Porsche 911 no fun? Here's why!

Let's talk - jump in and come for a drive with a Classic Porsche 911 T. This isn't your average Sunday driver; this is a car that's meant to be driven, and boy, do I make sure it gets its fair share of action.
Picture this - a club racer setup complete with a half cage, race seats, and harnesses. Sound deadening? Forget about it. The carpet is firmly glued to the floor, and the Dansk exhaust, gracing new heat exchanges, ensures that this beast is anything but subtle. It's a symphony of sound and well used 200 horsepower, all packaged in a lightweight chassis tipping the scales at just under 1000 kilograms. It's a power-to-weight ratio that promises pure, unadulterated fun.
But let's talk about the nitty-gritty - the suspension. It's not for the faint-hearted. With upgraded torsion bars and Bilstein shocks, every bump in the road is a reminder of the car's purpose. In my ownership, I've renewed the bushes and ball joints, ensuring that every twist and turn is met with precision.
And to cater to my ever-changing moods on the road, I run two sets of wheels.
First up, the 'track mode' on 16” Group 4 Campagnolo wheels with R-spec Yokohama AO50 tyres - basically slicks with eyebrows cut into them. It's a setup that screams performance, perfect for those days when I want to push the limits on the tarmac.
And when I'm in the mood for a more relaxed drive, I switch to 'comfort mode' on 15” Fifteen52 003 wheels. Paired with meaty and tall wet-weather competent tyres, this configuration absorbs the bumps on the street, providing a smoother, more laid-back experience.
So, why is your Classic Porsche 911 no fun? Simple - if it's gathering dust in the garage instead of tearing up the asphalt, you're missing out on the thrill that defines this exceptional machine. It's not just a car; it's a driving experience that demands to be enjoyed. Buckle up, hit the road, and rediscover the joy of driving your Classic Porsche 911 the way it was meant to be driven.

I was once a Purist, I was concern about what was the matching wiper rubber blades and many other stuffs, I was missing the real objective, the real point. At 53 I was giving the surprised and awakening of an acute heart attack , 3 stems later I looked at life with a different eye. Now I am the proud owner of a 1983 God knows what it was!!! but Man do I feel So full of energy and Joy every time I step on it!!! It smells, Leaks oil , wrong wiper blades!!! LOL But it has never turn me down!!!!! Love it! Go out there before your kids or significant other may inherit your passion!!!! Go and Fuc.......g drive it!!!!!

[@genetung8590]

53?! What in the world are you doing to yourself bro?! Don’t you have kids to lookout for? You can’t just die. You have responsibilities!!! 😂

[@QuantumBlu9x]

More classic pls 🎉❤

[@adventure_shadows]

Totally with you on that, it can be easily translated to what ever hobby/interest we have! Keep it simple and have fun!🙌✌

[@drewrodwell4221]

So good, back in the 90s that’s what these cars were about, hill climbs and super sprints were filled with genuine GTR Toranas and modified 911s, I loved those cars much more than the pristine collection cars.

[@razorworks111]

Great video and I share the same perspective. Buy it to drive it.

[@jasonlaker8723]

Spot on mate, the number is only important to guys that are missing the point.

[@MrRoyck10]

Driven not hidden ……9Werk 🇬🇧

[@gieselats]

I love the sound of that classic 911. it’s pure ans awesome. Keep up the good work.

[@ZondaF355]

This is sooooo very true. In order to make just about any road car behave and sound properly it must be modified, at least lightly.

[@3.2Carrera]

Great video. Hat's off for driving the car the way it was meant to.

[@wikster6630]

Made to be driven and thoroughly enjoyed!

[@tonyhirst9319]

You’re absolutely right. I’m from the other school, bought the car of my dreams a fairly basic low mileage C2S and drive it once or twice a month because I’m worried about what adding km’s will do to the value. This while living in the shadow of Mont Ventoux in Provence a region covered in incredible driving roads. Great and poignant video.

[@kevinbodman1011]

If you're going to sell it, then sell it if not go drive her you will spend more money in repaires by not driving her.

[@reeltrides911S]

I couldn’t agree more. My 1983 SC Cab has original black paint with chips and scratches. Drivers seat has a small tear in it. Engine needs to be steam cleaned. But! You know what? My OCD is gone now and really enjoy my car. Same with my 06 997.1. Just drive and enjoy the shit out of them before we’re all EV then cricket noise!

[@berniedmd1901]

Only 8K subscribers and I cannot wait till you post video's and I live with my Porsche friend's in Orlando Florida. Keep it up!!!

[@DuckWhale]

Thanks Bernie, I'm glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@andydio4825]

They are meant to be driven & enjoyed. These cars should never be kept as a garage queen.

[@mikelyon5595]

Sounds wicked!

[@m.m8760]

Nice video. Amazing car. Let's not kid ourselves. When they cost much less, a different type of person owned these cars and for different reasons.

[@mbrunocondello]

Now that is the way to do it ! Love it !

[@DuckWhale]

Thanks 👍

[@andrewfarrow4699]

Cars are for dtiving. Porsches are for driving fun. I love my 98 Boxter. It's runs and drives great, but looks like shit so I got it cheap. I garage it and look after it properly and really doesn't cost me much to service myself. I can drive and park it anywhere without any concerns or apprehension.

[@DuckWhale]

Hey Andrew, yeah I hear you. The Boxster is the Porsche experience without the worry as you say, they are a good honest car, where only the drivers know how good they are, and most drivers I know are happy in that knowledge!

[@ej2863]

Outlaws, hot rods, sleepers are the best, let's drive!

[@michaelgideon6422]

Great one Lee! "it's not a real RS" lol I know the guy

[@mosca3289]

Cool film. Awesome car.

[@mathewdaley8911]

100% Smiles per mile = Value.

[@daggidding4478]

Nice one mate. Great car😃👍

[@toddatstone_city_outlaw8714]

Sounds soooooo good.

[@glenns2801]

Mate 110%…I’ve got a 996.2 C4S and I’m putting a 997.1 turbo in the back of it. Why? Because it’s more fun

[@SBudd86]

Good skids Lee

[@DuckWhale]

Ta!

[@odeirt]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@kylegertridge3479]

Is this car running the standard CIS the 3.0 came with? Sounds amazing. Would love a little detail on the engine and exhaust setup as I consider getting to a similar place with my high miles (past and future) SC

[@DuckWhale]

Yes, it's a standard 3.0 with CIS heat exchangers and a (well used) dansk exhaust. Also the short ratio gearing and lightened flywheel allow for fast rev up, which ads to the sound quality.

[@kylegertridge3479]

@duckwhale anything to share on my last couple questions? If that’s an old dansk 1-in-2-out sport from stock 3.0 heat exchangers I’m clicking buy now. Thanks!!

[@DuckWhale]

I'm pretty sure that's it, I'll try and dig up a photo.@@kylegertridge3479

[@fartloudYT]

I admit i am on a... fairly generously built fence on this. I think it is possible to modify the car too much to a point it loses it's original character entirely. As long as it adheres to a version of the original Porsche vision then anything is a blast even if it has modifications. If it is some original ~70s Porsche body, put on some honda chassis, turned into AWD and has a Tesla engine, all the power to you, but Porsche is just a shell at that point, which could have been a better fit for a car that has insides of a Porsche. With that said, i think Porsche in this video is great.

[@Cento24]

Not all 911 owners with matching numbers don't drive their cars or worry about chips and dents. Nor do we keep them like museum pieces.

[@meussen]

Need more bits-sa car for sale.

[@helmutbargeld728]

You must be a kiwi?!

[@DuckWhale]

Australian. You were close 👊

[@kazstrankowski8721]

Umm... welcome to outlaw?

[@seniorsenckes446]

I love fast cars and i study the money system. Later is broken and that's why those fast cars are actually misused as a store of value. I bought as much bitcoin as i could the last two years. With the rise of bitcoin all those misued stores of value, like rare cars and real estate will lose its premium against bitcoin. If you love racing and like to have a car like that one day to actually use it for what it is supposed to do, i suggest you to study bitcoin real fast. The window is closing. hurry up!
