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...

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

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.
