Manual Porsche 911 Turbo (996)

I had the opportunity to tinker with an automatic 911 (996) Turbo last year in September, before I returned to the states to complete my education.
My previous post can be viewed at Porsche 911 Turbo (996).

This time, there is a manual 911 (996) Turbo.



This car is such an easy and fun car to drive. Power comes in so early, 1500rpm and starts pulling from 2000rpm onwards.




As many of you would know, the 'nine eleven' was heavily based on the Porsche Designed, Volkswagen Beetle. Which is why, some people stuff old Porsche engines in Beetles.




The 911 (996) Turbo onwards were now water cooled, and many say this car was a major leap for Porsche.




Porsche have know to have some of the best brakes in the business...
