420 HP '82 Porsche 911 | Born on Mulholland Drive

Say hello to Derek Whitacre's flame-spitting 1982 Porsche 911 SC that has been turbocharged and modified over the past 12 years to reach the point at where it sits now. It's truly a beast of a sports car, and a handful out here in the canyons. With a 3.4L flat-6 over the rear axle, it feels like nothing else i've ever driven before, and the whole drive had me thinking about it as a giant metaphor for my time here in Los Angeles. We hope you guys enjoy this special episode of the show, and if you'd like to checkout Derek's shenanigan's down in Mexico with the Targa Baja, his documentary is out now on Adam Carolla's Chassy network. chassy.com/pro...

Ok! So this is about halfway in-between those behind-the-scenes vlog style videos we put out a couple of weeks ago, and a fully-produced 45+ minute feature film that we hope to shoot sometime this summer. We don't have a Patreon, we're not asking for donations, but if you have a moment to give this video a thumbs up and share it on your social media, it would mean the world to us :D Hope you enjoyed it! - Marcus

[@ther1kid]

Roads Untraveled Well done! This format was excellent. The Im gonna drive this car and talk about it style is good, but this had a lot more substance. Very relatable.

[@rollinbou5]

Can't wait for the film you guys are shooting. Always top notch production quality

[@walperstyle]

Come to a real road sometime. Highway 93 between Banff and Jasper, end of july. Mid week.

[@martynpotter21]

Keep up the great work Marcus (& Co.), another quality video, I really enjoyed the cinematography on this one and I'm always a sucker for a classic 911. Have shared!

[@speedfiend925]

You forgot the biggest drawback. IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE! 😐

[@themoscowcoupattempt]

Being the guy IN THE VIDEO... Just want to say thanks to Marcus and Grayson! They were a pleasure to work with, and they really put together something special here. Look forward to seeing you guys when you head south again.

[@sicarius_cycling]

Derek Whitacre awesome car. Just curious, how come the gauges are sideways?

[@themoscowcoupattempt]

Thanks. A couple reasons for the sideways gauges. The tach is that way so that the shift point is always pointing straight up (because race car). The others are tilted so I can actually see them. The steering wheel is smaller than stock, so I adjusted the gauges in a way that I can read them without bobbing my head around.

[@sicarius_cycling]

Derek Whitacre thanks for the clarification.

[@ajaymatto]

Beautiful air cooled Porsche and well built. I have been following you on Instagram for a long time. But what happens after 6500 RPMs?

[@themoscowcoupattempt]

Thank you very much. 6500 is where the limiter is set. It was my way of telling Marcus "Don't go there." Peak HP/TQ is around 6000 anyway, so not really useful going past that.

[@VicVoss]

I usually don't comment, but damn was this video edited amazingly. Just had to let you know how well you guys did putting this together

[@milli2385]

VicioustC same.

[@TheVoidNoob]

The Quality of this video and all your videos FAR exceeds what you would expect from a channel of this size. Keep it up! 👍

[@KevinMinato]

I know that you put an extra amount of time and effort into this edit and it truly truly shows. This is your best work Marcus! Very proud of you. You have outdone yourself.

[@freikinpoptarts]

Wow this is unreal quality guys. The effort put into this really shows. I hope to see more like this in the future!

[@evanvukets8035]

Amazing work you guys! Amazing shots, great narrative, and phenomenal car. 10/10

[@MindDezign]

As a car guy I loved this video even though I drive a resto mod 78 Datsun Z.This was , thoroughly enjoyable ...

[@Aladdin5cave]

Man, you guys deserve 500k subs at least! The production is so good.

[@haymule]

this guy reminds me of myself about our cars. chips in the paint not a show car. just history as our toys to have fun in (:

[@boostedjdm185]

The cinematography in your videos are simply pornographic. Keelp up the amazing work!

[@tc11139]

Most underrated automotive channel. This one gave me chills

[@gamerwithvision]

Truly, truly ,truly nice video. Damn this porsche is nice and the guy that drives its cool. Not to mention edit was way better than anything i have seen on this chanel, was like an authentic documentary-street vibe thing

[@brendondumas1549]

By far the best video you have done yet, the story line combined with the raw driving cuts are superb, a job well done!

[@commonsense8995]

My first Porsche was a 1973 RS 2.7L which I bought for $6500 believe it or not....previous owner was a NFL player who"s mother lived in Edmonton Alberta back when I was 19 years old....I cry knowing what its worth now.....but the memories I will never forget!

[@JesusRodriguez-tm8go]

to me, this is the best video you've done yet. congrats from Spain

[@blindmonkey9999]

This channel is becoming the perfect blend of Matt Farah and Petrolicious - fuckin' brilliant!

[@klasseact6663]

9 1 1's are FOREVER!

[@jdmkidk24]

Over all quality for these new videos are amazing!!! Keep it everyone!!!!

[@markmccawley2526]

Great license plate!

[@windnsea03]

That analogy between the car and LA was spot on, just as you complained about the R8 being too clinical (even though objectively fantastic) is the same idea with the city. The clash between wealth and poor, beauty and grittiness, beach and city, etc. makes for an experience, something that is hard to put into words but stimulates one in a way that an imperfect car does too.

[@seanpervak3609]

Incredible work brother, definitely one of the best videos you've produced.

[@neutralsamurai231]

Very high quality production video.

[@savethesi5224]

Love the production quality keep up he awesome videos love them

[@mauricio951]

I remember seeing this guy and his 911 on a One Take episode. Loved the car and was always curious to see more!

[@luggnutz]

Well done! To me, this is one of your best videos yet. BTW, I understand the L.A. area, I'm from there, lot's of negatives, but a lot of great things as well. The car scene is awesome. Unfortunately, the bad out weighed the good, so I'm gone, but I can always visit!

[@phillipcrossin5570]

you're rasing your own bar in this vid!

[@wadesloan]

Great job Marcus

[@WarpSpeedSloth]

This video has stirred emotion in me which I cannot describe. Some sort of peaceful aggression. I suppose it is metaphorical to your description of LA. Keep up the good work guys, love your videos. Very inspiring!

[@trdadam2325]

don't ride in this guys car or use a black light in it....😑 unseen stains. Hope you washed your hands.

[@dimitrakisbonbon8919]

I'd to horrible things for a 930. Unimagineable things...

[@strizi83]

Awesome Video from you Guys! Really enjoyed it!

[@blackhole4]

This guy reminds me of main actor in Wheelman! Amazing movie for any car lover btw!

[@angry.8]

Awesome machine 👍 and definitely one of my favorite road to drive.

[@MizanurRahman-kk8wo]

Love this car.

[@jordanthomson7682]

2:32 should say Roads Untraveled~~~~that would look awesome!

[@AWE_ZIOLIO]

КОСМОС ! Hello there from Russia, oh boy that's a great one !

[@dave_6889]

One of the best video youve made so far if not the best! The images were awesome and the car is amazing! Really professional content keep up your good work man

[@turtlehater2]

Gorgeous camerawork boys

[@McRocket]

I was hoping this was THE Porsche for Mulholland Drive. Should have known better.

[@MarkCalica]

That air cooled boxer engine just sounds like SEX!!!

[@aumkar2]

Fucking beautiful work, your videos are top class.

[@SIRICKO]

Wow that's nice.

[@RDubbayah]

Great video. I love #StupidCar. Rocking that PD Leathers jacket so fresh Derek! lol

[@4litrespoolyboi206]

Mos Isley spaceport... you will never find a more retched hive of scum and villainy... oh no, wait, that's LA... my mistake... we must be cautious.

[@cooledcollective]

Derek! "Stupid Car".... boost life... slick video.... Cali life forever!

[@Bashirbros]

6:30 you need to shift faster than that. the rpm is dropping too quickly

[@ozman1975]

WOW!

[@MrMichikelomtres]

i got the 911th like on the video lmao had to comment

[@RealAnthonyJones]

Rock chips in a front bumper not so bad. Scuff marks and burns from a leaf blower by the lawn guys though....that type of shit makes you turn into wall loving Trump.

[@kylethestyle]

I get the sideways tach, but all the other gauges?

[@Th3BoyDad]

This is probably one of my favorite episodes from you guys.

[@LazyWaffleman]

This is proper video, a style between. I know cause Im an expert and you dont know me. Good stuff.

[@HAMlLTON]

The production quality is amazing dude!

[@DriversSide]

This is probably your best video yet! I’m biased though because Porsche

[@ibaum007]

I love the comparison between LA and the Porsche!

[@ganktuh]

He keeps saying Mulholland Dr but I think he really means Mulholland Hwy. The Mulholland Dr racecourse is between Laurel Canyon and Coldwater Canyon overlooking Hollywood and the Valley. Mulholland Highway is from Santa Monica to Malibu

[@marcushalliday2139]

Brilliant ... Anybody know the brand of wheels ?

[@MohdHairien_9]

gold chrome please!

[@murk1352]

I absolutely hate when the spin the gauges...? That absolutely does nothing for you! I don't need gauges at all when im driven a car! I can shift by ear & when i can feel it just at the top of the pulling curve!. Just one you're supposed to grab the next gear!!! Currently i have a 550-600H.P. BMW 135i which i need my tablet in it so i can look at everything after driving it to look at timing & if any little imperfections are happening. But even my car i can drive without cages. Turn the gauges up! The only reason cup drivers do it because they're strapped in with a helmet!. They cant look down like we can so the need the needles at the top & again that's the cars only purpose. But this is a street car even if you track it. I just hate the look it's such a cliche of trying to look like a race car...?

[@allensaunders449]

There are now so many interpretations of older 911s great selection of tuners to choose from or step up to singer if you can

[@Jizzics]

I would give both my testies for an old Porsche. Anyone else agree lol.

[@jenske65]

I think you need to have testies to drive this crazy porsche.

[@haymule]

Mr. Like A lot id have my kids before i do that but i sorta agree haha

[@paolosolcruz]

Where's the baseball bat with barbed wires lol. I like his build philosophy, built for his purpose. Not a show car, not a track car. An imperfect street car with rock chips and suspension dialed to handle real life roads

[@touringteg]

Incredible video and car! Top notch quality. You deserve way more subs.

[@NippyMoto]

I was getting bored of your videos for a while and unsubscribed... Now you upload this, I don't know what to do haha

[@patrickwcowley]

This film, the Cinematography, editing, sound.... Wins an award in my book. I mean you guys could do a film about trashcans on the side of the road in & around Los Angeles and I would be looking forward to every episode. Come to think of it, this is an awesome video I imagine seeing Anthony Bourdain in..... Thank you so very much sharing this with us. These 15mins are better than all the hours of tv I've watched in years. This is a masterpiece... Wish this video & you guys were at an award show.... 🚗🏆💯 & Makes me want to get a 911♥️

[@dftns19]

Well done! That was above and beyond!

[@bigfishthugger8063]

The dark character of LA is what always wins my heart at the end of the day. It’s an addiction.

[@chriserz94]

>50 views club

[@acalthu]

Now this is what you call an outlaw porsche. Not that boutique shit everyone else comes up with.

[@documax123]

I wonder if this fella, the owner, watched Magnus at some point.

[@alexanderswander8176]

I wonder how the Gas mileage is... is it worth than something like a murcielago

[@Ducksauce33]

You guys moving up. I seen you on the smoking tire. Nice😉

[@zapfkopf]

Love the cinematic style! Great movie, great car, great surroundings

[@devinpinder6934]

420 blazing💥

[@mzondi1970]

Rode my uncle 911 40 years ago and still want one this is how you do a 9/11

[@jmckmedia6377]

Damn Marcus, things just keep getting better man! Sitting here in Edmonton with snow outside and inspiration to burn. Cheers and can't wait for the next one!

[@NSCA12]

Crazy Charlie and Chris Banning were the kings of Mulholland!!! That silver Porsche 911 of Bannings was a rocket. Sitting on Grandstand and watching people try to keep up with him was awesome. PS - The owner is awesome!!!

[@themoscowcoupattempt]

Were you there back in the day? I'm friends with Banning now, and a few of the old Mul runners from the 70's/early 80's. Banning still has the silver RSR. - Owner in Video

[@NSCA12]

Derek Whitacre I started watching in 82. I rode a Yamaha YZ125, as I was only 14, and would sit on it and watch the races. I started building an MGB with a 289 and a Top Loader when I was 15 and got it done right after I turned 16. It wasn't fast in the hills as it handled for shit, but I had allot of fun with it. I remember trying to keep up with the white Scarab V8 Z-car only to have him put bus lengths on me. I'm not sure he even knew I was back there. Almost everyone there was older than me, but very cool. Chris was always kind of aloof, but damn I loved watching him run. It's awesome to know he still has it. Does he still drive it through the hills any? If I remember correctly he lived right off Mulholland or am I remembering wrong? What did you drive? I've always wondered what happen to some of those folks. The cars that stick out in my mind are - Chris's RSR another 911 with large rear flares A Capri Mini Cooper 67-69 Camaro Mid 70's 4-speed T/A A V-Dub with a Tee-Pee exhaust and only one seat. The Z-car mentioned above. There was a station wagon that stands out in my memory too, but I can't remember why.

[@themoscowcoupattempt]

That's great! Yeah, Chris is still off Mulholland, but I won't say where. He's got the RSR running, but he doesn't really take it out. If you ever see a silver Ferrari 360 up there, that's him. The other 911 you saw was probably John Hall. I know of a couple first gen Camaro's that were totally raced-out... one of which was also Banning's. He had a red one with big flares and spec'ed for SCCA racing. The station wagon may have been Dave B, but I'd have to ask him. I met a lot of the old Mul racers starting around 12 years ago. In fact, a guy I worked with at that time was up there the same time you were. I didn't live in LA, and was WAY too young to be up there, as I'm in my early 40's. You want a flash back in history check this link out. A thread I started years ago regarding Banning's book on Mulholland. forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/323773-what-happened-mulholland-king-hill-rsr.html

[@NSCA12]

Derek Whitacre Oh wow!!! Thank you for sharing that. I will be reading for awhile, it had me hooked in the first couple of pages. I'm living in Alabama now, moved here due to work. I want to say the Camaro was a Hunter Green. Please do let me know who had the wagon if you are able to find out. I love your car, it's great to see people keeping the hills alive with sounds of an air cooled 911. I currently drive a Cayman S and am looking for a decent 911. I would love to see that chopped, swooped silver bullet in the hills again. Please tell him "Hello" for me the next time you see him, if you think about it. Thank you again for sharing and please don't ever sell that car.

[@themoscowcoupattempt]

Thank you! Oh, and a lot of the cars you talk about are either mentioned or there are photographs of in the thread. At some point, Banning shows up in the thread and starts posting old pics. Somebody talks about their mom's wagon that they fitted with sticky tires and beefed up suspension. It's ALL in there.

[@legokingiscool]

14:22 that angle showcases my favorite thing about classic porsches. Damn. It's so beautiful im nutting

[@93455Driver]

Heard the TST podcast and thought I would watch an episode of the show.......+1 subscriber. Now looking through the back catalog.

[@sanderhawkins533]

Very happy when opened my laptop today and see Mr. Whitacre's turbo sc on youtube. Loved the video, nice work all around guys!

[@recaanharb]

Your Cinematography is breathtaking dude...SUPER impressive.

[@mxkcrm]

Gorgeous views and cinematography! This channel has come a long way 👍 keep it up!

[@texis300]

Want to drive a older car that is lighter and has almost double the whp? I’m in Texas...

[@simrip6072]

Nice Video! Its called „Die Faszination“ and not „Der Faszination“ 😉

[@themoscowcoupattempt]

Simon Rippe It’s the name of a video series. Check it out.

[@thof8287]

I've been watching your videos for awhile now and if you compare what you do to the smoking tire well there is no comparison. This is more on par with petrolicious

[@bernardmauge8613]

I compose music for a living. It shows.

[@Acklecrumble73]

Good stuff! I like the combo owner and reviewer vids. At least, it seemed to work well here.

[@rg9526]

"I'd flog the shit out of it though." hahaha fuck yeah

[@Laguna2013]

The owner of this car seems like a solid guy

[@JETX1990]

Getting a Petrolicious vibe with this video! Your production quality is getting better and better.

[@100thomasmagnum]

Luv that car! Whats left that's stock? Also mileage? Nice vid! Subbed.

[@OiCCaboose]

I like this guy. Interesting character.

[@jin-cg9vz]

That headlight is sexy
