Try 964 again

A few weeks later, TAKURO was frustrated that the car was not delivered easily due to the lack of positive progress reports from the dealers and even a single apology, but it was finally redelivered. ..

This time, the warning lights, meters, wheel balance, seats, and gasoline leaks have been repaired and delivered.Gasoline leakage was caused by deterioration of the packing at the top of the tank, and it was a part that could not be known until it was full.Yes.

After all, even if you have modified it so far, you should think that buying a used air-cooled Porsche will cause some problems.Those who are going to buy a classic Porsche or an air-cooled Porsche should be prepared to buy this kind of trouble.Id.

If I advise anyone who buys an air-cooled Porsche from now on, it can't be helped that something goes wrong, so don't ask for zero. Rather, it is better to choose a store based on the sincerity of the subsequent response and the good response of the exchange. As I always say, the quality of a used car is important, but I think you should buy it by looking at shops and people.

The finest 964 delivered again gives off a wonderful aura.

I immediately tried it on the usual course.

Difference between 16 inches and 17 inches

When you start the engine, you will be surprised at the quietness of a new car. I can even feel the luxury of 993. When you start running, the engine is very torqueful.The 17-inch wheels are quite different from my 16-inch wheels, and they feel quite profound.

I was honestly surprised at this difference. I bought 964WRPIt was said that the 964 was quite different between the 16-inch and the 17-inch, but I never thought it would be so different.

16 inches is just light from acceleration. And the lane change like a whirligig beetle and the agility of movement to the left and right are perfect. On the other hand, the feeling of stepping on the lateral G and the steering response are inferior to the 17-inch.

The 17-inch is a little heavy and heavy from the start.Actually, at this time, I got on the Carrera S of 993 at the same time, but I was surprised that it was very similar to the feeling of 993. The feeling of treading in the middle of the corner is wonderful, and the sense of stability is very high. However, it seems that the grip on the rear is too strong, and it is also a fact that it feels a little under.

This was beforeWhen I was riding the E36 type BMW 318is, it felt the same as when I changed from the genuine 15 inch to 16 inchis. I don't feel that much difference in the current car if it's about an inch different, but it's clear that the car at that time had a huge impact.

The rotation feeling of the engine is still a little stiff, but it turns very well and is powerful. The original air-cooled engine "Sharn! The feeling of turning around is like the future,Perhaps, if you run about 10,000 kilometers, Atari will follow you.

The shift feeling is also outstanding, and you can enter comfortably. It's a slightly longer stroke than the current Porsche, but it has a solid sense of moderation, and although it is not the feeling of the old Porsche Synchro, it has a very good feeling.

Personal.It feels like it takes some getting used to the operation to get into 2nd gear, but once you get used to it, there is no problem.

Bilstein is included in the suspension, and the vehicle height has dropped by about 1 to 2 cm, so the ride quality is a little different from the genuine one. Due to the size of the tires, it feels a little more rugged than the genuine tires, but the ride quality is generally good. The steering is sharper at the beginning, and it gives the impression that it bends as it is without being conscious of the front load as much as the genuine one.

Tiptronic and Manual

The 964, which is manually shifted and run, is very fresh for me.

By the way, to mention the difference from Tiptronic (AT), honestly, the feeling of power is almost the same. Rather, Tiptro can step on the accelerator quickly without hesitation, and once you get used to it, you can freely move up and down the gear with just one step on the accelerator, so it feels faster.

Nevertheless.In terms of speed at a tight pass, the manual with 5 gears will give you a boost.In particular, the manual will accelerate faster in 2nd gear in terms of gear ratio, and the manual will run faster in tight corners.

964 charm

However, 964 is a 911 that makes you want to run as much as you want. The reliability is moderately increased, so you can ride with more peace of mind and comfort. apart from,It is an air-cooled Porsche that retains the goodness of the original 911, and the balance between classic and new is just right 911I think.

After this test drive, I rode my 964 again, but I still wanted to take good care of this car for a long time. The 964 is a famous car. The 911 has a classic ride that the 993 does not have, but has a newness that the 911 before the 930 does not have. That is 964.
