I think the Wikipedia page erroneously links to the "930" as the model that came before the 964 model 911, even though the 930 link goes to the page for the turbocharged variant... So would Porsche fans consider this model just a late version of the first-generation 911 then with no specific model designation? 🙂 Often the mention of "911SC" would conjour up the image of a Porsche 911 that looks like the tested one, but this regular Carrera supersedes the SC, right (with 3.2 engine instead of the 3.0 of the SC)?
There's a lot of 930 parts in the Carrera 3.2 and that causes confusion. This Carrera 3.2 actually has a 930/25 engine. When Porsche engineers were working on a design they worked under a unique 3 digit code and the 930 parts were what came out of the turbo project. The naturally aspirated cars got many of the strong parts developed for the turbo but they used one part number for both like the engine cases. Other original parts going back to the original drawings still use "901". But most for the G body use 911 as the part prefix. Although I recall running into parts that were developed for the 928 and 944 when ordering for my own '89 3.2. Porsche stretched their parts across lines as best as they could being a small company at the time.
Bro, I was just about to confirm that, but then I saw your username and just kind of went "ohmygodohmygod IT'S THE MATEBA GUY!!!" Very cool to see that you also follow this channel 👍
A '87 911 Turbo drove past me while I was going to the gas station in my neighborhood. Has to be the craziest car I've seen beside a brand new. Maybach with paper plates lol. Edit: I live in New Orleans by the way, car culture here is....interesting. Mostly ragged out Infinitis and loud LS3s lol
I've always loved this car. When I was a kid, a neighbor had a 1976 Turbo Carrera and he took me for a ride and it was the best ride ever. He took it on the freeway, shifted into 2nd gear at 55 mph and the turbo kicked in....HARD! Thanks for reviewing this classic.
Porsche has never made a bad-driving 911. AC was still optional on many cars in the 80s and would be a separately fitted add-on with separate controls. Fun fact: the wipers park in front of the driver so that the first wipe clears the driver's view faster. Same reason why the ignition is on the left, because racecar. I'm partial to the early air-cooled 911s with their cleaner, simpler design. The ducktail and body-colored impact bumpers are cool in their own right though. This one just looks so right. The 911 and the Jeep CJ/Wranger are probably the best examples of gradual automotive evolution.
Hey man, loved the video, I've got a soft spot for these aircooled 911s 😀 dream 2 car garage would be a singer DLS and R32 GTR fss Had a suggestion for your video format! Would be great to see your driving impressions interspersed with the info about interior, exterior, engine, history etc kinda like how Road & Track, Hagerty format their videos. Feel like this must help with viewer retention etc as well but yeh just my two cents :) Been subbed for a few months now and loving your personality man! Also cool to see cars we don't get here! Much love from the UK ☺
Ya know what car shares similar elements with the classic 911?.... the 1st-gen RX-7!! Unique engine? Check! Tachometer in the center? Check! Manual long-throw gear shift? Check! Plaid seat option? Check! Round 7-inch headlamps? Check! Rear-wheel drive? Check! Pre-80s? Check! Weber-friendly? Check! Driver-focused? Check!
05:37 You SHOULD own one someday. They are not cheap and the parts arent cheap but they are easy to work on and there is no other driving experience like it. Plus there is plenty of DIY support out there. 😉
I bought my neighbor's 911 Carrera for $17,000 and thought i was a genius for selling it a year later for $22,000 It's worth $50,000 to $60,000 now....SHIT
This car is NOT a 930, the 930 name refers to the turbo wide body cars, this is N/A narrow body car. No hate, it’s still awesome.

Not a 930, 930 specifically refers to the Turbo model.

Plus the 930 has a four speed gearbox. The Carrera has the G50 5 speed transmission.
@@bngr_bngr The 1989 930 also had the G50 but yeah, the vast majority of 930s only had a 4-speed.
@@LifeSizePotato it was a G50-50, it was more durable than the G50 in the Carrera.

My favourite car of all time. Was happy just seeing the title of this video.

The 87 came stock with AC. My Carrera went down to 32 degrees.

I have to admit, that is one beautiful looking Porsche 911!
Also, I really love the coincidental review number. XD
Man I want one of these older 911s so bad lol. Love the air cooled era 911s look.
Best gen of the 911 EVA!!!!!! (along with the 964, 993, 996, 997, 991 and the 992).
The 1960's/1970's origin of the vehicle are definitely evident in how the controls/switches are randomly scattered around the cabin! 🙂
This reminds me of the car Selena had. Except her's is a convertible.
Yep fell in love with this car in the 80’s and wow it’s beautiful love it
I thought you had better taste than falling for a fancy Beetle!!!
Niiiice!! we’re becoming a regular Doug DeMuro over here😅
that blue 993 does it for me :)
Duuuuude... dream car right here. AND OHHH BOYY did we yave to talk about the looks!! Good stuff amigo.
Great video dude -I feel the same -love it
4:42 What about a legless person? 😂
Like a kid in a candy shop!
I’ve always wanted one of these
dat blue 993 tho 😍
Such a fantastic car!
I bought my neighbor's 911 Carrera for $17,000 and thought i was a genius for selling it a year later for $22,000
It's worth $50,000 to $60,000 now....SHIT
"It's angry" get overtaken by a soccer mom.
Coolest . . . . Car . . . EVER!!
Hands down my favorite Porsche ever made!
One of my favourites car of all times!
Zack! review a 500e!
I already have!
@@ShootingCars let me go check it out!
wow. I am insanely jealous.
no coolant
Beautiful!
That's not a 930.
Cool
Nice visuals of a beautiful car; but you really need to research your facts better. 930? 944 replacing 911 (try 928), loose credibility.
Wow.
Steering wheel is small and Non standard! Standard wheel is larger and different (better) style
MY GRANDFATHER KEPT THIS CAR BACK IN 1927,
Your grandfather had a 1987 Porsche 911 in 1927? That's crazy, can I borrow his time machine? Also, WE CAN HEAR YOU FINE NO NEED TO YELL.
