1978 Porsche 911SC • Lawrence Fitz-Simon • Petrolicious

Awesome video, thank you. I've owned my 81 SC for less than a year. I work in the retail motor industry selling and driving new cars all the time. I'd never even driven a 911 until I flew interstate to drive my car home with my son. It was the (second?) best day of my life. All the negative comments about the "pendulum effect" etc were blown away once I learned the proper technique of driving an old 911. There is so much rear end grip under power it makes me laugh. Like the other comments herein, i can't imagine owning any thing else that is as intoxicating as an air cooled 911. The style, the shape, the interior, the instrument cluster, the Fuchs rims, and then that noise. That howling, raspy, metallic noise as the motor spools up smoothly to the redline. I mean seriously.. It's what dreams are made of.

I've owned my '82 SC for a quarter century. I can identify with every single point you made in this video. Thank you for uploading it.

After watching this, I’m going out to the garage to kiss my 911SC goodnight. Then I’m going upstairs to kiss my other wife goodnight.

I resinate with the feelings shared in this video. I drive a 1974 Targa and I absolutely love it.

this car just puts a smile on my face. the sound of it, the body, the interior. most importantly the steering wheel. its so classic and sporty looking it has no extra buttons on it too much leather. plain and simple but yet so nice. one day i will own one

What I wouldn't give to have my "special" 911sc back in my garage; a deep breath of oil smoke burning off the heat exchangers after a long winter rest. Beautiful video.

After getting out of the service it is my dream and goal to get a sc or the targa, each day I look at a vintage porsche video it makes me want it more. Thank you for posting this. Glad to see someone actually enjoying their car.

Im 20 y/o and have just bought my own 911SC and am waiting for the restoration to be complete. I cannot wait for my very first drive in such a car. Wether its modern, old, or very old, ive learned that almost all cars have a personality and once you notice it, develop that special connection and then learn to give back to the car what the car gives to you, thats when selling it becomes an impossible idea.

have had mine since 1982. i will leave this earth still owning my 1978 911sc. just added a cayenne s to the mix. PORSCHE there is no substitute.

I drove my 79' Targa to work for years. Dead reliable. I have since given it to my son and I now drive an 82' SC

The noise made when an air cooled 911 door closes is such a satisfying sound.

I feel like every vintage Porsche video has a vintage Pepsi in it.

What a great video, Lawrence! Thank you for sharing your passion and story.

The golden era of Porsche stunning example great video 👌

Wish we had those nice roads around Berlin. My SC would appreciate them.

God I wish I owned one

This old Porsche movement (which is amazing), is giving me some ideas about older BMW's. I drive a contemporary BMW M coupe but maybe it's time to look at replicating what you guys are going with these old Porsche's.

Me parece uno de los mejores y más bonitos de todos los tiempos, su línea atemporal es 🤤, y su conducción tan personal. Lo adoro

Good to see more young people finding something remarkable in old analog machines. Instant street cred!

Really interesting video, thanks for sharing. Beautiful car
