Congrats on the 996 Turbo. My 993 Turbo was the first twin turbo Porsche. The headlights you show on the picture of the Boxster were the headlights no one liked and were called the runny egg headlights due to the amber lenses. That runny egg headlight was on the base 996 from 98-01 Your 996 Turbo in 2001 had the revised headlights that everyone liked better and those updated lights appeared on the regular 996 starting in model year 2002.. The 996 Turbo was a big hit when it debuted due to performance and revised headlights

959 was the first twin turbo 911 road car?
@henryatkinson14792 жыл бұрын
7:00 The hood is actually not mode of aluminum. No body panels on the 996 are, everything that's metal on the 996's body is some sort of steel. There's a breakdown of what's what in the factory service book if you're interested. EDIT: 12:40 That was not even close to the first twin turbo Porsche. The first twin turbo roadgoing car they made was the 959 with twin sequential turbocharging, and it was followed up by the 993 Turbo, which used conventional twin turbocharging just like the 996. EDIT 2: 5% is a pretty gross overestimation of IMS failures, and rally dumbs down the problem. The lawsuit alleged a 1.5% failure rate on single row bearing M96 (so M9603 and M9603S on the C4S), while the dual row bearing in the early M96 (M9601 and M9601S) had a failure rate of less than 0.5%. There's also a lot of factors that play into it. Low mileage cars are more likely to fail, and replacing the bearing on a car with a manual is ridiculously easy. EDIT 3: On your interior comments. Firstly, yes, the cupholders were an afterthought. The 996 interior was designed in the early 90s and debuted in 19993 on the Boxster concept car. It went basically unchanged for the 996 when it went into production in late 1997. The cupholders used to be detachable pieces that clipped in front of the air vents on either side of the dash (so over the ignition and in the same place on the passenger side). This was dropped in 2002 in favor of option in-dash cupholders as you have. Further, the center console locks because the original 996 had no glove box. The airbag module was larger and an older design, so it took up the entire passenger side dash. This changed in 2002 as well. The locking console was a carryover. Nothing to do with cabriolet.

In a Supercar interior would be seen as minimalist, as focus is on driving. For 996, it gets hate it shouldn't for interior. Especially from the driving enthusiastic crowd that should be more concerned with driving Dynamics and not luxury features. From my standpoint as a luxury buyer I don't see the car as lacking for what it does. I wasn't expecting a super luxury interior back when this car first came out. The interior simplicity is good for enthusiasts imo.

The front vents are not for downforce, they are ducting to cool the brakes. Also, you don't jumpstart in 1st gear bet second. And please, please don't ever smash the funk like that! The tires in front are not taller, the 40 is a percentage of the width so 40% of 225 = 90 mm in the rear it's 35% of 295 = 103,25 mm. The ceramics are NOT part of the X50 package, they were an option. Even on the x50 package. The 996 also has a light pointing down from the roof, it's in the centre roof console. The lights in the doors are not for lighting the starter key but are just crude ambient lighting. They stay on while driving.

Nice quality video ,but let me correct you about two things. First, the front lights of the turbo and 996.2 where not on the Boxster neither the GT1 ;) Second thing, the "turbo s" model (2005) got the standard ceramic brakes (PCCB) and other extra like sport seats, not the X50. The optional performance package "X50" had bigger intercooler + bigger turbo (k24) + reinforced gearbox + a different ECU map (as the "turbo s"). I have an X50, cheers from Prague :)

I did opt for the Tiptronic as I have a bad knee and I can't do a clutch anymore, unfortunately. An absolute beast of a car...and got it for a bargain. I got lucky. Thanks for this video. Well done!

The exhaust tips are X54 option the 02-05 did not come with them factory without the option. Also the 225 width 45 wall is duplicated with a wider width and a shorter wall. Also the x50 was bigger turbos. The ceramic brakes were a different option. The reason why the glove box locks is because the 01 did not have a glove box so that was the only storage. The key on the left is because the driver could have his hand on the shifter and turn the car on at the same time...

Several years ago, I purchased a 2005 Turbo S Cab. I chose a 996 because it had depreciated so much. I believed at the time that paying $54,000 for a 24,000 mile 996 was market at the time, but represented a very good deal in reality. If the headlights caused the price to decline, I was OK with that and did not find the appearahe prnce objectionable. By the way the original price of my vehicle was $157,000. The car also has leather seats, dash and door panels... I now have just over 28,000 miles. With the price increasing I have considered selling just to capture the higher value.... Oh the car is a Tiptronic.... I also have a 1991 964 cab....

The first time that I seen a Porsche it was a 911 in 1987 and it was parked outside of a building on my paper route. Since that early age of 12 I’ve always thought they’re the nicest of all the 80’s supercars. I don’t like the whale tail or the soft top convertibles but I would never complain about them or let them effect my love of such an awesome machine. That would be like complaining about the lights, lol but to this day if I was ever lucky enough to own a Porsche, I would enjoy every second and egg yolk lights, old roof or whale tail would become invisible or perhaps I’d love them now I got them. The 911 Porsche has always felt so feminine, the curves, the backend, the headlights and the closer I get the more nervous I am.

Hey Mike, love the review. I have a 996 turbo cab that I picked up 3 years ago and love it. I totally agree that the interior does not match the looks and quality of the exterior. My next project is a complete reupholster of the interior. I'm looking at getting a set of Recaro's and putting pepita seat inserts as well as pepita inserts on the door panel. Then I'll redo the rest of the interior leather in black with white alternating stitching. I plan to cover all the plastic in leather, right down to the fuse box panel cover. Then a black with white speckled berber carpet. I'd like to remove the centre console and put in PCCM+ single din head unit and move the climate controls up top but I don't think the single din unit can be used in the 996. If you're in the Toronto area you come the PTN meets and cruises! Would love to have more 996 TT's join. Look forward to more content!!!

Lovely car. Like v much. I PREFER the 996 gen 2 headlights to those on any other model. I missed the 911/Boxster snobbery or the air to water cooled irk. Mind is a 2004 40th anniversary edition, so only 345bhp, narrow body, but low mileage and beautiful condition. I’ve updated it with PSSM+, PSE and of course new tyres all round. I really adore the combination pointed out here, that it’s modern enough to use it for any purpose but analogue enough to feel strongly classic. The internet was so recent and mobile internet almost edgy back then, that it’s not loaded with digital tech. I have recently begun to regard too much digital, always connected tech as surveillance and remote control potential. Call me paranoid. They really are after us 😮 Noted typical 996 scratch on centre of C pillar, where a rear wiper malfunctioned at some point. Once this is pointed out, you see it often. 26 min.

Dude, liked the content of the video like others have presented except you appear quite hung up on the turbo bias. My base Carrera went up 30% in 2 years and if you look at the data a C4S is climbing even more, do not state what is factually incorrect. The rest of the video was great and enjoyable:) Cheers

Appreciate it! The whole car biz have shot up through covid! So crazy! I paid 42k for this Turbo a few months before this video and similar stuff is selling for mid 70’s. No idea what’s going on.

Back then I just drew them out, send dimensions and used a broker, took 3 months to get. They should be easier to get today then 2 years ago

The 996 is not the first twin turbo, that would be the 993

I have had problems with it myself. I use my thumbs to secure it down after I let the latch click.

Boxster. Pound for pound better than the 911. Too bad Porsche only gave its best to the halo cars. CGT, GT1, 918 all mid engine. Love 911s but fundamentally inferior layout. 996 my favorite. It has the most character.
