    LOL. I work for Porsche (technician) and all of us agree this is the best 911. Handles excellent and is really refined. Still a sports car.

    This car is amazing but the 997 is the car that I fell in love with and grew up with. I think the 997 will always be my favorite. I remember the first time I saw a 2007 gt3 at a car show. Ever since then its been nothing but Porsche for me!

    My 991 has been a revelation, really the best car I have ever owned, totally puts my old R8 to shame on many levels...

      Same. I bought a 991 4S cab last year, it’s so much better than the V8 R8 that I owned previously.

    8:52 To say the 991 Carrera S is comparable to a 997 GT3 that's a huge statement,I don't know if I'd go that far.

    This was super well made, great job guys, and just fantastic car, love the new 991, best generation 911 yet!!

  • @TheCarVlogger
    @TheCarVlogger 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh wow, never would've guessed haha! Loved the second gen 997, great car. Yeah I think we all would love to have a GT3, such a great car, so full of focus and fun, but of course it all comes with a price...

  • @TheCarVlogger
    @TheCarVlogger 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm with you on the weight, we seem to be at a time in cars that they're so heavy now that we compensate with having insane horsepower numbers. Just go back a few years and 400-500 horsepower was only in the best supercars on the planet, now we see that in several sedans and entry level supercars. If the weight was lower we wouldn't need all that. I'd love to have a 997, or any 911, love that ducktail on it btw, not sure if that one is yours, but looks great.

  • @MagicAyrtonforever
    @MagicAyrtonforever 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Indeed, way too pricey! hehe, I have just purchased a BMW F800GS for fun and I have to say that I am very much enjoying it (when it doesn't rain!) cheers.

    I own it 991 carrera S, superb sound but lost when race with F430 scuderia.

  • @MagicAyrtonforever
    @MagicAyrtonforever 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    That photo was taken from Forza 4 on the xbox 360!! I have sold my 997.2 Carrera .. as I am putting the money back into my business.. I would like a GT3 next time.. but with this recession I don't think I will ever own another Porsche. Very sad days indeed.

  • @Dreadzedan
    @Dreadzedan 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    it is the best looking for sure is lighter and drives very well

  • @TheCarVlogger
    @TheCarVlogger 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Put two identically optioned 997 and 991 911's and the 991 should have less weight overall. Despite the larger size, Porsche worked hard to use lighter weight materials and bring down the curb weight.

    the porche is gorgeous im stuck between that or a gtr

  • @metalhardkore
    @metalhardkore 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    You mean to say that the car (which has been made only 2 inches longer than the last 997) is too long? and 2 inches shorter was the best? People like you cant afford one but can only crib about the new model because its now more comfortable, better looking, and better to drive... however i will agree with you on the steering bit..

  • @antonym9815

    theres one mistake in this video: the panamera at the end :D but i'm a big porsche fan

  • @MagicAyrtonforever

    I would hope so if you work for them.

    song at the end is?

  • @MagicAyrtonforever
    @MagicAyrtonforever 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Of course it is.. longer wider heavier and quieter with numb steering, no front end bobbing and total divorce from the driving experience.. of course it's the best one yet!

  • @Dominikmj
    @Dominikmj 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yeah - you have no idea!
    Ok - time goes by - when Porsche changed the air cooled engine for a water cooled one, there were a lot of naysayers. Now again.
    It is bigger - but lighter and stronger as well and wider! And the "normal" 991 CarreraS already scratching the times from the 997 GT3. Just wait until the new GT3 is coming; this will be a nightmare for other producers [in the range - obviously the new Ferraris costing almost twice - hence are no direct competition]!

  • @MagicAyrtonforever
    @MagicAyrtonforever 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    what do the other 2 drive? 991'S? :-)

  • @viasevenvai
    @viasevenvai 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    A lot of people point out that the 911 keeps the same look. It's improving though. No one points out that BMW isn't changing their look and it's waaay worse.

  • @TheCarVlogger
    @TheCarVlogger 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Larger is not a negative, Porsche has been promoting their everyday sports car campaign and having a larger car helps make the car more practical. Its actually not heavier at all, its about 45 kilos lighter, so go do more research on that next time. I don't know if you've driven the car at all, I see you have a 997, but I have yet to watch a single review where anyone has said the steering is numb, yes the feel may not be as good anymore, but thats just the way of the times.

  • @ike65ep
    @ike65ep 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    To be honest I kinda felt the 911 go soft as well. I still think it is a good drive, and definitely a faster car, but perhaps not the same visceral experience I remember from my 02 porsche 911 Carrera S.

    All the outside camera views are of a different driver with sunglasses on.

  • @MagicAyrtonforever
    @MagicAyrtonforever 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    A real sports car should be 1.2 tonnes maximum.. Sold my 997 but I wish I could afford a 991 GT3 though, even though it is PDK and way too heavy.

    @Robbieifyoucan 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you want GT, not a Sports car :/. This 991 is the last nail in the coffin for the true 911. Why? Its too long,(longer than a corvette actually) they switched the hydraulic steering(like you get in BMW's which is why many people enjoy driving them) to numb electronic steering. It also look too curvacious and in the rear wheels, almost uncomfortably so. These people just get paid to say this, now if youre a California valley girl or guy youre gonna love it. If you love driving, you wont.
