I have never driven a Porsche but I have driven a Bufori and the lift off oversteer on that was exciting and enjoyable. I used to be able to steer the car with throttle. I can only assume that this Porsche would have similar characteristics.
Thanks Gents for amazing vid, this too is also my hero car seeing it back as a young kid growing up in the black paint and later a yellow bird model. I loved the look of the 930 and boxer engines ever since. Great to see Targa Tassie clips would sure like to see more, lastly any chance you might gets hands on and try a new BRZ or GR86 would be great to hear your thoughts Take care Gents
Thanks Chris. Yes a BRZ definitely possible. See what we can do. And about to embark on Targa Tasmania 2022 in a fast turbocharged RX8, so I expect something will come from that. Stu.
Enjoyed this one. Seems like you “scratched the itch”, but this is not one for the collection. I had a 993 for 14 years before selling on and I do occasionally think about going back. A 964 maybe (a resto mod even better) - but agree - hard to really justify at current prices.
Stu promised that this wasn’t going to beat the score of the RX3! And I think he’s getting old and soft; put him in a car with no aircon (or ineffective aircon such as this Porsche) on a hot day and he ends up concluding the car is no good!
Clearly I've failed in my communication skills. I did really enjoy the 911. It's a fabulous car and very distinctive in the way it drives. Brought back a lot of great memories. But yes I am old and probably getting soft. As I said in the video, the fabulous cars you've allowed me to ride and drive in have spoiled me - many of them with excellent air-con. Only the crazy prices the early 911s attract was a turn off, but that's no fault of the car. For the record everyone, I loved the 1984 911 Carrera and I'd happily own one. Yes they have foibles that are part of it's charm and characer. Yes, it's fair to say the A/C was never particularly great in the air-cooled cars. But the thing oozes personality and is a joy to drive and enjoy. I would never suggest it was 'no good'!
Technically yes you're right but some think the earlier designs are more iconic and classic. For some it's the 993. For some it's the 964. But I suspect most would vote for the G-series or the small bumper 1970s cars.
Love seeing the old rally video Stu
Thanks Mark. Even with a helmet on, it was a lot noisier in real life. Sounds boss, doesn't it?
Great review! I am thinking of selling my 997.1 for a 84. Always wanted a air cooled
Great review - I was at targa 2017 followed your progress.
Bought my 88 five years ago and just happy to be “in”. Would hate to imagine paying the prices they fetch now trying to get one

You must have watched it at double speed mate. It's twenty minutes long and you replied in less than ten!
@@inCARnationAustralia guilty… I watch pretty well everything at double speed these days

@@inCARnationAustralia That’s great news and best of luck at Targa! Everyone watching can’t miss the sound of you guys coming with that rotary I bet 😉
Air cool life 😎

Very nice what is the name of this place 😊😍
Video was filmed in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney Australia
I have a '89 3.2 and love it. One drive and I was hooked on the feeling of the car. It's an overgrown go-kart.
The 964 did not have multilink in the rear.
Thanks for clarification

Haha yes Peter, I’m afraid both Stu and I are old and soft now! We’d better get that cassette player fixed !
993 was pinnacle of air cooled .

Lots of rambling, no facts about colours
This looks to be the Ruby Red Metallic exterior with Dark Brown leather interior trim. But the exterior could be the Wine Metallic .
