Just watched the CLK GTR video yesterday, I've got to say I'm loving these videos of the GT1 homologation based vehicles, such unique powerhouses with looks that are timeless.
This content is genuinely more addicting than cocaine. Thank you for giving us such detailed access to such legendary motor cars that many of us will never have the opportunity to see in real life, let alone experience to this level. Thank you, and keep up the mega work!
These videos (this and the CLK-GTR) are so unique; you guys should start a series on the "quirks and features" of these ultra rare exotics. Keep them coming!
@@HolTukIj haha, I mean I know dougs popular but I doubt even he has access to the caliber of cars that DK engineering does. Makes sense for them to produce that niche content since they have the inventory to create it
Filmed so well I could feel the precision of the gear shifter. I watched this with my Autoart 1:18 scale GT1 sitting right next to my TV where it lives and didn’t realise how perfect the GT1 is. The leather, steering wheel design, and just everything is so beautiful.
Lots of videos of guys hooning around in one of these but nothing like this where you get a feel for what it's like to live with something as special as this. It's a privilege to see this.
The fact that the legendary GT1 is under miscellaneous, along with the Carrera GT, is almost insulting to the car! It should be labeled legends. Great video mate. These videos are pure pornography for motor heads
@@DuBstep115 It doesn't spoil like milk does, but temperature changes may cause condensation which obviously isn't good for the oil. There's oxidation as well as other users pointed out. Also there are a ton of additives that may expire. Maybe you were joking, but there's a good reason for oil to be changed after a couple of years.
I thought about the same. The mercedes needs 4 man to remove the engine cover which is ridiculous. I see more people actually use the Porsche for driving than the CLK. Thats a clear indicator what a car Porsche really built back then.
from across the pond in a tiny NYC apt .... i just wanna say that you and the team are just absolutely as professional as it gets and inspirational as well .
YES a new one I lived the CLK GTR oen you did! Great job! Can you d oa 0-300 km/h 0-186 mph GPS timed run as well ;) I did, in a Koenigsegg Agera R once ;)
Mr. James Cottingham along with Dr. Mark Felton,(who produces very fine documentaries about World War II,) are both excellent instructors. James has so much knowledge and patience in these great videos, and it shows. It also shows that the average daily driver is a poor excuse compared to the monster that the Porsche GT1 is. We are in debt to DK for these well done videos. Keep them coming, Gentlemen!
I'm so glad that we have DK to give these amazing legendary cars the attention and care that they deserve, whether that be restorations or refreshing. Would be cool to see some JDM stuff here seeing as they're getting so valuable!
These videos are fantastic and it’s clear that they have an intimate knowledge of these cars but I do physically wince whenever someone shuts a bonnet like that! 😁
Its somehow so strange to see (at least for me) with the car on the outside looking like a extreme 996, while the inside looks like a 993. (I know the GT1 was originally a 993, and this one is technically the GT1 Evo)
Just discovered this, very cool to see some real life practical usage info on car that I'll never own. But now I can look knowledgable when I see them in Monterey in August.
Such a beautiful car. I remember when Tiff Needell said it looked like “a squashed 911”. Many memories of this car in anger chirping away down the straights. Lucky owner!
More of these!!! They're so great, even with cars that aren't as rare. I enjoy startup procedures and switchgear, hard to find the sounds of a car that's rare.
Bookmarked this video. It may become useful in my next life
One can hope 🤞
Good luck with that
Good idea.
Are you sick?
🥂
This is like a fancy version of Doug Demuro. I love it

You need to get better cocaine
The word is addictive, not addicting.
You’re reaching pal.
Nothing is more addicting than cocaine.
Now just waiting for the McLaren F1 video
Then finally a real car... lol

+1!

Great ending BTW!
Yes! We need more driving footage please.
Yeeees, another one. Keep'em coming 👏

I would love to see you do a F1 LM or a F40 LM. Great video btw.
They must have been on the line.
F50 GT
1998 Toyota GT-One is pretty sick road legal GT1 car as well.
Or an F50 GT.
@@DuBstep115 there's only 1, and Toyota has it.
Much easier to remove the rear clam than on a CLK GTR. I think I'm sold.
you can do it yourself vs a team of 4 on the CLK haha
@@ShaiyanHossain Exactly. I'd have to hire an extra mechanic if I wanted to get the GTR - which seems excessive.
Easier to check the oil on the CLK, though. :P
Wow. So much easier to live with than CLK GTR. Love em both.

They should be under the "You're Fooling Yourself" category :-)
Outstanding.
If you ever get lucky enough to get your hands on a Rover 100, I'd love you to give it same kind of video coverage.
The oil being drained was as good as new 🤣 thank you for sharing this detailed and beautifully constructed video! 🙏🏻
Well when you got a million dollar car who would want to risk it because of 60 bucks.
Maybe it doesn’t drive much but the oil life is 1 or 2years
@@rotorblade9508 funny thing, it's been underground for millions of years but as soon as we put it in bottle it goes bad in year.

The sounds on these german cars REALLY make these videos. Very crisp noises, no background hum. It's like an asmr video for men. lol
Please keep these coming, we love them!!
Please continue doing these. This and the CLK GTR video are really great content.
I'm so glad yt put this channel in my feed. It's quickly become a favorite.
I like that Porsche is more like a "car" compared to Mercedes
@Marc Willard I believe he's referring to the CLK-GTR. They have a similar video on it.
@Marc Willard Straight up race car, but it has a license plate lol

@@martinsonnleitner7911 yeah, pass way mor gt1's than clk's on my way to work
Finally I know how to maintain the GT1 sitting in my garage
I love this, a “how to” video the 20 people that actually own one 🤣. Joking around, pretty cool to see.
I could watch these for hours. Thank you to the new owner for the permission. How about a Dauer 962 road car next? Or one of those Prodrive 550's?

Now I know what to expect when I get my own 911 Gt1! Thanks!
10:52 Ouf, the sound of those gear shifts.
High quality channel with fantastic demonstration. Also thank you for not putting any stupid background music.

Let’s take one of the most expensive cars that’s for sale right now and do a 0-300kmh. Yeah that’s not going to work out buddy lmao
@@ImTehRiZe I know so I kind of joked so I was really surprised with the ending! :O
@@ImTehRiZe People have done crazier things, "buddy".
@@ImTehRiZe he's an class act clown, seen him in real life. Grown man should know better.
What an amazing shift action! Tons of 993 and loads of familiar gear from my 996. Amazing on the move!
Just stunning preservation work on this classic. Looks factory fresh!
watched CLK GTR yesterday and now I am watching this! whata treat! thanks for the uploads
This makes me love my 986 boxster S even more. There's definitely some shared DNA there.
My God, best car channel ever.
This channel deserves WAY more recognition.
Your video helped all 20 owners
Love it, how the most uninteresting items of the most intersting cars are still the most interesting content on youtube
Porsche makes utterly spectacular cars! What a race machine this is!!
Everything about this is anazing the video the explanation the car the production quality. Totally tiptop
Amazing video! Subbed after the CLK GTR video and will probably stay subbed for very long! Absolutely epic content!
Me too after carfection video these are amazing to watch.
My dream car is more interesting than I even thought.

Such a beautiful and enduring design. 20+ years old and the only thing dated about it is the cracked egg headlights. Still awesome!!!
nothing more enjoyable for a man than that! always a joy to watch you demonstrating such a mechanical marvel!
These videos are fantastic and it’s clear that they have an intimate knowledge of these cars but I do physically wince whenever someone shuts a bonnet like that! 😁
Thank you...
Love your videos .. Showing us the dream cars of our youth!

13:40 omg that sound. So many NFS Porsche Unleased memories started to flooding back
You are making some legendary guides
yes thnx, I just bought one and had no idea what to do

WHAT ARE THESE VIDEOS !!!! Holy crap thank you DK Engineering this is gold
You make me cry, my F*cking Favorite Car Ever.
Very nice guide, now i know how to use my GT1 properly
I didn't know I needed these videos, amazing
What a machine, thanks for the close up shots and running through the switchgear.
As much as I think I like the Porsche better, After seeing this video, I am waaaay more sold on the CLK. Thank you for the informative videos!
This is the best video of all time
With the CLK GTR video, these are the best videos on youtube
“About thirteen and a half turns”. That’s James May style preciseness. *clicks subscribe*
Can't wait to drive this...
...in Gran Turismo 7.
Great video, love how it dances in your hands at speed :)
gt1 was really a decent conversion to road. clk gtr had massive fuck off I am done vibes.
First youtube video without a single dislike.. respect +1000
Nice one. Had one sat on the drive for ages - now I can finally put washer fluid in it ! 👊
We need more of these
Lovely mechanical sound from the gear change.
A great help.I had no idea how to check the oil level in my GT1 and was worried.I have had to use my Mclaren F1.
Amazing piece of engineering. They look even more impressive in the flesh.
The cigarette lighter is the most confusing part of that car 😃👍🏻 thanks for those stunning videos! And thanks for reviewing these classic super cars 🚘
Excellent presentation. What a car....
These videos are remarkably well done.
This absolutely splendid!
Such a beautiful car. I remember when Tiff Needell said it looked like “a squashed 911”. Many memories of this car in anger chirping away down the straights. Lucky owner!
Thanks. I'll collect it next Tuesday.
The right Dynamo machine, this is so cool!
What a great explanation. This company is next level, great work.
At last, someone who know exactly how to proper close a bonnet/hood.
Ah, thank you for the helpful guide! I just took delivery of my own like-new GT1 and couldn’t figure out how to use it!!
More of these!!! They're so great, even with cars that aren't as rare. I enjoy startup procedures and switchgear, hard to find the sounds of a car that's rare.
Amazing. Didn’t expect the little blat at the end.
The ultimate Porsche, ever! I’d have one over the 959, over the Carerra GT, over the RS. 😍
Thanks a lot for not putting any background music!!
Amazing stuff. Jon is a lucky man!
Amazing car
thank you..dream car for ever.
I totally need this for my Strassenversion in my garage. Thanks guys!
This is so helpful for the milions of owners of this model of car
i’m loving these type of videos you’re doing
More of these please !
Yes! More where this came from, please!
Wonderful close-up shots here
Goint to guess there wasn't a handy Haynes guide for rebuilding that engine... Stunning work all around
Absolutely love these videos. Thank you for sharing.
Alain de Cadenet would be impressed. Great video.
Thank you for giving a visual access on this elusive car along with the clk gtr
Awesome! I don't have that tool from the boot though... Could I find a replacement on Ebay?
