      I’m a die hard 911 fan and i couldn’t choose between the generations on that way now. For a pretty long time my favourite was the 993 turbo but once i got to drive a 930 turbo wls which is a factory power increased version. Naturally it was all Euro soec as it never been sokd in the US. I instantly fell in love with it. It was raw and stupidly fast even by today’s standards. It also had all the nice options like heated electric sport seats,heated front windshield etc. Also got the rare color options Cassis red with burgundy interior with Ruf speedline wheels. It was wild and mean. It has got me so much that i have a constant deep love and desire for that car ever since.

    The turbo cars (991.2 and later) have a lot more low end torque. Anywhere above 2,000 rpm you can just step on the gas and the car will whoosh forward. You don't have to rev to 5,000 or more.
    The 997 still had that bar of soap look of the 996.

  • @Adison0529
    @Adison0529 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What's the deal with yellow tinted left side mirror? Also, how come it is registered despite the roof thingy and on a side note, what is the legal standpoint on red headlights like that Camaro had?
    I am fully with you on the closing words. I've been more of a 996 guy myself for the past year or two, while 991.2 has the perfect modern 911 looks in my eyes, but if someone asked me what a 911 is, a 997 would be what I'd show them. I think it's a perfect embodiment of that phase between early 2000s and what we refer to as modern cars right now, I can't imagine it being done any better.
    I am not the biggest fan of grey paintjobs, neither I am a fan of dark chocolate (or "espresso") leather, but despite these things this 911 is out of this world. I love all the chrome/polished aluminum details, I love the finish on the doors and the seats, I absolutely admite the seatbelts, the carbon intake is a highlight under the "hood" no doubt, but the thing that makes it look so spectacular is the rear end as a whole. Rear bumper together with these IDEAL exhaust tips and this duck tail tie together in a way I can't even describe. Just stunning. It is worth mentioning that it sounds really good too, nowadays the Carreras sound like complete vacuum cleaners, at least here in the EU and I totally forgot that a Carrera could sound that good.
    I had no idea such version existed and now I am absolutely in love with it and want one bad, and I mean real BAD. Screw any other newer 911, this is what I want.
