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...

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

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. ;)
