I got lucky with my '89 3.2. As said sometimes the car finds you and that's what happened in my case. It was well used so I'm restoring it and for something to drive, that's just what I wanted.
Be careful of the DME fuel pump relay under the driver’s seat. Mine failed at 60,000+/- miles. The Taiwan replacement (Puro? Uro?) lasted only 18 months on average, and each replacement shut the engine suddenly without warning. Absolutely dangerous while cruising the highways. I then paid full retail and waited months for a genuine Porsche DME relay, no shutoffs since, and I always keep a spare genuine Porsche DME relay and a 10 MM wrench in the glove compartment. Reply if you need a quick description on how to change it out. Happy motoring! 👍
Video and content is brilliant, but the music is truly insufferable. Doesn't match the subject matter at all.
Sorry about that. Having watched it again, I tend to agree. I’m still learning so please stay with me. The next one will be better.
So great Jay. The level of details is brilliant as always and love the archival footage!
Thanks mate.
I dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Braxton Shawn Instablaster ;)
@Benedict Uriah i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Benedict Uriah it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account :D
"Next level" production value, narration is excellent, content / information, spot on... Best of luck with the channel, your doing great!!!
That’s very nice of you, Richard. Thanks! More to come!
1975 until 1976 3.0 Carrera. Rare and yet underrated but has the same performance as the 1984 - 1989 Gs with 3,2 Liters.
Much agree. They’re really good looking too.
Excellent content, beautiful optics as well.
Thank you!
Porsche 911 seems a lot like a design for a race car with its low engine seated in the wrong side of the car when you consider its handling capabilities. It is truly a wonder how it got marketed to regular people who would have no idea about low center of gravity. A race car is what it actually is!
Haha! Agreed!
What about the 3.1?
Ah you might be right.
My advice is if you are on a budget, get a non turbo. You probably can’t afford turbo Porsche maintenance.
I bought new, in 1976, a Signature Edition 911. The car came in platinum and had F. Porsche engraved on the steering wheel by a soldering iron(?). The car cost just over $11,000, if I recall properly. Unfortunately the car was stolen from me while stationed in Germany in 1978. One piece of trivia, in top gear at 7,000 rpm, (redline was 7,500 rpm, but couldn’t pull the last 500 rpm in top gear) the car did exactly 134 mph on the autobahn.
Thanks for the video and your efforts.
Hey thanks a lot! Both for the feedback and the excellent story!
Hi, being a German 991.1 Carrera S owner and searching for a nice air cooled model, I really appreciated your overview and all the numbers and facts. Especially for someone who is a little bit more into 911 in general this and the other videos are great to watch. Thank's for your effort!! It seems that there are more Porsche enthusiasts in the US / UK than in the motherland of the brand.
Thank you for watching, Stefan! I am truly happy that you enjoyed it!

Hi Jay how many 1985 turbolooks were made are these more desirable then the turbo models
Great video! I’m sorry to say your whale tail picture isn’t quite right, as the 930 whale tail had split grills, with part of it matching slope of the roof, and a smaller one more aft and flat. The one you showed is a similar one from a special edition or aero kit, but not from a turbo (though admittedly it shares a similar whale tail rubber component from the turbo version. Still a great video, though!
Oh well. Some you win!
Great video,. Important to note that on the 3.2 many Porsche purists prefer the earlier 915 transmission.
Interesting. I hadn’t heard that actually! I wonder why?
It’s because the 915 is all in-house Porsche designed and made, unlike the G50. Also, the 915 has a more mechanical old-school feel with no assistance. The G50, albeit great too, was Porsche’s first attempt at making things “easier” for the driver. Modern 911s have taken that philosophy to new heights, of course.
@@aaronmunro5818 ah! Purists are really ridiculous, aren’t they?! lol!
78 and younger is a large diff over 74-77...
“Lots of these cars became friends with the worlds shrubberies” Yes sir 🤦♂️😫😂
Trailing throttle oversteer...
add Porsche to that in a web search, it gives a 911 example.
Would love to get a G model
I acquired a 1978 Targa. It was my childhood dream car, and I am really enjoying the restoration process.
Oooh! How are you getting on?
@@JAYREAD The motor and paint is done, now I’m saving up for the interior. It runs like a champ!
@@brothajamessd1670 NICE!
I have had the same model since 2001. Wonderful car. Enjoy!
Allways wanted an older 911 but the running costs are too high. Therefore I buy new Porsches and some of them I sold with a profit.
That’s also a wonderful way to do it, Hans! It’s all about the passion! ❤️
In 22 years, my 930 has only tried to kill me 3 times. (That's only once every ~7 years; same as bad luck for smashing a mirror 😉)
Hahahaha!
Perfect footage. I love your videos. Your content is absolutely high quality and highly detailed. Greetings from Colombia!
HOLA! Muchas gracias!
I had a sc about 89, kept it for 8 years ,wish I still had it now
Same with me and my 72 2002tii
This doesn’t answer the question in the title
Great video but the music in the background sort of ruins it I can barely focus on The content
Oh I’m really sorry about that. I’ll try to bear that in mind for future videos! Thank you for watching!
Jay you have become my #1 source for Porsche information. Thanks again!
That’s very nice of you. Thank you for watching!
great video Jay, as a 1980 Weissach owner I'm always looking for great info on the G series.
Thanks Joe!
I’ve got one, too! Nice to meet another, digitally or otherwise. 🙂
Great show but bad choice in music
The story of my life.
Ffs get of of the fing music. Why just why
What?
At these current prices I think avoiding a 911 and buying something like a 912 may be the better option.
Ha! Or keeping your money and waiting! Stay tuned. I’ve got thoughts coming on this next Friday.
Unfortunately, the question raised in the video's title is never answered.
The aim of the video is to inform you so that you can make the decision for yourself. It’s always subjective. There can be no objective winner, only opinions.
@@JAYREAD I thought perhaps certain years would be recommended due to improvement's in performance, handling, reliability, etc. So I'm just saying that the title of your video suggests that it might be explained and come to a conclusion, you know a lot more about the subject than many, so I would like your opinion rather than a general overview.
@@eldeluxo Fair comment! However, it’s still too hard to pick a winner, I’m afraid. They’re all so good and so similar!
Would be a better video without the music.
Just recently found this series of videos. Do you plan on doing videos about 911s before the G model (63-73)?
Yes! One day!
Very nice documentary. Unfortunately it doesn’t speak out about which one is most fun to drive or which one is the best one to buy
Hey Frank! The aim is to educate on you on which one is best for you. I don’t think there is a best one per se but only what is best for the individual. HTH!
77 Carrera 3.0
Great job - the prices are though the roof - late G's 3.2 are sky high
Thank you! I wonder if the bubble will pop soon?
It’s no bubble….just a reflection on the relative scarcity of good cars and the demand for them from all age groups
Great video, but the 930 "widowmaker" got it's name not from surprise turbo lag kicking in, but rather the effects of easing off the throttle in a turn if the rear end started to get loose, a common occurrence in these rear engine cars. . The act of letting up on the throttle, a natural reaction to the rear end sliding out, would then cause a weight shift and a sudden oversteer that often ended badly.
It’s both. Lifting off or unexpected power will get you to the same place: the scene of the accident. www.speedhunters.com/2019/03/original-widowmaker/
So if the rear end started to break away what would you do? I had a Porsche 964 and when the rear end started to slide, I'd gently let off the throttle and the rear end would come right back.
It is two sides of the same coin. The engine in the back is what gives them so much grip under throttle but it is the same feature that gives bad lift-off over steer. These cars are amazing to drive, so pure, but they need to be treated with respect, turbo and non-turbo. Losing the rear under power can be controlled with some opposite lock. Losing the rear though lift-off over steer cannot be controlled. I sell new cars for a living but nothing makes me smile like my SC driven fast and smooth. Great video. The chart is excellent, thank you Jay!
I think camber thrust of negative camber is also a culprit. I wonder why cars aren't setup with positive camber and negatuve camber compensation under roll. That way you wouldn't have oversteer if either front corner caught immediate traction, the car would straighten under slip. People say understeer is dangerous, I say racers feel that way, not regular drivers.
Awesome video as always!
Great video. However only a minor mention of the Targa model and no prices? How do prices compare with the corresponding coupe and cabriolet?
A Targa or Cabriolet model would never be a serious consideration of mine!!! Nor would a Tiptronic or PDK version!
I have a 1980 911 SC TARGA and have owned for 30 years. Unless you are going to strip a coupe out for a race track the Targa is the most enjoyable time behind the wheel you can get.
@AEFisch Agree. owned an early '66 S Coupe and '71 E Coupe, both fun. But our current '76 S and '82 SC Targas are more fun! I used to shy away from Targas until I owned one. To each his own I guess.
1986 930 turbo
Yeaaaah!
@@JAYREAD i wanted to complete it with the WLS cause that’s what i have drove once. It had a single sided exhaust by the way the quad version came with the later models 88-89. It had 330hp and had a set of wide Ruf speedline wheels, full euro specs as it happend here in Europe.
Sooooooo nice! My favorite Porsche ever. Not kidding. Did you watch the video I did of the 930? You are a lucky man.
@@JAYREAD Not yet but i will do it for sure. I definitely feels my self lucky to had the opportunity to drive a rare example of the 930 turbo model. It’s even had the rare color option “meteor grey”. I saw Paul Walker’s Guards red 930 turbo is for sale. It’s in Germany-Berlin and the asking price is 175k Euro.
Great Video
Thanks Toby! Glad you liked it!
Great video 👍
Thank you!
Awesome video.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
That was riveting
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@JAYREAD I did and I was on auto tempest contemplating selling my Cayman and buying a 911 SC.
@@ThatCaymanGuy hahahaha! Watch my video of the ‘74 911 orange car. That’ll finish you off!
The 911 is the poor man's 928. Sorry - I gotta call balls and strikes. the 928 was European "Car" of the Year 1979. No other sports car including the 911 has ever won "Car" of the year. The 928 has won 2 production car land speed record at Bonneville (1986 and 2020) - the 911 has exactly won none. Even 911 enthusiast Magnus Walker has started his 928 collection - its Now or Never for the 928 still the biggest Bang for the Buck in classic Porsches. Singer/RWB/RUF could easily reimagine 928s - its just a matter of time before someone specializes in customizing and outlawing 928s - There is no substitute.
Love it! I want one!
Tell us you could never get one without saying it.
