Thank you for affirming my decision to spend ALL the money on my PTS 997 this summer from RFMC. And yes, I bought it because I’ve always coveted the PTS cars. I find it a bit annoying that they’ve become the it thing for all the Pcar high rollers who can swing a GT car allocation.
I have many miles, both track and street, in 964RS. I have always felt this car is the pure 911 without feeling old. I have some miles in 993RS and have driven both back to back. For me, the 964 3.6 was just as fast and a lot more raw than 993. I personally don’t love wings on the street. Even the small wing on 993RS is a bit much for me. But it does have A/C making it much more usable than 964. These days I love my RSish ‘98 C2S split grill with suspension, hardbacks, gear shift linkage.
AUDIO PROBLEM: We apologize for the poor audio quality. Unfortunately the issue occurred during taping and could not be fixed post production. Since it cannot be fixed, we decided to leave the video live. Thank you for watching.
I know I'm CLEARLY in the minority here, but to me the slantnose looks like PORSCHE bolted on the front of a TR7. I've always thought its greatest appeal was simply that it was "different" and rare. Yet, the 996 is hated because it was "different". But not NEARLY as different as the slantnose which literally decimated evereything the 911 represented. Runny eggs vs pop ups? I'd take scrambled eggs over those ugly things any day!!! A flat hood? Should've cancelled the 911 and the 928 and just kept building 944's. If PORSCHE ever actually went into heavy production with these, l truly think they would have become the red headed step child of the air cooled era. Is anyone retromodding these? Maybe a few now n then but not many. Why something that screams 1980's but NO manufacturers gone back to since pretty much says it all. We sure this ones not a "Jon Voight" car Dine with the rant, great show, love the channel... Oh, almost forgot, and on a freakin Cabriolet!!! Volkswagen called, they're looking for their convertable bug!!!
Where you see 981 Boxters S 6 speed, are they going to keep their values. A good example less than 50k miles. I see them 41-48k on auction websites. I know y’all talk only about 911s. Can you dedicate an episode to lesser/step sibling models. Thank you for all the information.
@ Also my second question is 992.1 GTS 7 spd. I’m interested in one as well. This being the last of the manual GTS, do you see anything special about it? Thank you again
@@SRG7796 I'd look at 991.1 GTS. Last of N/A. Even better would be a limited version such as Club Coupe or Rennsport Reunion Edition. Also, I go into Boxsters in the newsletter. Big fan.
Agree with David about the Turbo S. That green makes me think of Comet cleanser. To each, his own.
Good to see David Jacobon back

I just stumbled onto this podcast but 8.5 min was all I could suffer through with the earbuds. I might try it again another time.

I agree. The slant nose ruins the proportions of tge car.
You guys should re-record the episode if you can’t get that sound right. It’s unwatchable.

Terrible sound…. Dropping views… to good content.
what's a n/gt ?
@@Laguna2013 sorry we should’ve put up a picture.
It’s a lightweight version of the 964 RS
@@Laguna2013 there actually is an NGT in the video. You can find it at 37:36

If someone gave me a gt3 rs I would trade it for a gts or gt3 touring.
Hello guys, the sound is strange this time 🫣 cheeeers
