Get to know your 996 Turbo - The best review videos
For those who are not familiar with the Best Motoring series from Japan (Japanese Top Gear, but strictly car testing), I wanted to share this review, it's the best one I've seen. It tests pretty much everything and goes down to the technical details of the car as well. I really enjoyed in Part1 when he drives the Turbo in the winding road, what nice slides! Here is the review of the original 996tt:


996 Twin Turbo Part1


996 Twin Turbo Part2


Here is another one from them of the 996tt vs the 360 Modena and R34:


996 Twin Turbo VS



ENJOY!

I found those a while ago, and have watched them over and over again. Here are 2 others:

Japanese vs the world

Carerra Invasion

The old guy, Gan-san, cracks me up. The other, younger drivers are scared to death of him.
