The other day, I drove an air-cooled Porsche 911, 964C2, in our house for the first time in a while. As I recall, the last time I drove it was last fall, so it had been more than half a year since I last drove it.
My husband has been driving an air-cooled Porsche a lot lately, and every time he gets in
The 964 is really nice, every time I swap the GT3 and the 964 in the parking lot and come back, I think, "I'm going to have to go back to the 964."I still want to go home with GT3 because it's so great.But when I get into the 964, I even think, "Oh, it's such a nice car, I might not even need a Boxster or GT3.
And he says the same thing with a big smile on his face every time (laughs).
Also, our 964 is a Tiptronic, not a manual, but my husband
Tiptronic is fun enough. I think this AT is really well made for this era. Especially after changing the AT fluid, it is even better and I can enjoy the 964's chassis comfortably in town or anywhere. So, I think it's a good thing thatYou can enjoy the luxury of using the 964 as your daily footwear without stress.
I'm happy with the Tiptronic in my current lineup of cars I own.(But if I didn't have another MT car, I'd probably buy one.)
He speaks passionately about such things as
I used to look at my husband a little coldly, but when I got into an air-cooled Porsche for the first time in a while, I was still impressed by the fact that I could drive a Porsche.Really nice car...I was so impressed.
I don't know how to describe it.Ahhh...I guess this is what Porsche is all about...I feel that it is a "good" car. In comparison, our GT3 and Boxster GTS are very well seasoned and staged.
Sure, its water-cooled performance is great and modern Porsches are many times easier to drive, but when you drive a bare-bones 964Simple, rustic, well-made and well-crafted car feel.is amazing.
I have never driven a Porsche older than the 964, so I feel that the solidity, suspension, steering, and everything else may be the origin of today's water-cooled Porsches. Even if I do not drive fast and drive leisurely in the city, it is very enjoyable.
Also, the sound of the engine is "The engine is doing its job well.It has a very natural and nice sound without any gimmicks.
Also surprising.Runs so solid it's hard to believe the car was made 30 years ago.That is. The car feels light and responsive when you step on the accelerator pedal, and it feels so youthful that it is hard to believe that it is a classic car, and it is surprisingly stable even when driving on the highway.
Of course, the steering is heavy, and it can be really hard to turn at intersections at very low speeds.However, the true joy and taste of Porsche driving is concentrated in the analogism of the car.I feel as if I am.
And I feel so happy when I drive it, and I sincerely think it's a great car. My husband also has a lot to say about the 964.
The sound and atmosphere are good, but in additionThe feeling of "driving" is the best part of a Porsche of this era.I guess.
The other day, I was driving on Route 194 in Shikoku in heavy rain, and the road surface conditions and limits are conveyed to the driver as analog information through steering wheel response, sound, lateral G-force, vibration, and so on.
A modern water-cooled Porsche has PSM, and as long as you don't do anything crazy, the car will run better.In an air-cooled Porsche, the car gives the driver information at every turn, and the driver "steers" the car in response to that information.That's why it's interesting.
He says. I see.
One of these days, I'd like to drive this 964 through Rokko and Ashiu!
