my dad's bought a black 1973 911s targa. he would take us out on drives at around 4-5 am and i remember always bolting up from bed because i was so hyped. i miss you, dad
Same man my dad had a bunch of 911s throughout his life but the one I remember the most was a 1/2 custom speedster that he sold when I was super young ( I’m only 17). He always used to talk about how he would take his cars to track days with his friends, I always thought that his stories were awesome. We lost him last year and now that he’s gone I’ve become kind of obsessed with Porsche’s, I even managed to track down his speedster, hopefully one day I’ll be able to buy it back, but we’ll see...

The name “Targa”, was a tribute to one most beautiful races ever existed, the “Targa Florio”, which Porsche won many times in the ‘60s and ‘70s. I’d love an episode on the clash between Porsche, Ferrari and Alfa Romeo on the Sicilian circuit!!! Love the show, some genius stuff!

First off they are incredibly unreliable and blew head gaskets monthly. Second there is one generation. The only significant change across the short years it lived was a change from pop ups to sleek headlights. It doesn't exactly make for a good episode. Think before you talk.
Just came back to rewatch this older vid.... One of my favorites. The 911 was also the first car I wanted. Love it. ...and James gives a great performance, as usual. I could watch him explain the history of napkins...or paperclips.
Id never own another porsche but i owned a 73 rsr clone. I will say it had the best steering feel of any car ive ever owned. On the flip side the 4 piston calipers with no brake booster is scary as fuck.
I have a 2011 C4S. Love it. Its torque split lets me hang the back end out a bit, but keeps me from spinning out on the track. 385 horse power is enough to scare me. Maybe one day I'll get brave enough to try a turbo car.
Love the video, 47/10 as usual but I'm surprised you skipped the Porsche GT1. You hit the GT3 and the GT2 but no GT1. I suppose I'm lowering the score to 45/10. It's amazing how the 911 range for 2018 goes from 'about 100k' to 'about 300k'.
1973 Porsche RSR 2.7 RWB and I said 4 so that’s less then what I was thinking he had made, no hate AT ALL towards the over fender god, it’s just that it really doesn’t fit on up to speed. Literally on anything else like the podcast would be much much better.
My Aunt had a SICK 964 turbo back when I was in HS that she had tuned at a local Porsche tuning house. My few spirited freeway runs with her in that car is what started my lifelong love of sports cars and tuning.
The car is literally right behind the green screen. It's our office, we just use the screen because it's easier to put james in pirate ships and stuff that way.
All you need to know: it’s a best car for track thanks to its rear engine placement and steering assistance from the rear wheels, also it’s a good if not best super car to use as a daily driver, that is all you have to really know about it
It's the most legendary, fun to drive and awesome sports car in the world. The Benchmark, period. I am blessed to have owned 5 of the classic era and driven dozens of other 911 models. You never ever get the thrill you get with a 911 with any other car on the planet
The 912 outsold the 911 2:1 in early years. I have had 2 and they are fantastic. You have to keep momentum, but the perfect weight balance eliminated all of the tail-happiness of the 911. Lighter and just as powerful, though, with much less torque, handling was far superior.
i've been watching your videos for some time now and I just wanted to say I love your enthusiasm man! Thanks for the education on Porsche the designations can get SO confusing.
The porsche boxter was first taken down. And recently another one I can't remember which one, probably because of copyright issues. But if that gets fixed they can reupload them again. Would be nice.
Yes I know, it's how most avid Porsche enthusiasts refer to 911's we don't just say an "'02 996 911 Carrera" we just say an " '02 996 Carrera" because we already know it's a 911 we just differentiate the model lines.
the thing is, the 911 GT1 is first a GT1, then it´s a 911 if that makes sense. It is a 911 because it need to be homologated in order to compete in GT1
Yea sorry man. While I agree it's an amazing car, so far there's been maybe 7 years of production spanning 50 years, and maybe 4500 total produced (rough guess). Hardly worth an "up to speed". Watch Demurro or one of those other guys they've done great reviews on the GT

but where's the GT1's? the literal race cars brought to you by the GT1 racing category that also brought out the R390
Mazder_ GT1’s aren’t 911s
Take a look under that rear aerodynamic fairing on the GT1 and you will see a 996 rear-end.
GoldPicard, The 996 is a 911. 996 is the type.
Yes I know, it's how most avid Porsche enthusiasts refer to 911's we don't just say an "'02 996 911 Carrera" we just say an " '02 996 Carrera" because we already know it's a 911 we just differentiate the model lines.
the thing is, the 911 GT1 is first a GT1, then it´s a 911 if that makes sense. It is a 911 because it need to be homologated in order to compete in GT1
Dude, that drag 911 packing the wheels was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
