My neighbor had a Porsche 930 when I was a teenager. I learned to drive in it from his daughter as my instructor ( Daddy didn't know about this). She taught me to keep my foot in it during a turn, never lift off. I loved that car and bought it fifteen years later when her Dad decided to sell it. I still own it to this day. BTW, I used it in driving test at the DMV.

"While the Tatra 87 has an incredible top speed, it seems it handles like a shopping cart. The death toll it took on Nazi officers was so bad, the Allies referred to the cars as their "secret weapon." It even killed more of them than actual World War II". And that's basically the car Porsche copied to kill the drivers. Just a different engine configuration but also mounted in the back and air-cooled

I worked as a Porsche mechanic back in the 80s and the 930 was my favorite. What impressed me the most was the brakes which, which under hard braking, would lock the inertia reels on the seat belts. Porsche was wonderful to work for and always took care of their customer's concerns. They never buried any technical problems but, instead, would immediately issue tech bulletins rectifying any problems. By the way, Colonel Borman of Apollo 8, actually deadsticked a 104 after an engine failure!

I put a stock 3.3L 86' 930 turbo motor in a 83'SC and lightened the car down to roughly 2300lbs. As an ex-intern of Porsche North America's race cars in an engineering program, I tuned the engine and intake to gain a significant gain in torque and hp(about 10%). - 'I am the destroyer of worlds'. I never went looking for trouble, but once pushed up against a wall, that car didn't open up a can of whoop-ass, but a 55-gallon drum of whoop-ass. I have no doubt many a bully on the road will NEVER, ever forget that day of the beat-down.

The history lesson on the F-104 was interesting. I used to fly with Roscoe Diehl and he was Lockheeds personal test pilot for the F-104. He told me that he personally chewed out Chuck Yeager for crashing one of his Starfighters. He said that if Chuck had more of a brain he would have set his trim tabs to neutral and he could have recovered the plane. But Chuck set the trim full aft based on his experience with straight wing planes. Roscoe says he got away with screaming in the face of Chuck Yeager simply because Chuck was military and Roscoe was a civilian making sure the military doesn't wreck his planes.

The F104 was inferior to the EE Lighning which could break the sound barrier in a vertical climb as well as intercept the U2.

To be fair, Porsche's 930 911 Turbo S isn't the first time they created a car way too fast for it's own good... In the late 1960's and early 1970's, Porsche's first foray into proper world-class supercars resulted in the 917... The first prototypes of such had ~600 HP and weighed around 2,000 LBS... And was very unstable at high speeds, of which it could reach up to 220+ MPH on the straights... Former Porsche test drivers have put forward that they recalled the car would wander from one side of the track to the other at 200+ MPH when they held the steering wheel striaght... That's pretty scary, and Porsche had to basically bribe the drivers, because no-one wanted to race in a car that was so unstable...

@williamthornton5856

Yes, all true, but that is only HALF the story. Also the 917 was a pure race car. Never sold for street use. Why are you leaving out the second half of the story ??? Porche FIXED the stability problem by changing aerodynamics, and doubled the anemic 600 hp with the 917-30 which set a record on the Mulsane straight, (which has not been equaled to this day). The 917 10 and then the 917 30 absolutely destroyed any competitors, with the 917-30 passing through 200 mph traffic going another 50 to 70 mph faster than the 200 mph competitors... The pussy officials and people in charge of CAN-AM cancelled the whole series because of the absolute dominance of the 917-30. F---K the people who did that. I would hope if any are alive today, (they would be 80 to 90 + years old) they would read my comment and be offended and upset. I would take joy in that.

@@the.squidd you're welcome

Porsche racer Milt Minter (RIP) taught me to drive race cars. In Porsches, his advice was don’t lift in a corner and in a turbo, get it going straight before you pull the trigger. Good advice that has served me well.

Your talent for storytelling is insane...such inspirational work dude 🙏

Thank you! Will do!

My father was the sales manager of a Porsche dealership when I was growing up. When I was 13 years old, I learned how to drive a manual transmission in a brand-new 930, one of the first 930s in the United States. It was Guards Red.

@@the.squidd I didn't burn up the clutch, but it was a VERY intimidating experience. I was VERY clear on the fact that I was driving the fastest car money could buy, that it didn't belong to me, that it was one of the first ones in the U.S., and that it cost more than many people's homes.

Awesome video - I can appreciate the immense amount of work that went into this. I loved the tangential stories I never would've learned of otherwise!

wow I was just recommended this video and hands down this is one of the most epic car videos i've ever watched on youtube... the storytelling, the editing, the pacing... amazing job, I hope you get 1 million subs by the end of the year

Never thought I'd see a Condor Man clip used in a KZread video. An amazing car video at that. My day is definitely made. Very recently discovered your channel. Loving your content. Please keep it up for all of us gearheads.

Condorman is such an underrated movie. I haven't seen it since the 90's and I never hear anyone talk about it. But as soon as I saw those black Porsches pull onto the street I was like "CONDORMAN!"

15:06 MR2 also involved? Hopefully you make a video about that soon. That's interesting to hear

Absolutely love this Channel, I keep watching every video over and over until the next one comes out. Cant wait to see what car you cover next!

I dont comment on videos often, this is such and out of the box perspective and presentation. You not only spoke about the car but highlighted the mentality of the era which created it.

Dude this is an awesome video, love the comparison to the death trap high performance planes from early America. Subscribed

To be fair Pelle Lindbergh's blood alcohol levels were double the legal limit (at the time of his death) or about .20. 911 or not, his odds of death while behind the wheel of any car other then maybe a zamboni were incredibly high.

such an incredibly made video just like the last two. absolutely killin it and looking forward to what you got coming next.

I saw one of these at cars and coffee last week. It was gorgeous, all black and serious. You could tell it's something special and demanded respect. Great video man you really encapsulated the emotions I felt seeing one of these cars.

The Starfighter was insane, it had so little lift that it needed an insane speed to lift off. A consequence of this was, that if the landing gear was not retracted within a few seconds of lift off, the air speed would have destroyed it meaning landing it was impossible.

Lockheed resorted to bribery to sell it.

I liked the inclusion of the the Starfighter's death toll, especially because it has such a notorious reputation in Germany. If you ever meet a seasoned Luftwaffe veteran, ask them about the Starfighter, there will be stories for a good solid hour.

Your content is AMAZING. Potential to be one of the best car channels ever, period.

I've watched this and the Nissan video, and I've gotta say, your story telling and editing are incredible. These are very well made and paced. I cannot wait to see stories on legendary cars like the Ford GT40, Porsche RSR, Peugeot 203/205, Shelby GT500, Toyota Supra, Ford Mustang or the dominant Corvette.

What a masterpiece of a video. The music, the directness and simplicity of language, the right clips and right time. That genuine love, obssesion for cars. Wow. Genuinely Thank You for your creation. Hat's off.

Good comparison between the F-104 starfighter and the porsche 930 turbo. Since West Germany pilots of the lufftwaffe gave it that nickname (the country with most accidents on that aircraft)

i have driven two 930's over the years...they are certainly quite sporty and you definitely need some rear engine skill and bravery to drive them fast safely, but my 2019 GT2 RS is infinitely more scary and will make you dead in a heart beat if you get even slightly sloppy at its edge.

Man that intro gave me goosebumps. You outdid yourself again my friend, excellent work!
