1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Touring: Driving an Icon | One-Mile Review

[@jonwarshawsky5288]

Stunning car, especially the soundtrack. I think you’re driving CA 74 (?) The mountain roads here are magic, especially in classic sports cars. I’ve had my 964 up there - the older, compact 911s are a vivid experience, even at the speed limit.

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Yes, highway 74 in Palm Desert.

[@M_IkeLeBlanc]

Definitely a “bucket list” drive opportunity! 👍

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

It really is!

[@alpiosattroon3193]

Karl so cool to see your car go through the paces

[@Juror_Number_Eight]

Great video! One of my favorite parts of driving my 1973 911E was looking down the hood as it ate up the pavement. Although I have a couple of modern Porsches with much, much more horsepower than that car, videos like this make me nostalgic. I realize that you are driving it in warm weather, so I'll forgive you for not subtracting a Road Trip point or two for the almost worthless output produced by the heat exchangers.

Excellent One-Mile drive review, Manny! Miles must be longer out in CA. LOL!! Keep up the GREAT work!

[@daverph]

Great video! Thanks for sharing the awesome history! I hope it's at Rennsport!

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Thanks! We hope it will be too.

[@Phil99six]

Great review of an absolute icon! It’s the first time I’ve seen Manny look nervous 🤣

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

😁

[@carrerados]

Any time I get to drive a car worth more than my house, I get nervous 😊

[@jimc793]

Looks like CA 74 out of Palm Springs on the way to Mountain Center. Nice job Manny and you definitely got lucky with the traffic.

[@ianhardin1148]

Absolutely a stunning iconic ride! Fantastic car, fantastic color!

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

We agree!

[@L3001USPSA]

Beautiful 20 mile review!

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Glad you liked it!

[@carrerados]

I forgot to reset the odometer when I pulled away and any air cooled 911 owner knows that you never reset while in motion, so, I had to guess my mileage when I hit a mile 😊

[@jeffryrosen3438]

Fantastic car, it must have been hard to give it back.

[@wolfgangelliott-w2v]

Nice drive Manny!

[@steveshea8827]

@ 9:17 it looks like you almost caught first gear. That might have been expensive on a downhill run. Heh heh

[@RichardStrahota]

Owner was lucky to get his car back… it seemed like Manny was going to keep driving, forever! Nice review… RS

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

😂 thanks for watching

[@MrJearley6]

Thank you for this video your subscriber on the West Coast Los Angeles. Don’t get mad at me, but I would give this thing a 10 on car show 10 on daily driver 10 on find factor 10 on road trip. 😂😂 well thank you for this video and I won’t be able to make it up north this year but one of these years I would like to meet you guys because I really enjoy all your videos.🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Thanks for the sub! Sounds like a Carrera RS would be your perfect car.

[@walkerskii]

Please, how do I reset the trip distance counter on my 1996 993?

[@auto_stable]

Is this Bahama yellow or Signal yellow? Can’t quite tell. Great video

[@TornadoOfSouls777]

Driving my Dream!❤️❤️❤️

[@donnewton415]

MANNY! You're famous! Who knew? When you coming to the west coast? Need to lash up, buddy.

[@carrerados]

Will be back next week for Werks Reunion in Monterey.

[@donnewton415]

@@carrerados Darn! You're going to be ~ 500 miles north of me. I have 12 more visits with the radiology oncologist and can't leave San Diego. Next time?

[@donnewton415]

One more thing: If you run into John Rickard (owns Black Forest repair here), say hello for me. I don't get out much just now.

To many old ladies in PalmDesert that shouldn't be driving it would scare me to drive that rs down there.

[@Laguna2013]

did you really stop driving after one mile :) really?

[@carrerados]

Would you have stopped after one mile if you had the keys to a real 73 RS? 😂

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

The route was about 8.5 miles round trip :)

[@RonaldRohdeLaw]

3:56 is that the owner? looking glum
