      My buddies brother called me a while back and asked for advice on a new car. His guns were set on a rotary with 150000 km and no rebuild. Car was 5 grand.
      I told him over the phone I would bet any money the engine has lost compression.
      Anyhow he clearly listened to me because he bought it (sarcasm). Then calls me about a check engine light 3 days later.
      I took it out for a drive and it was a total dog, misfiring at idle etc. lmao, I didn't even know what to say. He ended up paying mazda 3 grand for a new engine. Just stupid honestly.

    Porsche's lines are easy to remember and their history are full of great recipes.
    1948 - Porsche 356. 1st shape that would become the 911 later on
    1964 - Porsche 901. The prototype of the upcoming 911
    1964 - Porsche 911. The spawn of all modern 911
    1973 - Porsche 911 Carrera RS. Peak of the 911 craze and one of the best air cooled N/A collectible.
    1974 - Porsche 930. The spawn of the Porsche Turbo. Aka the "Widowmaker" due to the pendullum effect.
    1989 - Facelifted version of the 930. Nothing much has changed.
    1994 - Porsche 993. Last air-cooled 911. Spawned the infamous GT2.
    1997 - Porsche 996. 1st water-cooled Porsche. Spawned the now famous GT3. Aka "Egg-eyes" due to the headlight looking like an sunny side-up egg. Introduces PDK and CCB.
    2005 - Porsche 997. Updated version of the 996. Gone with the egg shape headlights and back to round. Saw the birth of the GT3 and 2 RS and the new 4.0L flat-6 engine.
    2012 - Porsche 991. New 911 that uses electronic assisted steering booster. Saw the birth of the legendary 911R
    2015 - Porsche 911.2. An updated of the 991 line where turbos will be added to the base Carrera. Different from normal Turbo variant which are 4L, 991.2 Carrera will be 3L and GT3 & 3RS are all still 4L N/A flat-6.
    That's the most condensed history for all different generations of 911 I can give. I did miss out some important ones like the Targa and such but that would be massively complicated to add in so as much as I can condense into an "Porsche 911 For Dummies" guide, this will be it.

      Can't help it when that's how the 911 line really works. If you want an even more comprehensive ones like 944, 928, 924, ALL THOSE RACING PORSCHE, 918, Carrera GT, 914 and such, we're gonna have a long day.

      Somebody has to say something: for whom are rear engine cars "wrong"? It is a stupid thing, what Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear (before) popularized.
      The rear engine layout is not wrong! The thing is, it makes the car only "edgier"!
      There are advantages to other cars, which let Porsche win a lot of races: the weight is all over the rear-axle. That means, there is mostly enough grip to accelerate!
      The disadvantage is, that it is not as easy predictable to drive (especially earlier models) as your front engine car. However to say, that a rear-engine car is "wrong" would be the same as saying, that a rear-wheel car is wrong (because mostly a front-wheel car is far saver for most people to drive in most situation).

    My first love was Ferrari. However, when looking at history to the present day, Porsche, overall, has become my first love. Their racing heritage, the constant onslaught
    rivalry they've had with McLaren, Mercedes Benz, Ferrari, and so forth is nothing short of legendary. The driving oriented cars they've released with their GT-2 and GT-3
    cars is nothing short of spectacular. Ferrari and Lamborghinis are the cars you like for their looks. Once you've matured, Porsche becomes the sophisticated tasted that you learn to appreciate.

      @griffins750 4 года назад

      Save up and go for an 80s sc, you can find them in and around 30-50k and with, granted, alot of work, they will last forever (that work is a problem with the engine that of which I cannot remember the exact name of however I know that it can cause your engine to need a complete tear down Fitment Industries did a video on aircooled 911s and they mentioned it there), that said, if you want the truest 911 experience possible that won't kill your wallet so long as you do preventative maintenance and buy one with a good service history there probably nothing better than the 80s sc.

      @DavidFlores-wz7uc 6 лет назад +32

      "investment" is a term that restoration mechanics like this guy in the video invented to over charge for a regular job.They tell the customer you are investing 5 k into a pile that is worth 2k, but is ok because is an "investment" ... just sales words.

    • @man_on_wheelz
      @man_on_wheelz 6 лет назад +30

      Putting a heap of money into a car you love to keep it running is never a lost cause as long as it's not a frequently repeated repair. If you're putting a new trans in the thing every 30k miles then maybe you should consider driving something else. But regular wear and tear that naturally increases as the car ages, nah, if you love it, take care of it.

  • @Fugettaboutit
    @Fugettaboutit 5 лет назад +1

    My father had several Porsches when I was growing up.....a 911, a 912, a Targa. Absolutely loved those cars. What I loved the most about them was the chrome trim, just added that extra little touch of class to that wonderfully understated classic body. Sounded like VW's for obvious reasons, always loved the feeling of solid traction in the rear....but then that edge of flying off dangerously into space in a tight turn. If I was into acquiring classic cars, I'd definitely start with a 70's 911 Targa.

  • @nls8520
    @nls8520 6 лет назад +6

    Porsche to me is a marque that once you get bitten you really fall in love with their cars, until that happens you might not "get" what is so special. They have such a rich history and also prove their worth on the race track, its a rare combination. While they branched out to other vehicle concepts to stay economically viable they are always about their sports cars/racing in the end.

  • @sirhcmi3
    @sirhcmi3 3 года назад +1

    I worked at a shop that did tuning on these back in the day... Simple, light, fast and subtle design changes from model year to model year made for a fast, simple and mechanically optimized ride. They were a blast to drive and the driver did ALL the driving. I was too young to afford one then and not successful enough to afford one now. A shame for me but congrats to those that still have one. Keep ‘em on the road!

  • @midnightfuture
    @midnightfuture 6 лет назад +9

    There is no particular virtue in an air-cooled engine. What is being sold here is romance, which is perfectly fine if you're buying. "Enthusiasts" arbitrarily select the parts of automotive technological advancement they wish to subscribe to, then invent stories to rationalize their preferences. I've never seen a comment on RUclips or car site forums/comments calling for bringing back the manual starter crank because it's a "more authentic motoring experience." LOL. Fuel injection is 100,000% better than a carburetor.
    If I buy an older car, I'll mostly embrace the technology it was fitted with at the time of its manufacture. If I'm buying a new car, i want it water-cooled, hermetically sealed, automatic transmission, power-everything. I love cars, and I can appreciate every point in the range. Enjoy what you drive-drive what you enjoy-and don't let anyone make you feel "unwashed" because you don't venerate the same things.

      That's one way to look at it.
      But if you have a real passion for something it just hurts to see someone buy one of those without even knowing what it is, let alone appreciating it.
      It's just another car to them, and they only buy it because other people find it cool. It will either get wrecked, because they don't care about it, or locked away and not be driven at all to increase value, because they don't care about it.

    I hate Porsche's, or I did, I thought they were just quickish sports cars that were just a brand and nothing else. Until last 2 years, when I found the yoshida special and it changed my whole perspective on porsche and now I really appreciate them, saw a fully original 930 yesterday and I thought wow never going to see that again. Great video btw.

    • @johnyoxley4715

      Sam yeah the first yoshida special that was in the midnight club was a 930 turbo but was heavily modified and had a twin turbo and could run at 200mph for more than 20 minutes on the yatabate and wangan.

      You can get it the other way around. The 912 had literally everything except motor and transmission from a 911. So to make a budget 911 to gain interest in the US, seen as the 911 was there only car and expensive, they released the 912. It was the same body, suspension, interior, etc. but the cut costs, slapped in a 1.6l air cooled flat 4 out of a VW and early Porsche 356 with transmission and slashed the cost. It made only 102 horsepower. It outsold the 911 by nearly 100%. It was discontinued after the 911 took off. The 911 remained their only car for a few years until the 914. When they killed the 914, they brought back the 912 for 1976 with a 2.0l air cooled flat 4 out of a VW making a gigantic 88 horsepower. I’m not joking. 88 horses. It was then discontinued for 1977 and replaced with the war crime of a car the 924. Eventually it returned again as the Cayman 718, which was introduced in 2005. Despite not being rear engines like the 912 and 911, it was still heavily inspired by the 912, being a 911 Jr. Interestingly the 718 was a rear engined race car from the 50’s that had been retired for about 45 years when it returned.

    Porsche was for a while the people's affordable super car. But not anymore, gone are the days where you could get a G model or even a 964 for around 15 grand. Porsche nowadays is slowly going from the people's car to the elite's car, like Ferrari or Lamborghini. A 200.000 mile 964 Carrera 2 is now 50 grand, that's out of reach for most enthusiasts.

    Bit late to the video but honestly Porsche’s just hold a special place in Lotta people’s hearts. For me it was the first nice sports car my father ever brought home, I remember him letting me take out my girlfriend in the car and everywhere we go “I love the car, nice ride” ect. It’s elegant, sleek, fast, but it’s not a huge attention grabber. It’s that quite kid in the room who you don’t know is secretly the #1 boxing champ in state. Prior to driving a Porsche I never found the appeal to them, but after experiencing everything these cars stand for, I’m obsessed. And can’t see myself owning any other sport cars as long as I’d gladly own a 911.

    We love it for the sound, playful rear end, the rawness of a car designed in older pure car design philosophies, such as very connected steering feel, playful chassis, oil smells, hearing every mechanical part, feeling one with the car and being connected with it. We love the charisma of the car, the fashionable looks, also the nostalgia. The older air cooled cars also reminds us of how car design philosophies and laws / norms have changed (to me for the worse, and I'd imagine for many driving enthusiasts as well). Cars are soft, big, easy, heavy, and becoming less and less playful. The air-cooled 911s screams an era of the past and defies all such boring philosophies and reminds us what driving should be all about.

Still one of the best games I ever played, and it contributed a lot for my knowledge of the cars and really consolidate my taste. When I got the chance to drive a sports car in that Exotic Driving Experience in US, I immediately chose the Porsche 911 among all other cars (Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and the GTR). One of the best days ever in my life. If I ever can afford such type of car, I will certainly buy some Porsche.

    Its just the fact that my second name is Ferdinand. My dad named me after Ferdinand Porsche. I hope one day i can afford my dream car and that the brand stop skyrocketing in price.

    2:00 Daimler is not pronounced Damler.
    It's pronounced like Dime-ler, like a dime if you need more reference.
    Not pronounced DAM-ler, not DAME-ler, DIME-ler.
    But this channel also pronounces kei cars as key cars, so it's like talking to a brick wall.

    VERY well-spoken gentleman. You would think he had an entire year to come up with his responses, and he memorized them to the letter.
