How Much Power Will Have This 996 Porsche 911 Lost In 243,000 Miles?
After buying the cheapest 911 he could find - a 1999 996 with a massive 243k on the clock - this guy thought he'd put it on the dyno, to see how many horses have 'escaped' over the years...
We don’t want to drop any spoilers, but suffice to say the result might surprise you. Is it what you expected? Let us know in the comments.

A true testament to Porsche’s engineering :o
Credit to meme generator for the meme
The single most ignorant sentence:
“German engineering”
Reported for spoilers XD
You forgot the swastika badges on the shoulders…
Rudol von Stroheim agrees with that statement
I think it is more Porsche engineering…although my 72 Super beetle ran like a top for the 11 yrs I had it. And yes, some times i did start it with some string and a good pull
Germans: Do you know what really grind my gears? Nothing our engineering is perfect
BMW’s AGR Valves, baby seat brackets and torque converters couqh couqh
damn this made me happy
Ferrari has a horse logo. Coincidence? I think not.
Amazing
German engineering is a funny thing. They design some of the best engines out there, yet their reliability is known for being awful
Mercedes and Volkswagen have the most reliability issues
lol what. Ok some models get a cheap low quality version sold in the US so maybe thats why you think it. However the most reliable cars I’ve known are German. Thats why seeing so many Old VW´s Bmw´s Mercedes etc is so normal.
My inner Porsche fanboy is satisfied.
glad i’m not the only one.
And this is why I would take 300 hp porsche then 500 hp ferrri
“nani nani boo boo stick your head in doo doo….” lmfao what…
