I bought an excellent condition 996.1 about 13 years ago for a ridiculous price. It had 26k miles on it. I took a look at the seller's market today and the prices for 100k miles are even more than what I paid years ago. Glad to see the 996 getting the love it deserves.

The gen 1 headlights are so much nicer than the gen 2. Gen 2 look like Sally from the Pixar movie. I love my gen 1 lights, and when you look head on you can still see the frog eye's Magnus your video just probably saved 996 from a virus price crash ( maybe) Funny thing is if you've no plans on selling you don't really care what it's worth, just how much fun it is.

Very nice video, nice car and nice road. Thank you Magnus. I just (December 2023) bought a 1999 996.1 with an aero kit in guards red with 47 k miles in mint conditions (a 2+ according to Classic data ), like the car from Magnus. In addtition, my car has the WLS (factory power kit, option X51), which brings the engine up to 320 HP, as well as the 18'' GT3 wheels (option XLR). Further, the car is equipped with a lot of options from the Porsche Exclusive Manufactur, e.g. Alcantara steering wheel, Alcantare roof and full leather interior with guard red stitching . Although the car is in collector conditions, I bought it for driving. In Germany we have still some remote areas with twisty backroads, where you can squeeze out a car without violating the German speed limit. So, I plan to do some Hyphen rallys in 2024, as well a a trip or two to the Nürburgring. PS. Hyphen rally is named after Derek Tam-Scott from the Carmudgeon Show (see episode # 50).

Great Vid Magnus. I just bought a 10.97 RHD 6 Manual Carrera 2WD in Arctic Silver Metallic. It has the standard suspension and I just changed the mounts to 993 RS semi solids ... it handles like on rails, and accelerates like a scalded cat. The 3.4 is a sweet and very revvy motor. Have owner a 71 T, a 930 and a 2.7 MFI Carrera before this, and I must say this car trumps them ALL for smile per mile.... I know it's fashionable for Porsche folk to hate 996's, but I am pinching myself to have bought such an amazing hard driving sports car for the price of a Toyota Yaris GR .... GO the 996 !!!!

From traditional 911 design language point of view the 1st gen 996's exterior design just isn't pure enough. However, from automotive design point of view, both the practical and theoretical sides of its design can be said to be the best 911 exterior design. And the 1st gen 996 also has the best overall handling of all the generations inc. the current 992 gen.
