I have owned 8 Porsches including 2 Boxsters and 3 911's These cars come alive after 100 MPH. It's a joy to drive the old air cooled 911's and they are like a fine jewel to work on.
Today I did 217 km/h (on gps) in my 1980 sc with 375.000km on it. There was still an extra 10-15km/h left I think. Will try again when it’s less crowded.
pov man lebt dort und läuft jeden morgen über den Parkplatz zum Bus. Wunderschönes Auto. Mein Traum ist es mir einen 1983 911 sc zu kaufn wenn ich groß bin. Tolles Video 👍
@@ApexRace I used to own and trade used sportcars and the whole 911 production from late 60es to late 80. The 204hp was for sure amongst my best loved 911 along with the Carrera 3.0 and the wild 2400/S. Yes,after market steering boxes were available in the 80es and possibly still available today. If you were looking for more responsiveness with lesser lock to lock turns you could trade your stock one and have an upgraded one mounted with reasobable money.Conversely the steering wheel got a bit heavier,in everyday traffic it wasn't really so pleasant: those were basically upgrades for racing purpose and honestly I wouldn't do it today on a full original classic SC as the one in the video.Either way I felt comfortable with the stock steering of the SC:instead hated the pedals layout and got aluminium racing pedals.Hat off in front of the 911 project !
Consider having to rebuild one. I got my 1983 TARGA SC , drove it 15 years and parked in under cover. Waiting to overhual the motor. That includes all timing and valves. These are air cooled and overheating can cause damage. Plus you can improve the emissions and gain horsepower and top end speeds. I was passed one day by a C4 Porsche and admired the stability. The driver had a serious grip on the wheel. I guess the point being that there are no limits. Like 0-60 in 2.6 seconds. How far do you want to go is the only question to ask. I hope you get the pleasure of owning 0ne. PEACE
@@ApexRace Yes, emotions can outclass mere performance ... I do really miss my 911 babies :) S2200/S2400/S2700/SC 188-204/Carrera 3200 Good memories and no speedtraps !! Love your videos,greetings from Italy :-)
@@INDIGOBLUE555 Thanks Mate I have also done a Review on the Porsche but in german...th-cam.com/video/fH9JXQtVAcg/w-d-xo.html but recently I have switched to english so i hope there will be soon a english porsche review :)
my SC is sensitive to wind and road surface above 180 kph. I prefer to cruise under that speed on the Autobahn and have my fun accelerating, shifting and braking on the secondary roads.
Honestly expected it to pull harder, and faster. 185 kph indicated really isn't that fast. I expected at least 210-225 kph, and for it to get there faster.
@@APedroSanchez 50 km/h is a very common speed limit in germany...and on the speedo is only 60.. so would get a ticket maybe thats the reason. They are not sooo expansive I guess that costed around 50.000€ +-
@@ApexRace no vid, but from 4.000 starts the fun, so shift at 6.500rpm when the engine is at running temperature. Under 4.000rpm it drives likes a Opel Astra.
@@ApexRace offcourse it's better for the car to shift at 2000/2500 rpm like you do. Oil pressure and engine wear are a lot higher when you shift at >4000 so I was happy to see you treated the car with care and shifted at normal rpm's instead of pushing it to 5000 all the time!
Oh man wie mir das frühe geschalte auf den Sack geht... Den 6zylinder kann man auch entspannt auf 6 tausend Touren drehen! Vor allem wenn man Autobahn fährt

Das schönste Cockpit aller 911, kriege immer noch Herzklopfen, wie damals als ich als 10 jähriger das erste Mal in einem 930 saß.
Man, with those gloves I was expecting to see 6000 rpm in 5th gear.
Haha next time i promise

I had my completely stock 1978 911 SC going 110 mph on the back straight at Road Atlantic It was a parade lap at Petit Le man : )
I have an '84 3.2. Laughing at the steering input on the round-abouts. I live that daily. Wish our cars had a little faster steering rack. Great vid.
Thanks! Is it not possible to modify the steering?

Back in the 90's I owned an 83 911SC and this video helps bring me back to those times. Thanks for this!
My Pleasure
Such lovely cars😍 I have wanted one since I was 10 years old (1976)....

Oh you have the Porsche Classic radio, that's where the satnav voice was coming from.
exactly
Great daydriver, I loved my white 204hp SC.
Even more fun than the Carrera 3200 yet being
slower.
I am with you sometimes slower is more fun then faster especially with older cars

Very beautiful car. Would love to own a classic like this one day.
I would be happy to own any Porsche 911 :)
I did one lap on the Nordschleibe in 11min14sec538ms in the 911sc 1980 model! What an amazing ride!!
Cars evolve apparently. I easily did BTG sub 11 min with a 2016 seven seater 2,1 ton Volkswagen Sharan 4-motion 140ps diesel…
my SC is sensitive to wind and road surface above 180 kph. I prefer to cruise under that speed on the Autobahn and have my fun accelerating, shifting and braking on the secondary roads.
Habe einen 1984 Targa 3,2 mit 207 PS (Kat) bin voll happy 😃.
Letztens mal 200 km/h ausprobiert mit Dach offen 🤣.
Der Bottleneck waren meine Ohren 😅
He is only driving at 112 MPH that car has plenty more! 150 MPH! Lets go!
Great car and great driving, cheers!
Thank you very much! Soon a Review will follow
@@ApexRace Cool! I had a 1975 911 SC as my first car back in 2011, still miss it. My next one will definitely be a 911 again.
@@quackgarage9551 To be honest the Boxer Engine has something in it - it's really addicting
@@ApexRace It sounds amazing, it's my favorite engine sound along with any good and old V8 ;)
@@quackgarage9551 Oh yeah! Too bad that the only Car with a rear flat is Porsche and they are a litlte bit overpriced for my taste
I thought the 930 was the Turbo and the SC the non-turbo.
Yes you are completly right, my fault!
old but gold
Ach, Brandenburg. Schöne Heimat
Ein Traum…der kostet soviel wie 3 neue 😍
Das würde ich verneinen
Awesome 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😎
What are those emblems on the back grill?
1981 flies um to 250 km/h, 6000 rpms in the 5th Gear
i had a nice 912 but was always scared of the expense of blowing the engine so babied it
Honestly expected it to pull harder, and faster. 185 kph indicated really isn't that fast. I expected at least 210-225 kph, and for it to get there faster.
Warum geht der Tacho bis 300 ?
Laut Besitzer wurde der Porsche neu aufgebaut und der Besitzer wollte einen Turbo Tacho der geht halt bis 300 :)
@@ApexRace alles klar :-)
Sehr schönes Video und vor allem eine sehr vernünftige Fahrweise!
I was kinda expecting him to gun it :/
Sorry aber topspeed als Titel find ich unpassend da war mein erster Elfer ja schneller und das war nen 72iger 2.4E 🤗
I wonder why the speedo shows 300kph when it actually can’t reach 200...
Its not a original Speedo. Its from a 911 Turbo
Apex Race oooh ok. I was confused like « I know it’s an SC, it says it’s an SC, it’s not THAT fast... »😂
Looks good tho👌🏻
Hatte ich auch mal. Tritt rein junge ! Der rennt 240 Berg ab.
I wonder why this car fell flat?? I've had my 3.2 up to 255 km/h. This car should have been able to hit 240.
I was just scared...
They should have used these to push those old 300 SDs down the freeway.
what´s the red line at 50 on the speedo? the minimum recommended speed? ;-)
The owner said to me the speedo is not orginal it's from a Turbo Version tbh i don''t know
@@ApexRace still thanks for the answer - awesome car!
if I was a millionaire.... ;-)
@@APedroSanchez 50 km/h is a very common speed limit in germany...and on the speedo is only 60.. so would get a ticket maybe thats the reason. They are not sooo expansive I guess that costed around 50.000€ +-
Not so bad for a Beetle but quite slow for an actual car.
Why don’t drive it like it must be driven? Slow and shifting to quickly. From 4.000rpm the fun starts. Better buy an Opel Astra
I cant afford a Porsche 911 :( Have you a Video for me how to shift properly?
@@ApexRace no vid, but from 4.000 starts the fun, so shift at 6.500rpm when the engine is at running temperature. Under 4.000rpm it drives likes a Opel Astra.

Very cool 911. But i have to say to everyone who does this. Ditch the gloves fellas. It lools so bad.
So now you warmed up your car-take it for a real drive!!!-drive it like a Porsche!!!-
too much respect for the old Porsche ... next time :)
Oh man wie mir das frühe geschalte auf den Sack geht... Den 6zylinder kann man auch entspannt auf 6 tausend Touren drehen! Vor allem wenn man Autobahn fährt
War nicht meiner wollte es nicht übertreiben beim nächsten mal dann auch mehr ausfahren
@@ApexRace nice. Verständlich
@@wasserkocher_official4324 hast du auch einen 911er?
@@ApexRace ne leider... Bin grad erst 18. Aber demnächst kommt n Opel Gt 1900
Bleib in dein Keller Spezialist!!!
Come on 111mph, that's poor.
Next time i will try to get everything out of the car
Now do you actually own a 911 SC or not?
@@arnoldmosk494 That's why a said it.
Great car. Boring drive!
Only going about 100 mph, big deal.
Top speed is 140mph
I guess not in the Car... their was not much Revs over
High speed? Unter 200 km/h braucht man keine Handschuhen
Für 1982 bestimmt. Damals hättest du bestimmt Windeln gebraucht.
@@ApexRace :)
@@ApexRace Handschuhe? Bei dem Lenkrad und in dem Auto? Wozu?!? Erst Recht wenn man den Elfer wie einen Diesel Golf bewegt...
@@stephanfisch9479 damit du kommentierst
@@ApexRace gelungen würde ich sagen...
Im Ernst... Das Lenkrad ist ein Hochgenuss. Da braucht es nichts zwischen Lenkrad und Hand des Bändigers.
Please don’t call it top speed. I was expecting something different. Cruising German Autobahn would be the right title.
have you "cruised" with such a Porsche on the Autobahn? I doubt it ;)
200kmh und das nennt sich Sportwagen...
würde schneller gehen - habe mich aber nicht getraut
@@ApexRace was ist das für ein Sportwagen in dem man es sich es nicht traut?
ein Alter wo die Front (Steuerung) immer leichter wird mit zunehmender Geschwindigkeit
@@ApexRace sag ich doch, das ist doch kein Sportwagen! Da geht nichts über ein Ferrari
puh keine Ahnung bin ich noch nie gefahren! Du?
