The March Automobile magazine has an article about the 10 greatest porsche
911s...Hurley Haywood listed the MY99 996 Carrera as one of his 10 favorites, along with the MY 05 997 Carrera, MY 07 997 GT3RS.

 

Wow....very nice!!!

 

Finally, some good press about the early 996!

 

hey that mixed with the increase in part prices might make them start becoming worth more

 

Hurley has been driving(racing) Porsches for 41 years, so that must have earned him some credibility with the brand don't you think?

 

Of course the '99's are on the list!!!!
Love mine!!

Hey, the 99 is my favorite too

 

He probably was paid by Porsche to say that

It's about time the 996 gets the respect it deserves!

So many enthusiasts hail the 993 as being the last of the air-cooled, but no one stands up to give due credit to the game-changing 996 model. Over a decade later and the core 996 aesthetics still blow competitive designs right out the door. As classic as the original.

 

I can hardly believe it. A positive comment about the '99 996. I'm going to go hug my C2.

What a coincidence, me too

 

No kidding.... me too!

The only thing better than a '99.... is a 69.

 

I there a link to read it online?

How interesting. I'd be interested in hearing why he thinks that. I like his taste in 911's.

Nice to hear something nice about the 99.

 

He chose the '99 because it was a groundbreaking design for Porsche (water cooled and all). He loved it in the factory videos on the Coochas website too!

Funny, when I picked up my car from the mechanic, it was sitting next to a 997, and my car looked more vintage to me, especially from the rear. Maybe it's my Twist rims?
