I have a 997.2 Turbo S. It’s the most exhilarating car I’ve ever driven.

@carcaveofficial Жыл бұрын

They are incredibly fast, and when that turbo kicks in it really is a hyperspace experience.

Thanks for the review, I believe the real collectibles are the ones with Mezger engine as it is something we will never see again on a street car.

Er no, DFI still being used. Hx aside - who cares - .1 turbos feature spun cams and coolant line failure. Plus .2 are MUCH rarer. Slam dunk for 997.2 TT

@@deanhart8154 Coolant pipes weirdly don't seem to be an issue in the UK, but I did mine when the engine was out for something else and it was only £1200, a trivial sum for a performance car. Spun cam is rare, I don't personally know any owner who has experienced it but of course when it happens we see queries posted online. So yes, it does happen, but I've tracked mine all over the world, racking up 54000 miles and no issues so far. Again, it's just a case of budgeting £4000, which is not a lot in performance car terms. DFI are great cars but if one is a collector, then one will tend to focus on the GT engines, from a pedigree perspective. But all Turbos are special in their own way and I've tended to buy them all over the years, but only kept the 997.1. Which one do you have?

Beautiful car....but I think we all know the manual is the collectable one (the first PDK's will age like tiptronic's). Preference goes to the .1 myself, though there were considerably less .2 turbo's made. But that Metzger engine..., and perhaps I prefer (slightly) the back lights.

@carcaveofficial 11 ай бұрын

I agree, the manual will always be more collectible, unless Porsche randomly decides to gives us a manual Turbo again which is unlikely…

He says that the side vents provide the “necessary cooling air to the engine” when in fact these vents provide the air to the turbos. The rear grille on top of the engine provides the naturally aspirated air to the engine.

@GUMBLLnz Жыл бұрын

Side vents provide air to the intercoolers (not turbos) with the air exit through the rear bumper side vents. These are not for engine cooling as mentioned. Air intake for the car is from the rear deck lid vent.

They did sell some 997.2 manuals. They are rare and expensive though.

996 has 2 cup holders. Just pull it out further. That example has the fixed rear wing. Carbon pack was an option. 997.1 also had vtg turbo chargers

Heads up, the rear wing is the Factory Aero Kit wing, a Porsche part, but Porsche of Carlsbad (original selling dealer) believes this was deed later. This wing is fixed, not operable like the stock wing. I’ve bought a stock wing and rear trunk lid to bring it back to stock. Pending the swap and paint.

I’ve also removed the tint from the tail lights and the black vinyl on the roof. 🤩
