    Welcome to the 1,000HP Protomotive Porsche 911 Turbo! After flying down to Arkansas, we found a few of these iconic German sports cars in the place you'd least expect to find them. Protomotive has been tuning Porsches since 1984, and with that comes a long list of notable builds that are driving worldwide, still to this day. Everything from remote tuning to complete 1250+ HP engine builds and everything in between. This has got to be some of the most fun I've ever had behind the wheel of a sports car. Enjoy!

      Roads Untraveled Yes sir!! Hey, i agree with Arkansas having some unbelievable driving roads. You should Google "The pig tail". It is one of the best roads in the US. Some even say that it's better than "The dragon tail". I have personally driven on it, and it is amazing!

      @Michael_00001 Před 5 lety

      lol.. until you sit inside it. The layout is silly and the the buttons are just too "Radio Shack" to me. It's the step-child in-between the old classic style and the new style. I would take a 993 or 997 before I would ever consider a 996. Thankfully I don't have to because I own a 997.2 which in my opinion is not only the sweet spot before Porsche made the 991 too long and wide (read: boring) but it is heading towards future classic. A 996 will never be a future classic.

When I finish medical school, I hope start my own health and wellness youtube channel, and to buy a blacked out 996 for cheap and make it like the 911 Turbo I saw in this video. The detail of how the shop did it's work was super cool. Keep up the good work and keep creating great content that makes your channel better and better!

    Really unpopular opinion: The 996 is my favorite 911 from Porsche. It was the first 911 i really noticed when i was a kid, playing NFS Hort Pursuit 2. Since then it always had an place in my heart and i think when u modify it right, its one of the best looking ones. Also its relatively cheap compared to the others, because many people dont like it. So u get much more for youre money then with other 911s.

      That's what a boost controller is for! Best of both worlds. 600whp in a manual 911 is totally useable on the street, but still brutal enough to want to kill you if you don't respect it ;)

    • @DeathOrGloryRacingBC
      @DeathOrGloryRacingBC Před 6 lety +2

      True, I'm sure the owner doesn't roll around at max boost. It's also better to have that overhead in the engine build especially with boosted engines. Nowadays you can also tune boost by gear or use dbw/timing/boost control based traction control too. I just don't even want to know the cost of the extra parts to bring 600 up to 1000. Glad to see you constantly progressing on another note. Keep it up.

    Stuff like this you just can't script. Couple in the Arkansas backwoods have a top shelf performance lab that builds some of the nastiest Porsche motors around, and does all of the design and machining in-house. Someone get the Anime deal in the works. Also, it reminds me of maybe the best NSX tech in Tennessee: 'Used to work out of a literal barn. You'd go to a small town outside Nashville, turn off the highway, go over the river, through the woods, turn a corner and there would be half a dozen NSXs and ITRs lined up next to the split rail fence.

      Thank you :) One of my favorites, too. Would never have gone to Arkansas otherwise. Would love to go back.
