Driving a Porsche 944 TURBO For The First Time!

Transcription
00:00All right, pulling onto an on-ramp.
00:10You guys may remember this 944 turbo from the comparison video I did with it just a
00:14few days ago.
00:15Well, today, I actually have permission from both the owner of the car and the dealership
00:20to go on a test drive with it and see how it compares to my naturally aspirated 944.
00:25I'm super excited for this video today, guys, so let's just hop in and get going.
00:28All right.
00:29I can't believe I'm finally saying this, but let's start up the 944 turbo and go for
00:34a drive.
00:39Definitely feels like a lot newer of a car than mine.
00:42Obviously, it's in better condition, but also, I believe, well, it's a newer car too.
00:48It has the updated interior and all that jazz.
00:51I don't feel like I'm driving an 80s car anymore, even though I am.
00:55Mine definitely had that old car feeling to it.
00:57This one does.
00:58Obviously, it's still a 944, but the steering wheel is updated with airbags, so you have
01:02that now.
01:03Obviously, this one actually has functioning air conditioning, which is just crazy.
01:11It's a lot harder to hear the engine, which makes me think it still has a good amount
01:14of sound deadening, which mine doesn't.
01:18So a lot of this is just going to be a comparison video between my 944 and a 944 that's actually
01:24properly fixed.
01:25Okay, that wasn't even 3,000 RPM.
01:39Already feels 10 times faster than my car.
01:41We didn't even get the turbo spooled up, and it's already crazy faster.
01:45So now I'm wondering what's broken on my car, because this is just an insanely different
01:51experience.
01:52I'm thinking there's a short-throw shifter installed in here, because it feels a lot
01:55tighter than my 944.
02:00Whoa!
02:04This is so different from mine.
02:06It's like my car, but comfortable and like 10 times faster.
02:12I'm starting to reconsider the 944 entirely.
02:14This is a completely different car from the stock 944.
02:18Now I see why they cost three times as much, because you're getting three times as much
02:22car with it.
02:23Ridiculous.
02:30Okay, that is too good.
02:36Man!
02:37That is just insane compared to my car.
02:40Dude, mine has never gone even close to that speed.
02:45All right, we're about to turn onto my favorite local back road.
02:49This is where I drive my 944 quite often.
02:52Pretty much every time I take it out, I have to go on this back road.
02:56So it'll be interesting to see how the turbo compares.
03:10Way faster!
03:17It still handles the same.
03:18This one has KONI adjustable shocks and a strut bar installed, so it is slightly peppier
03:24around turns.
03:25Slightly tighter, I guess you could say, but basically the same as mine.
03:31It's entirely familiar and entirely different at the same time, if that makes any sense
03:35at all.
03:36Like it all, at its base level, feels like my car, but dialed up to 11 at least.
03:42Below 3,000 RPM, there's nothing, it feels like my car.
03:45Yes!
03:46And then above, it's so much better.
03:53It handles just the same, which is impeccably well.
03:57I can't even speak, it's so good.
04:03Oh, I need a turbo in my life!
04:06All right, we're about to turn onto my favorite local back road.
04:09Oh, I need a turbo in my life!
04:12All right, pulling onto an on-ramp.
04:18It's like nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
04:20Boost!
04:21I love it!
04:22Part of what makes it so great as well is the sound.
04:24Obviously, the whole thing where it actually accelerates at a decent rate is incredible,
04:29but I love the sound too.
04:31You just get this ever so subtle whistle right behind the exhaust.
04:35It sounds so good.
04:39Very livable too.
04:40This car is far more comfortable, far faster, far more everything good than my car.
04:45So I can definitely see whatever in the comment section is saying,
04:48oh, these cars are, you can daily drive these cars so easily.
04:51Maybe a late model turbo.
04:53I could see myself daily driving this if I turned the AC on.
04:57It has definitely lived up to the 944 hype you see on the forums.
05:01And I always read that like, oh, 944 owners, they're so delusional.
05:04They think their car is fast and comfortable.
05:07What?
05:08Because mine isn't either of those things, but this one, this one definitely is.
05:13And I've had a little bit of a change of heart with 944s.
05:16I'm still probably selling mine, but at least now I know what they can feel like
05:20in perfect condition with a turbo.
05:27Still creaks and rattles like a 944 though.
05:29I love it.

05:36And of course, I have to extend a huge shout out
05:38and special thanks to Dimit Land Rover here in Clearwater, Florida
05:41for providing me with this opportunity to drive my dream car today.
05:44I'll put a link to their inventory below.
05:46And as always, guys, thank you so much for watching.
