Suggestion
The driver is thier test driving expert, and on the DVD you can really see he's driving the car at its limits.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

If you guys are in a video watching mood, this one seems to be of a modified 930 being taken around the 'ring in Germany.
Watch how much the driver fights with the steering wheel to keep it on the track.
It is very aggressive controlled driving.
I would suspect that our 996's would require substantially less effort to get similar results.
Enjoy!

I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination; however, I think the driver needs to work on his finesse.
Like I said, I'm not an expert....it just seems like a lot of excessive thrashing.
I am no expert either but the driver is. The video is the yellowbird video inside view. They also had a helicopter for the external. This was basically a PR video for the company back in the early days. There is a great program on the history of the company.
This is the RuF CTR "Yellow Bird", and when this was recorded in 1989 it was the fastest production car in the world, with 469bhp.
RuF recently made this famous film "Faszination" available on DVD, and you can still buy this from RuF in germany. (I imported it earlier this year).
The driver is thier test driving expert, and on the DVD you can really see he's driving the car at its limits. In the new faszination DVD they also show off their yellow 996 CTR.
It's so fast its hilarious.
Enjoy.
smoother.... guys that is smooth in the 930. If you look at his line from the outside, its very smooth. He's an excellent driver with big brass ones!!!
Does anyone know of any "ring" videos of our stock 996?
That is some incredible driving.
Those of you saying, "The driver could have been smoother" need to consider the fact that the driver is sliding around like that on purpose. He has a ton of power on some old-school tires and is breaking it loose on purpose. That is just one hell of a driver.
They still do not where helmets 75% of the time. If you kill yourself there are no f--king lawyers waiting at the hospital looking to extort money from everyone starting with your driver's ed teacher to the Porsche designers.
Heh, similar results...
Patrick Long came to our local track and was giving lessons. Someone had their 930 and he looked just like that video
As relayed to me, he said something like, "the only way to drive the old turbos was to slide them around to keep your RPMs in the zone."
There's more countersteer in that one video than I use in a month of DEs.

Yes, those cars have more play in their steering system. That guy is driving at the limit of that car. His reaction/reflex is just awesome and like second nature to him to keep the car on the pavement at that speed. You should see the outside video of that from a helicopter, very smooth and the car drifts a bit on corners from being pushed really hard.
FYI - the car in the vid is not a 930. It's a standard 911 chassis with a RUF modifications and vin. The rear flair was widened about 1" to accomodate slightly larger tires. Front fenders are stock.
