    The 993 era of Porsche 911's from 1995 to 1998 is a favorite among those who love air cooled Porkers. It is the newest, and therefore the most modern air cooled 911, and it maintains a great balance between over-engineered modern quality and old-school feel. It may not be the fastest or most powerful 911 that you can get for the high-five figures, but it certainly feels special to drive.

    I have owned a 97 993 for 14 years now. It is the best car ever! They will pry it from my cold dead hands.

    The 993 is, in my opinion, one of the best 911s ever made.

    +1. .. Kurt welcome to 993 ownership. .. The biggest, single most bang for your performance buck is a gearbox swap from an early '95 or '96 993 which has a lower gearing profile from 993 production years '97 and '98. .. Either that or regear your '97 gearbox. .. I've experienced a MY96 993 gearbox swap first hand back in year 2000. .. To this day the lower gearing brings a smile.
    Good luck with your 993 C2 coupe. .. Signed; a MY98 993 C2S owner. .. ordered new.

    Hey Matt. Saying Hi from Trinidad in the Caribbean where we don't have a lot of the cars you drive. So we don't get to see them as much. Can you have one of yours guys do some more interior/exterior shots of the other cars while you're​ doing your takes, so you wouldn't be burdened with an overload of work. I think everyone would enjoy seeing more of the cars(including this beautiful Porsche). We love what you and your team do. You do what everyone wishes they can.

      @1swttl 7 лет назад +4

      He's not really getting paid. He drives the cars then has to create content with the cars and then we have to watch them and then he gets paid. Just because he creates these videos does not guarantee he will get paid as some videos don't get as many views. Not many people get paid to drive cars. Journalists don't get paid to drive cars. They drive cars then have to write articles for whatever magazine they're writing for. Matt and his gang works really hard to make interesting content week after week. It's not an easy gig. I know I wouldn't be able to do it because I'm unable to talk in a way people will find interesting lol

  • @timsullivan3921
    @timsullivan3921 5 лет назад +1

    I have a 1997 Porsche 993 and I agree the gear shift lets the car down. I replaced it with the 993RS short throw and installed a "Golden Rod", it really improved the gearshift. I feel it's the first thing you should improve if you buy a 993, it really makes the car a lot better to drive.

      If you can save and get a 993 or a 964 it would be far more rewarding. They are the last of the true Porsche cars. Before they started to get bigger and more powerful with the 996 onwards. There is nothing wrong with the 996 or 997 but go and try them against a 993 or 964.
      My dream is an early 70s or mid 70s Porsche with all of the rawness of the older cars. Even the old 4 cylinder porsches are cool.

    • @MagicAyrtonforever
      @MagicAyrtonforever 5 лет назад

      @@bighands69 Unless you don't like the old style dash, guages that only show your face and floor mounted beetle pedals that are a pain to use. I like the 993, but a decent gen 2 Cayman is very close for a huge amount less.

    Love your videos Matt. I own a 81 911SC, with a long throw shifter :) I think that changing the shifter on these cars, including the 993 models, takes away from their driving experience. It may sound like a good upgrade, but trust me, the floor hinged pedals, lazy center steering, whirly-throaty engine, engine cooling fan, AND long shifter, all work together to give us that particular driving experience. Once you being modernizing these cars, you will enjoy it at first, then a few hundred miles later, you will miss the original setup.
    Keep up the good work!

    +1. .. The 993 series drive character is right up there with the best of the best 911s of that evolution. Some say,,, the single best performance enhancement (yrs ‘97 & ‘98) is swapping the gearbox for an early production unit with its closer ratio gearing. Made the swap in 2000 to my ‘98 993 Carrera 2S and never looked back. Funds well spent !
