One Man's Obsession with the Porsche 911 996 GT3 Aero

[@BABY3438]

These are great cars now becoming genuine classics they drive brilliantly look good and handle much better than all the modern 911s keep up the good content thanks

They'll never be classics The ugliest model ever made unfortunately

[@jasonkuo7178]

996 is the most special generation of 911. Time will tell. People are tired of modern car design and old school will become popular again.

I had a 98 mo30 with lsd, cable throttle, dansk exhaust, ipd plenum and throttle, mapped, it was and is an awsome car. I have a turbo that is modded now, and the 98 is arguably are more focused drivers car

[@SF_Native]

I have an ocean blue 996.1 with aero, with cable throttle and LSD. Bought it nearly 20 years ago when prices were super low, with only 25k miles to boot! I recently picked up a 997 GT3 RS and the plan was to sell the 996 (even though I didn’t want to), so my wife and son said keep it, because we all love it so much. I decided to hang onto it until my son is ready to take ownership. Love the collection mate, 996s forever! Cheers from SF, USA.

[@GT380man]

So impressed by you both and your work. What a beautiful car. Mates chat, too. So warm. Uncommon these days. Thank you 😊

[@GT380man]

@@SF_NativeChuffed to hear she’s a keeper. You’ll regret selling it & it’ll also appreciate from here on in. Made up at the prospect for your son. Even if early on, he wants a slammed Yaris with a straight pipe and an insane music system, in time what he’ll want is a classic 911. Oh my word, you almost got me seriously misty, talking about the 90s. I’m a lot older so I was in my first professional job through the 90s. I didn’t enjoy it at the time the way I’d enjoyed the late 70s, early 80s (I guess equivalent to your 90s, early noughties). I realise it’s mostly rose tinted spectacles, but life was much simpler, more human and of course analogue everything from bikes & girls to money and communication. Would I go back, if I could? No. It’s always a journey and learning is life. I’ve always said & found that listening to someone who’s knowledgeable about something & passionate too is ALWAYS well worth it. Love the genuine enthusiasm and gentleness. Odd word to use about two fellas from another fella? I’m increasingly realising that being who you are and having self control is a highly moral state of being. You can be strong looking men without the faintest hint of “toxic masculinity” & all that divisive nonsense. Capability (for almost anything) coupled with elegant restraint is an underrated attribute. My wife of 40 years says it’s always that pairing which she has always found most attractive. You guys have that. Enjoy your superb car. In closing, why am I here? I’m excited to report that I’ve just bought my first Porsche 911. It’s a 40th anniversary edition of the 996.2. I got to this choice by a combination of ruling out the 991/922 as too big for me. Earlier platform 911s are just insane prices. I preferred the 996 because I am concerned about how readily onboard tech can be deliberately exploited by the authorities. Imo there’s an agenda to restrict our customary freedoms. 997 is a little too modern in that regard. 996.1 I found marginally less good looking than the .2. I was lucky to come across what might be one of the lowest miles (12k) of the limited run of 1,963 examples. Stored in a dust free, cool & dark garage, it feels like a Time Machine, taking us back 20 years. After agreeing the price, I elected to splash out on PCCM+ and a new, original equipment Porsche Switchable Exhaust. It looks & drives like new and it’s now got a huge spec. I don’t plan ever to sell it, but I’m going to enjoy it whenever I want and so is my wife. I can’t tell which of us pensioners are more excited!

[@Krnnerdboy]

Currently an owner of a 991gt3rs, 430 scuderia and 3 996....turbo, 4.0 built c2, and a cabriolet c2. The 996's cover all the bases of a car enthusiast for me

[@RollingSlowMedia]

That is an impressive collection. Which car gets the most road time?

[@danstimelessclassics5899]

Wow a 4.0 C2 bet that's mega 🫶

[@Krnnerdboy]

@RollingSlowMedia appreciate it! Definitely the 4.0 c2, it has the full bbi suspension treatment on kw clubsports. The performance is very attainable on the streets vs the 991gt3rs and its much more dialed in than my late 997gt3. My biggest gripe is the exhaust note, which is really raspy. Fabspeed longtube headers and x pipe is the current configuration,I will try a non x pipe setup next. The turbo is second on k24 billets, and the 996 cab is last when I just need a quiet ride with all the 911 driving dynamics(all oem for now) On another note, I recently purchased an sls amg but was so disappointed, that I sold it within a couple weeks. Porsches and ferraris have hit the spot consistently.

[@Krnnerdboy]

@danstimelessclassics5899 it definitely is! Power feels like 95% of my 997gt3 but a better torque curve but short of the mezgers exhaust note and top end. If I were to build it again I wouldn't forget the x51 cams and a ported head

At 1:50, the statement that Volkswagen "owns" Porsche it not entirely fact. The Volkswagen Group is owned by Porsche SE...so technically Porsche OWNS Volkswagen

[@danstimelessclassics5899]

Ironically it's all VAG and I believe it was Audi that saved Porsche and helped them develop the 996 986 which saved the brand but VW was biggest part of VAG group so in theory it was VW that owned everything but ofcourse that's just the brand ....VAG is the group that owns it all

There not all that bad it's a myth ...these early 3.4s are generally great suffering just with age related deterioration like most cars with high revving complex engines ... The gen 2 996 and gen 1 997 went through a period of bore score issues but again not every car although 997 is looking worse for that ...loads and loads of very high mileage 996s out there running completely original internal engine components...I'm taking 150-200 even 250+ k miles cars especially 3.4s very easy to find a high mileage car that's never had engine work
