"A great car is nothing without a great engine and a great engine doesn't exist without a great engineer"🔥🔥🔥🔥✍️

Sorry for the lapse in uploads, I'm currently rebuilding my house from a fire and when I get more time the regular upload schedule will resume. Thanks for all the support over the last 12 months, I wouldn't be able to get through all this without the subs! Much love

Owned an '86 930. Hway On-ramps were like taking off from an aircraft carrier. Lifting mid-turn was suicidal. Gas tank in front so traveling across Texas at 140 mph was scary when the tank was near empty becuase the front end would get very light.

I'm so glad you decided to do Porsche. I love Porsche as a brand and my dream car is the 918.

It really takes me back in the day when my friend’s dad warned him about the limit handling of his air-cooled Targa and had my friend practice in a large empty parking lot. Talk about balling in the 80’s. 😊

The handling issue with the 930 was NOT the boost suddenly coming on mid corner. It was lifting off the throttle mid corner and the weight of the rear engine would cause the tail to swing out. Mid engined cars and rear engined cars do this. If you know how to really drive these cars, you can use this “feature” to steer with the throttle. Go into a tight hairpin, lift off the throttle for a split second, as the tail starts to come around, hit the throttle again to regain traction and direction.
-
The 930s were actually famous for spinning out while letting off the gas or braking through a turn. Not under acceleration. Accelerating through a turn, even when the boost hits, they have incredible grip.

The man, the myth, the legend. Has returned with art as usual

Drove a 87 930 Turbo for a few weeks. It was insanely fun. When the turbo kicked in the force of acceleration pulled you back into your chair. My friend who came for a ride in it compares it to taking off in a jet. A lot of rear engined cars have the pendulum effect when the arse end will overtake the front end if given half a chance. You just drive accordingly.

Had a 73 911T, Guards Red, car was a rocket. Reminded me of my days of go kart racing. First car I broke 125 mph in fully pegged 5th gear and .8Gs too. Front air dam, exhaust. Fuchs Alloys pirellis, built bosch injection. And believe me had 12 chevy muscle cars but that 911 was on rails and pulled hard!

I was ten the first time I saw a 911 Turbo. Between the flares and the Whale Tail, I was in awe. It was an amazing machine. It is still one of the amazing vehicles I have ever seen.

The production of these videos are just beautiful
-
Your videos are getting better man! Love this one can’t wait for you to make more documentaries of the automotive world!

The funny thing with rear engine is when I had my first car which was the 850 cc fiat. While driving it with smooth rear tyres in the rain I used to imagine I was in the turbo porche. I used to absolutely love getting it sideways and it was very controllable. I think porche should have made a special effort to retrain the 911 new owners of the turbo in how to handle it.
-
Another freaking awesome video. Your storytelling, research and presentation are tops. Thanks so much for the videos, I am always looking for your next!!!
-
Absolutely phenomenal work. I have always loved the quality and depth of your videos and once again you have raised the bar. As a 911 Turbo S owner myself, I can’t wait for your next episodes!

I seem to remember Porsche showing up at Watkins Glen with a 2.0 liter turbo in 1969 for the 6hr race. There was a story that a mechanic had installed a wastgate backward which doubled the boost. They remedied the mistake wihout damage to the engine. As the story goes, for a brief time the little 2liter was putting out around 800hp. That's what I heard anyway. I think I was there to cover the 6hr and Can-Am races for a publication and learn the track for my first SCCA National race the following month.

Great video!!! Your free-flowing narration along with great video footage (for reference) made this absolutely wonderful to watch. I'm looking forward to your next segment.😊
