      @@TheKaisarwilhelm Yeah, right... Not dissing Savagegeese at all, he does great work, but this doesn't compare to what a thirty plus person professional film crew and insane budget, like what Top Gear has, can do. It's not even a fair comparison. It's like comparing a movie you shot in your backyard to the newest Avengers movie. Yeah, your film has character, but does it compare with the quality that professional equipment provides? Does it have exotic/interesting locations, perfect use of multiple angles and viewpoints, professional writing, professional editing, etc, that they have? Most would say no, not even close and the same is true of this. As I said earlier, it's really not a fair comparison.

    I own two Porsches. My Twin turbo is a daily driver. I don't care about the interior, I don't live in it, I drive the car. I did upgrades like a tune, bigger turbos, and coilovers the car keeps up and is faster than many modern cars. I have no trouble keeping up with Ferrari 458s. My cooling lines are all done and the engine is bumped up to a 3.8. Great car! My other Porsche is 3.6 race motor 1982 SC. It's a hot rod, and very fast, I drive it mostly on twisty mountain roads, and it's great fun. The cars are totally different. The aircooled car is so mechanical in every respect and has been highly modified. It handles great, lots of torque and revs to 7000 rpm the sound is amazing. Fun cars I drive them often with a group of friends that have fast cars.

    @Savagegeese The part about the AWD system is incorrect. The AWD in the 996 Turbo is a very simple viscous coupling center diff. It is a completely mechanical process in how power is shifted to the front wheels. It takes no input from a computer or sensors. The front tires are actually slightly taller which heats up the viscous coupling fluid always slightly locking up the front and rear. Increase speed or increase rear slip at slower speeds, the viscous fluid heats up more, and locks up the center diff more.

    If I may offer a biased opinion, I believe a 997.2 Carrera S (2009-2012) is probably the sweet spot in price, performance and reliability of all the modern 911s. It has a much higher quality interior in feel, looks and materials (and seats), is tighter and handles better than the more GT setup of the Turbo, and offers that analog experience this channel yearns for. With a simple Sharkwerks exhaust mod, it sounds better than a 996 Turbo, has close to 400 horses and while not as fast as the 996 Turbo it is has a more enjoyable NA high-revving character. I think a 997.2 S addresses all the negatives raised in this video for a similar price point. Higher miles ones (~80k) can be had for mid 40's - just make sure its manual! No catastrophic IMS or bore scoring issues and a more responsive and powerful DFI engine vs the 997.1 generation. I have one as a weekend toy and I feel its pretty much full depreciated and relatively financially safe.

    Great review and a great car. Had been a bucket list car for me and finally picked one up after selling my 40th Anniversary 996. I absolutely loved it for the looks and power. That said, you can only enjoy it if you can afford to drive like a felon constantly. I would double the speed limit on Randall Rd, without even thinking about it just about every time traffic allowed. At low speeds it’s just not engaging. On the other end when pushed really hard the electronics would kick back in and now you are in opposite lock (or trying to be) at a very high rate of speed and arguing with your car. Less than ideal and quite alarming. Finally, you touched on the other issue and that was the sound. I eventually sold it and planned on getting a 997 C2s, but after some test drives went with another 40th AE 996 and could not be happier. The 996 seats are garbage so I did install 997 GT3RS seats, along with some 996 GT3 suspension bits and Bilstein PSS10’s. The only other 911 variants I would want more than mine would be a 996 /997 GT3 and of course a Singer.

    In a way, lots of "enthusiasts" get it extremely wrong by saying the 993 is the last OG 911. The 996 is actually the last old school Porsche.
    Its the last car they designed from the ground up by the old 911 formula to be a sports car and not just as a sporty luxury GT Coupé. It matches lots of very tricked-out design and high-tech features with the simplicity and functionality of an older car. Its high-tech even by today's standards but without the stupid trend of modern sports cars of being overly digital and overall way too casual.

    Wow this brings back memories... 996 Turbo was my first introduction into Porsche ownership. I had Porsche do an in-house upgrade on the exhaust and also installed the 996 GT2 intercoolers, also had the software tuned. It was an absolute beast of a car. The only issue I had in all the years I owned it (road/ track/ quarter mile driving) was a small linkage on the gear lever mechanism which broke, cost like $80 to replace. It was absolutely bullet proof. Only reason I upgraded was for the PDK gearbox on later models, otherwise I would probably still be driving it. Great buy even today as a first "super car"

    Cool video. In 2013 i was shopping used Turbo Porsches. I had a 996 C4S and wanted to upgrade to the 996 Turbo which was about $40k at the time. I test drove a 993 Turbo for $60k (they were dirt cheap back then) back to back with the 996 Turbo. I chose the 993 Turbo because it was smaller, lighter, faster, more nimble, and easier to work on. It worked out, in 6 years my 993 Turbo more than doubled in value and I traded it for a used 570s. The 996 Turbo is still $40-50k. The 996 Turbo is very reliable especially if you keep it stock. It understeers in the tight turns but a good set up sway bars will fix that. Corner weight and negative camber make a big difference in the handling

    I had one for 3 years.
    Very very fast
    Only problem I had was a power steering pump that failed, other than that bullet proof.
    The more you push them hard the better they get. You can drive very fast down tight twisting roads and they dig in and pull through, I found the chassis very communicative.
    On high speed runs, over 230 klms/hour they feel planted due to the aerodynamics.
    Negative points
    Too subdued (it’s made also as a GT)
    I drove my friends 40th anniversary and preferred it, felt lighter and sharper with more revs. That said the Turbo left it for dead on any road.....
    Great great car that I miss.

    Had a 2002 .
    1. Had in it tune (very mild, an extra 50hp, not 200 or more like many do), exhaust, coilovers, sways, flywheel, clutch, gt2 aero, gt3rs cup rear wing, gt3 seats, harnesses, fire extinguisher. So mostly cosmetics and track safety stuff.
    2. Loved it. Did HPDE. Learned about corner balance, alignment, sway bars, and double clutching/left foot breaking.
    3. Sold it due to costs....and an inablility to really exploit it past 20% throttle. That is a key thing to note on a lot of cars perhaps.....key.------
    1. Brake costs..... (stock issue, just the P car tax)
    2. Tire costs.... (stock, N spec tires are just taxed....)
    3. The coolant leak fix - pinning and pipe kit, from Sharkwerks, with labor...about 5k total. (these cars and other gt1 based engine cars including the GT3's of the era had epoxied coolant lines that would leak, dumping coolant on the track to the delight...of the others on the track.....causign crashes in some cases)- you had to fix it to be safe for others if you ere ethical (and wanted to be allowed on the track again). Not sure if ever a fix required by NHTSA. (stock issue, not due to mods)
    4. Before I could do that, had a boost leak. ....got quoted 18 hours to find and fix it. (not a mod issue, happened to stock cars)
    5. Along the way got stranded at a track due to a slave cylinder/pentosin issue....well known issue. (not a mod issue, stock issue, fix is to put in a gt2 type of unit where this was not in place...make the clutch push harder but increases feel a lot....many hours to do this fix...affects most of these cars.....most just put a new one in because they don't get old about the gt2 mod......)
    6. Oh, second gear died/broke and the rebuild took about 9k....apparently not uncommon. (to stock cars too...fork design issue, was told they "file" a little bit of material in the ford to prevent lack of tooth/cog overlap as supplied stock....)
    Anyway, about 2x a year one gets a 1500+ bill.....putting 10k/year or fewer miles on it. At some point, one needs to walk away if not super wealthy. This was over 8 years as owner 2.
    Moved to an 19 Subaru STI....same or better mechanical feel, and service is under 100 dollars q 6m at this point. Tires and brakes are cheaper. Leaving it stock....got a 7y warranty to 100k. Probably saving 10k/year. What you said is true in the RA review...and I actually enjoy this car "JUST AS MUCH" as the 996TT for a lot less - less attention too...which is nice. Note, am leaving the STI at stock power and only doing cosemetic stuff.
    These are great cars. And I miss it on one level but don't on another.
    And on the street....it was hard to use that car - it was too powerful. People need to look at realistic power. So many cars now are 400 or more HP and that is just NOT OK on the street. You find yourself bored actually or doing stuff that is not safe to others. 300 hp, what a mechanic once told me as the max for the street, really is the max for the street. In that context, the STI is just about perfect for the "real world we live in"...... And with less power comes more reliability and more safety... The country drive at 70 is the same 70....that part is hard to change.
    When you go on RUclips and look at the car videos by petrolicious for example, the best videos/storeis are people in old, analog cars that are about 200 hp. Old 2002 orange BMWs made in the front lawn/garage by a kid.... Etc. Even Ferrari's, JDM rarities, and older Porsches. They are having fun. Loving the cars' organic side.....this is a thing we are losing...as you noted about the late 90's. The STI is perhaps the last "new" car in this mold. I recommend you do a series on this aspect of cars - usability and meshing with the human's needs and senses. Would be very popular...... One has to grow up into this less is more aspect...it is not for lack of being able to afford a new 500hp x....it is having had one and being frustrated by it. When do you use these cars off the track legally and have fun (the big power cars of late)?
    Your reviewers are great (but please don't have both of you in one car..social distancing...) - and am doing things to make my STI more classy but still under warranty and analog.....and am loving it. I worry about the future a bit in this domain. Will we lose "the car"...? Have we already done so. Will the car magazines finally understand that this is a crisis - and perhaps laud the STI and other human scale vehicles before it is too late. It is not about 0 to 60 for most of us. Before they themselves, the magazines and press, are just another version of PC magazine and CPU benchmark listing sites..... I voted with my wallet and got the STI.
    Another sort of fun car of this ilk is the just retired fiat 500 abarth. Stock....fun at 170 or so hp...nice sound. On a backroad it is hard to say the Abarth is less fun than a ferrari.....really. That is where we need to take things IMHO. Another 500hp super car is not really right...an EV with 1000hp equivalent that weights 2.5 tons is not what we really need either.....we need the miata....the sti....the abarth...and perhaps some new exiges... Less power and more fun. And ideally some really big returns to beauty.
    So great review, and thank you - just remember that these cars have a huge hidden repair bill everywhere.

    Wow, guys. Beautiful car (it looks fucking fantastic in yellow!) and great cinematography!
    I own a 997 (first gen 3.6-- very basic car-- technologically basically a 996 with different bodywork). I feel like it's a perfect daily, do-everything car if you can afford the maintenance. Engine (totally different kettle of fish compared to the Mezger, I know) has been completely problem-free: it's mostly been a parade of little "this car is fifteen years old and has over a hundred thousand miles now" issues that have comprised most of the mx costs. Apart from one bit of very bad luck with a clutch grenading (slave cylinder actuator rod sheared off and dropped into the clutch, destroying the disc and marring the flywheel... oof), it's just been a matter of feeding the car a stead diet of expendable water pumps (they're a calendar item, if you want to avoid them shedding blades which then migrate to interesting places), fixing malfunctioning power windows, etc. At some point I'll probably need to replace all the rubber seals / trim bits.
    If you can live with the fact that you'll regularly be spending some money on really un-sexy, preventative maintenance, 996s and 997s are very lovable cars. They're quick enough that they don't feel slow, but slow enough that you can still lean on them a bit on public roads (as opposed to the newer cars where you either sit there bored out of your mind or drive fast enough that you'll go straight to jail if anyone witnesses what you're doing). They're soft and comfortable enough to drive to work everyday without hating yourself, but they don't really give up much ground in terms of handling to accomplish this. In fact, with the condition of most back-roads here in Southern Cal, the slightly softer suspensions really shine: they keep the tyres in contact with the ground where "sportier feeling" cars start to skitter across our shitty, uneven road surfaces.
    There's also the issue of general size and outward visibility. While the 911 in particular has done an above-average job retaining visibility despite modern safety regs, driving these older 911's reminds you how gigantic and unwieldy new cars feel when you're exercising them on narrow back-roads or in traffic. 996's and 997's feel positively tiny compared to the newer 911s: you actually have room to feel like you're driving a line through corners while staying in your lane. I also feel like I have much better situational awareness for normal, boring driving in traffic due to the acres of glass everywhere and excellent overall visibility.
    If people really aren't feeling the 90's plastic, weird-swoopy-shapes interior of the 996, the 997 takes those aesthetic concerns and obliterates them with a beautiful, simple, functional space. It still creaks a bit, but I think it's the 997 is the best interior they've ever put in a 911, and I find it hard to imagine a better one in any car, really: like the 996, it's got all the information you need, simply presented on un-complicated, minimally-styled, conventional gauges. The rest of the cabin just extends that philosophy everywhere: not over-styled or unnecessarily complicated, nice materials, no bullshit. It's perfect.
    I don't know-- maybe I'm biased: I remember loving the 997 when I first saw them as a kid / teenager. I wasn't particularly into cars at all, but I loved the looks and sound of the 997. Later on I ended up taking some driving courses (a basic safety course at first, but I enjoyed it a lot and wound up going back for more performance-oriented clinics) and found myself driving a 997 on a little autocross course. I just took to the car and adored it immediately: it took a few minutes to feel out the right amount of trail-breaking required to make the thing rotate through corners, but once you did, it was just sublime. I probably only spent fifteen or twenty minutes in that car, but I don't think I'd ever had such a rewarding, enjoyable drive. I knew I'd have to have one at some point. I've had my '06 Carrera for three years or so now, and I just love it. The other day, I went to roll the passenger window down and was assaulted by the horrific sounds of plastic gear teeth being sheared off as the window stuck half-way open. My heart sank as I realized I was probably about to spend another $700 replacing another invisible, expendable piece of plastic. But it's not the end of the world: I'll get it fixed, I'll hate myself for a few minutes, and then I'll go back to enjoying what is, at the end of the day, a near-perfect automobile.

    Beautiful production! My 996TT is my 4th 911, from 991.1GTS manual to 991.1TTS to 997.2TT manual to 996TT manual, in that order. Yes, wacky I know but the 996 is my favorite by far, it’s not even close. Both in looks and driving experience. I also never thought this was soft or less rigid feeling than the newer models and I’ve had them all on the track. 996TT stock suspension is soft but that’s easily rectified.

    Would have this over the 997, 991 or 992 any day of the week even if they were priced exactly the same.

    One of my first new cars was a 1980 911SC. Drove it 37K miles in the first year. Rebuilt the trans on warranty. It was plagued with fuel pressure valve failure 3 times. Sold it. Lost almost $20K. Five years ago, I bought a 2003 996 Carrera2. Beautiful, not driven in rain, 37,000 miles. Had a knock I kept telling the dealer. Finally a Porsche rep put a scope into the cylinders. Yep, the 2 right rear were out of round. Ran perfectly though. The IMS bearings were fine and original. A new engine, (with the same weaknesses) would have been $35K. I paid $28,800 for the car. The common solution is bore out the block and insert Nico-sil cylinders. I replaced the pistons,rings,cylinders and a 3-row ceramic IMS bearing. Took 10 months at the dealer--$17,000 repair. These are not "bullet proof." Most people don't really drive them. It was my 3rd car--for driving fun, never tracked. If you drive them, repairs will be more than the cost of the cars. I put 45K miles on the 996, always ran great, but it started using a liter of oil in 600 miles. I bailed. Traded it for an Msport 428, 6sp manual. Beautiful driver's car--with no repairs and incredible economy. They allowed me $18K for the 996; 911s are a beautiful car for wealthy people, very poor value for the rest of us :(

    It's an amazing car and still impresses. It's also very complicated and expensive to maintain. I'm glad I don't own one.

    • @darrbar
      @darrbar 4 года назад +2

      I own one. They really aren't that expensive to own and maintain if you don't have to pay someone else to work on it. They are actually pretty easy to work on as well, despite the cramped engine compartment. But, they need constant minor attention (boost leak tests, inspecting check valves, other issues you get with a 20 year old car) so you need to be comfortable working on it yourself in order for it to be relatively affordable to own.

    I’ve driven many cool cars as I’ve worked with them for many years, all brands. And I must say, the way these 996 911 turbos pulls you back in the seat and it just continues until, like they say in the vid, ludicrous speeds. It impressed me more than 458 italia, Stock Nissan GT-R (09), M3s etc. It’s awesome! I bet the newer 911 turbos are just mental 😄
