His tone and cadence is Jeremy Clarkson, and his fashion sense is James May. JayEmm also has a knack for finding scenic locations and vibrant clothing. Wearing a shirt more colorful than the countryside which surrounds him, he takes this mildly tuned 996 Turbo for a casual tour to extract the pertinent bits of data for a prospective buyer.

Here’s Why The 996 Turbo Is The Steal Of The Century

7/17/20207:48 estFiled to: Porsche 996, Porsche TurboBy: Tommy Parry

While some of us might've missed the best opportunity to grab one when the 996 Turbo was selling for little more than a well-optioned Civic, it remains a bargain. In its day, its top speed was something special; just five miles per hour shy of the coveted 200-mile-per-hour-mark. But beyond the obvious straightline shove, the 996 Turbo offered a …

This Modified 996 Turbo Covers Ground at an Astonishing Rate

6/12/20209:00 estFiled to: Porsche 996By: Tommy Parry

It's refreshing to see enthusiasts still exploring the potential of Porsche's oft-overlooked 996. Perhaps part of why this generation has persevered is due to the way the 996 Turbo's Mezger motor is quite receptive to tuning. With a few tasteful modifications, a 996 Turbo can out-accelerate many of today's paddle-shifted supercars and get its owner …

Porsche 996 Turbo: Everything You Need To Know

5/26/20208:24 estFiled to: Porsche 996By: Tommy Parry

When the 996 Turbo was released back in 2000, it wasn't yet constrained by nannyism. Its analog steering and relatively simplistic safety systems kept the driver squarely involved in the driving experience. For those reasons, it was still an intimidating vehicle that fills its drivers with some old-fashioned fear. Not only did it have the …

This Is What It’s Like To Own A 996 Turbo For A Year

11/6/20192:48 estFiled to: Porsche 996By: Tommy Parry

No creaks, no rattles, no sagging headliner, and no cracked leather. Even the interior lighting shines bright—don't expect that from BMWs of the era. There aren't many indications that this gaudy orange 996 Turbo has been rolling around this planet for the better part of two decades. It's a resilient car to say the least, though somehow it's still …

What It’s Like When A 996 Turbo Goes Under the Knife for New Coolant Pipes

7/11/20196:16 estFiled to: Porsche Maintenance TipsBy: Tommy Parry

The one chink in the Mezger's armor is its flimsy coolant pipes. For such a bulletproof motor, it seems strange that Porsche just glued the coolant pipes on. Though press-fitted, these coolant lines are known to pop off under high RPM load. Hoovie's lousy luck meant his first trip to Heartland Motorsports Park was interrupted by his own lines …

Though Hoovie hasn't enjoyed the best luck with his purchases, he's a brave soul who never fails to see the potential in his Porsches. His latest acquisition, a 996 Turbo, had to see the circuit, and Hoovie took some additional precautionary measures to help avoid some of the trackday headaches he's suffered in the last few years. After the …

Is Buying a 996 Turbo a Wise Decision?

10/23/201810:24 estFiled to: Porsche 996, Porsche TurboBy: Tommy Parry

The fact that Tyler Hoover picked up another 996 after a painful foray into the range speaks to the value of the car. He first grabbed a first-generation 996 with a 3.4-liter M96, which promptly grenaded. He then swapped in a Chevrolet V8—an LS2, to be specific—for $17,000. What was once the cheapest 996 with a manual transmission was turning into …
