“Originally I had my heart set on a (2005-2012) 997 Carrera,” says Pasia. That latter fact is what attracted Arizona enthusiast Eric Pasia to the 996 Turbo in the first place. The 996 Turbo’s ease of tuning and relatively bulletproof GT1-based Mezger engine makes it a tuner’s dream come true. After all, there is no shortage of 996 Turbos available for between $30,000 and $40,000 on the used-car market.īut even more impressive than the incredible value that the 996 Turbo offers in stock form is the ease with which it can be transformed into a supercar that can hang with the latest generation of Porsche Turbos and a whole slew of supercars from other manufacturers. All-wheel-drive, a relatively nimble chassis, and impressive brakes added to the equation make this one of the most well-rounded performance cars available in its price category. Though its performance figures are easily overshadowed by the latest Turbo, the boosted 996 still boasts some impressive performance stats: 415 hp, a 0-60 mph run of 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 189 mph. The 2001-2004 996-generation 911 Turbo is without a doubt one of the best used Porsche bargains right now.
