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.

He looks like a douchebag version of Jan Böhmermann.
My mostly stock Subaru makes more power then this and has more miles. Granted I did the headgaskets once
I lost some too
Wowsers!
Everybody knows porsche intendantly puts al lower hp figure on most of their cars. So dome very well maintained cars can still make more horsepower than what is written is the brochure

Wow thats sick
Can’t help but think ‘Yeah its still able to produce the power but if he is that scared to take the car to its readline he will nver make that power on the road……’
228k when it did this… my old K10 Nissan Micra 1.2 SOHC 8v.
Original power-60hp, 70lb/ft.
Dyno-65hp, 85lb/ft.
All it had was a slightly skimmed head from a head gasket.
Your all singing all dancing German engineering kept it’s power.
The crummy little Datsun made power. Tell me more about your engineering. ;)
