I like this guy. He leaves nothing on the table. I’m not left to wonder. I’m left with answers not questions. Job well done.

I would have liked to know what it weighed, not much probably.

@CoolCarVideo 2 жыл бұрын

904 Porsche weight is probably 1,550 lbs. which is about 100 lbs heavier than the original 4-cylinder car.

@@CoolCarVideo Thanks. For comparison that's about 703KG, about half the weight of a 987 Cayman.

One of my SCCA sponsors had a 904 which eventually had 212 HP. This, according to his dealership manager and racing partner, an RSK owner, was due to head work carried out long after the 906 was in production. In 1965 these two finished third overall and second in C Modjfied class in the Marlboro 6-Hour, sharing a 356C 1600 SC.

I remember the Marlboro racetrack! We used to see Cobras getting airborne coming off the oval onto the road track. Very twisty track, the V8 cars were a handful there.

Nothing like the 4 cylinder 4 cam. Nothing like the sound inside the car.

I wish I could one a 904/6 some day! A replica of course, but they are still unbelievably expensive..

Always loved the 904 from the first time I saw one! Love all Porsches, a 356 coupe would be a dream come true!! New sub👍🏻✌🏻

This is a pleasure to watch. I just thought why would he have given away the Targa-Mans type. Probably to buy and build the lofty premises we are looking at :). My orange 904 was from a 'Stabocar' Slotcar track, also sadly lost. Thankyou.

Great video, I'm a big fan of the car and learned a lot. However, as amazing as the car is, it does not hold a candle to those socks.

IN MY IDEA AND I THINK, PORSCHE 904 IS PORSCHE CAYMAN GRAND PAPA ! OR PORSCHE CAYMAN FATHER ! SHOULD BE ! BECAUSE SAME DNA, SAME BLOOD, SUCH HANDSOME AND BEAUTIFUL BODY, SAME CAME FROM POWERFUL PORSCHE ENGINE ! UNTIL NOW EVEN BEEN PASSING THROUGH SO MANY YEARS, STILL THOUGHT, STILL FAST, STILL RUNNING, BECAUSE HE IS PORSCHE ! NATURE BORN RUNNER, NATURE BORN RACE CAR, BORN FOR SPEED, RUNNING ON THE ROAD AND KEEPING RUNNING !

Here he is talking about a roll bar while sitting directly behind the fuel tank. Not a fuel cell a fuel tank. Smoke much, hope not.

@jockellis 4 жыл бұрын

Not long after the 904 was designed, the soft fuel cells came on the market and were retrofitted into most race cars. I bet he has one.

I love this car, for what it is, what I don't love is this guy desperately trying to pass it off as a genuine replica, which is an oxymoron.

@2Truth2you 4 жыл бұрын

He never said it was original. But it sure is a genuine replica. Pull you head in dude.

Wow. You own a really awesome fake, er copy. I'd drive it. Too bad you sold your original Porsche.
