1972 Porsche 911 Carrera T/S: RAW & Cool AF 50 Years Later.

[@michaellinander6974]

Thank you Misha @mgcharoudin for the excellent drive! As a passenger it was fantastic. It seems like it doesn't go that fast - all I can say is that it did - and in an 52 year old car there isn't anything to filter the elements so the senses were fully loaded. Highly impressed by your driving skills - especially how you drove the car a few hundred meters and then it felt like you had done nothing else but driving this car. Thank you for bringing the car out on the Nordschleife and back to its roots!

[@mnieh9869]

don't you dare to ever sell this beauty of a car. What a machine.

[@michaellinander6974]

[@stevegreene9149]

You have a stunning 911! Thanks for allowing Misha to drive it and film it for us! I had an '89 3.2 Carrera for 16 years until a few months ago. What I miss the most is the rawness of it. They grab all your senses (maybe except taste!).

[@castel32]

Congratulations on such a beauty! I always wonder how it would be to drive and own one of these gems and consider buying one. This video helped me understand a couple of things: - This car is not as agile as modern cars (we all know this, this is no news, but seeing it is different), things have to be done let's say carefully and methodically. Maybe feeling it in person is also different, I still will be missing that part. - This car is probably 4 times better than the average Porsche from the 70s (that I would maybe be able to afford) and does not have the top amazing upgrades and top maintenance that this one has. The average one has to be a lot worse to drive. Makes me wonder: Do you have any other modern car that checks other boxes too and makes you smile in a different way? Do you agree at all with my opinion? Cheers!

[@MERKAMGCLK]

There is NOTHING like an original AIR Cooled 911. I miss my 86 Carrera track car. What a beast it was!!!

Other than an air-cooled Beetle of course. Or a 356.

Yea you can't go wrong with that air cooled flat 6; sounds beautiful and feels great to drive with also to the original poster of this comment is the 1986 carrera have the oil filter right in front of the rear wheel like it was in the 993

[@krumkarapetrov4316]

Wow... I've seen all kinds of cars on the channel - new, old, fast, slow, but this has to be my favorite car by far. Light, manual, analog, naturally aspirated, enough power without being overkill or just undriveable... Can't think of a better combination of qualities.

The owner got a real dream car! Its very kind that he lets you drive his old Porsche because not everyone would do that when you got such a nice old classic car. Best sounding car 2024 on your channel in my opinion especially on full throttle from 4000 to 6500 rpm.

[@Huggybear101]

I enjoy all of your videos, but this one took a special place in my heart. I got my driver's license on a '84 Carrera. You two were definitely the coolest folks on the track that day. Thanks for sharing.

Seeing you come onto the straight and taking the ear plugs out and steping onto the throttle and listing to it sing and watching that smile reminds me why i love classic cars. Its for those moments we live for.

Im so glad you drove one the air cooled flat six is still a great feeling to drive with. I miss the 911 Carrera I used to have; it's great to hear that sound again. Also is the one thing that always makes me wanna hear the 917 from the interior

Cars like this prove that faster and newer is not allways beter. I hope new generations of car enthusiasts realise this as soon as possible. Forget laptimes, go for the full raw experience.

The first time I saw a air cooled Porsche up close it gave me such a lasting impression It's so perfect I could cry and no other sport cars can give me that feeling probably

Love these videos, just pure enjoyment of the track with cars that really push you to the limit, with the added nerdy talk.

[@Kfo00793]

THANK YOU, Misha, for bringing back the pedal camera for this video! The brake pedal work really shows your talent in being able to handle a car with a historically dangerous driving dynamic (as well it shows how cautious you are driving and I do not blame you for that!). Really enjoyed the video!

[@Itsjamilagain]

These retro cars are so much more connected and fun than most modern ones. Miss when my 95 vette was on the road. TCS one those cars applies the brakes so I always had it off. 300hp/335tq from factory. Brutal car, considering the prices.

[@stevecarter5084]

What a beautiful car with a fantastic sound. Shows you don’t necessarily need lots of speed for a great lap! Thanks Misha👍

[@skeetwebster9389]

Man! Talk about a pure driving experience! Everything you need and nothing you don't! Your vids kick ass, Misha!

[@Czeslaw_cn4tv]

I've always had a feeling (just a feeling) there was something off about your driving but the way you handled this car (and a 992 GT3 RS a couple of months back) is changing my mind. Lovely braking, always combining steering with throttle input and being very delicate with it while also fast. Great video.

[@howtorepairpendulumclocks]

Love the respect all round in this video. For the driver, for the car. Misha learns from past mistakes and slowly improves the channel. Great work.

[@shaunmccormack6980]

Not sure I’ve ever seen Misha so focused? Aggressive, yes, in the new stuff, but here he’s working hard. At first, not to bin it. Later he’s enjoying the effort. Nice

[@pcx4545]

That car has to cost a fortune to repair if he just crash it, that's maybe why he's so focused

[@Syncopia]

Also does require some skill and effort to pilot. Old school RR cars love to spin.

[@sebastiankaiser5165]

@@pcx4545in that car, with no helmet, no cage, no airbags repair cost would be the least of my worries...

[@Galf506]

Old Porsches don't have much in the way of aero aids, not to mention everything else. That gas tank on the front gets lighter as the lap goes on making the weight distribution even more extreme. If you let off the throttle you cut traction, you need to be really in touch with the car to not flip it into a barrier - I've got no personal experience in this, but any good simulator will give you a nice wake up call to how these cars can go suddenly from "great" to "not great" :)

[@sebastiankaiser5165]

@@Galf506 i‘ve got experience in this and let me tell you, all the online horror stories about snap oversteer etc blabla are wholly unfounded. You need to have a basic understanding of the physics of weight transfer and what it does to the car (in theory) then a 911 will be the most rewarding, intuitive car you can possibly drive, just because it communicates everything it does to you non-stop. In fact I started on track with an aircooled 911 and then made the switch to BMW and I was really struggling to gain trust in the light rear.

The owner is just a cool and classy bloke. I mean, you can trust in Misha trying not to crash your car, and afaik, he never crashed an expensive/irreplacible classic but how Michael casually tells when it loses grip, it's game over just before the drive is hilarious.

[@thatcopenguy]

Porsche actually moved the oil tank to in front of the rear axle once more when the Porsche 964 came out in 1989, but the filling cap remained under the hood so that people don't mistakenly fill in the oil tank with gasoline (which is one of the reason why the 1972 oil flap disappeared) Only other 911 that has the external oil flap would be the 1967 ultra-rare 911 R, but that is a homologation special with double digit build numbers

[@Earlings]

And a RUF CTR if you call that a 911 ;)

I actually grew up with cars that have a similar pedal arrangement. You have to keep the ball of your foot on the brake and swing the heel over to the right and press it down instead of just rolling the foot. Modern cars have gone away from this for whatever reason and so heel/toe has become more of a foot roll affair and I just like this better. Great car. Pretty amazing! That car is as old as I am :D And yes, agreed about Hugh Jackman, hell I'd be happy if just one of my limbs looked as good as him!

[@kuurakarahka]

Ah, the car to leave a lasting impression on my mind from playing NFS Porsche 2000. In a nutshell, the lines are spectacular. First of all, see how the front end has this nimble, focused look. The trunk lid sloping down can seem out of place - the careful arrangement perhaps distorted by the lens? - as if it was lacking in bolster and statement, but you can see it allows the driver ample visibility at nearest extremes, and you may also imagine the wind channeling onto the car as it intends to spear through the air. From the straight, driving lines of the front, the form morphs into curves and bulk suggesting of power, hidden momentum to brace your back on and propel the whole onwards, letting the past challenges and obstacles slip by in your wake in scattered torrents of memory. Upon pondering the shape of this vehicle, I can't help but see dichotomy in the language it speaks to my eyes. It is much like the relationship of Sun and Moon, Man and Woman; one assertive and vigilant, the other veiled and magical. What would one be without the other in a world where the wind speaks no-ones name? This is one car where the pen has perfectly joined these opposing motives, and upon seeing it, it can never be unseen.
