If ever you feel the urge to show your tech-addled friends why the racing of yesteryear was better, these videos are very persuasive tools. In the days before big downforce in Porsche Supercup racing, these lightweight 964 Cups forced a driver to slide, dice, cut chunks off the circuit, and hop curbs to find whatever advantage they could. In a …

Watch this Drift-Specific 964 Go Very Sideways
Though it's not a common sight seeing a Porsche 911 go sideways in such a stylized fashion, this one does look fairly natural doing it. Tuned by KA-TUN, a Japanese racing outfit, this 964 is meant to slide gracefully at speed. To do so, it sports massive wheel spacers, Bride seats (drifters adore them), the toe and camber settings conducive to …

TPC Racing started their racing outfit in the late eighties; refining the turbocharger systems for the Nissan 300ZXs, Mazda RX7 Twin Turbos, Lotus Turbo Esprits and Consulier GTPs of the IMSA GTU series. That sort of background manifests quite clearly in two aspects of this monstrous "GT2"—the paddleboard-sized intercooler, which looks like it …

GT2s excepted, the 964 was the last widowmaker 911 Turbo. Lots of power, lots of boost, and trailing arm rear suspension made for a much trickier Porsche than the 993 Turbo which followed. Even stock, this is a car that wants you dead. As they say; the closer you are to death, the more alive you feel. Of course, the best approach to modifying such …

Master detailer Larry Kosilla recently performed major surgery on his 964 C4. Larry's modified 964 received an all-new roof with no sunroof, in order to shave weight and increase the rigidity of the structure. At more than 3,200lbs, the 964 weighs about as much as a 997 Carrera 4, making Larry's chosen modification path a slightly surprising one. …

We're very familiar with Larry Kosilla's 3.8L 964 Carrera 4. While an unusual choice for a track car, Larry's 964 brings a lot of performance and a fair amount of all-weather capability to the table. Larry began a restoration of his 964 a few months ago, and first posted video of the process last week. Like many Northeast based cars, Larry's 964 …

I'm experiencing a minor love affair with Magnus' 964. Everything about Magnus is extroverted, from his personal appearance to his usual 3-color "boy racer" paint jobs. His 964 is understated by comparison. The paintwork is a simple monochromatic grey, which almost hides the wide array of changes made to the basic 964 shape. From the shaved rain …

Meet Peter Lentz, as a 964 owner and aviator for Iceland Air, he’s a pilot in the true sense of the word. As he says, “I love to drive curves and fly fast.” Peter kind of fell into ownership of his 964. Trying to find an air-cooled Porsche for sale in Iceland can be challenging at best. "I was basically looking for an air-cooled one and this one …

When the 964 Carrera 4 launched in 1989, it was a revolution. For a short time the nearly-all-new Carrera 4 sold alongside the outgoing Carrera 3.2 and the 930. Where the older cars clung to tradition, the 964 Carrera 4 pushed bravely into the future; a future Kelly Moss Road & Race (KMR) is helping to realize. Torsion bars gave way to Macpherson …

Even Magnus has a hard time putting a name on his latest creation. Where his last Outlaw 911 was fairly traditional in many respects, the new Porsche is anything but. According to Magnus this 964 is his most performance-oriented build yet, though it isn't fully updated or backdated. Touches throughout the car evoke legendary Porsches past and …
