Bought a 996TT manual years ago. The quality is top notch after 23 years. Hardly any maintenance, just regular stuff. The 996 is finally getting some credits !
It's a great car, bought a 996TT 8 years ago and its only enemies are environment and time. After 15 years I had to do all the belts, hoses, and tanks - including welding the coolant lines. Buy it for the Mezger engine alone!
As Max said, I was born in '91 and the 996 came out during our childhood. This is the 911 to have for me. The 996 c4s was my dream car and made it my mission to have one.
204mph was extraordinary in 2001. I had a 93 Porsche 968 from this period and remember raves about the power, if not at all about the styling. I can see why on both counts. Thanks for this full beans demo, Max.
Good lord, its beautiful how easy this car reaches its top speed, cant believe that its already 23 years old. And I absolutely agree on the sound aspect, this Porsche sounds incredible despite the fact that its turbocharged, whereas the new ones sound more like vacuum cleaners. such a shame, but it also makes you appreciate older cars even more
I have driven the 996 GT3, but I can clearly see that the 996 made by RUF is on a completely different level. 🧐💯The suspension performance is particularly excellent, and it feels like the body rigidity, road grip, and steering response are all significantly higher in the RUF version. It's an amazing car!🏁
My father has 996 from 2003 stock. He went 280 and still had some to give. The headlights got a bad review but they are like this for aero. The engine is fantastic.
Hi Max, I 'm a 996 3,6 c2 cab owner : sport chassis, sport exhaust, full stock for the rest. Just a cool car, undervalued because of porsche experts' taliban' mind, but what a car. Full equiped with michelin 4s for fun in curves. Car bought 8 years ago, just magic ( charms of old porsche with the comfort of the new ones). Greating from France, cheers
Not gonna lie. My hands started sweating there for a bit. You could see how it started skittering slightly at the front end at 330. And the bridge shot. Fucking epic. Let's get more old skool cars on. Looks exciting as f! But also a bit dangerous. Stay safe out there!
max you have given me my early Xmas present. I used to hate but have now become the biggest 996 turbo fan. the orange didn't just didn't mean thefriedegg headlights. people don't realize tfe lines of this car wouldn't look right with 997 oval lights. this car has more angular lines. this car is what I dream about at night. my brothers 993 t urbo in guards with 18k mile s doesn't hold a candle to this. RUF is a company like no other. have they]y ever taken there highest s performing cars stripped down threw everything in the rubbish bin so a tuner could take the flagship and let Ruf build something they clearly couldnt build. once in a generation company RUF is. now if you will excuse me I'm going to mute this and pleasure myself to this dram machine. max and the owner a sincere thanks I've been following Ruf since 1984. please more Porsche tuning content cheers
322 on the speedo means 305 gps, standard 18 wheels. I tested it with mine. Full focus on the steering required due to lifting front end. Engine screaming, tornado inside, needing shouting to communicate. 300+ is a rush in this canon. It's nuts
I've had a ride along in a 996 Turbo, 6 M/T as well!! It had Bilstein suspension and an axle back exhaust (can't remember the brand). That was also making around 520bhp. It was blisteringly quick, and blew my WRX out of the water completely. The guy could really drive it too, so much so that we achieved 138mph indicated on a relatively short straight. My ONLY gripe is the sound from the engine, even with the exhaust, isn't as fruity as I'd like it to be. I would still most certainly buy one though given the opportunity!
Ik ben ook van hetzelfde jaar en deze 911 is van onze generatie samen met de 997. Ik heb de brochure hier nog liggen van de 996 turbo. Wie weet ooit zo'n 996 carrera 2 voor de deur.. :D
I absolutely agree with you about your thoughts, the older “autobahn killer” are way better and for this i just bought a JDM import CLS 55 AMG in really mint condition!
The front is kinda light at speed. Nothing as unnerving because the front-mounted gas tank when full is fine but handles totally differently when it is almost empty.
Hey doode how are doing, i watch your chanel about 5 years, thank you for your content amazing and great job, can you make more videos with new porsche carrera coupe please, thank you!
30 years old japanese car digitals are iconic because they are not like one single glass screen and few apps in it. Every single digital cage has its own creative design idea, its own physical and graphic individual design. İt means, they spent so much time creating every single little digital cage in those cars. Today's cats are not like that. Factories makes one single massive glass screen and dump every single shirt into it, because it costs so cheap to build.
Great video ! How do you dare driving 330kmh on the speedo. Has around 8% difference with gps I know. In mine I get scared at 200kmh 😂 that front is getting light. But a great driving car for cornering also. Just back from Germany Luxembourg Belgium
11:57 That was epic
Listen that with a sound system😎😎

Shusssshhh i almost have saved enough up to finally barely afford a 996 tt an as of now the demand for them is up 30+%
An can't afford them now
It's a great car, bought a 996TT 8 years ago and its only enemies are environment and time. After 15 years I had to do all the belts, hoses, and tanks - including welding the coolant lines. Buy it for the Mezger engine alone!
That cam on the bridge is top tier.
Best thing about 20+ year old cars is the noise levels that add up to the "scary fast" factor, even when doing 140-150km/h
996 kinda underrated asf
But so good car raw,real driver car. Love it
Not anymore
Not at all
Underrated for ISB's, amongst other things.
Very underrated

The 996 gt2 is JUST RAW THEN SEND IT TO RUF OR 999 AN own a 5+ mile runway. Lol
The suspension is easily done by a diy guy with proper tools in a weekend. Its just solid metal hyme jointson every point in the suspension

Crazy long gearing but the engine pulls them effortlessly. Love the 996.

This car is dope l love the rev-counter the sound of that exhaust it's a beast.
What a incredible porsche! I love the 996 they are so beautiful. Hope one day you get to do the 996 gt2!
I love how you're alway mindful of the animals! Big up!
That goat was spitting fax
Ruf
The way it picks up speed is pretty impressive
996 is so much underrated. What an awesome car, the last « small » 911. You need to film a GT3 ❤

Max you're a beast, these cars communicate very well with you man 👌
What a monster! Lovely old school power.
One of my favourite generation of 911
Glad to hear the brakes work. Very unassuming beast of a car.

All I can say is WOW!!❤❤❤❤
Amazing video guys, lets find a GT2 the last real PORSCHE before vag..
Oh, this flybys are gorgeous!

Dream car in high school.
Love the autobahn blaaaaaaaaaasts 🙂
Well, that Ruf is on fire.
I love the wheels on this model. They are my favorite.

Love how he despies pops bags and digital clocks
Love seeing some ruf here. Great video!
That splitter is just adorable.😍🤗
That’s a 996 C4S front chin spoiler
The flyby angle was a nice touch!
Those bridge camera was amazing 😮
911 ,996 c4s and turbo have wide body only. C2 and C4 is standard body.
Turbo is a very cool car.!!
Real mechanical sounds are the best. All the character
Ik ben ook van hetzelfde jaar en deze 911 is van onze generatie samen met de 997. Ik heb de brochure hier nog liggen van de 996 turbo. Wie weet ooit zo'n 996 carrera 2 voor de deur.. :D

Bridge pass was epic. :-D I have a 2002 carrera, it does not pull like this above 200 I can tell you that.
Wow ,nice great german car in porsche 💙✨️
Nfs Porsche vibes 🖤
AutoTopNL needs to do a QnA
Als je in een 996 hard gaat rijden is het fijn om dat met een volle tank te doen. Dan zweeft hij een stuk minder aan de voorkant.
Haha! ‘The front is kind of light.’ Crikey Max. Keep it shiny side up mate…
Its kinda funny seeing a Porsche with these long gear ratios. I've seen enough Mercedes videos. I suppose they used an AMG variant of the 722.6
the wheels are actually original turbo rims. Just a Ruf Hubcap.
i love it 996porshe eye❤
I like the new Flyby angle on the bridge
Bro has the best job itw

jesus gotta love those crazy long gears
SHHEEEEEEE THAT WAS SCARY! AT 300+ DENG !
Love my tiptronic..they are alot more reliable and work great with the turbo mezger
Nice Car

Beautiful car but the sky looks like a painting not normal
👍✌
amazing pretty old school car. 330kmh that's it.
Very nice 👍🙏
Love a 996, but then again, I do love fried eggs too.
205 Mph, wow that is fast.
it actually looks like an 02+, the 01' 996s didn't have a glove box
scary , nice driving .
Ruf that name means all the best you can squeeze from any Porsche.
330 😳😳😳🤯🤯🤯😵💫😵💫😵💫
The gearbox will shift automatically even when in M mode. 8:00
Fok that moves, oldschool is always cool!!
I see RUF i click. 😎👊👍✌🇬🇧
jooo jij bent gek :)))
It's so damn cool
Factory airbox is restrictive at those levels. I'd replace it with one that has better flow
All ur videos are gas 😭😭🔥
its funny how over the years your accent has become less dutch and more english
😂 the best tracks that in my native language Ruff means a dog on a chain otherwise Porsche on a chain👍💪
330 in a 996 👊🏻
