I remember my purchase as if it was yesterday. MSRP on my car was $91,xxx.xx dollars. Dealer offered $10k off. Back in ‘04 that was a lot of scratch. The slight engine upgrade (X51) - only noticeable at higher RPMs, the cool unique polished wheels, the Turbo front facia, the GT3 side skirts, and the unique interior called my name. I was hooked. I enjoyed that car for three years. The longest I ever kept a car - at that point... I recall it was marginally better in every way over my previous ‘99 996. Enjoying your vids as it brings back great memories. Cheers/B

Had the engine off my first winter, did the usual IMSB, thermostat, water pump etc. I have the Bilstein B16 kit, Powerbush polyurethane bushes, Eibach rear AR-bar, three sets of tyres, one set on RS-sized OZ Alleggeritas. I honestly dont think that I feel happier anywhere as driving my 996. I feel free, in control, concentrated, even enjoying sceneries. I feel gratitude beyond words.

Irony is that early cars were all pretty much the same size, until the 996, which felt enormous when it debuted. Incidentally, the build quality also went off a cliff in 1999. When I bought a 996 in 2002 to go with my 964’s, it also felt so much slower on the backroads and so much disconnected from the driving experience. I really feel a well sorted 964/993 cannot be beat for sheer driving pleasure on a back road. That said, my next edition is likely a 992 for daily liveability, and thank god the build-quality is not the plastic, fall-apart, budget experience of the 996... Great video, as always, thanks Sam!

Another great video Sam. As a KZfaq car enthusiast who has never been in a 911 I am full of opinions! I think your video reinforces the point that the 996 is a great value. I like NA manual transmission. I like lighter and smaller. If I buy a Porsche, I think it will either be a 996 911, or a 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 stick. Both are lighter. Have NA manual transmissions. The 718 has the advantage of warrantee and modern interior. The 996 is a contender and offers better value having run out its depreciation curve. I think your 996 is a winner particularly with the modern infotainment system.

@STG Sam like I told TGE, two years ago, "officially", there is no Carrera (2)S version on the 996 Model Range, only the Carrera 4S... Although you could consider the “911 40 Jahre” version, an almost “2S” version, you can't consider it a "GTS", because it doesn't have the "bits" that makes it, an "S" version, like the chassis, brakes and suspensions of the "Turbo" models, which it happens on the "4S" version... Also, it's factory standard X51 Power Kit boosting 345hp, could also be ordered, as an option, on any of the other 996.2 "Carrera" versions, even the "4S", at the dealership... 😎 Best Regards
