What Does it Really Cost to Own a 996 Turbo?

Have you ever been tempted to buy a Porsche 996 Turbo? No IMS issue with that incredible Mezger engine and, if you find one with the X-50 Power Pack option, you get the same power as the current 911 GTS! These Porsches are the deal of the decade, but exactly what does it cost to purchase and maintain one of these powerful 996 Turbos? Back in …

Comparing the Air Cooled Engine of a 993 to the Water Cooled Engine of a 996. What are the Differences?

Comparing the Air Cooled Engine of a 993 to the Water Cooled Engine of a 996. What are the Differences?

I’ve been around air-cooled cars all my life. Both my parents had VW Beetles, so when it came time to replace my hand-me down first car, a ’71 Ford Capri, it isn’t surprising I went for a ’72 Super Beetle. Then years later, after I found out that Heidi had an heirloom 1958 Porsche 356A Cabriolet in the family, I made it my mission to get that car …

How Much GT3 Can You Buy for $23,000?

For a long time, the 996 was ridiculed, and now that I'm more familiar with these cars, I'm struggling to see why that was ever the case. There are the fried-egg headlights, sure, and the potential for IMS/RMS issues with the M96 motor has some prospective buyers gritting their teeth. However, there's still a dynamic, sure-footed, and exhilarating …

RPM Technik’s 996 CSR: Revitalizing the 996 Platform

I find myself growing fonder of the 996 platform with every week, and the discovery of this 996 CSR Retro has convinced me that, despite its age, the 996 has all the performance I could ever want—provided it's freshened up a bit. For a modest price, RPM Technik will put a bit of life in a tired 996 and make it something more akin to a GT3 of the …

Why The 996 Is The Best 911

Why The 996 Is The Best 911

Has there been a 911 generation more polarizing than the 996? There are a few years of 911s which are not well liked (I'm looking at you, thermal reactor cars). From the car's inception through the end of the 993 generation, the most polarizing change was the addition of coil-sprung Macpherson Strut front suspension in 1989. To the Porsche loyal, …
