- The Sound of Speed Project 996 Turbo - Part 2: As a follow up to my video about the car, I wanted to take a few minutes to go over some of my feelings on the car and what I love/hate about owning a modified 996tt, Porsche 911 Turbo. Enjoy the acceleration and Borg Warner boost noises as I tear up the canyon!

Another solid vid man! I don’t have the level of mods you do, and mine is not an X50, but it is “crap yo pants” fast..(faster than i’m willing to go). It’s funny how many people think I spent $125k on a car and/or guess that my car is only 5-6 yrs old. It is a supercar that your working class car enthusiast can own and not go into hock over it. shape of the lights doesn’t bother me. PSS9 suspension is awesome, as is the Sachs 2.5 and tune. My Fabspeed exhaust is so sweet as well.
You obviously have BOVs...I’ve been considering upgrading to some. Any issues with them? What brand? Cheers bro.
Thanks Phil! I would love to get some coilovers, I'm sure it transforms the car.
I do have blow off valves, but they're integrated into the compressor cover. Google Borg Warner EFR 7163 turbos and you'll see what I mean. I want to upgrade mine to something a little louder, maybe a Tial or Turbosmart. If you're still running a stock style intake at DVs, don't waste your money on upgrading them. You won't hear them any more and they're more likely to leak. Just replace them with 710N stock style valves and a quality silicone F-pipe. Then upgrade to a Tial or Turbosmart once you get a Mafless setup.
That turbo sound is everything! Makes you feel alive!
It really does... It's a whole sensory experience! Thanks for watching!
Im trying to buy one this weekend and you and I have the same sentiment on pretty much everything about this car - thanks for the perspective!
Hey hey... great minds think alike! Congrats on the potential purchase! Make sure you check out 6speedonline and the various 996tt groups on Facebook. Lots of great information out there. I'm also happy to help answer any questions you may have, or anything else you may need. Thanks for watching and good luck!
great video and explanation, I was looking for a video just like this that talks about the ownership experience and a different perspective than everyone else. the blow off valves sound great
I appreciate the kind words! Let me know if you have any questions, happy to help. And yes, the blow off valves were so amazing.
I once owned a modified 2003 996 by Prototech which had about 625hp. The car was extremely fast and reliable.
Such amazing cars aren't they! And 625hp is just about perfect I think, just the simple mods. Mine rarely broke down, and when it did, it was generally something to do with what I had done more than actual reliability. I would have another as a daily driver anyday, without question. Thanks for watching!
996 turbo is the best performance car for the money right now
@BMWg84 100% couldn't agree more. And so much potential too! Thanks for watching!
I think the 996 turbo is great but I would have to say a C5 z06 and even a C6 z06 is much more bang for the buck and they are much cheaper to mod. With that said, I would still take the 911.
shhhhhhhhhh (has been for like 10 years)
@Erek K - you're correct. But if you're a Porsche enthusiast / german car lover, this is the one. I think the values have actually gone up a tiny bit (or at the lest, leveled out) over the past 5+ years as the general public has started to realize the undervaluation of the 996tts and the fact they have Mezgers. A decent C5 Z06 is what, like 15-20K? C6 probably 30+. Great deals. Cheaper than a 996 for sure.
I'm kinda what would be considered a Porsche purist. That being said I love the Porsche 911s in all their forms..that 996 turbo is a monster and I think they look incredible if you add a 996gt2 front bumper. The 996 GT2 is one of the most beautiful 911s in any generation. Those guys that don't like the newer Porsches well they are missing out. The 997 is the swear spot as far as looks the ,991 GT3s set your hair on fire! 996s are mechanical analog perfection. I've been fortunate in my life to have driven 100s of 911s and it solidified my feelings towards this mark, then again I could be biased as my family comes from swabia oder schwabenland:) . Thank you for the nice video.
+Tr Hof thanks for the kind words! I really love the car and agree about the GT2 bumper. I'd love to get one but they are so EXPENSIVE! I like the exterior of the 997 but actually prefer the interior of the 996. I feel like the 997 interior is trying too hard to be modern and it doesn't come off well. I do want to drive a GT3 of any generation someday, I think that would be probably perfect, but much slower than my turbo at my elevation. Thanks for watching and thanks for being a purist that can appreciate all generations!
I have a 02 996 Porsche 911 turbo and I love it. I'm also running about 700 (crank) on low boost 93 and about 850 on 104. I was running a Carbonetics (I think that was it) triple carbon clutch with a lwfw. Like you said I thought it was great as far as high hp clutchs go but I tired of the marbles in a can sound while idling and the occasional yet inevitable stall as I tried to pull away from a stoplight on a hill. Now I have a Sachs 2.5 and a stock dual mass flywheel and love it. If you want to regain stock like drivability I highly recommend the Sachs 2.5.
I didn't know the 2.5 could handle that much power. That's really good info, thank you.
But most likely, I'll be adding more power down the road so will need to stick with the Tilton. It's really a great clutch overall. The small squeak at engagement and the rattle at idle are more of pet peeves than anything. Overall I really love it. Plus the added benefit of the Tilton hydraulic throw out bearing means clutch disc replacement is super easy, don't even have to remove the transmission!
Thanks for watching!
Great video.
Thanks DDT!
Mate I’m in love 😍
You and me both! LOVE this car
I so relate to the issue of jealous people thinking the car is new, drives me crazy, people are so insecure, greedy and selfish, it's so sad :( Well done on the video, good solid review, I thoroughly enjoyed it, keep em comin.
+Clint Hightower it's so unfortunate and really takes away from the enjoyment of ownership. I don't really drive the car to work anymore for this exact reason, just tired of explaining how it's "an affordable" 911 turbo that's cheaper than a new Honda Accord haha.
Thank you for the kind words! Believe it or not, you were one of the people that inspired me to start doing this. Hope I can get a following like you have eventually.
Definitely agree with the most love/hate relationship POV. Especially the porsche tax on parts! Still love the 996. Headlights and all
+kris casio haha, always good to hear support for the headlights! Thanks for watching!
Loving that blow off sound!
You and me both! I can't get enough of it.
That vehicle sounds incredible. And it also a stick gear. I would have loved to see it outside
+Jonathan James thank you! And thanks for watching! This video has a bunch more exterior shots if you're interested.

great car, I have a manual 996 turbo 2004, staying stock except for the 9excellence map (UK). No hate honest, your clutch won’t last long driving like that though. Are you coasting in neutral then engaging a gear or something?
Yeah, I was trying not to ride deceleration while in gear in 2nd, because I would get occasional pop out. So it kinda changes my driving style quite a bit. Plus I was coasting downhill in parts to keep the engine quite so the video could hear me.
Nice video...I purchased a speed yellow 996tt not long ago too and I'm enjoying every bit of it. May I know what mods you've done to your car so far? I'm interested in getting an exhaust upgrade but I am very worried about idling drone since I get stuck in traffic a lot!
For clutch, I suggest that you look into modding the clutch slave to GT 2. It makes a whole world of difference in terms of clutch feel. For me, the overly assisted clutch was the thing I hated most. I would also recommend an ohlins suspension system.
Thanks for watching Jeremy! Speed yellow is such an awesome color, congratulations!
I've done a ton of mods, pretty much all of the bolt-ons including upgraded turbos. I'm running a Markski tuning 3" x-pipe exhaust. It's loud at wide open but not bad at idle. If you're not concerned with all out power, I'd recommend something with a large center muffler for quietness at idle (Cargraphic, Bbi, Fabspeed and others).
My clutch system is completely different from stock. I'm running a custom billet master cylinder built by SRM specifically for this system. It also has a hydraulic throw out bearing, which completely removes/replaces the stock slave cylinder and all of the assist functionality and plumbing.
I would love to get an Ohlins suspension setup. But I'm guessing my budget will put me in the market for H&R or KW at best. But who knows, I'd certainly love a set of Ohlins!
You said blow off valve, but are you talking about the diverter valve or did you put BOVs
+Ryan Persaud I'm running the EFR 7163 turbos with an integrated bypass valve on the compressor cover. It routes pressurized air from the cover back to the inlet. So essentially it's atmospheric, although in a semi-closed system. I did upgrade to the Turbosmart direct replacement valves that do a 50/50 atmospheric more "blow off" style but changed them back to the stock EFR valves because I didn't like the tone. But really, the valves are loud and sound like a blow off valve, so I normally just use that term. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching! 😁👍
What is your opinion of tubi muffler?
Depends on your goals. I've never heard one in person, but have heard that they drone really badly. I think the tips look good though.
Performance wise, they aren't great. Small piping diameter and single muffler design without an x-pipe. It's a design/style that was popular in the early 2000s when the car came out. I think there are much better systems out there now.
These things are no joke. Was fortunate to ride in a techart car with around 700hp like yours. That was the only time I've felt acceleration so violent that I wanted to throw my food up lol. They pull with ferocity! Tempted to buy one of these as a daily. Any idea what that would be like? I know they are AWD also which would be helpful in winters. The values are pretty stagnant so buying one and driving it would depreciate horribly either.
I daily drove mine in winter for about 18 months, then stopped because I didn't have to anymore, not because I didn't want to. They are great drivers, highly recommend, you won't regret it!
And yes, I think these cars at the 700-800 whp mark are frighteningly perfect. Any more power is pretty much unusable but I still always wanted more haha. But my car was just pure joy at this power level, I miss it so much.
The Sound of Speed Good to hear they a great dailys. They’re starting to get a little pricey but my eyes are hunting for deals always. Sad to hear yours is gone!
@@sgfreak96 yeah, I'm still very sad about it Haha. Best car I've ever owned.
Do you still have it? Anything that changed on opinion?
No, unfortunately I had to sell it in 2019. Still loved the car, would 100% buy it back if I ever got the opportunity. Best car I've ever owned.
Regarding the headlights... Everyone forgets that the GT1 that this was derived from has the same headlights. And that's a Le Mans car.
Very true, I wanted to mention that during the clip but it completely slipped my mind. I love the GT1!
Why do you ride the clutch through turns?
+Jon M couple reasons.
1) my transmission has an issue with popping out of second gear in turns (common in the 996tt) so I keep the clutch in to avoid it. It only happens on decel.
2) when accelerating into a turn, the car has a tendency to understeer badly. Need a bigger rear sway bar and it wouldn't be such an isse.
3) was trying to keep the car quiet in some parts while I was talking
I know its not the best way but I wasn't trying to drive really hard. Just cruising through the turns mostly and then punching it on the straights.
Thanks for watching!
Bizarre, with the exception of a 15 year old enjoying boost bursts, the driving style is odd and can only conclude the drivetrain is not a comfortable drive...for the race track...you need to attack a car like this...Champagne taste on beer money.
I wonder why people would dislike the video....
+DailyDrivenTurbo Haha, I've been wondering the same. Maybe because it's a bit long? Who knows, haha. I try to take the good with the bad. All part of the game.
@@TheSoundofSpeed or maybe we don't know anything or ugly bhahaha all good
@@StreetDrivenDaily haha, very possible!
Good job on the vid! You hit most of the points right on the head. The fact it looks newer than it is, is both a blessing and a curse. Like you said, some people look at you like “how can you afford that thing?!” On the other-hand, I went to Backbay Bistro in Newport Beach which is a very nice restaurant right on the water in the land of nice cars, they parked me right up front where you’d expect to only see the Ferraris, Lambos and Bentleys of the world. One thing for sure, every time I get into mine, it always puts a smile on my face!
+ScottKelly911 haha, that's right... it's all about the smiles! Thanks for watching, I really appreciate the support!
Great vid. Question specific to tuned 996TTs… do you think the DME reports are pointless? I’m looking at one with a relatively high reading despite just 25k miles but it’s been tuned most of its life.
I don't think they're pointless. Excuse my memory, it's been a while but one range is for over 7000 rpm and one is for over 8000 or something to that effect. So for a tuned car, the over 7000 range will be much more frequent than a stock car. The other range is more to catch a money shift, or something like that, which is bad. So I use the report to see how recent each range has happened. A car that's for sale, will probably have a recent range 1. If there is range 2 time, see when the operating hours were at the time, then count back from current. Basically I'm saying if a range 2 happened on the last drive, there may be concerns. But if it happened years ago and the car is still running fine, then it's probably nothing to worry about. Overall, focus on how the car runs. If you're really concerned about the status/condition of the engine, get it boroscoped and have a leak down test done. I will also say, these engines are so damn stout, with 25k miles, there's really not much to worry about.
Best of luck! Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm happy to help!
@@TheSoundofSpeed appreciate the feedback! Small correction, range 1 is typically hit on a bone stock car coming up to the rev limiter (official range is 6,750-7,250rpms) whereas the range 2 indicates 7,250+).
I’ve done a ton of research and sounds like tuned examples can and will hit the range 2 with regular spirited driving. That said, still not something you love to see!
The particular car I’m after has seen over 80 hours of drive time since the last overrev, which puts my mind at ease. Will definitely keep you posted with other questions though!
@@hatemsgarage ah, thank you for the clarification! Do you know which tune is on the car? From my experience, most tuners are not going to set the rev limiter above 7100-7200 at most. So I would say it's very unlikely that the tune would allow the car to surpass 7250, unless the specific tune is custom or something and/or the owner requested the limiter to be set at 7300 or higher. All of that being said, my car with the ProEFI, I had the limiter set at 7300, or maybe 7350 and would no-lift shift all the time, banging on that limiter, and I never had an issue. I know of some people that go even higher on the stock top end, but I've also heard about valves floating around 7500. But again, with 25k miles, that car is pretty minty fresh. I wouldn't be overly concerned. Let me know how it goes!
@@TheSoundofSpeed hey man! I ended up passed on the prior car I mentioned. Sure enough, another one has surfaced with a VERY well sorted build by one of the best in the US.
It has forged internals and making about the same power as your car, 730awhp.
Did you feel as though the car would be reliable at that level for the long term? Definitely want something I can enjoy and not deal with CRAZY maintenance all the time. There are only 8k street miles on the build and 28k miles on the car, so it’s pretty fresh.
Appreciate the insight!
@@hatemsgarage it really depends. First of all, forged internals is a huge start. Just rods/pistons? Does it have bigger head studs as well? Which fuel is it using to make that kind of power? Stock DME or a stand-alone?
Any transmission upgrades? Around that power, depending on the torque, 3rd gear might start to get angry and could break on a good 2-3 shift at high power and with good traction.
Overall, I think 700-800 whp and torque is the sweet spot for this chassis. Still has street manners at that level, and not really pushing the engine/drivetrain super hard. I do think my car was on borrowed time at 700 whp, due to the stock engine. All it would take is a bad tank of E85 or some boost creep at peak torque to bend the rods. That's why I liked having such dynamic boost control, because most of the time driving around, I was set at 600 hp and it was plenty. But I could switch to 700+ kill mode if I really wanted, but tried not to do that often. But if this engine is built, you're pretty much set. I'd drive that setup until the wheels fall off. It should be good to go enjoy for miles and miles depending on what I asked above.
Oh, who did the build? And what kind of turbos?
Another in a bunch of YT videos wherein the the owner of a tuned or boosted Porsche drives straight down a highway and has nothing -nada- to say about the handling. But there are comments about noise, ride stiffness, and public reception. And orgasmic sounds with acceleration. Maybe I’ve got it wrong but I thought these cars were all about the corners. And the noise ! And the stiffness! Why do we deploy criteria here better suited for a Buick?
+Douglas Butler fair point. The car handles well for a normal car but compared to newer McLarens etc, they're really not that great. I think the power and acceleration has aged well, but the handling has been far out engineered. I will say though, my car is on 100% stock suspension. Once I upgrade the suspension, I would be more than happy to talk about handling. But I think the biggest reason turbo owners don't talk about handling is because the Porsche GT cars (GT3 and GT2/3 RS) have that market locked down. My car will probably never handle like a GT3 and I'm ok with that, I just don't focus on it in my videos. In reality, turbos are pretty big and heavy. More suited to big power highway pulls than intricate canyon carving. My car understeers badly and refuses to rotate, even under power... so I don't focus on those drawbacks as much. But... you do give me an idea. I should do a review of handling, maybe before and after suspension work. When I post it, most likely in Spring, I will be sure to reply back here and see what you think. Thanks for the genuine feedback, and I hope you continue watching!
The Sound of Speed Yeah, your comment is exactly the kind of information I was looking for - interesting! Thanks!
@@Maltaman51 glad to help haha. I'll do some handling stuff next... promise. But I really do appreciate the input, it helps me think of more videos etc.
Interesting perspective, I think your opinion on the car might change a bit when it comes to handling when you take it out to a track day.
The USA version on the car is 1” higher than the rest of the world 911’s. At 125 mph it floats.
That being said the bang for the buck is amazing.
Agree. It certainly has it's faults.
But, if I were to get the suspension worked out and get some quality wheels/tires it would be pretty unstoppable for a street car.
Thanks for watching!
What year is your car??
It's a 2003
Sick video dude. The car sounds amazing. But to be real at about 75k for your car plus mods I would guess, along with being able to do some of the work yourself saving probably 10k in labour, you're in a boat most people aren't and will never be in. People catch feels because your whips saucy thas all.
Sorry for the late reply, but yes good point. It is certainly not a cheap package. And thanks, the sound was always my favorite part of this car, that and the insane push of 700 ft lbs of torque. It is a saucey whip... haha, I like that. Thanks for watching!!!
The headlights are not exclusive to the turbo. 996.1 had fried egg lights. Headlights you have are the 996.2 update for the whole 911 line.
+Wade Spendlove good point, very true
Wade, you’re totally right. That being said, trying to explain the difference between the 996.1, 996.2 and Turbo headlights to a non-Porsche person gets old. It’s hard enough to explain to them that a 996 Generation 911 means watercooled and different headlights lol I swear I spend like 20 minutes just describing that whole scenario. Don’t even get me started on how the 993’s Carbon Fiber interior bits (first generation that CF trim pieces were available from the factory) were of good quality and the 997 Carbon Fiber trim pieces were good quality. However the vendor that Porsche used for the CF bits in the 996’s trim pieces really dropped the ball! Our CF pieces were made with hardener’s that either cured too quickly or too slowly. Because they become brittle and crack easily with age not to mention they also yellow. 993’s and 997’s CF pieces have held up much better over time.
Can you please do more videos
I would absolutely love to, but sadly I sold the car so I'm having trouble coming up with content. But I'm hoping someday I can make a triumphant return to CZcams. Thanks for watching though!
My bmw developed a rattly flywheel. Turned out the dual mass flywheel needed to be replaced.
Yup, I had it on my Audi S4 as well. Pretty common problem sadly. And an expensive fix.
Sadly, it's hard to find someone to resurface the flywheel because it's dual mass. No Choice to convert to single mass
You can also purchase a new dual mass
I watched the whole video but the audio was so bad haha I stopped watching a quarter way through and came back to it the next day because i wanted to hear what you hated about it.
Yeah, one of my biggest regrets with this video. I was using a friends old GoPro before I got my own. Appreciate your tenacity in getting through it eventually! Haha
@@TheSoundofSpeed yeah, me too... i wanted to log in just to tell you that I HATE that the audio is so bad... but to be honest, I found myself watching the whole video just to hear the engine...! lol... Maybe re-do it to include some subtitles - - - love it, either way.
@@kurtnospam9605 sadly I sold the car, so can't replicate. I do have other videos with more sound if you're interested. Guess I need to watch this video again, I don't remember the audio being THAT bad haha. But I do remember that the little GoPro Hero 5 was very overwhelmed with the noise, so it probably is terrible. I appreciate the feedback and thank you as well for pushing through and finishing the video!
evry issue you have with the car is based on what others think of your car. screw them. its a beautiful thing the 996 turbo and worthy of admiration. as for porsche parts cost you own a pcar its expensive. always has been always will be
Haha, I like your perspective. Don't worry, I enjoy the hell out of the car!
Unless this car was a factory X50, it definitely wasn't $159k brand new. I'm not sure if an X50 could even make it that high.
It's a factory aero kit, factory X50 car with sport seats with crests and the largest aluminum interior trim package available.
Nice trifecta of options. What happened to the factory aerokit lip, though?
@@TheQuickest I'm not sure. I'm guessing it met the same fate that all 996tt lips do. I actually didn't realize it wasn't an aero kit lip for the first year of owning the car. Strange that the prior owner decided to paint match a non-aero lip instead of painting a replacement aero lip.
Mine was 147 with factory aerokit and partial carbon fiber upgrade. The OEM aerokit parts, wing, deck, and front spoiler are a fortune now...and you still have to paint them. In 5 years an original OEM kit will be close to 10K.
The Sound of Speed I thought the front aerokit lip was crucial to the cars handling when it sports an aerokit wing at the rear?
Aww, I hate that my sports car has a stiff suspension. Smh.
Haha, it's not so much that the suspension is stiff (e.g. from high spring rates and shock dampening) but more that after 16 years and almost 70k miles, the rubber bushings are broken down to pretty much nothing. Yes it's a sportscar suspension, and I enjoy that, what I dislike is how it takes bumps due to the deterioration of the rubber bushings. Really it could use an entire suspension overhaul.
But really, it's not the end of the world, which is why I haven't shelled out the cash to fix it. And when you enjoy a car this much, it's difficult to find aspects of the car to hate/dislike. Thanks for watching!
Please please please learn how to rev-match downshift?! Beautiful car, great conversation/talking points/information but please work on your manual trans driving skills, just simple basic stuff.
Yes, unfortunately was focusing on the video/audio/dialogue more than driving how I normally would.
I promise I actually know how to drive! 😁👍
Any chance of just making a driving video without commentary? Better yet with the cam facing out the windshield? Although I recommend not using a POV head cam if you do, I have some friends that can't watch those videos because of motion sickness.
@@TheQuickest yes, I'm planning to do a video with only exhaust and engine noises. GoPros mounted in the car and on the bumper. Just need to figure out how to keep my mouth shut and let the car do the talking haha. Thanks for watching!
not to mention that it's hard to appreciate the roads and safety constraints that he's facing....
700 hp?
Correct, 731 all wheel hp
@@TheSoundofSpeed What did you do to it?
@@N911GT2 a whole bunch of stuff. There's another video on my channel that highlights the build.
Get a Europipe, your exhaust drone is pretty bad. Bilstein shocks will solve your handling issues.
+Charlie the drone isn't normally that bad, at least it doesn't seem like it to me. I think the GoPro really picked it up. But regardless, I'm probably going to switch to a Unobtainium Welding exhaust with helmholtz tubes to control drone. I've thought about doing Bilstein B8s with some lowering springs. But also thinking a full coilover setup might be better in the long run. Too many decisions haha
Thanks for watching!
@@TheSoundofSpeed Lol sounds good on your choices. I have Europipe Stage 2s and love them, but they may not make them anymore. From what I understand its all about the Cat technology in the exhaust system. The Bilsteins are great, it lowered the car a tad and the handling is great. I don't track my car so GT3 level handling isn't necessary for me so Bilsteins may not be what you are looking for. I like the softer city ride since 95% of my driving is normal driving. BTW I have the PSS10s with coilovers, smooth street drive
@@rallynavigator4940 I think you're right. I don't think they make them anymore, so I would have to find used. You're running PSS10s? Those are what I want, I've heard great things. I thought you were just talking about just getting Bilstein shocks, not coilovers like the PSS10s. Sounds like you have an awesome streetable setup!
@@TheSoundofSpeed Yes I have the PSS10s, they are great. You won't be disappointed and they are also very nice on the street too. I rally race in Australia, the last car was a 2015 GT3. It handled better but it has all the swanky electronic suspension control stuff....and it's not as comfortable a street drive of course. I am sold on the Bilsteins for street use, and they will hold their own on the track too.
@@rallynavigator4940 hard to argue with that kind of recommendation! Hopefully come springtime I will be adding wheels and suspension. Very excited, I'm sure it will help immensely!
ARE YOU IN 'IT' ? OR ICT ?
Neither. Risk Management.
Even stock turbo with exhaust and tune. Plenty of power for the street. I had Evo 8 RS. With huge turbo, roll cage, build motor pushing only 530 and it was plenty of power for me, played very safe. 996tt still supraise me with power, and it's a 6cyl not 4 where 4 cyl always screams
Very true. Sometimes I wonder why I didn't just stop messing with this thing at that point. Tune and exhaust on an X50 car is just perfect. The extra power now is great, but E85 and all the other stuff just makes it more complicated.
@@TheSoundofSpeed yep. E85 it self. I really would like to swap the turbos and lines with check valves , maybe intercoolers. Not gonna go maffles. Just little extra kick
@@StreetDrivenDaily if your check valves aren't failing, I wouldn't mess with them. Total pain to do. Unless you're doing a turbo upgrade at the same time, then it's worth it 😈
@@TheSoundofSpeed yep. That's what waiting for lol. Turbo swap with new lines. For now the car runs fine.
screw people who "wonder" how you can afford such a nice car. life is way too short - change jobs/company or blow by them with the confidence that comes from being smart/intelligent.....
Thank you... honestly. That's a great and refreshing way to look at it. Most people don't agree with that kind of approach but it's so true, life is way too short to worry about those kinds of people. I just wish they would say it to my face so I could tell them off, instead of me hearing about people saying stuff 3rd person. Oh well... thanks again!
WHAT ?
Yes?
get off that clutch
+solo2racer it's a triple plate clutch, its very difficult to drive without slipping
I'm talking about when your coasting everywhere .
@@solo2racer ah, I see what you mean now. Yeah, not sure what happened. For some reason once I started trying to talk and drive at the same time, I completely forgot how to drive haha. It's like a walking and chewing gum kinda thing I think. Will work on it the next time I do a video like this.👍
@@TheSoundofSpeed good video by the way, it's hard to get in front of a camera and talk so good job
@@solo2racer thanks! I really appreciate you saying that... so true, much harder than I ever expected. But, I'm learning... albeit slowly and trying to get more comfortable so I can put myself out there more!
I love how when people spend $500 on liquor in clubs every week and eat out every day and spend money on stuff that they don't need. They wonder why someone else got $100k car. They don't know that he never went to clubs or wasted money and not eating out every day.
Exactly! I may have driven a 911 turbo, but I was very thrifty in every other aspect of my life. E.g. wearing sunglasses that I got for free in this video Haha. Also doing your own car work makes these so much more affordable. I never went to the dealership and paid $300 for an oil change, I did it in my garage for $60. Not to mention all the other repairs and maintenance I did. But no one ever thinks about that stuff. So frustrating but I learned to live with it haha. Thanks for watching!
@@TheSoundofSpeed yeah man I'm same way. Try to spend money wisely. I have 2005 911 c2 and Porsche boxster before that. Doing all my maintenance myself. I want 911 turbo but bought house last year. So now gotta be even more wise with money. I work as mechanic for NY transit. My co worker always ask how did u afford Porsche 911. I be like I don't have any other hobbies other than cars. So I save my money for car👍. Saving is big thing in life. More people need to do that.
AWFUL CARS- 996 BUILD QUALITY IS SHITE
What is wrong with the build quality? I have no such issues.
great car, I have a manual 996 turbo 2004, staying stock except for the 9excellence map (UK). No hate honest, your clutch won’t last long driving like that though. Are you coasting in neutral then engaging a gear or something?
That and just general issues with driving a car, thinking and talking on video. It basically made me forget how to drive haha.
