Nice footwork. Do you do any exercise to improve your foot flexibility ? Do you think big feet can do this ? (13US)
@PoorschedriverАй бұрын
@VincentFerrer Thanks! It is possible for larger feet, but the technique is different. Rather than rotating the ankle to get the heel on the gas, you'll just roll your foot to catch the gas pedal with the side of your foot. Shows make a difference as well. Larger sneakers usually mean you need to just roll your foot, whereas a proper driving show allows you to get your heel on the pedal. In the end, it doesn't matter what you do so long as you're having fun.

Soon the early Boxsters, 986 and 987 will rocket in price and everyone will be after them, as happened with the 911 before it became very collectable. There seems to be growing interest on KZbin in these cars.

Yes I understand. I make videos out in the country doing speeds between 80 and 135 and the camera does it no justice. You simply have to be in a car to see and feel those rides . I not insulting your abilities or your comfort level. I'm just stating that "flat out" is an exaggerated term used to get viewers and that is not even close to being flat out . That's why I only watched a quarter of the video. I'm just tired of the amount of deception these days that's all. Have a great weekend.

Hi Buddy. I am always fond of your videos, and I am always here when a new one is uploaded. I want to buy myself a 987 Boxster S also, but I am a bit afraid of Bore Scoring. From which year is your porsche model ? Did you have any issues with it yet ? And how many miles did you put onto it ? Thanks in advance for your answers. Greetings from France !
@Poorschedriver2 ай бұрын
Bonjor! Merci beaucoup. (that's the only French I know LOL). The car is a 2006, so it has the 3.2L engine. 2006 was the only year that the cars had the large row IMS bearing, and also the 3.2L engine. From what I can tell the 3.2L engine does not bore score, and if it does it's extremely rare compared to the 3.4L. I've had the car for 9 years. I bought it with 28k miles and it had 3 owners. It currently has 67K miles and I drive the hell out of it. I maintain it meticulously myself and it's actually quite easy to work on. The only issues I had was the door lever inside the door broke. I also had a bad tie rod end. That's it. I have done preventative maintenance such as rebuilding the convertible top transmissions, changing the water pump & belt, ETC. If you take care of these cars they take care of you. Hope this helps. Au revoir!

@jm4037 I use a go pro hero 7 with an Olympus lav mic. Unfortunately, I lost my polarizing filter, and without it, the dashboard reflects onto the windshield so badly that you can't see anything. My redneck solution was to cannibalize a pair of cheap sunglasses at Walmart and tape the lens to the front of the go pro, lol. For some reason, my mic was picking up extra wind noise as well. Either way, I'll be upgrading my setup soon.

Do the Top Gear headers sound just as good as the Soul or fabspeed ones? On video it seems like the other two brands sound a bit more "GT3" then the Top Gear one. What is your experience? Are they worth the 1000-2000 euro extra?
@Poorschedriver5 ай бұрын
The difference is usually down to having cats or not. I had a lot of seats time in a GT4 that had soul catless headers. It's definitely louder and more racy. However, that car had a fabspeed exhaust, and while it turned heads, usually it turned the wrong heads. IMO, the best compromise is sport headers with cats and the factory PSE. The car is basically stock for long drives, which is nice, and then you hit the button, and it's very pronounced. It just depends on how wild you want to go and what you can live with.
@wout-janwaslander25555 ай бұрын
@@Poorschedriver thanks for your constructive response. But say, PSE is the base in both scenarios. Does it matter to go for the Top Speed catless header or the Fabspeed/Soul catless headers? Because the price difference is significant.

@wout-janwaslander2555 IMO having handled both products you're paying for the name. The construction looked identical to my eye.
