damn, I've been wanting a c4 964 or even a 993 for a long time now and I think you just confirmed the one worry I've had.

(I'm 6'7" )

Look @ a 996...Bigger car. I feel like a wear early 911's (- '89's)

Good to know

I've had 2 Porsche 964s. Great cars, and bullet proof. Neither of them leaked. The RS America was supercharged and was simply a rocket. I highly recommend driving one before committing to buying a Porsche. They are so different from just about everything else on the road. And a lot more fun!

note the Euro tails

Those aren't "Euro" they're just faded, hehe. Pretty common on 964s

INCORRECT.

American tails are red.

This car has amber tails, that are mostly red, with a hint of amber. They flash amber.

They say the later the 964 the better. Early models were prone to teething issues, but they can and usually have been corrected/updated by now.

I think about 964s as well, though I'd be looking at a plain jane C2. I don't know a ton about the 3.6, wondering if the valve adjustment is as DIY -able as it is on 2.0 to 3.2 liter engines?

My next 911 just might be a 964 for the simple reason that it retains much of the earlier styling cues but has 3.6 grunt, G50 gearbox, coil over suspension instead of torsion bars etc.

Just wondering if I'll be able to realistically afford upkeep.

Is this tail light "Euro" in your opinion? It is even more amber than the one in your photo:

BTW, the part numbers for the "Euro" and "American" tail lights on 964 cars are the same. There is no difference.

Are these cars friendly towards tall drivers? 6'8" and wondering if I'd even fit inside one. Just curious.

They are friendly towards sweaty drivers. The A/C is very, very, very much improved over previous models.

I love 964s.

note the Euro tails

Were all Carrera 4s widebodies? This has the wider body of the Turbo. At least the 30th anniversary edition of the Carrera 4 had the widebody, that I know.

Edit: I guess this answers my question:

So the black one above is probably the 30th anniversary edition, then.

Oh crap. I can't get my eyes off of something like this. The 964 is just the most beautiful 911 ever. And when it's lowered a bit and on 18" multi-piece OEM wheels, it's just perfection.

**Obin Robinson** · 11-22-2009 03:56 PM

long story short:

the ONLY streetable 964 i would ever consider purchasing would be one of the extremely rare 964 street cars which used the 964 Carrera Cup car chassis. there are a few out there and they're superior to the standard 964s. there were only 45 of them sent to the USA.

other than that, i like my oil IN my engine, not on on the ground.

All 1994 C4s are widebodies.

TRUE. BUT...

With it being a short production year, with the 993 on the way, they are very rare with around 264 being built for the US, they aren't that common.

Keep the 964 love coming - bookmarking this one

Yeah, Greg's is a cool 964. The red one on BBS rims is owned by Darren from G-Werks (used to own a green TT on flat black Maybach rims). Another ex-TT (gray TT on Bentley rims + air) - owner Norm Shum is just completing this after a complete respray. Should be nice.

Darren's

Norm's

One of my favorite 964s

**Phunkshon** · 11-23-2009 10:46 AM

A chop I attempted a while ago. Suspiciously bright rims lol

**Phunkshon** · 11-23-2009 10:50 AM

This is where I 'borrowed' the rims from. Love this car!

I think I know where to find some better pics.

**Phunkshon** · 11-23-2009 11:23 AM

Marco Haeger, who built possibly the best Mk1 Golf ever, moved onto this 964. Porn IMO

**dubsport87** · 11-23-2009 11:41 AM

^^^^ that is quite nice

Thanks. More sideshots on Darrens car would be nice. You know the specs of the LM's?
