Hearing someone say it belonged to an old lady, I remember once more than 10 years ago passing a GT3 Porche in a bright color, think it was green, complete with big wing and a roll cage, doing 80 or maybe 90 in a 100 zone on the Antwerp ringway. When I passed it (doing 100 in my old Diesel Focus), I noticed a posh but very amiable old lady behind the wheel, barely looking over the steering wheel. It was quite a nice contrast and a view I never forgot. :D
6:45 are you talking about this? I think he was describing the car as an "older gal" per se rather than a brand new 991.2 or 992 or whatever, this car is over over 20 years olds
The production on these videos is crazy! And man, that was a quick reaction to save the car. Things break, but you’re quick action probably saved more than people think. Great video.
The production is crazy? I enjoy his videos, but that's despite the low production values. Do you watch any other successful automotive youtubers? Or you're just kissing ass?
Indeed a good save and good reflexes, Mischa, also to dart behind the orange barrier when the engine temperature light came on. 👍 I had a similar experience on a tight highway (without the emergency lane) when a valve on one of my rear tires failed and the tire lost all air suddenly. Luckily I was right by a short SOS lane that was probably 100 meters long and I managed to pull in there and stop. The next SOS lane was at least a kilometer away.
I love listening to the manthey team. You can tell they are just oozing passion for these cars and for the ring. When i had my own M2C into raeder I got phenomenal service from the sales and servicing team. This helps us 'regular' customers who aren't spending €100ks on a full MR package feel appreciated
Not gonna lie tho, the recovery lap was amazing 10/10 Jokes aside, I think this would have been terrifying. You acted very quickly and safely. I'm glad in the end nothing bad happened! Stay safe
One of the most captivating videos, thoroughly enjoyed it. Congrats also to the owner on the quality of English he speaks, amazing how you can spot a really intelligent person from how they employ a language. Oh yes, the car is pure love too. :)
This exact thing happened to me in my 996.1 C2. Power steering went, then the battery light went on, then water temps started skyrocketing. Old car problems. Really gotta do your maintenance on these cars if you are going to drive 20 plus year old cars hard.
I was driving to work one day and the shaft to my water pump broke off my Cayman, sounded like a grenade behind my back! Same thing though; installed new water pump/belt and back on the road within a day!
This really should be a lesson in keeping an eye on your gauges. The combination of battery the warning light and the voltage dropping from 14 to 12 should be an immediate indicator that something is up with the accessory belt. On these engines, both the M96/0x and M96/7x, that belt does alternator, power steering, and most importantly, the water pump.
Had this on my car, water pump bearing went out and power steering went straight away. Knew straight away my battery/powersteering and water went down as the belt snapped from the bearing but limped the car for 30 seconds into a spot and got it towed. Feel like someone that doesnt know much about cars might try limp it home and blow their engine doing that but a cheap water pump and a new belt later my car is fine and still going on
Well done misha! Great drills on the emergency procedures for staying cool and getting everything back in one piece. Without a calm head it could have been a lot worse.
Thing I took away is that these beasts can be fixed up by professionals in a reasonably short amount of time, granted it is by MR mechanics at the ring. Beautiful car
Good quick thinking there Misha 👍 owner sounded like he was buzzing getting to see what the car can do, Hopefully he went out to get a lap in himself 👌
Misha great video! I think the 996 is the most underrated and unappreciated 911s ever. I am hoping you can find one and make it a project car for the channel! That would be a cool journey to take with you!
I own a 996 6 speed cabriolet. It has been supercharged and has a large intercooler in the front end... it also has an Ohlins racing suspension. The IMS problem was taken care of early on.Very cool car with great handling.
Very impressive save Misha, what I’m amazed by is not only your ability to get to the shoulder quickly, but the presence of mind to reverse behind the barrier too. I am also very very impressed with the German engineering in that 996 GT3. As you were about to turn the car off I saw the coolant gauge, the needle was on 120degrees and the light was illuminated yet the engine is fine, very impressive. I once got my 2001 Audi C5 S6 to around 105degrees before I could get to a shoulder and pull off. I immediately was worried I warped the heads, maybe I’m too cautious. Either way, amazing save.👏🏼
Speaking of pulleys - on a car that is not used much in heavy traffic, it's a good idea to switch to an underdrive pulley, that spins the alternator, water pump, and steering servo slower, maintaining the longevity of these parts. Porsche might have engineered the components so that they can endure track use, but most manufacturers dont.
Makes a change from that glued Mezger coolant pipe undoing itself and spraying coolant over the rear wheels! Personally, I like the 997.1 GT3 - last hydraulic steering GT3 mezger cars, higher revs and better looking than 996 inside and out. Everyone is different though!
Thank You to "Roger" for taking part and allowing Misha to drive your beautiful car! What a selling point for Manthey and a great reason to own a Porsche! I can only hope that he let's you drive it again with him. Makes me wish I could afford to ship my car there and have you drive me around the Ring Misha! I'm very jealous of Europeans now. Hearing the emotions of "Roger" the Owner as he got to experience the Ring and his car being taken to the limits is just a dream for many of us here in the US. Thank You Misha!
This driver/owner has a great car here. My 1999 911 (996.1) was purchased from an owner that was going trade it in but wanted to give a new owner a chance to own it for below low book trade value that his dealer was giving him. I gave him a low bid on Ebay at a midnight auction. 10 minutes later I owned it. I DIY just finished replacing all of the rear-end components that were just getting old. Water pump. Thermostat, all hoses, overflow bottle and secondary air pump. Finally a new serpentine belt. My car broke down exactly as this one in your video. Great example of how you dealt with this very same problem. Thanks for your video.
Very quick repair. And good to have this issue found and fixed while the car was so close to Manthey. Would have been a much longer wait to get it fixed if owner had suffered this at home.
And in this case, just only for my personal curiosity, how much does it cost to be pulled out the track because of and engine failure without doing any damage around the track?
@@mgcharoudin also when its not a Porsche only track day, can you use your own car aswell or is it only a specific set of cars provided by the organizer?
The last of the feeling of old vs new imo ended when they went form hydraulic driven power steering for electric power steering. Something about that change is what really changed the feel of everything. Now Porsche is the best in the game at EPS, but something about the steering feel with EPS is just off compared to hydraulic, not that we have a choice anymore. With that being said I think you'd enjoy a 997 as well in terms of "feel" as they are similar in weight with hydraulic power steering.
Very entertaining lap, with your bulletproof humor. One question : what haven't you tested on the Nürburgring yet? √ all the cars √ hitting a rail √ riding at the back of the recovery truck
I agree with the owners conclusions about emotional automobiles, driver aids worth avoiding and the logic behind not aspiring to track perfection, but rather end user experience.
HAHA Misha! Mantey should now that if you change to single flywheel on 996 GT3 you need to change the screw to another lenght!! This is not a common knowledge if you are an expert. I got the same issue on my GT3... different lenght on double mass vs. single mass flywheel! Nice drive by the way and a good lecture!!
Very proffesional reaction when things happens with the car.. sais how good you really are with cars.. nice video for learning about how to avoid biggar dissasters on engine.. Thank you for sharing..
Tbh good save, good reaction..but what I find even more astonishing was the driver behind you. Not overtaking you because he seemed to have realized, that you were having problems and decided to stay behind until you pulled off.
Nice way to show wat people should do, in stead of walking out and look for what is wrong in the middle of the track, in 2009 there was a guy with a cayenne after a corner doing just that, than you think about the song, please be gentle with this heart of mine, best content on and off the ring, bless you
100% agree with the owner, "If we are not doing it competitively, that is what we are here for... maximization of the emotion while driving" I probably butchered the quote but I love his words after 16:19
I guess its a good thing that the power steering pump runs from the pulley (contrary to an eps), otherwise you might not notice the issues right away and by the time you do, the engine already cooks without cooling.
Same thing happened to us once on the highway, only I was in a ancient Dodge SUV nothing as cool as your vehicle! Same first indication, steering got stiff as the power steering pump failed then we saw the engine temp increasing so quickly pulled over. The belt tensioner had sheered off. Spent the night in a sketchy part of Miami before the parts store opened the next day then fixed it and drove home!
@@lukeeboy149 see a lot of engines on a daily bases that probably had way more abuse as this one and are older. Never seen a snapped pulley. Bolts loose, yes, snapped,no😁
My first thought was an accessory seizing/breaking (like water pump or power steering pump bearings) and belt falling off. This is why I like gear driven water pumps (edit: and timing belt/chain water pumps)
@@TheTechnoaddict yup, interesting how this snaps a pulley at only 30k km. Probably been driven harder than the normal dailys people are running around in well into the 200k and 300k kilometres. Is there really that much of a wear difference when driving hard?
@@onelyone6976 no there is not. And it's not like he was smashing the pedal after every shift. He was driving pretty smooth. Could be a bad part out of the factory.
I once ripped my timing belt on the autobahn (on a diesel). The first thing I noticed was the power steering being gone, too. I didn't know what's going on so I instantly got hot (almost sweaty) and into wtf-state ^^ I managed to roll out onto a motorway station and got towed. How did you feel when you noticed something is wrong?
I'm sure this has been asked before, but is it possible to film a POV lap using a VR180 camera set-up? Would be popular in VR, especially with experiencing all the different cars, 'cos you 'feel' the bumps in and the engine is right there in your headphones. I'm sure logistically it would be a nightmare, and expensive haha. But FUN!
Hi MiSHA.. That was a good decision to pull off the track as quick as possible. Thankfully it didn't happen at full speed going thru tight twists & bends on the track. It could have ended ALOT worse for you & the cars owner! This is kind of similar what happened awhile back. I remember when you took another "classic" Porsche out for a spin on th'Ring and the brakes failed on you ! I am rather curious tho... why the Crank pulley snapped off ?? At a rough guess: were the bolts that fasten the Crank pulley "over" tightened? Too much torque wrenching on them that it caused metal fatigue, hence under stress they snapped off while driving ?? Anyway good that it ended Ok Love ya work bro👍🙂👍 Godbless & ava Gday 🙂
The water pump pulley snapped clean off my water pump in my cayman s and I lost all power steering immediately. It scared the shii out of me. Never heard of that happening with any other car.
Good video Misha, good you are showing 996 gt3 but this is an mk2, please try an mk1 as those were done at Porsche motorsport back then and not "normal" Porsche Production chain... Trust me a Manthey tuned mk1; you should really like a lot as it is one of the favorite car of Mr Walther Rhörl himself... please give this car a go, the very first GT3, a new era , (not fantastic headlight design...) but the car was and still remains a fantastic car to drive.
First words out of your mouth getting out of your car, was the first thing in my mind before you did. Heads up all around not dropping fluid on the track, and getting the car to a safe spot between the barriers safe and quickly. This really should be a model of what to do in that situation, not to mention quickly realizing there was a problem and getting the motor off before damaging it further.
The guy look at a Porsche GT3 with a roll cage and call it " a little bit of a sleeper " casually. Like MJ called his Neverland ranch " just a normal little house on the prairie " back then 🤣

Bought one about 2 years ago. I adore that car so much. Every time I am driving it, it‘s giving me a massive smile straight in the face 🙌👌
GT3???
Good to see that nothing too bad happened thanks to your quick reaction and not trying to continue on your own power.

997.1 same thing happened to me but un the tensioner pulley
Same on my 997.1 at Sydney Motorsports Park. Tensioner like lareau6. Same exact thing. No power steering, then battery warning, then temps.
Same. 996gt3
Great job, Mischa! You really are talented..I'm glad to see you back strong
Good save, and so glad it was the pulley and not the crank that broke!

Drove the other day the 996 4 and have to admit it was more fun and interacting than the 997.2
Elder cars are more fun to drive for sure
The reaction was bang on. Glad nothing bad happened. The lap on the recovery truck got me good.

Jeeez, all that gym time paid off! Good, fast reactions!

He was following me, we agreed on a follow lap and I was supposed to take him for a lap next :(
Nice way to show wat people should do, in stead of walking out and look for what is wrong in the middle of the track, in 2009 there was a guy with a cayenne after a corner doing just that, than you think about the song, please be gentle with this heart of mine, best content on and off the ring, bless you

I have the Boxster of that generation. Mine has a very similar engine note at 6000 rpm.
I guess its a good thing that the power steering pump runs from the pulley (contrary to an eps), otherwise you might not notice the issues right away and by the time you do, the engine already cooks without cooling.
Same thing happened to us once on the highway, only I was in a ancient Dodge SUV nothing as cool as your vehicle! Same first indication, steering got stiff as the power steering pump failed then we saw the engine temp increasing so quickly pulled over. The belt tensioner had sheered off. Spent the night in a sketchy part of Miami before the parts store opened the next day then fixed it and drove home!
Misha : the owner want to stay anonymous.
The Speedo : ok !?
glad it was just a crankshaft pulley, and not a "surprise air cooled conversion" ;)
The POV IS THE BEST !!!

Well, I had asked about a lap with a 996, so thanks!
Those high revs sound really good.
I like that you can see Rogers reflection :D
Nice Laps & Save.
Now you can say you where towed at the same spot like Robert with the GR Yaris 🤣
correct!
How the hell does a crank pulley snap🤔 that's a first for me. Good reaction on saving the engine👌
One of many examples
20 years of extreme heat cycles + very high tension = snap
