GTP Cool Wall: Porsche 911 Turbo (964)

[Clark]

Sub-Zero, only if it runs on the standard fit Fuchs wheels, not the Cup wheels (which never came as an option on the Turbo) like in tis pic.

I think you're confusing the 964 with the 930... those are the correct wheels for a 964 turbo.

In regard to the orginal post with the specs... my Porsche bible states the 964 Turbo kerb weight as 1470kg.

Sub-zero.

Quick and willing to kill you if you mistreat it at all.

That.

Next time you see a Porsche on the road, don't just look at the car, look at who is in it. Then ask yourself if you'd like to go hit the bars with them as your wingman. Unless things have changed and girls lust after middle aged men who can tell them how they need to diversify their stock portfolio and maybe get into bonds, it wouldn't be the best idea.

Still think it's cool?

Good heavens man! You've given your opinion, but don't think you can change someone elses, or tell them how to vote. 👍

I voted S-Z. Even though the RS is worlds better, the 964 is one of my favourite shapes, and round here it is driven by enthusiasts, leaving the newer, softer versions for the midlife crisis men. The only problem is that it has 4WD, which, for a driving enthusiast with Porcshes is apparently a no-no due to a loss of dynamic feel and driver involvement - however it does make it a whole lot safer and gives it much more grip.

Not to worry - I love it to bits.

Oh - and yes - Blackbird

964 Turbo is RWD.

 

[Sharky.]

That.

+1

It's a Porsche, it's a 964, it's a turbo, it'll kill you at every chance it gets. Unbelievably sub-zero.

It would be if it wasn't for the people who buy 911s. I don't care that it's one of the awesome aircooled turbos, I see any 911 and the first thing that comes to mind is "there goes an orthodontist who is having a midlife crisis".

Seriously uncool.

Thank you! Someone else who understands the cool wall. 👍

I agree with you entirely.

Really? I knew they had a C4, so I assumed they would put it into the turbo.

I assumed wrong, and it makes this car all the awesommer.

Thanks.

Yup my mistake, I was wondering why the front bumper didn't look right.

 

[Paulie]

I'm meh, couldn't care much for any 911 really, despite them being nice cars.

 

[kayman]

Love 911's... Want one!

 

[Azure Flare]

A car that is tricky to drive and I want one? A win to me. Oh, and uhh, Sub-Zero

 

[chepu]

Why is Balocco trying to convince everyone this is Uncool.

I see the car as a Whole, See looks cool, sounds cool, its Fun in a sub-zero way, you have to respect it..Point is, that thing is cool and being cool while keeping its roots gives it an instant sub zero in this case.

S-Z 👍

I think the real question though is WTF is up with the sign behind the Porsche?

It's German. You find those signs all over the country, and about around every 100m on the German freeway. I do know what it means, but I do not know the correct English word for it. Let me say it means "Exit", or literally "Out-drive".

 

[opladener]

I would translate it to exit or offramp

And me too. It's a fantastic car, no doubt. But whenever a Porsche happened to pass by in front of my friends and I, we didn't think "what a cool car". We thought "How many people must have got conned by that son of a 🤬?"

Seriously uncool. 👎

 

[YSSMAN]

Absolutely sub-zero. Classic looks, old-school Porsche performance, its a sweet spot in 911 history. Awesome, regardless of what people say.

 

[motortrend]

To hell with who drives them, If you're gonna be like that, ferraris are only driven by people with a lot of money, mostly either people in the music business or people with a giant business, they usually don't care for the car, and IMO, don't have very good taste usually, I wanna drive one, and I don't care what anyone says, to me, thats cool.
Blackbird BTW hehe

But that's because you know what it is. Most people wouldn't have any idea what "that funny-shaped car with a whaletail" is - and because of that they'd think it's a cool car (as they're free of all the badge snobbery when it comes to expensive machinery, so all they see is a cool car. Nothing more). TBH when doing this Cool Wall stuff you need to take yourself out of the shoes of a car enthusiast and instead try and picture it from the perspective of Joe Average. Or your sister.

I know what it is. I was just making a joke about how "Ausfahrt" could be said like "ass fart."
