Well said. It is a “use case” scenario. My current 911 is a 964 Tiptronic coupe, and around town it is the perfect classic Porsche. While the 996 has never been my favorite, it is a 911 and does transcend its era because of this. In C4S form it remains an iconic, handsome car.

Nice review. I’ve had my E63 635D for a year now, quite simply the best car I’ve ever owned. I know the rear is so divisive, but I personally think it’s the best angle. So far all I’ve done is basic maintenance and servicing, Just about to tick over 153k miles and barely a rattle or squeak

Wow! The 996.2 C4S is a beautiful 911, especially with turbo twists. But the interior on that specific one is the chef’s kiss!! Try as you may, you’re not selling me on a tip, sadly.
@shootingbrake Күн бұрын
No probs - the Tip isn't for everyone! It certainly has its place in the market though, and at this price point its a fantastic (and ULEZ compliant) competitor to something like an E31 8 series or Mercedes SL.

I have had 3 996's all Tip. A properly set up box will change gear, up and down, probably quicker than a manual. This, a manual is a more involving drive! I don't get it. For me, the involving bit is steering an Braking, not lifting my left leg to push a pedal with one hand off the steering wheel. Anyway, each to his own I guess.
@kriskalpa Күн бұрын
nice video, thank you. I think it is possibly the best looking 911 of all time. Newer cars are too fussy and aggressive. The 996 C4S is simple and that's what gives the timeless look. People that don't know anything about cars just like it and that's cool.

Yes you can. Don't shoot me: I had a go in a manual 996 Targa once and I did not really enjoy my time with that gearbox... Preferred my (now sold) tiptronic 986 Boxster S. Still - if I am ever in a position to buy the 9964S I so desire, I would re-check to see if I still prefer the auto over the manual. Because I know it seems like that can't be right lol.

I love my manual C4S, would never entertain a Tiptronic though, they have only 5 speeds and the ratios are Looong, takes any ‘sports car’ element away from it. I agree about the ride, they are surprisingly comfortable. The 996 C4S is one of the best looking cars, ever. The rear end is very purposeful, and the front end I think looks good with the Turbo front bumper.

Yes they nailed the C4S design on this gen! Tips aren't for everyone but they definitely have their place in the market.

@rossbethell4187 Күн бұрын
Yeah. Savannah (yellow/cream) is too much. The grey is a bit like a flight on Lufthansa in 1985 and black is quite common. Contrast cinnamon is gorgeous. I think that’s key though, it needs to be contrasted with black. All cinnamon would be too much. Once you start getting any other colour than black for the steering wheel it’s too full on.

I have a 997 and chose one because aesthetically they are much better on the eye than the 996 from the unorthodox headlights. But I have to say with the 4S body kit the 996 does look pretty good still .

@@claudiomarangone614 sounds like a racing car. Because it does. My exhaust is Ti unrestricted . It sounds absolutely amazing when in the power band and is very,very loud. Also, the 996 turbo engine is devired from the GT1 Le Mans winning race car. It feels like one because it is very fast and capable of 197(Porsche claims)I also have a Honda CBR400RR motorcycle with similar exhaust(revs to 15,000)It has the same sensation. Brutal, viseral. They race my bike all the time also. I also wanted but haven’t found a smaller bike. CBR250RR. Redline is 19,000 and rev limiter is 20,0000. My bike and this one never came to the USA. The 250RR sounds like an older F1 car. Cheers.

Sounds incredible. It is crazy how much an X-pipe changes the sound of these 911s! The later cup car exhausts collect into a single system which may explain why they sound similar.

@@RichardWarner-df7dz Oh, it sounds like a Porsche race car . pardon, I misunderstood you the first time now I understand. Thank you for your thorough explanation . I own a 964 that has Poersche 993 heat exchangers with a canted X-pipe that flows into 993 mufflers, that have a 1 inch bypass. Sounds excellent with no drone. When I’m on it hard and in high revives, it lets me know what I’m doing and when I’m it gently or on the highway it isn’t tiring. I get compliments on it all the time .
