Chris Harris is pretty well known and I've watched his videos for awhile now. Out of all the relatively new comers out there that review cars, I'd have to say he is the closest to Jeremy Clarkson in his wit, humor, and overall presentation abilities. The English accent doesn't hurt either. Also he's actually owned a gt3 before so his comparison or reviews of any Porsche should hold more merit.
Depending on what he decides to say could help or further hurt 996 values.
Someone please lend him a great condition mk1 c2 without any nanny controls. Suspension has to be in top notch and "tired" motors need not apply. An for gawd sakes, only cars with proper tires. Am I sounding somewhat like a Ferrari press car? Sorta...
He also drives like Jeremy so I would anticipate needing new tires when he's done.
That is, of course, if he is putting it on a track and not just a leisurely canyon cruise.
I enjoyed this video podcast as Joe Rogan is a GT3 RS Sharkwerks owner and they spend a lot of time talking Porsche

I can't see how as he used to own a gt3 which also has more of a raw feeling like the more nimble and less refined mk1 which he's looking for. As long as it's a 6spd c2 model in good condition, I can't see him putting it down except maybe the headlights and perceived reliability issues.
Wonder if he's also looking for a Boxster for the same story...
I hope its not a visit down memory lane with waterpumpers as that's been done so many times already and he's a bit more top shelf than that. What I'm hoping for is a size comparo...like " look how big and fat the 991 has gotten compared to the 996
Hopefully someone in LA has a well sorted Jahre to loan him w/ Fisters or PSE.
I'm hoping to add a 997.1 GT3 pretty soon, and I can promise you that I like my C4S so much that it's staying put.
Regardless... I love the idea that the 996 is getting well deserved face time.
1) Chris Harris drives more like the stig than he does Jeremy Clarkson.
2) Hes owned more than a GT3. He built a bad *** early car and I believe has owned several other P cars (not sure). Hes also raced and rallied P cars (and many other cars) in various formats.
3) Chris, if your reading this, my car is yours for the taking!
Hi guys. I'm working on this shoot and thought I'd hop in here.
We're not ready to tell everything about what we're doing but if anyone has a car that fits the bill and that they think they'd let us use, PM me.
I can tell you that we're planning on speaking positively about the car and we're not planning on rising it around a race track and destroying a set of tires.
And yes, we have insurance.
