Just sold my 991.1 GTS having owned it for three years, amazing car used on track days and European trips. Lucky enough to have traded it for a 991.2 GT3 and love it.

I am only 18 and I wish that one day I will be able to own one of these, 991.1 gts or 991.2 C2S. 911 is the car that I would choose instead of Ferrari 488 or Huracan due to its timelessness and performance. Great video!

Hi Roger, I have recently been searching KZfaq on the pros and cons of a 991.1 GTS over a 991.2 GTS and came across your review. I know I am late to the party and this is my first ever Porsche, but have just bought myself a 2015 991.1 GTS with a NA engine. Although it was a hard choice for me, it was the engine sound that veered me towards the .1 - just hope it doesn’t depreciate too much now ! Thanks and have subscribed.

So it’s a keeper, altho’, whilst having PSE, I’ve been thinking about an after market IPE system, just to release a bit more aural delight, altho am not a fan of artificial pops and bangs!

The 911 has so much more power overall, the Cayman GTS 2016 is quicker and lighter, but I choose the 911. You are so fortunate to have a cool wife that does track days with you. Blessings!

2:05 'Practical super car'..Well not always. I got a flat tire on my Porsche 911 on a road trip and it was a nightmare. It happened on Saturday night while I was 300 miles away from home and of course Porsche does not provide a spare tire. Tow truck took me to the nearest repair shop which was already closed and they were also closed on Sunday. So Monday morning they tell me they do not have my size tire in stock but they will have it by Tuesday. Trip was completely ruined because I had to stay in a hotel and wait for a tire for three days instead of enjoying my trip. Thanks Porsche. All of my road trips are now only in cars with a spare tire.

So when you went across the Channel into Europe and you'd packed all the bags, where did you put your ONE solitary bag? I'm just assuming that all the bags we saw you packing were for the Blonde Stalker (Who, to be honest, didn't look much of a stalker anymore!!??). :-))... And I do have one question about tyre replacement. What happens when you go to your porsche dealer to have a tyre replaced? Does the black come off everytime and need to be re-blackened? So wheel comes off. They replace/repair tyre. Wheel goes back on. You/They notice it needs re-blackening. Wheel comes off. Gets re-blacked. Wheel goes back on. But the blacks been rubbed off again. So wheel comes off. Wheel is reblacked. Wheel goes back on. But you/they notice the blacks come off. So wheel comes off. Gets re-blacked. Wheel goes back on... This could go on forever!! One thing you mentioned that is true. The 911 is the only daily driven supercar you can still buy. Great video RB. Your No1 (And now only!) Stalker :-))..

Thank you for the very informative videos. I am have been toying with the idea of a 911 for sometime now and have narrowed it down to the GTS. What would you suggest are the must have options to help reduce the inevitable depreciation (albeit I appreciate you mentioned having only suffered a £2k loss in your ownership). Do you still believe the the 991.1 NA car to be the better purchase over the later 3.0 GTS You have gained a new subscriber - keep up the great work.
@RogerBaileyOnCars3 жыл бұрын
Hi Callan welcome to the channel, good to hear you are considering a 911, they are all good especially the GTS. IMO the 991.2 is the better car with the exception of the engine feel & sound - 991.1 sounds amazing and the 991.1 holds it's value better, a good test drive of both is recommended, values seem to be dropping a bit lately. Re options the GTS interior pack is desirable, check for smoke on hard acceleration with the 991.1 - let me know - Roger

Good for you Roger! I know you hinted at getting offers to near what you paid for it in your 7 ownership things video on the car. With an offer like that I would have done the same! So now you are done with the red GTS too what’s on the horizon? Cannot see you in a SUV as you seem to be too much of a petrol head like me for that. So a 992? Or maybe Porsche Chester have gifted you with something I and several other Porsche lovers can only dream of - an allocation for the 718 Spyder or GT4?

Can you share how you keep your GTS clean? Do you go to car detailing wash? And is the separate tire and rim insurance worth it or could you have just use the overall insurance on the car?
@RogerBaileyOnCars4 жыл бұрын
Psyche I had a professional valeter come and machine polish it which noticeably improved the finish, and I wash using the minimum contact two bucket method, tyre & rim insurance is a good idea having these centre lock wheels which are difficult to remove otherwise I don't think I'd bother. I've recently started using the new Turtle wax hybrid ceramic range which I find an improvement over traditional polishes. - Roger
