White & Silver back in the late 80s off a Lufthansa Cargo Plane that arrived in the early morning at SFO Int'l Airport. After opening the Side Access doors of the 747 Cargo Plane. the 2 Porsches were tied down on a Silver Pallet & before I guided the Pallets out of the Plane, along with my Supervisor, we both took turns & got on the 959s in a jiffy before the Lufthansa Agents arrived to inspect the Cargo. That was a memorable moment for me coz it was the 1st & ONLY time i was able to gaze my eyes on such a Gem, Rare & exotic Ride. I didnt know i was Bill Gates Porsche up until later that year at the SFO Auto Show that I went to the Porsche Boothe & asked the Reps there wheres the 2 959s that arrived. They were even surprised & asked me how I knew about the 2 959. I told them I was the one who offloaded them off the Plane & thats when they told me that they where in a Warehouse & were not allowed to be driven out & it belonged to Mr Gates ...... The rest i guess is history....
So cool, learning interesting stuff about all the cool cars, I grew up dreaming of, from an overly excited guy yelling car specs at me. JP you are awesome!
One of the coolest looking cars from the 80s. I remember being a kid playing gran turismo 2 and getting into Porsche or "RUF" and wanting this car on that game so bad. It looked cool but I didn't realize til I was an adult how advanced this thing actually was. Cars like this need a reboot with today's tech...no they don't need it they deserve it being they laid the ground work for the future.
Congratulations on being able to drive, hang out and do a show on. Truly one of the baddest cars EVER built. The majority of us will never get that experience. Hell the closest I'll ever get is the poster and the Hot Wheel and Matchbox cars. Thank you for the killer episode
Just one thing, adjustable ride height was a thing long before this car was made, the Citroën DS had it all the way back in 1955 (and it was actually very useful if you needed to change your tires)
I first discovered the 959 when, as a teenager, I saw the plastic radio controlled Paris-Dakar Rally model made by Tamiya at my local hobby store. Love it from then, love it still! Thanks #donutmedia for making this!
I think donut took over the void where motor trend was. Motor trend wanted to make the quick money and moved to their own website. Alot of viewers lost interest after they found motor trend was going to charge for content. Donut has become a very good (almost better) replacement.

James,take a milkshake with me.
F40 is cool man. But 959 is way cooler above that F40. For ferrari fans, they just don't know what they said about.
Winning argument for 959: Take your f40 to dakar
I respect both cars! But while 959 was more technical and way ahead of its time, the F40 was definitely more raw!
