Porsche 911 race car driven… ON THE ROAD!
After several months of Porsche 996 Carrera ownership, I've decided I've a pretty good gauge for how it should handle. However, looking through the 911 classifieds, I found a 996 Carrera with a difference: a road legal race car!
How different is a Porsche 996 race car to my Carrera? I decided to find out by visiting Paragon Porsche, who allowed me to take the race car for a spin… on the public road!
Find out what it's like to drive a 911 race car on the public road as I swap my stock Porsche 996 Carrera for its racing equivalent. Ready, set, go!

Thank you! I thin the 996 is fast gaining ground as a good-value, no-nonsense 911.
Mark’s a great guy - I met him when I was about 15 and would like to do so again. I really enjoyed that Lee - good work!

Hi Lee, I've missed your videos. But this is a cracking one for those of us who love all things 911. Cheers from Oz, Peter

Thanks Peter! THere's much more to come, I just need to find the time to do the editing on top of what is a very time-consuming day job. I'll get there, I'm sure!
Looks awesome RAW power and GT3 Suspension👌🏽
Great video well structured and informative, really interested in upgrading from my 987 Boxster S to a 996. Would like to get into a C4S think they look fantastic and have that Turbo body. Watched your video on the one you had can’t stop looking at them. Looking forward to your next instalment, hurry up lol 😂👍👍👍

Thank you! I went to Goodwood's breakfast club last weekend so missed Simply Porsche, how did you find it?
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Credit to Mark and Paragon to take the time to produce this video, thank you both.
What a treat Lee, do you know the spec of the exhaust on that car? Presume racing headers, but is it a factory system???? I have a 98 3.4 manual, and would love a similar system.
What are the parts (part numbers) Mark talked about to prevent oil starvation. I want to track my 996 but have heard too many horror stories about oil starvation in longer turns.

Give the guys at Paragon a call, speak to either Mark or Pete Twyman in parts who will be able to help with that.
Hey Lee, what wheels is the race 996 wearing? Cheers Gavin.
Enjoyed this video , but I’m more interested in how your 996 is coming along It’s been a while since your last video

My next video will provide an update on the car (lots of progress!) but I've written about the 996 every month in Total 911 magazine to keep people fully up to date in the meantime.

How are these builds able to be road driven without an engine fan? I’d love to ditch my engine fan
Price?
Great cars. The race cars seat though looks a bit ridiculous, a bit like granny's big winged armchair..
