Felt as if I had cat claws on the winter roads. The only issue for winter was the poor clearance and anything more that a three hour drive was uncomfortable . Nevertheless, the safety factor and control was amazing, One night returning after a late night flight , I had encountered freezing rain on the interstate alone, dark and no traffic . I had to suddenly stop to avoid a coyote. We had a moment , the animal glaring at the headlights and I at him. He almost nodded and implied...OK you can pass. Made it home safely. 😅

That was an interior design so far ahead of its time that I actually think it still looks ultra-modern and beautiful even today in 2023! Btw, you should absolutely review a 4th-gen Prelude VTEC on the channel if you can ever manage to find a rare clean and un-modified one!

Absolutely insane and a pure drivers car that would pull the smile off your face and transform it into fear reincarnate. Such a beautiful experience.

Most likely it a deoderant allergy. I used to have huge pit stains, and my dad did too. Like as soon as we go outside, they become huge and plate sized. I was super embarrassed and tried all the medical deoderants. Then I stopped wearing deodorant and using scented body wash. It just completely stopped. Now I just use a simple hippie deoderant, although anything with antiperspirant actually makes me sweat profusely. Its very odd, I wonder if he has a similar issue.

Fabulous car. The headlights looked appropriate for the turbo and 4s, when they transitioned onto the carrera they looked a bit ungainly. It’s also clear from the used car market that they are pretty bullet proof. In all the car magazines when the 996 Turbo came out it was hailed as the greatest Porsche of its day.

Follow-Up: I drove the 996.2 Turbo tonight and its A BEAST. I had a 997.1 Carrera 4S for a while and I loved it - but compared to the 996.2, it was a just a toy!!! With the Fabspeed intercooler and some other mods...I get up to X50 range easily. The thing has torque for miles and the Porsche Turbo rumble is deafening inside the cabin - and it is GLORIOUS to hear. A complete joy to drive. A bargain for such a car...even with the premium on them nowadays.
@adamc2451Ай бұрын
I never drove a 911 until my uncle let my fiancé and I drive his 996 this past weekend (7/22/24) we had never driven something fast. I had a GTI but that was it. This car is now on a special list in my heart. Absolutely one of the best experiences I’ve had and I love this car. I don’t care about the head lights, it’s a 911 and it delivers on the name.

I took your advice and just bought a 2001 911 Turbo hardtop, 6spd with 20,000 miles. Paid $63k. A bit more than I wanted to spend, but I've noticed that since I first watched your video the prices are increasing. I had tried to buy one with 55,000 miles on it for mid $50's, but it sold before I could get deposit down. Then this one popped up. I see convertibles with automatics are still $45k-55k. But I wanted the hardtop. These things are wicked fast. The torque band is insane, and consistent in 4th and 5th gear, especially 4000-6000rpm. Thanks for posting this video!

Funnily enough, this is one of my favorite generations, because of the different lights. The circles always reminded me of a Beetle, and when this came out, it was like they were finally putting effort in to differentiate it. Plus the long nose, rear end/lights, overall shape, and in that factory metallic blue color with these 5-spoke rims, and tan interior was just awesome in my opinion. Silver on black is nice too.

the "battery front trunk" icon on the lid of fuse box is to let owners know that they can connect a portable battery charger to that location and any metal part (door hinge) to unlatch front hood. This is for folks who have dead battery. Most folks don't know that..and therefore have a tough time jumping the car because of locked front hood.

Doug this is another great video. The 996 Turbo X50 has 1) Synchro problems when downshifting downhill the manual transmission slips out of 2nd gear. Also 2) the clutch slave accumulator fails in many 996 Turbos for no reason. 3) The water cooling lines deteriorate and leak causing some 996 Turbos to overheat the rear wing hydraulics and finally, 4) They burn a lot of oil with white smoke when the fittings pop out.

I think the aversion to the runny egg headlights is less of a purist thing and more of the headlights not flowing well (style wise). To me, there is the familiar circular shape, but then almost like an afterthought Porsche decided to add in the rest later roughly blended in. If the headlight was one continuous shape and less two odd shapes, I think it would look a lot prettier. It ain’t ugly, but it sure ain’t beautiful.
