On a 996 Turbo, Range 1 overrevs (6750-7250rpm) are not a real concern (also, you'd notice if you were hitting the fuel cutoff). Range 2 overrevs (7250+) are a concern, but you *can not* get a Range 2 overrev by bouncing off the redline. Don't miss a downshift and you will be fine.

BTW: as for the groceries comment, did you know that McLaren advertised the F1 was so manageable and roomie that you COULD use it to get groceries? Buying a ferrari and not driving it is like buying a house and never living in it, buying a big flat screen and never watching it, and if you knew anything about cars you'd know not driving a car at all is just as bad as driving it too much. BTW: just using the 2005 F430 as an example, and albeit I don't know enough about the various versions to say which is which, but the resell pricing is about half of what they were sold for. So one with 23,000 miles is listed for $98K and one with 7500 miles is listed for 115K. So by putting about 2000 miles a year and enjoying your purchase or driving it rarely at 800 miles per year works out to be about 10% of the value of the vehicle. Well, that's just stupid. Considering they weren't all that special with about 10,000 units made. Now if you have a limited production vehicle like the Enzo or something? That's a different story. But a regular production run, if you think you're sitting on a gold mine and in 20 years you're going to reap millions by having one with 2000K on it, well, you're in for a rude awakening because I see them going through BJ or Mecum all the time and it ain't a Dino.

I could no agree more, I bought a 2003 X50 for $33K 6 years ago and have been tickled pink ever sense. I believe it is dollar for dollar the best sports car in the world hands down!

@Forever Conflicted - They actually were great cars, and were worth what they cost. The biggest problem they had, that we saw, was that after 150k, or if you drove the absolute crap out of them, they were prone to engine oil leaks. For the price, after 7-10 years, they generally weren't worth dropping another engine into them, or doing a full engine rebuild. Comfort wise - my 6' father could drive one comfortably, and my 5'2" mother could drive it comfortably as well. The 5 speed standard also did 50mpg through the mountains. No frame problems, no body problems, no weird suspension problems - just the usual for age. Most of their parts were interchangeable with my Mazda 323 at the time. I suspect that their bad reputation came from people that bought cheap, drove hard, and then complained about them not being the same quality build as a car that cost twice as much. My folks bought two of them - one four, and one five speed - for the cost of one higher quality car. My brother burned out the engine in the 4 speed, but it still took him 4-5 years, and the 5 speed lasted another two or three years beyond that. (he tried to get the engine reworked, but the people he paid to do it did a terrible job and even warped the head. I suspect they tried to bluff their way through it, but it was NOT a standard iron engine. )

Quit worrying Hoovie! You will hurt the mezger engine more by babying it. Also, on the models with only 2 rev ranges, you don't have to worry about range 2 ignitions unless you money shift. Talk to your Porsche dealer if you don't believe me. Range one is no big deal, hitting rev limit is fine. Hitting range two is BAD but it won't happen unless you miss a shift and send rpms past 7250, which can ONLY happen from a money shift. Range one happens between 6750 and 7250 and is no big deal. Although an exorbitant amount of range one will tell a potential buyer the car may have been tracked. Please read this and enjoy your beautiful 996! I am so jealous! Also: if the vehicle is tuned, and rev limitter is increased, all bets are off. So hopefully your 996 doesn't have an ECU tune, and if it does, I would revert it back to OEM quickly.

As a 30 something I way prefer these lights to the round beetle ones. I think as my generation ages, this will be reflected in price. Its just old people who want the round lights of their youth.

I like that style headlight a lot more than the pre-facelift one. But kudos to Porsche for building a supercar-rivaling 911 and immediately neutering it with the little software narc. 👌🏼👌🏼

996 Still has the best pooper of all modern iterations of the 911. As a former 996 owner myself, I personally think it looks dope, with the *first* gen 'fried egg' headlights, but the clear corner euro version. Seriously, take a look at some of those early 996's, it'll really grow on you. Sadly mine blew up after spending more money than I ever thought possible in preventative and regular maintenance - porous cylinder heads. Funny nobody talks about this grenade, as its the most common of them all apparently. Still though, I loved that car... and I cant wait to get another 911. That should be a testament as to how good they really are. It can drain your finances, leaving you broke and empty inside... and you STILL want more. Lol.

This just in: 986/996: Range 1 is recorded ignitions At the limiter, Range 2 is recorded ignitions Beyond the limiter, aka "the money shift" 987/997/981/991 Range 1 & 2 record ignitions at or just below the limiter, Ranges 3 thru 6 represent "increasingly higher engine speeds" above the limiter Hence forth, I personally wouldn't be concerned with Range 1 reports on a 996 or Range 1/2 on a 997, as Porsche themselves will apply extended warranty on those models with those rev range hits as they don't see them as potentially problematic. Something about rev ranges 3-6 happening beyond 200 operating hours ago (with 50 hrs being not enough to verify any damages so keep on trucking until you get up to 200 please folks) will also ease their minds on the motors integrity and ext warr may still be applicable.

Lassi Kinnunen not really. Sounds more like a lot of people don't know what they're doing with a manual gearbox. Sounds also like the majority of customers/consumers are scared into expensive services they may not need.

don’t worry about big brother watching your revs. i have been watching this channel long enough, you’ll blow it up or sell it for a loss anyway. just drive it and enjoy it.

Love your videos and that into music. Reminds me of my child hood.

@Forever Conflicted agreed. The hate is unjustified. I love my 996 turbo!

Just keep the video of you going to 6700 and shifting and it should be no big deal when you resell it. You can’t be afraid of that kind of bull crap and just enjoy your car I’ve had two of these 996 turbos and they are awesome

Exactly. I bought my 996tt planning to drive it. And I love every minute of it! Especially at 700+hp

I’d like to see more purchases like this one. Thank you!!!!

I bet everyone told already, but there is a lot of aftermarket solutions to leave those headlights behind. From a 997-style facelift to just a cover. And from just a different layout to slant-nose rebuilds.

I love the looks of this! Also it looks nice and lean and is not as obese as the new ones...

I think the 996 wide.body C4S & Turbo looks awesome!!!

You can drive it as hard as you want without over revving it. You can bounce off the rev limit all day and thats not an over rev. Unless you miss shift the car then it is impossible to log an over rev.

Hey, get your watch band adjusted

It's a Porsche, it's going to be good. People just need to complain.

Well thanks about the redline computer tip, if the day ever comes that I'm looking at one I'll be looking at that, but I won't care about doing it myself, as I still didn't reach the state where I think about reselling something while I'm owning it.

The nose on the 996 is legendary and absolutely beautiful so I WILL look at the nose, thank you very much!

Stop making smart decisions, no one likes sensible ideas.

996 = Best looking "modern" 911 in my opinion.

Very funny ending - and the engine sounds phenomenal!

Wise words Hoovey, you have got a cracking car there.... Fitting a box to limit revs a tad under factory spec would get around the only “problem” with that car.

Im thinking the car cuts ignition already at redline. My 95 Crown Vic did that. Its downshifting at the while going too fast that is the problem. The engine would be forced mechanically over redline.

The last REAL Porsche. After the 996 the marketing department got the reins and everything went millennial.

Hoovie, it actually might behoove you to get a tune and have them set the rev limiter to a 'safe' RPM.

i actually like the front of that car

I wonder if you can put a vinyl (body color) sticker over the weird wing on the headlights to make them look round. Like, use the same stuff they use for wraps.

Hmm where should I do my review for my 911 turbo? I know the middle of the woods! Perfect.

I am fortunate to have purchased a 2001 996TT in the recent past...and its so wonderful. I think/hope I got a great deal at $44K. Beautiful inside and out...its just a beast.

Great video hoovie

I actually like those headlights a lot and it’s probably because I really got into cars in the late 90’s early 2000’s and the new 911 was the coolest thing ever back then. It defined the new generation of Porsches for me and I find the headlights really unique. What makes the headlights especially cool for me is the fact they even made a GT1 LeMans version rocking them. You made a good purchase Hoovie!

So glad you bought that Porsche, you will have Lots of fun with it :D

I like the 996. There I said it. I never had issue with the lights. The interior I don’t like though. Honestly, it’s what kept me away. I think if you have one or two shifts in the naughty range, you’ll be okay. Enjoy it.
