Nah, I have both an '84 944 and a Tesla and they are both satisfying in their own right. When my 944 left me stranded last week I was so happy to climb into the tesla and marvel at the amazing engineering and technology. I think classics appeal more to those mechanically inclined and modern EVs possibly to those who are electrically/computer inclined.
@@Spartan168yeah, but it’s delusional to think you get the “driving experience” of man and machine from a smartphone on wheels. It’s the same difference as “car guys” with showroom perfect 20yr old corvettes with 100 miles on them and people who take their car to the track and do donuts on snow days in parking lots.
@@ForemiWhen comparing apples to apples your argument completely falls apart. Of course a new Corolla is gonna drive like shit when comparing it to a DC2R, but that's not because it has screens or microelectronics, it is because it's a Corolla. Actually comparing it to an old one, the new model handles better and more direct in every driving situation. Similarily, old sports cars feel unfinished when comparing them to newer ones. An E36 M3 can be somewhat unstable, often too hard and has a pretty clunky power delivery with the early gen Vanos. The G80, as ugly as it is, is extremely well balanced, has a super smooth powerband and, while hard, never feels that violent suspension-wise.
If we ever meet in opposite direction, it s gonna be a mess. I hope that road is one direction only. If you keep this up, you better buy a guardian angel.
you are correct in this case but motorcyclist are still the A-holes of any roads, alpine or not. So, until motorcyclists stop treating the roads as their own private race tracks and speed limits as optional info, you don't get to say anything.
@@ZdenekChovanec Sure, some of them might be driving dangerously. Does that mean you can ignore their existence and risk killing one? How is your driving here any better than the driving of a "dangerous motorcyclist"?
There's a few comments about the driver driving around lefthand corners blindly. Given the cameraman is on the righthand side of the car and has better visibility of road going into a lefthand bend (and still has minimal visibility of oncoming traffix), I'm inclined to agree. The driver here was taking big risks driving into the lefthanders in the centre/on the wrong side of the road. I'm not an expert, but I regularly drive fast on mountain roads in Wales and don't approach blind bends on the centre or wrong side of the road. I would hate to meet this guy coming the other way on a pre-sunrise drive 🤷
it s avoidable, the angles on camera are very different from eye view, the corners are not that steep, you can see what s behind the corner 30 40 meters ahead. and you can also see other corners up the road, if you can t see cars, there are slim chances that a car will come up i wouldn't t force an old Porsche on the tiny bends like he' s doing, in a pre dsc Porsche as soon as the wheels slip, you re dead
It is tough to say but he may be able to see far ahead and can therefore anticipate that there is no car coming his way. But you can only do that if you know the road and its corners very well and you can compute the amount of time an approaching car may need to come your way. Or more simple, it is a one way road on that day for whatever reason. Otherwise, I agree it is nuts to drive like that.
Lovely car. Throttle, downshifting and braking leave room for improvement, no rev matching, or turning under any engine power leaves the car quite unstable.
Looks like the CAE shifter.... I was considering buying one for my 02, 3.2 liter 6 speed 986 Boxster S; went with a Numeric shifter ultimately. I've got A Fabspeed exhaust, Evolve CAI, IPD Plenum/TB, catless headers, Bilstein performance struts, H&R lowering springs, etc. Luv it; sounds absolutely vicious/exciting. Always looking foward to the next "spirited" drive! the sound is addictive
Rather more risk of biteback too, if you don't know what you're doing. I'd guess that modern tyre compounds have changed the dynamics a little. There's another rabbit hole !
@@fartloudYT You're quite right. I haven't given it much thought, but there would appear to be a healthy demand amongst some 'classic' car owners to buy and fit newly- made examples of an icon like the Pirelli Cinturato. I guess it's mostly down to sizing and the correct period look. Of course, some modern performance tyres will definitely affect the way a car steers, rides, and handles - and not always for the better.
'Sense,' as in sensory feedback, is probably the operative word. Must give the brain a thorough (and rejuvenating) workout. Probably beneficial for the old 964 too. 👽
tbh, in a hot hatch, you could, probably, go much faster.... but, the ideea behind driving a 964 in a sporting manner is totally different. It is the experience, not the speed.
Second gear gets a very thorough workout and it's a fair gap to third. You get the impression that Zdenek is feeling and feeding the power on exits. It's also interesting to note that my old 986S will usefully rev higher than this wonderful air-cooled 964. Torque curve comparisons would be interesting... 👽🌟🔰
@@ZdenekChovanec Make longer POV videos because this is too short. For example, make videos about the Porsche 964 on highways and countryside roads as well.
I've sometimes wondered whether it's more naturally appropriate for the majority, right-handed, driver to shift a manual transmission. Perhaps a slightly more direct synaptic pathway helps ? Most of us are wonderfully adaptive, of course, but have there been any studies done to explore this issue ? (By the way, it's even more fun without a roof !) 👽 🌞
Possibly for some, but in my experience changing LHD to RHD it took little to no getting used to. Shifting doesn't require the fine motor control from your hands that you associate with right vs left handedness - it's not like writing. However, there is a lot of fine motor control in shifting, but it's with your feet and toes, not your hands.
@@TheOfficialOriginalChad I'm sure you're correct. From my limited experience of driving a left-hooker overseas, I initially found 'placing' the car on the road took a little getting used to.
Actually i have a quite nice story about that. The first time i learned how to drive a stick was with Rob Wilson in a 198-horsepower Vauxhall Astra hatchback. This was RHD.
If I'm not mistaken you definitely driving in Portugal up north because if this is where I think it is, me and @gtcircle did that in the opposite direction. Pretty cool road
You joking right? It's clearly portuguese roads and I've been looking in google maps. It's the one I thought up north. Plus doesn't help you passing by a car in the first vew seconds of the video that has portuguese license plate.
Alpine guy here, driving on the daily on the same type of roads, and at high speeds with tuned cars. Lots of comments on the driver's lane discipline which is understandable from a "flat screen perspective" like all viewers here. But I like to defend the driver a bit on this one. Real world 3D perspective is very different from you see here. Actually, lots of "blind corners" are really not that blind in real moutain driving situations. And here it seems like it's exactly that. Anticipation is key for these kinds of driving techniques, with enough visibility, you can cut corners in anticipation. Most of the corners have great visibility way BEFORE the apex, meaning you mostly know if someone is coming or not. No trees, no steep hills or cliffs, low angles corners that makes the road visible from afar. Plus you see this through a fixed camera. Everyone a little bit implicated with spirited driving/motorsport knows that eyes mobility and "trajectory scanning" is the most important technique to master to drive safe and fast. Nevertheless, only that last corner is a bit twitchy I gotta say because: no visibility.
Salute the guy brave enough to go sit next to him. There sure were some blind corners up the road…

Not that’s just shitty driving on an open road. Taking left turns he would be actually be seeing LESS from the driver seat compared to camera pov.
That looks like fun. It will take some time to know the road first before I would try that.
