1992 Porsche 964 Carrera RS: Rituals of Rennsport
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- The power of Porsche is rarely measured on a dyno, but you can always tell when it’s taken hold of someone. Eli Kogan is certainly no stranger to the marque from Stuttgart, and today we’re joining him for a spirited run through the gears in the type of empty space in the Arizona desert that almost audibly eggs on right feet. In between heel-and-toes and counter-steering his Maritime Blue 964 RS (it’s not an RS America either, despite the US plates), he explains the reasoning behind his Porsche infatuation-from the first triple-digit speed run in the passenger seat of his dad’s 993, to the race-derived nature of the legendary RS line, but we’ll shut up now and let him and the flat-six do the talking.

My 2 cents: I think it's a very good film about the 92 RS, I also think it is a special car, but I am 100% sure you can modify a C2 to get basically an RS. Ditch the sunroof, mod the G50, take all interior out, reinforce couple welds, put in Carrera RS lightweight carpet and RS doorcards,, ditch the steering assist, change for bilsteins and let them be adjusted to RS spec, add an original Tequipment front strut brace, change rear bumper, put in Pole positions, ditch the front carpet, buy an RS programmed EEPROM for the motronic, ditch the A/C, replace the glass with lexan, put in a lightweight FW and clutch, replace rear engine mounts, give your 7 & 8s Cup1s 225Fr/255rear and an RS alignment, optional: put on big reds (although original 4 pots fr/rear should really be fine with good pads). Now you have 99% of an RS and it costs a third at most. I don't know how one can say an RS is so much different from a base C2 when it's almost the same car other than been very biased.
How else will you maintain mythical value of your car than blowing smoke. By the way just today its worth has risen by another $2000 because the rich owner farted in the Recaro leather.
Some RS 964 had a sunroof.
Mad respect for this guy keeping his 964 carrera RS original and preserving history! He is a true automotive enthusiast!!!
You mean hipster
Keeping it stock doesn't make him an enthusiast.
It makes him a guy who apreciate classic cars. That car is going to have a great value in time, if you mod it..you ruin it..Collectors apreciate stock classic cars.
@@carsmedic true automotive enthusiasts will do whatever the fuck they want and please with THEIR car. I mean. Can you really enjoy the car if you are just worried about the value? There are individuals at festivals like Goodwood who throw these so called priceless cars as if they were in their hey-day. Your opinion of whether or not they ruin the car does not matter and you are really just a dick. However, I'm not an animal. I do though, understand that there are cars that are meant to be collectors cars. These Porsches aren't in that league in my opinion.
Put it perfectly, a car enthusiast is someone who enjoys cars, of all kinds in all forms.
I love my 2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ. Every morning when I go out there, there is a bottle of Mountain Dew and a Snickers to greet me!
Yes, but does your check engine light light up?
@@pete5534 it’s never been off, LOL
Ach du liebe!!! What a fantastic piece of Stuttgart engineering!!! I have a 1990 964 C2 and I often tell her "I know when you grow up, you'll want to be a Carrera RS!!!" Excerpt for a few of the uber-expensive 964 variants like the Leichtbau, Turbo 3.6 Flachbau, etc IMHO this is the epitome of 964's. Thanks Eli for sharing your gorgeous car!!! Maybe we'll see you at Rennsport Reunion? Cheers lad!
A very passionate description of what car enthusiasts are all about. I really liked this video.
I may not agree with many things said on UA-cam videos, but Eli hits the nail on the head with this one. My 964 completely changed my perception of what a car is supposed to be.
I'm feeling some 'trust fund' envy, I must admit...
Great film. This is one of the best ones I've seen recently. A nice mix of ambient car sounds and monologue and landscape visuals. More like this please!
Facts!
Agreed, love the scenes where he says nothing, just pure driving, car screaming and amazing shots. That is the real deal of Petrolicious. That's what I came here for the first time when this channel was just starting out. So happy with this 964 vid. This is IT.
Very nice and very desirable. I was fortunate enough to own a 1990 C4 for a few years. I took my dear mum for a drive in it and asked if she was up for a few 'spirited' corners. She was quick to affirm and I'll always remember her giggling like a schoolgirl as that beautiful little car did what it does so well around the next few bends! Thanks for sharing - yet another wonderful vid from you guys. Cheers from Sydney, Aust - Dave
Beautiful and rare car, owner comes off as a trustafarian though
A new word for me, which of course, I'll use...
Because he is...
that's exactly what he is, and there's nothing wrong with that
Without looking up the word in the urban dictionary I'm going to assume that trustafarian means he's a trust fun guy, sorry, I've never heard that one before. That said, hating on someone because they come from means doesn't apply here. That's his lot in life and there's nothing wrong with that! I'll never understand jealousy about money, I mean I'm a part of the working poor but I enjoy these vids and attend cars and coffees here in Chicagoland. At any show I attend I'm surely the lowest income person there but the love of cars brings everyone together and learn something every time I attend them. Just enjoy the video, how it's made and the story to go along with them...oh yeah, the car too!
Bless his grandfather and Detroit real estate. More time to post on IG.
"You're either born with gasoline in your veins, or your not..."
How does Petrolicious have less than a Million subs?! Blasphemous.
You guys never disappoint. Outstanding production as always.
Beautiful film. The owner has a good sense of Porsche ethos but conveyed it in a manner that’s just unpalatable after a few minutes.
msbtennis -
awesome car but the owner sounds so cheesy lol
So many "I" and "me" references. Most of the enthusiasts featured in petrolicious videos convey great humility and passion. Which makes it all the easier to spot the douchebags.
thats cos his daddy prolly bought it for him, and he isn't a real enthusiast
@@StigRossi Wrong....If you see his garage he has newer 911's too which he purchased...But he chooses to drive this car. He obviously fell in love with the Mark at a very early age.
I love that color and that Porsche 😊
Such an amzing car,but that dog its so cute
The dog was looking at the new Speedo thinking not another rs part again ,-how many parts do you need😁
Absolute epic final scene/vista @ 8:34!
Sorry man I'm an architect, don't think I'll ever be able to afford a 964 RS, maybe one day. Beautiful spec
Dude was "bOrN wItH gAsOlInE iN" his veins but his hands have never been dirty in his life lmao.
Peter Sorensen Guitar Exactly. The most difficult thing this guy does with his cars is drive it to his mechanic.
@@overbuiltlimited So what? Not every car guy has the talent, resources or will to work on his own car. That doesnt mean they are any less of a car guy
FullThrottle then he shouldn’t use phrases like “born with gasoline in my veins” which to the OP, myself and most other people would take that to mean that he DOES do his own work.
@@overbuiltlimited To me that phrase simply means he was interested in cars ever since he was a child. He never claimed that he worked on the car himself, and i dont understand why some people would think you cant be a real car guy if you dont.
7:38 So true, could probably talk forever without getting bored. Never had much interest in owning a Porsche until hearing this knowledgeable fellow describe this one so vividly.
LFTGKLT - what a nice number plate! For those of you who are not familiar with the German term "luftgekühlt", it simply means "air-cooled". Great car & perfect color which you can also see on the Audi RS2, the Porsche engineered version of the Audi 80 station wagon.
I appreciate this guy's comments, he's passionate, that's it
i like the bottle of water and altoids mod, a real DIY guy
I get the feeling kids didn’t like him in school, but now “my key fob lights up”
Love the car. Thuis guy knows what he's talking about. Glad he kept it original. Great raw funmachine, more fun than a brand new Porsche.
Looks like he was swapping out the metric speedo for an imperial one.
That was a mechanical drive speedometer from an early 911, not from a 964.
Peak era interior IMO, no electronic crap or touch screens, just nice basic and easy to read black dials with orange needles. This is indeed going to be a classic, if not already going by price.
My wife tunes these videos out when I watch them in bed before we go to sleep but she just said, “did he just say he has to have altoids stocked in his car?”
I love this car and its great to see it being cared for by a guy who will drive it. Thanks.
I owned one of these and raced it for 2 years ( with a few mods, roll cage and slicks ), the standard suspension settings are poor, best change to uprated and more modern shocks or rebuild originals with different valving. Also be aware there are no bump stops on the rear torsion arms so if a shock bolt breaks ( mine did ) you will be 3 wheeling down the road...
This owner is not a car guy. He's repeating stuff he's heard others say. His monologue was one extended cliche.
I like people like this guy, he get what is the fun and excitement of driving and appreciate the joy that can be done with cars!
Beautiful cinematography, this is like a cool minimalist film
Never ceases to amaze me the production level of your videos, this one is no exception love the engine noise it is addicting, great beast this Porsche! Love the fact that he recognizes, no matter who you are or where you’re from car guys are all kindred spirits !
It’s not a mode of transportation. It’s a mode of fun. Couldn’t agree more.
Great video. And an absolutely gorgeous car. So jealous!
Definitely one of my favorite Porsche’s in my favorite color too. There’s just something about a Maritime Blue Carrera RS. 👍
Such a shame that everybody's complaining about the guy.. I really liked the video and what a lovely car
Air cooled, old school, low tech it’s like an 883 sportster the lack of modern refinement makes it great !
Yup, can't get your old Sportster on the road until the magneto kicks your shin a half dozen times !!!
True and certain words at the end of the video, car community sorrounded by nice people, who wants to help other car enthusiasts, talk about what the love: cars. Glad to see someone said it, because it's true. Greetings my friend.
This will show up on the Road&Track Facebook site later on today.
the art directing of those films is just amazing and gorgeous
2:29 that gauge cluster is so clean it belongs in a museum
964 has been my favorite Porsche body style since it was brought out. I have been a fan since the mid 70s of the 911 in general. Great looking car.
Man alive, the production on this one was Fantastic! The shots of the beautiful GSD puppy on his lap! The books and manuals! The slow mo shot of that little oversteer in the desert corner! Excellent video.
That 964 is so clean and beautiful! Never really liked Porsches too much but I like this.
Puse Porsches will grow on you the more time you spend around them. No Nissan can compete with a real engineered drivers car
@@kylepasta What made you mention Nissan specifically? It happens to be my favorite marque.
Kyle Pasta nah I actually like the Nissan 350z and 370z, and Silvia as much as any porche. I like old porches, but don’t really care for modern ones. They’re a dime a dozen. Here in LA, I see more GT3 and GT2 RSs on a daily basis than I do 370zs.
@@ThePussukka lol, because JDM fanboys are the worst they are all 14 years old and don't even own a car. Porsche and European Cars have always been engineered to a greater degree than Japanese or American Cars
@@805NAVE lol the fact you even compare a gt2 rs to a 370z is comical
Beautiful RS and amazing cinematography/footage. I love the enthusiasm and passion of this story. Thanks for sharing and please don't stop making videos like these.
Another beautiful Porsche on this beautiful channel! 🖤
"Its not a mode of transportation, it's a mode of fun" .. Porsche needs to use that as a slogan!
Mentioning bottled water and box of altoids in a Petrolicious vid?...Hipster alert pegged.
Amazing film, stunning raw 964, well articulated by a genuine rev head enthusiast
This guy really gets it, he spoke very well about everything here😉
I like the way he drives the car and the way he talks about the car!
this and a Nogaro Blue RS2 is my perfect 2 Car Garage
90s Guy
That is a beautiful car and the cinematography is, as alway, Petrolicious. I could do with a lot less of the hipster owner talking.
Pretencilicious..
THIS. Another mandork who loves to hear himself talk as he hopes for approval from complete strangers.
I came here for the car, I left because the geek wouldn't shut the hell up.
5:17 dog doesn't care.
He oozes douche
"Son...you wanna see what 100mph feels like?"
- the Best Car Dad in the world
*FANTASTIC!* Beautifully done, bravo!
When he talks about the car feel cohesive and as 1, thats the same feeling im striving for in my car balance.
From about 8:22 to 8:35. "...the shared emotion that keeps this passion alive." Amen to that! I'm in high school, so no money for a Porsche like this, but I'm saving up to get a Miata in the next several months. Can't wait to take my friends for rides in it and really learn how to drive.
Michael Key good choice. Miata is a great driver’s car.
Buy good tires! I know you're just in high school but save up and spend the money on the best all seasons you can get, if possible get summers and winters instead. Also ease into it, and never drive 10/10 on the street save it for the track.
Billy McCock Great advice! I'm planning on doing Flyin' Miata mods to the Miata, including a wheel and tire package they offer that comes with Advanti Storm S1 wheels and Yokohama S.drive tires for longevity and comfort purposes.
The Miata will be just as fun. Handling and balance is where it’s at. Great choice just keep it clean and stay away from power gains.
I used to have a miata, and it truly does teach you how to drive. Low horsepower, get you used to rwd, and fun as all hell. Have fun and good luck!
Great job!! The Colorado roads are amazing to enjoy the Porsche driving experience. Epic landscapes :)
Pure Arizona, bud. Not a drop of CO in it besides the plates. LOL, I'm assuming CO registration and insurance are cheaper.
Thank you!! All that landscapes are very similar for a spanish ;)
Nice. I don't mind a regular C2, but due to certain artificial "taxes" placed on theses air-cooled cars, I'll probably never own one. The way he describes the RS reminds me a lot like how Subaru engineers designed the BRZ. Maximizing this, minimizing that, adjusting things to the mm for the right balance, etc., etc. almost solidifies some pretty good arguments why I should buy a BRZ over other cars on my very short list. Analog driving experiences are almost non-existent, so the BRZ, and Miata for that matter, are two modern cars available today that replicate the analog experience. Cheers.
I'm thinking be a as well,and DON'T BUY NEW,BUY 5-6 years old as it's same car anyway. cheers
"Dad, I'm bored. Buy me a old Porsche that I can go youtube and tell my doctor and architect friends that we are all same"
At least he drives the thing, and hell he gave it a little drift there too. Better than it being a garage queen, defeating the purpose of the car in the first place.
I read this comment in stewie's voice.
Is that a bad thing?
@@MT-kx2uc so if you had something easy is a bad thing. You can understand that this doesn't make sense, right? You can understand that this is envy, right? Are you happy with that? Because most of the people is happy about this guy driving his car and enjoying the goods that this world offers. I can't understand these opinions. Or these feelings.
ChrisTzouve it does make sense, the road towards your dream car or dream build is just as important, to me and reading from the comments to most.
"It's not a mode of transport- it's a mode of fun"- I'm stealing that, well said!
Maaan people are really hating on this guy for no good reason. Who cares if he is a trust fund kid or not? He clearly has an authentic passion for these machines, and the passion is what truly matters.
Seconded.
Gotta disagree with you there. He comes off as a privileged millennial hipster who hasn’t done a day of hard work in his life. That’s what people are ragging on. Not the fact that he has money.
Watched the video until the middle, went to the comments to see if other thhink like me. It is funny how people can sense emotions even from a short video. This guy couldn't hide his pride from us :D
What a great example of one of the greatest Porsches!
Love the number plate! Fantastic car, I hope to own a classic 911 someday.
You've really opted the quality of your content. Greatest job.
One of the coolest 911’s ever, thanks!
Thank you for that awesome RS and suberp Filming/editing!
Beautiful Landscapes ! One of my favourite Porsche ! Congratulations Petrolicious !
Beautiful car Nice to see it being driven since most are sitting in collections. I vaguely remember this one in either BC or Alberta Canada. A local dealer/speculator already bought and sold a rubystone and a polar silver 964 RS. The 90 c2 Baltic blue on blue I drove was a wonderful car. I can only imagine what the RS is like. Very special.
I'm 27 and I really miss the days of real mechanical cars not contaminated by electronic gimmicks that breakdown all the time. Simple, reliable, easy to maintain and a joy to drive.
This guy should try smiling. His face never moves and his voice never change. He's probably fun at parties
Great car, great video. This guy gets it... this car, driving and what it means to be a car enthusiast. Though I am a bit surprised that the Porsche engineers decided to retain the bottle of water and Altoids in the RS.
Great owner. Epic car with a kind heart gentleman. Great video as always.
Thank You, finally some good comments about the owner of the rs, but hey I just realised we have the same last name!
@@kenlee9874 and a billion other people too lol
Wow! Blue cars have always caught my eye and this example is a different story. I’d really love to own that car some day
To be honest, when I saw the thumbnail I was like "Meh, another 911 clip". But damn, this one is high in the ranks even among Petrolicious films. Fantastic shooting and editing!
I absolutely adore this color
That ceramic Daytona was looking mighty fine too. Good pairing with the 911!
He actually drives !!! Hats off
Yea I always have a bottle of fresh water and altoids in my vw gti also ,,,lol
Same car brand!
@@kenlee9874 VW and Porsche are NOT the same.
Living in that area you do makes for some really beautiful drives. I wish I lived in such beautiful scenery.
Excellent film! The car, the sound, the view, the story. Keep on going!
I wish my dad had a 911 when I was growing up. Guess I’ll have to get him one for his retirement years at least.
This video is a piece of art!
Great video with fantastic visuals. A small tip for the owner, don't keep switching the car off via the kill switch. Each time you do that you clear the adaption values in the ecu and you'll find it will stall when cold a lot more. It's a lovely car enjoy.
Actually the 1992 964 US Cup was a USA street legal 964 RS. They imported about 45 of them for a race series that never happened. Very cool car. I owned and raced #21, an Andial car, for a couple of years in PCA.
The bit where he says “doctor architect lawyer” 🤣 I hang around with those guys everyday! 🙄
Karlito Bergkamp I think he just threw out random examples to show how it brings people of different backgrounds together. Cut him some slack...
Any time I get too see someone enjoy a 911, it just makes me smile with envy.... keep up the great content
This is a sweet car. The 964 is the first 911 I ever saw. I was surprised to find out they made a 964 RS.
What road/roads was this filmed on? It looks like Scottsdale, or Bartlett Lake but I don't recognize the roads.
Nice Plate luftgekühlt FTW!!!!
Did anyone notice the license plate? "Luftgekühlt" - well done Mister. 😁👌
Another home run video. I liked this one in particular because I'm a big 911 fan. Also the vid was a bit longer which I really like.
毎日乗る用と、永久保存用と、2台欲しい走る芸術品。
To drive a Porsche on a road like this is really the icing on the cake, Where was this video made? I live in South Florida and don't have roads like that to drive my 911. I guess having the car without the road makes a big difference in the total experience. Great video and car! As always another great video. Thanks.
Scottsdale, AZ
I was about to go to bed then this comes up of my absolute favorite Porsche dammit! I had to watch this love the 964 my favorite 911.
what a dream
I'm very jealous. Impeccable cars and watches. Loved that GMT and daytona bit on top of the 964RS and the 997RS.
Great car. Nice watch collection too.
I came here for the car, not the owner. I try not to be judgemental, he could easily just have bought a Bentley or whatever. But the got the RS, and he drives it and shares it on UA-cam, I respect that. I’m never gonna meet him and talk to him anyway, so why care what he’s like? Are we really wanting to direct who gets what car?
I love this model so much over any of the new Porsches. This car is beautiful
Love the car. Not so much the owner. This guy goes against the grain as one of the best parts of these videos is that the owners were likeable. This guy is not.
He's a nice guy seriously!
I don't really see anything wrong with him?
Jealous bro energy.
One of the best Petro films so far... Good work team. 😊
