Normal manual Carrera S or a GT3 .. cant go wrong but not a csr

GT3 Touring for me

GT3

Hmmm, I love this. Have had both 997.1 and.2 but GT3 for me please..

Have they removed oil system flaws? I would just get 997.2 or any 997 GT/Turbo.

More the Magnus Walker look myself.

Why didn't you think to yourself "hey, everything that's been done to this is inherently not special, not bespoke, and has probably been done to several 911s by owners with deep pockets who like simple modifications" There's an inordinate amount of cars that have this level of detail put into them by owners who take them to one or several shops and iron out the looks, feel, and performance to make it their "own". The fact that you and so many other fanboys are just drooling over a quite simply mundane (in terms of complexity and originality) car is just laughable. Guess anything with the right journalist at the wheel will have the plebs sold.

@@aiGeis This is what I was thinking the whole time. All of the modifications can be sourced and done independently for much less, likely.

@@aiGeis Is there something wrong with appreciating the car? It's looks incredible, it's cohesive in design and style, and it's very much to my taste. Doesn't matter to me who made it or how much it is, I appreciate it. If I see some other one like this that was done by some individual for his personal use, I'd appreciate that too.

But without a CF body and insane price tag, it's not a Singer!

Thanks for reminding us you are living in fear:)

Precaution isn’t fear

@@computerhelpcc this is not responsible thinking People on their own in car are risk Please try to think without govt controlling your programmed mind

@@popsbubbles1242 is that what you really meant to say? Think you should have added are not a risk?

@carfection you filmed it last week! 😉

Gabor Csuzdi, I agree but still think it looks ace

Yeah looks pretty stock overall, even the wheels looks classy 👌🏼

This this an appearance package with bolt ons... Bespoke means you can pick colors and which parts they will buy to put on?

It was already good before when they were xcar but with the addition of Henry, it's getting better and better

At this point, more like Porsche lovers.

It's for sure one of them. Very enjoyable, and one of only a few that I'll watch at work😍

Famous last words

??? Why would You not replace the "rubbery bits" ?? 🤔

M. Sund PLENTY of used sports car owners simply won’t bother as the labor cost is 4-8x costs of parts.

^ just clicked on your channel; really good content. Nice Porsche also.

eSysman your GT2RS is really much more than the snakebite. They need to review yours! Cheers.

So interesting to see one of my favorite yacht channels commenting on one of my favorite car channels...🤣...always wanted to know more about your porsche...

That car is like Porsche's version of an M3 CSL. A generational Holy Grail.

Agreed, my favorite Porsche of all time

@Joel Schembri Yeah the gearbox was a dissapointment. I would definitely do that if I had a CSL

I just did! With 997.1 C2 manual 3.6 with Carrera Sport 19 inch wheels, Ohlins Coilovers, GT3 short shifter, lightened flywheel, stainless aftermarket sport exhaust (not PSE), ducktail spolier, sill graphic "Carrera", in GT Silver. Then broke my ankle 2 days later so hardly driven. Yet. 10-12 weeks no driving manual car :(. Main concern is future bore scoring - but the car is so special that I'd do a rebuild. That engine sounds SO much better than the DI in the 997.2.

I agree. He is one of the best car journalists of the last 30 years or so.

You have a wonderful car sir 👍

the base 997 is hardly plodding along! I have one with tasteful mods(coilover, short shifter, lightweight flywheel, exhaust, ducktail) but standard 3.6. The 3.6 is allegedly less prone to bore scoring than the 3.8 but I can't find any evidence to back this up. The old vulnerable IMS was replaced in early 2006 with a new larger IMS which only extremely rarely fails BUT is within the crankcase so if needs replacing the crankcase has to be opened. Bore scoring is the main worry (as it is with the 996 and even the 997.2. There are steps you can take to minimise the risk, but I suspect that eventually it may become inevitable that most will score as they get older with high mileage. By then the car will be such a classic and of such value that the engine rebuild will be worth it. Consider it a possible future "service" item :). The S is faster, but not by a lot, but the increment in speed is not relevant when the reason for driving one of these cars is the driving experience, connection and analogue thrills. The sopwatch is irrelevant :)

I came to the coments to see if anyone had noticed ☝🏼 It seems to be coming from the steering column.

Glad someone brought it up. Seat I think.

He responded that the noise is coming from their camera mount.

We could but manufacturers wouldn’t like that.

Yes please 🙏🏾

The 997 is fast enough for most people especially on the road.

Chao anh viet nam

That’s our camera mount!

@@Carfection ah OK! I did think it was odd for it to be so well restored and to leave that creak.

MrRed Hat they keep that for special additions.

there was a Ducktail as factory option for the 991.1

Joel Schembri a GT3 sourced engine in that car would be killer...
