Trying Not to Die in PORSCHE 964 RS on WET Nürburgring!

One of the most special cars I've driven is a 964 "RS" built by Neil. light weight 964 chassis, running 300+ hp from a 3.8 and lots of 993 drivetrain and chassis parts. This was such an emotional and demanding drive. No assists, slippery in wet Michelin Cup 2 semi slicks and trying to adjust the the rawness and classic driver position was very demanding. Luckily, Neil enjoyed the experience enough to come back the following day in dry conditions, but that is a story for another time :)
Thank you / neil964 for the lap!

Now who wants to see a "dialed in", dry lap?

[@stoneeh]

Only (at least) 1,17 million of us ;)

[@TheOriginalDaveJ]

Well Misha, If it's the same car and you're happy to show us, I'm happy to watch 😊

[@weeeeee374]

To say this left me wanting more is an understatement

[@idesignyou...9257]

Would love to! What a gorgeous 964 RS!!

[@mohnnadmercedes8246]

How brave to drive someone else hugely expensive rare car in this conditions 😥 Respect for both of you

[@CarholicBG]

IT's not just bravery - it's experience! ;)

[@stagger87]

So good to see more 'classic' Porsche's, Especially the 964 RS 😍

[@rideepicdriveepic]

omg that sound.....THAT SOUND!!!

[@lupo5184]

I can’t recall a moment ever seeing you any more angry/frustrated than at the start of the lap, realising this hot date would definitely be spoiled. I feel your pain! Here’s an honest hug!

[@Fitness195]

This is one of the best sounding cars.. damn…

[@Cazie1872]

MASSIVE respect for your dedication, everyday I don't think, will there be a video today? I know they be a video so thanks for keeping me and us on loop lol 🙏🏻😊

[@964tractorboy]

A spectacular car with a spectacular soundtrack. I'd take that over a modern GT motor any day, given the choice.

[@Belfastboy420]

Never done a lap at the ring but with the amount off you're videos I watch I know the corners lol. Much love ❤

[@omCi]

I just got me a GT7 and a sim setup. From all the tracks I had the least problems with Nr due to watching hundreds of these and learning the track as well as the lines. Thank you Misha.

[@kealke]

That sound, love it

[@SonicProvocateur]

When he said that it revs like a motorcycle engine, thats exactly how I describe my NA 2.7 Porsche. What great machines!

[@911PV]

Neil, you looked to be fairly chilled throughout despite the rain! 😆

[@nbl993]

😂

[@DannyRhym3z]

sounds infinately better than today's modern porsche's

[@TranceFur]

Porsche’s modern NA engines sound amazing, lol.

[@DannyRhym3z]

@@TranceFur I wish

[@fartloudYT]

modern porsches are essentially attempts at engineering perfection. i think older ones were wilder and required more experienced drivers.

[@pederfallbom]

​@@fartloudYTNo doubt about that!

[@TheAlanFish]

The complete removal of the sound deadening makes for a much more present engine sound. It would be a bit too much for daily use. That said, the difference between the sound of an air-cooled flat 6 and a water-cooled one is quite striking. The jacket of coolant surrounding the cylinders in a water-cooled car is a very effective sound insulator, so you hear far less of the sound of the engine itself, and more of the accessory, intake, and exhaust noises. This sound difference is actually what killed the air-cooled engines, as they could not get them to pass sound standards anymore. A modern GT3 sounds amazing as well, but a lot of that is simply because they rev to 9K. They sound rather pedestrian at 3K RPM for example.

[@PC-iv5so]

120mph in the wet on cold tires is still pretty admirable..

[@energymc22]

What a great free revving engine... Reminds me of a Maclaren F1... Gotta nail those up shifts rapidly otherwise you're forever lurching forward!

[@katzicael]

what a wonderful sounding Porsche! such a Raw mechanical sound.

[@AlphaDrivers]

Let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this Porsche! Epic

[@franzhuber7361]

How quick the revs fall during shifting shocked me a bit.

[@TranceFur]

It must have a very light flywheel. They’re not always the easiest to work with.

[@xXxH8TERxXx]

it always surprises me how small these older are compared to the newer ones but unmistakable a 👌🏻

[@pederfallbom]

The new ones are way too big and heavy

[@Nikelaos_Khristianos]

They’re surprisingly roomy on the inside, tbh. For sure, they are small cars (by today anyway) but they have HUGE personalities. Especially from the 993 and back.

[@andrej_sefcik]

Every porsche lap is a must see :Dd even in the rain, misha in any porsche is a legendary combination.

[@Nikelaos_Khristianos]

My mother had a Targa of this generation of Porsche. The engine sounds in this video are the most pure nostalgia for me. 🤌

[@jonorourke4857]

Beautifully controlled in terrible conditions. Lovely to watch this.

[@Blazs120gl]

The Toruk Makto of the 911s. You can't imagine a more noble fight between man and machine, the reward being the machinist and the machine becoming one.

Man 964 is amazing. Maybe cause im an 80s kid. But man its beautiful and sounds great

[@johnwallace520]

What a lovely engine and the bobbing front end on old 911's seems to be relatively well controlled. Would love to see a proper dry lap.

I don't know how much rain you get normally where you are . Where I live we get so much rain that we just pretty much ignore it and go about our business . I haven't done any crazy driving in quite some time . But I'm from The far northern part of Canada . And I've done a hundred and forty kilometers an hour in the snow before .

Isn't nurburgring closed during winter?

[@AI-Records24]

Known back in the day as the widow maker, can’t wait to see dry lap of this DROP IT NOWWWWW MISHA😂

[@stoneeh]

Always love the classics, and the engine is of course a legend. I think though, educated guess, that the handling could be improved. I don't think there's much wrong with the base (chassis), but over the whole lap, it just didn't seem very confidence inspiring. Suspension seems stiff and non-compliant - especially visible in the Caroussel, where it just seems in pain. Maybe have a look at the PSS10's ride height and settings? Or maybe the suspension rubbers need replacing? Or maybe I got it wrong and it's just the cold tires in the wet. Looking forward to the dry lap!

[@mgcharoudin]

I was not really comfortable in these conditions. But you'll see how good the car is in the dry lap🔥

[@stoneeh]

If I was that Porsche's clutch, I wouldn't be very happy. Misha even though I really appreciate your driving skills, when it comes to sketchy manual boxes, let's say, there is room for improvement. Thanks a lot for the amazing content!

Im so glad its an interesting car and not another BMW.

[@ChopStickZero]

Dont see the point of these... whats fun is comparing different car's speeds at different sections/corners, the way they handle, overheat possibly etc... But in the rain,its all more or less same, everything is about one thing. These are more value as instructional wet videos with commenting on tyres, difference 4wd,2wd-f/r, (awd?), weight , etc... Aside from that every video is trying to keep it on the track, no any actual valuable evaluations, seeing it on the limit (not counting slipping off)...

[@AI-Records24]

I get your point but he can’t control the weather😂rather see a wet lap than no lap at all just for watching someone drive the ring tbh

[@ChopStickZero]

@@AI-Records24 well i guess thats true, better than nothing i suppose ...

[@TML34]

"revs like a bike engine". I think a tad optimistic with this statement. 🤣Plus, it only revs to 6k, so not really a bike engine.

[@vvevvevvvv]

I mean, Harley or any big air-cooled V twin rev to about 6 grand. Maybe even 5500rpm.
