I remember buying the dvd years ago and still have it. I was finally able to buy a 996 turbo a few years ago.

Congratulations on getting your hands on a 996 turbo. Enjoy one of the finest sports cars to have ever come from Europe.

This is by far the best review of the 996 Turbo. It is unbiased and factual... shows how bad ass the 996TT really is!

Probably the best designed 911 of all time. Can't really get much more praise than from those of the BM guys, they BEAT the piss out of every car.

OMG 😢 I will never forget the time I randomly found this DVD and purchased this DVD at a video store that was going out of business in NYC. I was watching this back to back all weekend. Man, the levels of nostalgia I feel right now is unreal. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The 996 Turbo a sexy design with the famous rock solid "Mezger" engine. Love the Le mons style racing lights awesome. The rear end is of pure porsche character a power haus design. The best Turbo, way ahead of it's time. Really is the ultimate aggressive porsche a total road all weather urban icon.

This is like the only thorough review of the 996 Turbo at the time of release. Top Gear really disappoints in their lack of interest in the car. I feel that they should have given it more air time.

@@alexavina7960 after watching the show for so long, I realize that it’s actually a complement they made for the 996 Turbo. The car was just too well rounded... they couldn’t create an interesting narrative around it. For some, it may appear lack lustre or boring, but in reality... it’s brilliant!!!

Watch that PSM in the wet. It'll kick pretty hard and sometimes compound your mistake if your in a drift. If you get into a big drift(in the wet), it'll be late to the party and gives you a nice surprise. Then you find it working against you, while regaining control. First hand experience in my daily driven 996.
