1999 - Storyboards

In this head-2-head of old-school modern, find out how the analog 911 GT1, compares to the latest hybridized supercar from Ferrari, the F80

A homologation special for FIA GT1 racing, the GT1 is like no other 911

The GT1 is motivated by a Mezger engine - the M96/80, propelling it to over 190 mph, with some claiming more

The only mid-engine 911 features a steel tubular frame with mostly carbon-fiber body

The Porsche 911 GT1 Street packs 544 horsepower and 443 pound-feet, along with a 6-speed manual

The Ferrari F80 is a tech fest on wheels that sparked a lot of controversy

The Ferrari F80 features 2 electric motors, each powering the front wheels

The Ferrari F80 packs a combined power output of 1,184 horsepower

The F80 features an F1-inspired interior and a driver seat in a different color

Production of the Ferrari F80 is 799 examples, each costing $4.0 million

But the Porsche 911 GT1 Street is even rarer - just 25 road-going examples. The last time a GT1 went on sale, it was for $7.045 million

Most examples of the GT1 Street were finished in Arctic Gray and featured the 996 headlights

YouTuber Danny Z bought a beat-up 996 Porsche for $10,000 from Copart Auctions

While he added a GT3 body kit to make it look better, there was a lot to be desired

The handling and soundtrack needed work, and Danny made some DIY upgrades

He swaps-out the stock suspension with inexpensive H&R springs

The H&R springs are much thicker than expected and are made in Germany

Accessing the rear spings was even done from inside the cabin, under the rear seats

The replacement aftermarket springs cost Danny just under $300

Danny installs spacers for the wheels, to improve the stance of this 996

However, installing springs proved trickier than expected, but well worth the effort

Now for the good stuff, the $110 hack that makes this 996 sing

Danny takes the controversial muffler delete route on the exhaust

Quad 996-Turbo-style exhaust tips added for a visual upgrade

As a final step, Danny also replaced the filthy spark plugs and coil packs

The car now sounds and (hopefully) handles better

Swipe up to watch the video and hear how this 996 now sounds.
