We have a bunch of comments suggesting to search on eBay. But there is a newer and likely better option if you want to check it out blog.theretrofitsource.com/porsche-911-and-997-get-new-modernized-led-headlights
I have a 2011 Turbo S. It’s a weekend car, I wouldn’t want to drive it every day because I don’t want to get “used to it”. It’s so much fun to drive I still get giddy every time I start it up.
those new headlights look like they were taken from a 992... can we try to get the name of the company who makes the headlights the guy in your video has on his car? they are absolutely awesome, where the one you are suggesting seem to have been taken from a newer 911 which i am sure the people here do not want :-)) @@thedevthing
It’s a funny thing about a Porsche, there’s the moment you know you want one, there’s the moment you first own one, and for the truly afflicted, there’s the decade or two that passes in between. 997.2 is the best water-cooled 911 period. Beautifully done. Thank you.
Appreciate the feedback. Owning a Porsche is an experience for sure and it’s rewarding to drive. 🙌🙏😃 Appreciate the support and stay tuned for more 🙌😃🙏
I knew I wanted one when I was 12 and saw a yellow targa for the first time in Commando. It only took me 30 more years to get a 996tt cab and a brief relationship with a cayenne turbo mid way 😂
@mikegregory8353 mid engine layout is so playful and balanced. The 911 might feel lazy n comparison. But driving a 911 is a unique experience. Would be awesome to have both 😃
@@dr.maxpower8860 Only the turbo and it was the same as the 996 turbo so imho you'd be better of with the 996 turbo. Sure it has the questionable headlights, but the 997 is just very bland and what's not spoken about enough is how ugly both 997.1 and .2 rear lights are.

Your video work is so exceptionally good. People have no idea how much work you put into this. But I can tell it was a labor of love and commend your for your hard work and creativity!!
I love these kinds of videos. I remember seeing one of your first videos when you were up at the lookout in Gatineau Park. The 997, the last Porsche where when you popped the engine lid, you can actually see an engine, much like my 993 Carrera but unlike my 991.1 Carrera 4 GTS, both manuals. The more sophisticated these cars become, they seem to be aimed at "key turners", a phrase I coined well over a decade ago because the newer these Porsches get, owners get them serviced instead of working on them which I find so enjoyable. Some of us Porsche fanatics start early, as in when I was 10 years old and it took 42 years to own my first Porsche, thanks to an accident where my motorcycle got hit from behind (damn mobile phone user) while I was stopped in traffic during my annual Alps motorcycle tours. Life can be short so time to get the car I always wanted. I can relate to that Porsche Commercial video at 7:05. I downloaded that video ages ago; it is a keeper. That and "An Early 911" video on TH-cam. Some of us are really Porsche obsessed having been to the Porsche museums a few times each as well as the location of where the first 356 was built in Gmünd in Kärnten, Austria. I also stopped in at the summer residence of Porsche where the small chapel on their property laid to rest the family that passed away. Many owners have no idea what Ferdinand Porsche and his son Ferry had to go through during two wars, the jail time and struggles. So many books on the history of the owner and the make that anyone that is obsessed should read. Most Porsche owners are picky but that guy who did the Gundo Hack at 9:30 needs to learn how to weld. Hell, my oxy-acetylene welds look as good as any TIG weld. Love looking at some of the garages and their size in your videos. I have two 911s and four motorcycles in a standard 19x19 foot garage and trust me, it is tight. LOL But not bad for a guy that grew up on the other side of the tracks. Glad to see Peter found the car that he always wanted. Now lets see how long he hangs onto it.
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing your story and supporting my channel. I love what Porsche 911 offers as a package for the driver and how it fits into any lifestyle. 🙌😃🙏🙏😃
My story is soooooooo similar to his story.. I have an affinity for these cars.. I currently have the 987.. Saving to buy the 911. The car I have dreamed of since a kid!! Your story is a true inspiration 😊 Thanks for sharing..
100% relate to the statement "it feels like a cockpit" I owned a 991.1 and the airiness within that car just didnt sit right with me after owning a 997. Sold the 997 and major regrects, thankfully back in to a 997 and the way the interior/cockpit wraps around you is special
My 2005 Carrera looks exactly like this one -- less yellow calibers and belts -- and I can tell you from experience, the driving feel is awesome. A classic and modern car all rolled into one. Also, notice that his (as well as mine) rear wing stays concealed at speed to preserve the classic look. Point to ponder: 2005 = easily fixed ims.
@@911obsessed Hi, I have an identical 997.2 with all the same mods except for the headlights. I looked on ebay, but only find units listed for 997.1, there are none listed as being for the 997.2 - exactly WHICH ONES DID YOU HAVE INSTALLED?
Appreciate the feedback. I have reached out to the owner and we are going to try do a podcast style episode where we will dive in to the build in detail and go over all the major mods and where he got it from. Hope that will be good

gorgeous 997! It is really elegant and powerful with the mods you did. I have a green Carrera 2s myself and am in love with it. It is the best generation with a compromise between digital and analog. And I agree that the 991s and 992s are VW 911s, not Porsches anymore. Can you tell where you got the headlights and the front lip? thanks.

He should really look into Ferrari 355. 5 valve engine, ITBs, dry sump, 8500 redline. The engine alone is a masterpiece and the design is second to none. Lighter than a 360 with near the same power level. Awesome 997.2!
My goodness, what beautiful photos @911obsessed Peter Nowacki takes! And one of the coolest looking 911's I've ever seen. The silver color, custom headlights, stance, yellow seatbelts matched with brakes, and brushed wheels gives it an extraordinary look! Yet, a little low to the ground for Charlotte roads. I'd tear the front of it off in a day... Cheers and thanks for the fun video
I’ve owned my 997.2 C4S 6-sp cab for close to 10 years and have never tired of the car. It’s a beautiful, balanced car and inspires confidence every time I sit in it. I recently added an 86 3.2 M491 targa - superb car - to my collection and another keeper. They are recognisably similar cars but the driving experience is unique in each. I’m still learning to drive the 86 and getting comfortable with it. Old school 915 transmission which I’m surprisingly really enjoying. Feels like a throwback to porsche racing history and a very close connection to the transmission and engine. Feel blessed and hope to inspire my son to keep these cars (and the others - classic Alfas) when the time comes to pass them on! Good video - thank you from Kuala Lumpur! Best, David
Appreciate the comment and love your collection of cars. Hope your son will start to appreciate these cars. We need the car enthusiast culture to carry on to the next generation 😃🙌🙏
@@thedevthing thanks! I also drive a fully restored (nut and bolt) 1973 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 and am in the process of restoring another 1973 AR Guilia 1600 - which I’m resto-modding : fast road 2000 Nord engine and intend to upgrade suspension, exhaust and brakes. Keep up with your videos! All the best, David
@@911obsessed What offsets are the BC forged wheels, I am about to do the same with a 997.2 I pick up next week. I never leave anything alone either, my place is KWv3 suspension with H&R roll bars, Miltek exhaust X pipe, I like your front lip spoiler Id like something similar. I am going to get Alcantara retrim on wheel shifter and handbrake and look around for used lighter seats
Thank you appreciate the feedback 😃🙌🙏 When it leaves factory so many compromises are made due to regulations. Ride height, sound restrictions etc, these are things that can be adjusted to your liking 😃🙌
It depends what you are modding. A ECU tune will void the warranty. Things like wheels and suspension does not impact the overall warranty. For example of you did suspension, they would not do work on the suspension under warranty. For new cars that are still under warranty. I have seen new cars get slammed and new exhaust put on within the first week
Thank you, I just went through the rennlist post, and great constructive feedback. Will be used to improve future videos. This is only a hobby for me and it’s an attempt to truly tell a story about he owner of these cars. Could maybe make the chat parts 10min to 15min and see how it performs. It’s all a learning journey and look forward to creating more 😃🙌🙏
Excellent video, phenomenal imagery. If your a car guy, and a Porsche guy, this is amazing stuff. I was lucky enough to just purchase a 997.2 myself, in triple black. This video has inspired me to grab my camera and start taking some pictures. I love Porsches, always have since i worked at a dealer as an 18 year old, detailing cars. I used to take 911’s that were rough and make them pristine by buffing the entire car, then polish, then old school wax (the days, no Teflon or ceramic). Porsches always has such great quality paint, they usually turned out well. I learn new things in every video i watch, and i leaned a few things on this one. So thank you!
I just love Porsches from this era. 987, 997 are the last analog Porsche. Starting from 991,981 body became bigger, interior and the key fob became modern and they lost the hydrolic steering. I do love the later models of Porsche but I think 987.2, 997.2 are the best design and gives better driving experience.
Great videa. I had a very similar experience. Couldn't find the right 997, so went with an Interlagos Blue e92 M3 manual, kept it for 2 years, and then found a 997.2 C2S manual, and jumped on it. Two very different cars, obviously, but both are great. I won't sell the 911 any time soon, but I do miss the e92's noise!
That’s amazing. 😃 thanks for sharing your journey. I am really wanting a E92, but I have the new M2 on order. It will be a game time decision closer to spring 😃
I’m keeping my 981 Boxster S for my daily and when it’s paid off the 997.2 is what I want. Love the suspension. I put the x73 on my Boxster and it changed the cars look completely from the base suspension, just as on this 997. These cars must be lower than stock to look right.
It is a very funny thing about a Porsche there’s the moment you know you want one there’s the moment you first own one,; and for the truly afflicted, there is the decade or two that passes in between. Amost as good as "Fire the Chaueffer"
I am working on improving how I capture audio. Most of my audio was clipped and didn’t capture all the good sounds 🤦♂️ It’s a constant work in progress
I don't want a 997, I don't want a 997, I just don't! And then this dude drops this video. I need a 997! lol awesome video and that 997 is the epitome of clean, fresh and perfection IMO that is. Bravo my good sir.
😂😂😂 glad you enjoyed the video. 997s are the last of the analog machine from Porsche. The 991 went onto electric steering and 991.2 did away with NA and went turbo. Such a shame. There are rumours that 911 with an NA motor is coming for the 992.2 . That will be interesting
That’s in CAD or USD? If f usd that’s like the maker price for that car at those miles. Still on the high side for me. Prices are dropping now and I think it can be had for less 😃🙌
Sorry, to clarify on the exhaust - topgear headers and centre muffler delete, and gundo hacked stock PSE side mufflers? I have a similar 997.2 carrera manual and yours sounds WAY better than mine. Thanks 👍
The wheels are from BC Forged Wheels, Peter from @carguys is a distributor for those wheels too so you can reach out to him instagram.com/car.guys.inc?igsh=ZjNpdTJpMmF4eTNv

The 997, the last Porsche where when you popped the engine lid, you can actually see an engine, much like my 993 Carrera but unlike my 991.1 Carrera 4 GTS, both manuals. The more sophisticated these cars become, they seem to be aimed at "key turners", a phrase I coined well over a decade ago because the newer these Porsches get, owners get them serviced instead of working on them which I find so enjoyable.
Some of us Porsche fanatics start early, as in when I was 10 years old and it took 42 years to own my first Porsche, thanks to an accident where my motorcycle got hit from behind (damn mobile phone user) while I was stopped in traffic during my annual Alps motorcycle tours. Life can be short so time to get the car I always wanted. I can relate to that Porsche Commercial video at 7:05. I downloaded that video ages ago; it is a keeper. That and "An Early 911" video on TH-cam. Some of us are really Porsche obsessed having been to the Porsche museums a few times each as well as the location of where the first 356 was built in Gmünd in Kärnten, Austria. I also stopped in at the summer residence of Porsche where the small chapel on their property laid to rest the family that passed away. Many owners have no idea what Ferdinand Porsche and his son Ferry had to go through during two wars, the jail time and struggles. So many books on the history of the owner and the make that anyone that is obsessed should read.
Most Porsche owners are picky but that guy who did the Gundo Hack at 9:30 needs to learn how to weld. Hell, my oxy-acetylene welds look as good as any TIG weld.
Love looking at some of the garages and their size in your videos. I have two 911s and four motorcycles in a standard 19x19 foot garage and trust me, it is tight. LOL But not bad for a guy that grew up on the other side of the tracks.
Glad to see Peter found the car that he always wanted. Now lets see how long he hangs onto it.
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing your story and supporting my channel.
I love what Porsche 911 offers as a package for the driver and how it fits into any lifestyle. 🙌😃🙏🙏😃
My story is soooooooo similar to his story.. I have an affinity for these cars.. I currently have the 987.. Saving to buy the 911. The car I have dreamed of since a kid!! Your story is a true inspiration 😊 Thanks for sharing..
That’s amazing 🙌😃 glad you liked the story and the vid 🙌😃🙏
In 15 years this vid will be about 991. Last of its kind. 993 was the last of its kind. 996 isn’t a Porsche blah blah blah.
And we will continue to blah blah blah about it too 😂😂😂
100% relate to the statement "it feels like a cockpit" I owned a 991.1 and the airiness within that car just didnt sit right with me after owning a 997. Sold the 997 and major regrects, thankfully back in to a 997 and the way the interior/cockpit wraps around you is special
Man the films at the end are so well done and epic! Love the series and looking forward to more :)
Appreciate the feedback. It’s definitely motivation to do more 😃🙌🙏
And I have a EVOM tune but I’m told the highest tune is a stage 3
Nice era, today's Porsche is humongous.
💯💯 bigger and much faster and scarier at the high end of that power 😃🙌
Yes, current 911 is too big. These designs look good, but my favorite style is the black 911 in the bad boys movie.
New ones are the size of a speedboat,and goes faster than a speedboat.
Really Nice Porsche! The 997 Porsche is the best Iteration personally, looks banging!
💯🙌😃 agree with that.
After my 930! The 997.2 is the one to get ❤️
💯😃🙌 the 930 must be so special 😃 such a desirable car now a days
Peter, I know I’ve told you this before..but man it literally sits perfectly
💯🙌😃
My 2005 Carrera looks exactly like this one -- less yellow calibers and belts -- and I can tell you from experience, the driving feel is awesome. A classic and modern car all rolled into one. Also, notice that his (as well as mine) rear wing stays concealed at speed to preserve the classic look. Point to ponder: 2005 = easily fixed ims.
I get chills from this video
🙏😮😃
Can you provide more info on the headlight mod? Would like to get a set for my 997.2!
I will get @911obsessed to respond with details 🙌😃🙏
@@thedevthing thank you. Looking for that too. I found a similar but it only worked on the 997.1
They are available on eBay, you have to search for 997 D2S Headlights
@@911obsessed Hi, I have an identical 997.2 with all the same mods except for the headlights. I looked on ebay, but only find units listed for 997.1, there are none listed as being for the 997.2 - exactly WHICH ONES DID YOU HAVE INSTALLED?
Yes, would like to know what headlights have been fitted to this lovely 997.2. Thank you.
Just came across your channel and this video- great content!
That’s awesome. Thank you for the support 🙏🙌😃
Can’t get over how GOOD this car looks
💯💯😃🙌 it’s amazing 🙌
Agreed.
Great stuff, any chance we can get details of where all parts where purchased?
Appreciate the feedback. I have reached out to the owner and we are going to try do a podcast style episode where we will dive in to the build in detail and go over all the major mods and where he got it from.
Hope that will be good
Hi! Cool video! Is it possible to know the company that did the modern light!? Thanks!

Such a beautiful 997. That car has come across my instagram many times.
💯💯 a beautiful ride.
Thanks 🙂
Great stuff! The interview followed up by the video is OUT OF THIS WORLD!
Thank you, appreciate that support and feedback. 😃
gorgeous 997! It is really elegant and powerful with the mods you did. I have a green Carrera 2s myself and am in love with it. It is the best generation with a compromise between digital and analog. And I agree that the 991s and 992s are VW 911s, not Porsches anymore.
Can you tell where you got the headlights and the front lip? thanks.
Thank you appreciate that. Regarding the lights The owner suggested to search for 997 D2S and here is what I came up with

Amazing video, ignore the comments on rennlist. Great cinematography and a great break away from all the old and tired conversations about the 997.
Thank you and genuinely appreciate the support 🙏😃🙌
You have done what I consider a perfect upgrade ...lol... Looks Fantastic!
💯 agree
GRANDE PORSCHE 😍 👍 🇮🇹 🔝
🙌😃💪
So glad I moved from Ontario to Indiana where no front plates are required.
😃🙌 those front plates are such a pain. Quick release plate mounts seem to be helping now. But I wish we didn’t need them in Ontario 😃
Awesome vid yet again! Would love to see some driver POVs of some of these cars going through backroads
Appreciate the feedback man. Will try to incorporate it into future videos
I love that for all of us these are our forever cars!! ❤❤
It’s a true test of car ownership 😂😃🙌
Great video, awesome car
🙏🙌😃
Can you provide more info on the front lip? This car is super clean. Amazing.
I believe it this. It’s essentially a 991 front lip on the 997
emc2design.com/porsche-997-front-lip-spoilers
He should really look into Ferrari 355. 5 valve engine, ITBs, dry sump, 8500 redline. The engine alone is a masterpiece and the design is second to none. Lighter than a 360 with near the same power level. Awesome 997.2!
Great video. I have an e90m3 and next car will be a 911. Thanks for sharing
That’s amazing. Keep the E90 M3 if you can when you get the 911. It’s a keeper 😃🙌
@@thedevthing absolutely. I buy for keeps. 911 then e46m3 csl when its 25 years old.
Amazing 🙌😃
My goodness, what beautiful photos @911obsessed Peter Nowacki takes! And one of the coolest looking 911's I've ever seen. The silver color, custom headlights, stance, yellow seatbelts matched with brakes, and brushed wheels gives it an extraordinary look! Yet, a little low to the ground for Charlotte roads. I'd tear the front of it off in a day... Cheers and thanks for the fun video
Thank you for the kind words 🙌😊
Amazing, glad you enjoyed the video 🙌😃🙏
That is STUNNING 👌🏼
💯😃🙌👍
I’ve owned my 997.2 C4S 6-sp cab for close to 10 years and have never tired of the car. It’s a beautiful, balanced car and inspires confidence every time I sit in it. I recently added an 86 3.2 M491 targa - superb car - to my collection and another keeper. They are recognisably similar cars but the driving experience is unique in each. I’m still learning to drive the 86 and getting comfortable with it. Old school 915 transmission which I’m surprisingly really enjoying. Feels like a throwback to porsche racing history and a very close connection to the transmission and engine. Feel blessed and hope to inspire my son to keep these cars (and the others - classic Alfas) when the time comes to pass them on! Good video - thank you from Kuala Lumpur! Best, David
Appreciate the comment and love your collection of cars. Hope your son will start to appreciate these cars. We need the car enthusiast culture to carry on to the next generation 😃🙌🙏
@@thedevthing thanks! I also drive a fully restored (nut and bolt) 1973 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 and am in the process of restoring another 1973 AR Guilia 1600 - which I’m resto-modding : fast road 2000 Nord engine and intend to upgrade suspension, exhaust and brakes. Keep up with your videos! All the best, David
Great video and 911, but sometimes less is more on upgrades. Seems like too much. I prefer Porsche factory specs, especially on the wheels.
This is what’s great about car culture, you can make it your own 😃🙌
Are those 19“, or 20“ rims? 🤔
19X9 and 19X12
Fabulous looking car and stunning photography and production, I real talent behind the camera!
911obsessed is great with photography, I love his work.
Thank you for your support 😃🙌
Happy New Year
Just discovered your channel after your latest episode. Love the content and quality!…Now watching all the amazing previous episodes.
Thank you so much for the support and feedback. It’s much appreciated. 😃🙏🙌
Awesome look, just needs bumperette delete to finish it
He might have it on the mod list 😃😂
Sorry for my ignorance but what is a 997.1911? Anyone knows?
The 997.1 is the internal Porsche designation which refers to the specific generation of 911
May I ask what tire size you have and if you have spacers on? bought mine a month ago coz of this video! Thanks
That's awesome, congrats! Factory tire size, 235/35ZR19 and 295/30ZR19. Wheels are 19x9 and 19x12, No spacers.
@@911obsessed What offsets are the BC forged wheels, I am about to do the same with a 997.2 I pick up next week. I never leave anything alone either, my place is KWv3 suspension with H&R roll bars, Miltek exhaust X pipe, I like your front lip spoiler Id like something similar. I am going to get Alcantara retrim on wheel shifter and handbrake and look around for used lighter seats
Gorgeous car, well done vid…….I just can’t get past trying to improve what they did in Zuffenhausen !?
Thank you appreciate the feedback 😃🙌🙏
When it leaves factory so many compromises are made due to regulations. Ride height, sound restrictions etc, these are things that can be adjusted to your liking 😃🙌
@@thedevthing How do the modes affect the warranty ?
Or should I expect you would not suggest this on a new delivery….! ?
It depends what you are modding. A ECU tune will void the warranty.
Things like wheels and suspension does not impact the overall warranty.
For example of you did suspension, they would not do work on the suspension under warranty.
For new cars that are still under warranty.
I have seen new cars get slammed and new exhaust put on within the first week
Great interview. Shame there music playing over the exhaust noise.
Hope to make more videos with better driving sounds. This is all new to me and learning new tricks to capture better audio. Stay tuned 🙌😃🙏
Excellent, especially the high quality photos!
🙏🙌😃
Do a video of the red 911 he took a picture of.
Just so I know exactly which red 911 is. Could you confirm is this is the one?

@@thedevthing yes shoot a video of this one.
Love the video, is it GT silver metallic?
Thanks, it's Platinum Silver Metallic
Great car and story!! Definitely would love one bone stock for me, maybe exhaust for more sound
Definitely worth exploring for sure
Here from rennlist very well done video.
🙏🙌😃 welcome and appreciate the feedback 🙌😃
@@thedevthing no prob! Left more detailed feedback on the rennlist post!
Thank you, I just went through the rennlist post, and great constructive feedback. Will be used to improve future videos.
This is only a hobby for me and it’s an attempt to truly tell a story about he owner of these cars. Could maybe make the chat parts 10min to 15min and see how it performs.
It’s all a learning journey and look forward to creating more 😃🙌🙏
@@thedevthing it’s a well done hobby!
Excellent video, phenomenal imagery. If your a car guy, and a Porsche guy, this is amazing stuff. I was lucky enough to just purchase a 997.2 myself, in triple black. This video has inspired me to grab my camera and start taking some pictures. I love Porsches, always have since i worked at a dealer as an 18 year old, detailing cars. I used to take 911’s that were rough and make them pristine by buffing the entire car, then polish, then old school wax (the days, no Teflon or ceramic). Porsches always has such great quality paint, they usually turned out well. I learn new things in every video i watch, and i leaned a few things on this one. So thank you!
Appreciate the great feedback and glad you enjoyed it 😃🙌
Congrats on the 997.2, it is a keeper 😃
Cool interview and video cinematic’s. For me the 997.2 is the best and this example is amazing. If only you could see the engine in the 991 & 992
Thank you for the comment. 😃🙌🙏
💯 miss seeing the engine. I guess it’s the price of progress 😃🙌
I just love Porsches from this era.
987, 997 are the last analog Porsche. Starting from 991,981 body became bigger, interior and the key fob became modern and they lost the hydrolic steering. I do love the later models of Porsche but I think 987.2, 997.2 are the best design and gives better driving experience.
💯 I have been tossing back and forth on getting back into a 997.2 just for that raw experience. 😃😅🙌
I love love love my 2004 911 cabriolet. It’s my dream car. They are truly timeless!!!!
💯💯😃🙌
Great videa. I had a very similar experience. Couldn't find the right 997, so went with an Interlagos Blue e92 M3 manual, kept it for 2 years, and then found a 997.2 C2S manual, and jumped on it. Two very different cars, obviously, but both are great. I won't sell the 911 any time soon, but I do miss the e92's noise!
That’s amazing. 😃 thanks for sharing your journey. I am really wanting a E92, but I have the new M2 on order. It will be a game time decision closer to spring 😃
Love my 6 speed 997.2 GTS. Best driver car I have ever owned.
That’s amazing. I 💯 miss my 997.2 GTS
You forgot to say "Action!" - Amateur! 🤣😂🤣😂
Joking 😉
😂😂🙌😃 noob here 😂
Love to own a 997.2 one day and you’ve taken the classic to another level with those subtle changes, love it!
💯😃🙌 it’s a clean way to modernize the 997
I’m keeping my 981 Boxster S for my daily and when it’s paid off the 997.2 is what I want.
Love the suspension. I put the x73 on my Boxster and it changed the cars look completely from the base suspension, just as on this 997. These cars must be lower than stock to look right.
That’s a good plan. The mod engine recipe from Porsche is so good. A GT4 or a GT4RS with a 997 would be epic also 😃🙌
It is a very funny thing about a Porsche there’s the moment you know you want one there’s the moment you first own one,; and for the truly afflicted, there is the decade or two that passes in between. Amost as good as "Fire the Chaueffer"
True story. I love this comment. 😃😍🙌😃
why no real car sounds in the film... the music isn't as cool as listening to the car sing
I am working on improving how I capture audio. Most of my audio was clipped and didn’t capture all the good sounds 🤦♂️
It’s a constant work in progress
Just awesome! Well done...again!!!
Thanks man 😃🙌🙏
I don't want a 997, I don't want a 997, I just don't!
And then this dude drops this video.
I need a 997! lol awesome video and that 997 is the epitome of clean, fresh and perfection IMO that is. Bravo my good sir.
😂😂😂 glad you enjoyed the video. 997s are the last of the analog machine from Porsche. The 991 went onto electric steering and 991.2 did away with NA and went turbo. Such a shame.
There are rumours that 911 with an NA motor is coming for the 992.2 . That will be interesting
Damn, that M3 is a gem!
11:06 random porn noise.
😂🙌
11:08 what's that sound in the background.....

I'm looking to pick up my first Porsche and found a 2012 Carrera S 997.2 PDK with 45k miles at $69k price single owner. Is that a fair price?
That’s in CAD or USD? If f usd that’s like the maker price for that car at those miles. Still on the high side for me. Prices are dropping now and I think it can be had for less 😃🙌
@@thedevthing USD. That's what I was thinking and wait until late thjs year for prices to keep correcting
