Thanks so much! It really helps.

Great explanation, thank you. I suggest a different cam operator in the future as it was making me dizzy watching everything bounce all over the place.😉

Thanks. I have a 997.2 targa and I did not know either point you brought up. Thanks for the education.

You shouldn't slam the rear hatch! And even driver door..smh

how's the whip now? great video--thank you very much

OMG ... I came across your video by accident and instantly recognized you by your voice! LoL. :) Great video and nice car!

Nice job!!

Good review. I just brought a 2007 Targa. Love it.

So I found this 911 996 Targa for a 27K in automatic. What do you think?

Used the vid to guide me. Do you still have your car?

I had a 993 Targa and now I have a 997.2 Targa 4S so I've owned Targas for 10 years or so. Not sure your video does them justice. I don't track, I just use them in the real world on the streets so it comes down to choice. Cabrios for me lose the 911 aesthetic, they lose the rigidity of a true sports car and also the classic line of a 911. The Targa in my opinion is a happy midpoint, I had an SC sunroof coupe which was awesome but it comes down to choice. Whichever you choose a 911 of any variant is a joy to own, I don't think you'd be disappointed. I just wish that I could go back and tell my 28 year old self that the 40k miles '67 911T in Irish Green on offer at £10k with registration 911 ( where I live we have no letters) was a better choice than the GP White 70k miles '79 SC that I bought for £12.750. We all make mistakes.....

Just get a sunroof

Thank you! What do I owe you?

I essentially came here to see a 993 Targa...

You folded the targa top on the 964 and carried it with you in the front trunk. It had a mechanical folding set of beams and a canvas-like top. You could easily manage it yourself -- I did it all the time.

Is it advisable to install a K&N filter that one would clean and re-oil on a regular basis? Or should one stay with the disposable OEM filters?

Jesus Take wheel when I be trackin that

Thank you because I was trying to figure out how to completely disconnect the air filter box. I was trying to figure how to disconnect that circular piece on the box lol - thanx again

great video thank you im just looking at buying one.

The video has nothing at all to do with the 993! Click bate

Great video - how is the storage space with the rear seats down? I love this style Targa and would love to get a 996 as a practical GT/sports car for weekend camping trips. I'm also thinking about the 987 Cayman with its hatch and decent rear storage plus frunk. RWD is definitely desirable to me, as I already have the rear wheel biased AWD covered with my 2008 BMW 535xi wagon. It's a manual with sport package, so I know what you mean about the difficulty of finding a replacement. There were only 300-odd manual 535xi wagons imported to the USA, and not many had the sport package. I fear hitting a deer in mine - that's what totaled my last car, a 2009 328xi manual, and I hit one with the car before that too. Michigan is a dangerous place to drive and ride in the evening!

While the Targa does add 130lbs of weight vs coupe, the sunroof adds about 60. And all US cars have the sunroof except custom orders and some of the racing variants.

So you can open and close at speed thanks

Essentially.

A lap around Virginia International Raceway. Fastest was 2:28.4 however this one was prettier! PCA_FSR. Ran stock vehicle w/ Pagid RS29 (Yellow) pads, Motul 600 brake fluid, Potenza RE-11 tires.

cool car man...i used to own a 996 C4s and i really wish i got the targa instead.

This is pretty easy, but takes a little bit of patience the first time. He forgets to tell you that there is a clip on the left side too that connects the snorkel to a pipe. You can hear it pop at about 2:03 in the video. Luckily the snap popped out of the snorkel and left the clip attached to the pipe. I took the clip off and replaced it on the snorkel before I put the full assembly back in.

One forgotten bit... the (frame of the) roof, when retracted, does obscure the sight lines out the rear view mirror somewhat (the lower half of the view). If you are average (5'10") or above height male, you'll be able to see ok-ish-barely out the back if you sit up straight. Otherwise not so much.

Really cute

very informative!

993 (1995-1998), 996 (1999-2004), and 997 (2005-2011) generation Porsche 911s all had this same retractable roof approach.

Novice run (first time ever on a track for me). Loved it. Bonus: Had instructor in passenger seat (novice group) which was so good. Bonus2: SCDA event also had a second instructor in the classroom before each run (and that helped with the line). One downside: stuck behind others sometimes and HPDE rules restrict passing unless Pointed Bye (literally, the driver ahead points you bye)...cannot be avoided thou. Second downside: Harrys Lap Timer data is off and usu did not work.
