1992 Porsche 911 Turbo

The Porsche 911 Turbo has always offered performance that rivals some of Italy’s great exotics. When first introduced in the 70’s the turbocharged sports car received a reputation as a widow maker. Thanks to its turbo lag and the rear engine layout, the 911 Turbo was a recipe for disaster for lesser skilled drivers.

Over the years Porsche’s world class engineering has managed to take all of this away. Using what can only be referred to as technical wizardry, the latest 911 Turbo is fast and yet nimble even for less experienced drivers. Each evolution of the 911 has seen the Turbo change from essentially a Terminator to an R2-D2. The early 90’s Porsche 911 Turbo represents a major step toward the car we have now.

Note: This text is a transcript of the words spoken in the video below.

When you think of a Corvette what do you think of? Freedom? More Horsepower than brains? Maybe, but you probably also think of a 40 something year old man with thinning hair and an expand mid section.

But why is this? Why is the Corvette thought of as a mid-life crisis car?

Dodge Viper and Corvette Z06

When you think of American supercars, there are a handful of cars that come to mind. The Ford GT, Dodge SRT Viper T/A and Corvette ZR1 are likely the top three to come to mind. Of course all of these are out of reach of many of us, but there are a couple of American supercars that are now very affordable thanks to good old fashioned depreciation.

Specifically the 1994 Dodge Viper and the 2001 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. There are a few more years of each that will have similar specs and / or market values, but we are going to focus on these years to keep the numbers simple.

Porsche 986

Over time the struts that hold up the front trunk on a Porsche 911, Boxster or Cayman will start to fail. When this happens it can be quite painful as the front hood will potentially come down on your head.

The good news is the replacement is fairly simple and can be done in about 15 minutes. The parts also don’t cost much as we were able to get ours for just $20.

Porsche 992

The 992 generation Porsche 911 Carrera S is quite the car, at least on paper. The rear-engined sports car has been turbocharged since the 991.2, but it is now even faster. When optioned with the PDK transmission the 992 Carrera S can go 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds.

While not as impressive by today’s very high standards, not all that long ago this was supercar territory. The 911 is very fast and they have made it so the fact that it now uses a turbocharged flat-six doesn’t detract from the driving experience with any noticeable lag.
