996 Turbo: The Porsche Worth the Risk | with Andy from While You're In There

The 996 Turbo is the most supercar you can buy for sports-car money — and the one a lot of people are still too scared to own. So Derek sat down with Andy from the "While You're In There" Youtube Channel to settle it: is the bargain-Turbo reputation real, or are those coolant pipes a clock you'll regret ignoring?

They get into the Mezger engine and why it sidesteps the IMS and bore-scoring drama, what these cars are actually like to drive once they're dialed in, and exactly what to look for before you buy one. Plus a detour into Andy's 987.2 base Boxster — the port-injected 2.9 nobody talks about — and the auction that sold it for nearly double.
