It's our best seller and for those of you who don't want to row your own gears, you have the record-breaking dual pdk. clutch gearbox still a wonderful choice Porsche ditched the first 911 back in 1964 and rigged it with an air-cooled rear engine behind the rear axle. What were they thinking and yet somehow that platform lasted over 50 years and spawned hundreds of limited editions? editions and of course a couple of rsr race cars that took the crown, it even paved the way for the turbo which is just manic and that puppy took home the trophy at Le Mans in 1979.

This car is truly the granddaddy of gravel grip G-force. I think I dented the hood a little and I think most of us know today that the 911 is still a great buy because enthusiasts appreciate its pedigree, precision, driver commitment, reliability and not to mention its incredible value, everyone knows that . when you buy a

porsche

you expect it to meet the highest possible standards and they really are very high and i am the first to admit that everyone has their own perception of a

porsche

owner in a european midlife crisis mobile, but i think those People who judge just don't really know what it's like to be in one of these stylish speedsters and the value for money they offer; most of the luxury class simply cannot touch this in almost every iteration of the Porsche 911 in the last decade it has appreciated significantly and that bubble is not going to burst anytime soon and if you want to learn how to buy a Porsche as a professional, check out the ideal car strategies and for a long time Porsche was releasing air cooled 911s from 1964 to 1998 and you got the originals, the 911e, the 911l, the s and t models, and these are all ideal cars that the own I would absolutely keep Brad Danger in my stable and of course people love these old 911s because of their age. and history, but when it comes to driving dynamics, they're not that impressive.

Yeah, they're probably pretty good for their age. I would still say that a well-tuned Ferrari like the 365 would eat the Porsche's lunch and if I can take you. Guys, let's go back to 1973, that brought the Carrera RS one of my favorite cars of all time and the RS represents something extremely special, Rensport, and that means racing sport in the oh-so-scary German language, and that RS was built with a larger 2.7 liter engine. over the standard race and put in place quick bits like mechanical fuel injection, bigger brakes, wider wheels and tires, those huge, wide rear hips and of course that race-essential stiff suspension and then just A couple of years later, in 1975, we were first introduced to the Widow Maker. the 930 turbo and with this model Porsche jumped on the turbocharger trend and the 911 said goodbye to the naturally aspirated engine and this update gave the 930 an impressive 260 horsepower that was driven through its manual transmission. four speed, yes, it's still pretty old.

I know like old school, but like old school, cool because this thing had the rear wing known as a whale tail and then when we fast forward to 1989 when the 964 came out, it was the most futuristic modern facelift of the 911. that Porsche had. In my opinion, this design has never been done. In my opinion, it has aged like a fine wine and still looks impressive even today, but did you know that just 10 years ago it was the least sought after air-cooled model and that you could pick these things up all day? I long for the stupid 20 year old airplanes and now you're not even touching one for at least double or triple that price and I think that's what the 996 911s are going to do in the next two years, but we'll get to that in just a minute because the 964 not only looked good but had a beast under the hood, a 3.6-liter air-cooled boxer engine and then in 1990, its big brother would join the lineup, the turbo, which is one of the toughest air engines. cooled 911s ever built and helped solidify that the 964 is one of the most popular generations of 911s of all time and year after year they continue to impress me with how much they continue to appreciate it, but the 964 didn't end with that turbo, oh no they I also had the rs and rs america models and these equally slick whips are worth six figures today, yeah nothing to sleep on and I have a feeling they will continue to be appreciated because only 701 rs americas were shipped to the US. floor and finding an rs america which is one of my ideal cars especially one that is somewhat affordable its as easy as finding the lucky charm guy at the end of the rainbow yeah its not going to happen but that's not It means that I should stop looking good because these things just look sick now that the 964 would eventually give birth to its predecessor, the 993 in 1994.

And love it or hate it, it's a beautiful baby and it's even more modern looking and as beautiful as the 964. and when many people think of an air-cooled Porsche, they think of the 993 and that is probably the reason why this model is fetching huge sums of money nowadays and almost all Porsche enthusiasts They are respected on this planet and, of course, they came out with a turbo. I don't know if I would buy the 964rs america or the 993 turbo. If you want to see how I'm absolutely smashing one, check out this ideal video here. Oh, I love that car and those 993 turbos cost a hundred grand more. all day long and even the least loved Bass Carrera model in the ugliest color combination you can imagine still sells for at least 50k in good condition and then Porsche did something drastic: they made the jump from air cooled to water cooled after the 993. and it was partly because they had exhausted all the performance they could get from an air-cooled and they were also fighting bankruptcy and they had to mass produce the Porsche 911 and desperate times call for desperate measures and they built the 996.

That's the ugly, forgotten grandson that no one wants to hear about in the Porsche family. Porsche is an engineering company. First, you know, Porsha Design, they make clothes, they make furniture, hell, they even make architecture and Porsche is competitive, so they don't want to. They fell behind their competitors and the water-cooled engine was necessary to keep up with those shameless Ferrari craftsmen and this water-cooled Flat 6 really changed how much they could push their new boxer engine and what they gained in performance which sort of gave them was missing. In terms of noise and character, naturally water-cooled engines don't sound as harsh as air-cooled ones, but Porsche was really doing something extreme with the 996 and that's why I love it so much, because they didn't just push the envelope. and get angry. a lot of enthusiasts with the water-cooled engine, but they also did something really interesting with its design.

I think it goes without saying that this is one of the best rear ends on any Porsche. It's so iconic, so classic and how we come. Around those big, wide hips and that 911 silhouette until you get to oh, come on, Porsha, what were you thinking? Let's talk about these headlights, yes, Porsche with the 996 is known for those ugly duckling headlights and on the 996.1 they may or may not look like egg yolks and this is a 996.2 with improved headlights and I want to say that I am learning to love, but how can they see here, there's that circle that's been around since 1964 and then they added this, which is actually a throwback to the porsche gt1 racing car, so yes, these are racing car lights, but that's not the only place that Porsche was wrong.

Let's take a look inside. This interior is a little uncomfortable, it hasn't aged very well and looks a bit. a bit like a 90s taurus, yeah I mean it's not horrible but it's not really their best effort or maybe it was, some of the design language on the interior and exterior draws a bit of ridicule from the from the Porsche purists, but as a result These haven't really started to be appreciated until recently and that's why I bought one and I like it and like I said before, my dad always told me that you can learn to love and I'm actually learning to love the 996. ...and if you're someone who's trying to get the deal right, there's no better deal than a 996 911 and it's easily the most affordable way to get into one of the greatest sports cars of all time because you don't make no mistake at all, how this Porsche drives.

A Porsche sounds like a Porsche because it's a Porsche 911 and the best part is that they are actually pretty easy to keep in your pocket and there are a lot of things you can do yourself, except it was plagued by one thing. It's called ims rms lol it's a pretty big problem and this car really had the problem. Yes, that's why it now has a 4 liter engine. It should have a 3.6 liter, which I'm not complaining about at all. The car is too much. It's fun to drive now, but it cost around 25k for a new engine, so if I could give you one piece of advice when

buying

the 996 it's if the problem hasn't been fixed, fix it right away, don't screw it up. straight to the repair shop and get it done, but don't be put off by this gene because although this repair is a matter of life and death, it won't cost you an arm and a leg to do it and once it's been taken care of, you'll enjoy it. of a lot of happiness behind the wheel of the 911 and the 996 will be as reliable as any other generation 911, which is actually this is the third and it is really reliable, and no one can have too many Porsches. 911 because well, I also have a 997 911 in the stable and although it may only be two years newer than this 04 c4s 996, it drives like it's 20 years newer, it's a much more modern version of the 911 Carrera and not misunderstand me.

This car is amazing, but it drives much more like a G-body or air-cooled car, and the 997 is really the last of the analog cars, but it feels much more contemporary inside and out. Look, you have the 997 generation that goes back to those. oval headlights and then you got the generation 991 and the brand new 992 and each of these generations of this incredible car can lay down the hammer on the race track and keep that all-consuming smile on your face as you drive to work. The 911 is one of the purest driving experiences ever and right now there is very little variation between an air-cooled Minty version and a modern version, and remember earlier I was talking about how Porsche would come out with turbo cars like the 1975 or the 993.

In 2017, they decided to turbocharge literally everything with the 991.2 and yes, they completely eliminated that naturally aspirated boxer six and with that the performance metrics increased significantly, but it came at a cost to that mechanical sonata that those flat six had normal. disappeared and was replaced by something like this, yes it's a kind of gruff, muffled growl that maybe reminds you of a subaru, I guess throw one out for the long lost purr, but the 992 came out in 2020 and yes it is An impressive feat of technology and engineering, there's no doubt about it, but I feel like each new generation has lost a bit of that passion over the years.

You see, the Porsche 911 is special for a variety of reasons and, being a YouTube channel host, I should probably drive something like that. a mark iv supra or one of those subaru stis, but no, i drive a porsche 911 and there's a very good reason for that, not only is it an amazing driving car that can go in a straight line regardless of the humble horsepower numbers of strength, but it is also one of the most capable canyon carvers and will break records on most technical tracks around the world, and that's even as standard, plus it's one of the only cars of this caliber that doesn't It will destroy your wallet in maintenance and I don't know how they do it. becauseThese are pretty mass produced cars, but they don't really suffer from the depreciation curve.

If you're looking to buy a Porsche 911 right now, there are a virtually unlimited number of them on the market at almost every price. If you're looking to spend 20 grand or less, you're looking at a 996,911, which isn't a bad view, but if you're looking for a more beachfront property and your budget is a little less restricted, you can also enter something that's a little More track-focused like the 996 GT3, which is easily the most affordable of the GT3s today and remains a track-scorching monster whose value will only continue to rise. Really the only risk here with the 996 is that you'll have some sheer mockery of you and tell you that your headlights are ugly or you know your interior looks like a 90's Taurus, which aren't bad, at least with the interior, but don't listen to them. those guys because it's still a legit 911.

And for those of you looking for a 911 that's a good investment, look no further than the 993 or 964. Of course, the more you can afford, the better, but the Turbo and RS models are easily the most sought after right now. The clean turbo variant is probably the most recession-proof, but if last year is any indication about Porsche pricing, they are pretty much all pandemic-proof and yes, especially for the 991 and 992, they are still depreciating quite a bit , but they are absolutely bulletproof on a daily basis. drivers and a lightly used modern Carrera s or 4 would be a great pickup for a certified pre-owned vehicle and if you are looking to enjoy long term ownership you are looking to buy a sports car for about a decade I really can't suggest a better car than a Porsche 911 from 1964 to 2021.

They are the criteria by which all other manufacturers are judged and I think we all know that comparable cars have major problems that have a serious effect on the long term longevity of the car. but not the 911, these bad boys are easier to own than a fidget spinner, especially if you are fidget, no seriously, they are low maintenance, they look amazing and every generation, for some reason, the values ​​keep increasing over time, believe it or not. Years ago, European banks were legitimately recommending their clients invest in a classic Porsche 911 to protect their liquid cash, and hey, I'm not a financial analyst, I'm a car enthusiast like you, but if banks tell people If you invest in a super-fun, super-stylish German sports car, you'd probably at least give it some consideration, right?
