987 Boxster S - Blue Ridge NY || The Dragon of the Adirondacks
First and foremost, I apologize for the substandard video quality. I rushed this trip and had some technical difficulties.
This road is one of my favorites. Both times I've driven it, I've not had a car in front of me for the 15 minute duration. It's surreal covering that amount of ground and not encountering any other cars, and it's not like I'm out here at 4Am. This is only the 2nd part of the video as the 1st leg of the road is rather boring to watch since it's just fast sweepers and cruising (still a pleasure to drive). The second part the road tightens up and it just twists through the forest endlessly. Considering how remote the road is, the surface is quite good and it has predictable sightlines as well.
Tracklist:

987 Boxster S - Thrashing the windiest road in Upstate NY
มุมมอง 8212 หลายเดือนก่อน
My apologies on the lack of quality with this one. I took a weekend trip up to the Adirondacks, and an approaching weather front caused me to rush my departure. As a result I was missing things from my normal setup. In any case this is Tracy Rd, which connects NY 9 to Witherbee heading from I-87. I don't think it's my favorite road because many of the corners feel repetitive, but it definitely ...

Alright weirdos, you asked for it. I wasn't able to setup the camera as a "foot camera", so instead you get the chicken leg camera! Admittedly this stretch of road isn't the busiest in terms of footwork (that honor would certainly go to forest home rd), but hopefully you get the idea. The pedal spacing and weights on the boxster are perfect for heel & toe because the car has a weakly assisted b...
987 Boxster S - Mohawk Trail Flat Out on Labor Day

I took a big gamble this past labor day weekend. With the nicest weather we've had all summer, I had a real calling to get a good drive in. I spent the night at a sketchy motel so I could be sure to hit the roads really early, and even then I was still worried this was a bad idea. Thankfully I had Mohawk all to myself, and I decided to go for it. I've definitely gone harder in the 1st section b...

Most of my videos I drive with the valves open (because why wouldn't you), however some viewers have requested to hear what the system is like with the valves closed. With the valves closed it's almost identical to stock, maybe 10% louder but with better tone. The factory exhaust really makes it sound like a sewing machine. On the boxster, even with the roof up, there is zero drone. I also swit...

Nice drive. What is the phone mount you are using?
@EasyBailer I think it's a rennline mount
@@Poorschedriver thanks
still underrated in 2024 😍😍😍🥵
I have a Cayman S and it makes amazing Stuttgart sounds. This video sounds good but you really need to drive it to see how great these are.
is that stock exhaust?

We need a new motoring show in the UK! How are you fixed? We could call it 3rd Gear!! 😂

@@Poorschedriver 🤣🤣
Nice footwork. Do you do any exercise to improve your foot flexibility ? Do you think big feet can do this ? (13US)
@VincentFerrer Thanks! It is possible for larger feet, but the technique is different. Rather than rotating the ankle to get the heel on the gas, you'll just roll your foot to catch the gas pedal with the side of your foot. Shows make a difference as well. Larger sneakers usually mean you need to just roll your foot, whereas a proper driving show allows you to get your heel on the pedal. In the end, it doesn't matter what you do so long as you're having fun.
Soon the early Boxsters, 986 and 987 will rocket in price and everyone will be after them, as happened with the 911 before it became very collectable. There seems to be growing interest on TH-cam in these cars.
@holidaymoviecompany Yes, it appears the hairdresser stigma is finally waining. The car is 80% of a 911 at less than half the cost, and the engine is in the right spot!
Stupid question. I have the 3.4 Porsche engine and yes it sounds fantastic.
This can’t be stock haha what exhaust have you got?

Camera mount?

I really think the term "flat out" doesn't apply here . Great video. Thank you for sharing this.
@davidg.9446 I can assure you, the camera doesn't do it justice. It's the limit of my ability and comfort level on the street. Anything further would just be reckless.
Yes I understand. I make videos out in the country doing speeds between 80 and 135 and the camera does it no justice. You simply have to be in a car to see and feel those rides . I not insulting your abilities or your comfort level. I'm just stating that "flat out" is an exaggerated term used to get viewers and that is not even close to being flat out . That's why I only watched a quarter of the video. I'm just tired of the amount of deception these days that's all. Have a great weekend.

987.1? I'm looking to buy one this is serving as persuasion. Hard to commit to a 20 year old car but if they drive like this...
@nhutpham3556 age is irrelevant. Condition and maintenance are all that matter. I've driven plenty of modern sports cars / supercars, and while they may be faster, they don't offer the analog experience of a modified boxster. They're great cars so long as you take care of them.
@@Poorschedriver I'm getting a 987.1 this week, might look at some of those mods! Short shift let and sportster CS might be up first...
Loving the flat six soundtrack. Might be making a fall trip to NY this fall! We need a guide service and I think you might know a guy!
@trueview3127 hit me up! I'd only be too happy to make a cameo on true view!
Hi Buddy. I am always fond of your videos, and I am always here when a new one is uploaded. I want to buy myself a 987 Boxster S also, but I am a bit afraid of Bore Scoring. From which year is your porsche model ? Did you have any issues with it yet ? And how many miles did you put onto it ? Thanks in advance for your answers. Greetings from France !
Bonjor! Merci beaucoup. (that's the only French I know LOL). The car is a 2006, so it has the 3.2L engine. 2006 was the only year that the cars had the large row IMS bearing, and also the 3.2L engine. From what I can tell the 3.2L engine does not bore score, and if it does it's extremely rare compared to the 3.4L. I've had the car for 9 years. I bought it with 28k miles and it had 3 owners. It currently has 67K miles and I drive the hell out of it. I maintain it meticulously myself and it's actually quite easy to work on. The only issues I had was the door lever inside the door broke. I also had a bad tie rod end. That's it. I have done preventative maintenance such as rebuilding the convertible top transmissions, changing the water pump & belt, ETC. If you take care of these cars they take care of you. Hope this helps. Au revoir!
Whooooo 😍😍😍👌
Does it drone qith the valves closed
@@TannerKnapp-z7i nope!
The rawness of the exhaust note is somehow also smooth at the same time! The sound track, sky, and perfect road are the perfect complement to the car and driver. I need to reserve a run down this beauty for late September / early October!
Sounds like a well rehearsed string quartet
Sweet drive. 😌
Love your vids. What are you using to connect your phone audio?
@jm4037 I use a go pro hero 7 with an Olympus lav mic. Unfortunately, I lost my polarizing filter, and without it, the dashboard reflects onto the windshield so badly that you can't see anything. My redneck solution was to cannibalize a pair of cheap sunglasses at Walmart and tape the lens to the front of the go pro, lol. For some reason, my mic was picking up extra wind noise as well. Either way, I'll be upgrading my setup soon.
@@Poorschedriver I think he meant - how did you connect your phone to your car :)
@VliengWieng oh! Umm, my phone is mounted on a magnetic mount and it's just a charger no aux in.. I think I got it from rennsport?
always nice to get new content from ya man. cheers
@@UncleHunzi thank you!
Middle of nowhere, 25 MPH??!!
Awesome, just got a 981 Boxster GTS. Does the coded GT3 steering calibration make a noticeable change in steering feel?
Yes, the feeling is night and day. It's still a far cry from my 987, but there's far more feedback.
@@Poorschedriver Does it weighten up the steering rack and make it sharper on center?
@thomasz3192 it's hard to describe. It moves around a lot more than before and doesn't feel as heavy. Granted, it's still heavier than a 718 spyder I drove, but it's much more enjoyable. I haven't heard of anyone preferring the factory calibration.
Agreed, I have the same steering cal and it's brilliant. UK based. 981 cayman gts. Costs peanuts
How have these held up ? Cats still good, any CEL’s throughout ownership?
Year and a half and so far so good. I did have to run defoulers but since that no CEL.
Any CEL with those headers?
I have same system and they come with 45 degree O2 sensor spacers. 4 months hard driving, no cel
Sounds amazing - thanks for the video!

So cool - that thing sounds fantastic! Love that music over 8K rpm - just magical. Well done - there was a lot coming at you all at once with that experience!

I have the 2004 Boxster S 3.2 with a sports exhaust on. When I start my car up on the factory car park all heads turn. And when I come up the hill in our village the sound bounces off the buildings. Beautiful cars to drive and to see. 👍👍
Upstate NY really is gorgeous.
Technically this video is Massachusetts, but I do have some footage from the Adirondacks.

Mohawk trail in Massachusetts. It's fine, but there are certainly better roads to drive in America
Any drone with this setup?

None, same setup. I bought based on this vid 😊

Do the Top Gear headers sound just as good as the Soul or fabspeed ones? On video it seems like the other two brands sound a bit more "GT3" then the Top Gear one. What is your experience? Are they worth the 1000-2000 euro extra?
The difference is usually down to having cats or not. I had a lot of seats time in a GT4 that had soul catless headers. It's definitely louder and more racy. However, that car had a fabspeed exhaust, and while it turned heads, usually it turned the wrong heads. IMO, the best compromise is sport headers with cats and the factory PSE. The car is basically stock for long drives, which is nice, and then you hit the button, and it's very pronounced. It just depends on how wild you want to go and what you can live with.
@@Poorschedriver thanks for your constructive response. But say, PSE is the base in both scenarios. Does it matter to go for the Top Speed catless header or the Fabspeed/Soul catless headers? Because the price difference is significant.
@wout-janwaslander2555 IMO having handled both products you're paying for the name. The construction looked identical to my eye. Ivd had the headers foe over a year and 5000 miles and my bocater has a tip gear exhaust that Is 5 years old and only had a vacuum solenoid fail, a $50 fix. They have great products.
@Poorschedriver awesome thanks! Most important for me is, the sound is different on YT. I think the fabspeed sounds more GT3 like, but I don't know how that is in real life.
Wish I didn't have to sell my boxer to buy my 911 cabrio both are awesome cars and amazingly similar
My 981 Spyder sounds soo great with the top down. That’s the best sound, a drop top.
do these headers have cats or is it Decat?
nice, what's the exhaust set up?
