the 996 didn´t replace the 964. there was the gorgeous 993 in between which was the last air cooled 911.

The older I get, the better the 996 looks to me. In the era of minimalism full of sharp cuts and edges, I appreciate those goofy round happy shapes more and more. The body looks really nice and that's gotta be the best rim choice possible for this car, it just looks so matchy and complete all together. I also think it was perfect weather conditions for the shoot of this spec. I'm gonna end it here because the more I think about particular parts of it that I like, the more I fall in love with it. Genuinely thank you for showing this one, that was super fun to watch.

Can't Believe 2004 is Already 20 Years Ago That's Crazy

I've always loved this body-style. The simplicity and curves are just magnificent.

Props for doing the drive top down in 38 degrees.  That's cold.  Also, a lesson here-- always spec convertibles with heated seats and steering wheels.  I optioned both in my 718 Spyder and, even in the mid-Atlantic climate, can get (nearly) 365 day top down driving.... which is how that car should always be driven.

0:10 this angle here is beautiful to just sit back and look at the car ; also I can imagine how amazing this would sound with full exhaust system . Catless setup omg 😳

The 996 is finally having its moment. The curves, headlights, even that interior is retro-futuristic. Love it!

the rear end in the c4/4s looks amazing in this generation

porsches 911 from late 90s and early 2000s are probably my favorites

The 996 will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks to playing and replaying over and over nfs Porsche unleashed.

That was such a neat concept for a game, I wish somebody would run with that concept today.

back in the days this car always looked so ugly to me, now i cant get over it lol

i love the 996 Porsche, they look timeless :)

Good on you!   When I was young my dad would take me on a winter drive to the mountains with our 1963 MGA top down heater blasting and it was a ball. Now I do the same thing with my 996 C4s cabriolet with my grandchildren.

I was of the age where I missed the 993 due to being too young, but the 996 and the internet configurator and being in high school & college… this was the Porsche I wanted from being a young adult. Now that I can theoretically afford one, would love to grab one someday.

I think the 996 is finally coming into its appreciation era, especially the C4S! From the rear end, it's probably the best looking 911 ever.

Important to note, the 997 shifter is a considerable upgrade and bolts right in. I put one in my Boxster S.

I can appreciate that Tedward has a penchant for Porsches, but as an owner of a DB 11 and a 2007 Vantage, can’t say that Porsche knocks me out. I like my bar of soap in the shower, not on the road.

996!😍 Neighbor across the street from us growing up had one in pretty much this spec but a coupe and let me sit in it as a wee lil toddler, and it was that moment when the car bug bit me!

Favorite generation of 911. Controversial opinion for some, I'm sure, but if you know, you know. Perfect mix of rugged old style Porsche and modern drivability. 997 is awesome as well, especially the 997.2, but the vibes of the 996 have never been replicated.

Naturally-aspirated for sure, that's how I prefer my Porsches too.
