    Sweet choice. My research is leading me to believe this is peak pure Porsche. Lots of videos on this please. Comparisons between generations, facelifts, running costs, reliability, fun factor, track days. Keep it up 💯

    Congratulations man! You won't get tired of it. Don't ever sell it, keep it forever.
    I bought a 997.2 Carrera S with no aero kit. Has the same wheels as yours. Love that thing, and love blasting through corners with it.

    Congratulations. I test drove a c4s 997.1 on Saturday. I couldn’t believe how heavy the clutch was. The steering was heavy but probably cause I’m use to a m4.
    How it got down the road. I completely get why ppl crave them. As I do now. M4 will be going. Who cares about speed n numbers it’s how it feels n drive

    Sounds great! what a good example. I did a similar purchase, buying my old boss's 997.1 C4S convertible. "You will have smiles per mile", is what he told me when I bought it.

  • @mhoseinofi
    @mhoseinofi ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Nice video Stef! Nice car and low mileage too.
    I’ve owned my 997 4s for 7 years now. Love the buzz it gives me and all the analogue stuff you mentioned are true. Newer cars are faster for sure but they feel disconnected compared to this generation.
    Sadly may have to sell mine soon to pay for some building works but will be back in the market for one as soon as I can afford the next one.

    Congratulations! You finally have taken the Porsche Red Pill and will never look at cars the same way again! I have owned a 2006 997.1 Carrera 4S for 14 years now. Purchased with 6k miles, pristine/new condition. 14 yrs later, now it has 95k miles, and I still love it! It still thrills me and looks so good rolling down the road. I have driven the newer Porsches and although they may be faster and feel newer with the latest tech/gadgets, I have yet to be able to justify upgrading for the price difference. The joy to drive versus price of admission is just not there for me to upgrade. I love the 997/987s that much. Great, simple, beautiful cars. Great spec you got. Enjoy in good health!

    Congrats Stef. Just bought my first Porsche 4 days ago. It is a 991.1 Carrera S convertible. I have come from a long line of Mercs with the last 2 being a SL500 and a SL 63. There is no comparison to the Porsche. The 997 and 991.1 share the same NA engine so I get the joy of listening to the engine from 6K revs upwards. Enjoy and keep up updated.
    The SL63 had 585 BHP but the Porsche is a different level. Power without control is nothing!

  • @jaunenito
    @jaunenito 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    997s are really great cars! Will go down as one of the best 911s, but what makes it truly special is that it rescued Porsche from the 996. Had a 2006 S & loved it. Now have a 997.2 4S, my dream car.

    Great vid. Just got a C4s and loving it but my 996 .1 with engine rebuild and MO30 set up gives me more grunt and visceral experience. The 997 is very nice but definitely more refined which is very welcome but my 996 is so raw in comparison and definitely feels more nimble with it being lighter and 2wd. Still in the honeymoon period and hope I get through it or I may keep the 996 and let the 997 go 🤦🏻‍♂️😑

    • @2702simmo

    • @malloymorgan3293
      @malloymorgan3293 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I recently fitted Eibach springs with H@R spacers to my 997 C4S and if anything the ride comfort is as good if not better than stock whilst also feeling more planted during ‘spirited’ driving! Go for it you won’t regret it.

    • @gregspark9845
      @gregspark9845 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Do it. I fitted blue H&R springs and the matched Bilstein Sport B8 shocks to my previous 996.2 C2 manual. And spacers 17mm all around. Perfect height drop and stance. The 997.1 suspension is very similar to the 996.2. Big handling improvement, and steering sharper (the 996 steering is better than 997). The ride was firmer but not hard, compliant and great damping. And.importantly, 'Er Indoors was happy with it.

    Beautiful car. I was in the market for one of these, but a Turbo Tip with 44k miles came up for sale that I couldn't pass up. The manual version of my car was out of my budget but I'm still pinching myself that I have a Turbo 911. If I "need" the manual in the future, this is exactly what I'd get. Subscribed!! Also, I couldn't agree that the 997 shape is by far the best looking 911.

    Stunning car fella. Whatever generation you want, always just go for the one that’s right when the chance presents itself. My dad looked for ages for his g series, ended up calling into the Porsche centre near to where he was at a meeting in Corby, sales exec showed him a few in stock, including the one he bought - it was stunning condition, and had his dream spec (leather, sports seats in nice colour, good stereo, alarm and immobiliser, whale tail, sunroof etc. The dealer said they’d bring it down to Surrey when they could but he picked it up 3 weeks later when he finished his deal and loved it so much he kept it for 20 years.

    I have a 996.2 3.6 c2 cab love driving it with the top down in sunny California. 911 are the perfect sport cars great handling and it seems like there alive. I have driven new mustangs, hellcats, scat packs and there missing something even tho they are more powerful cars.

    Love it. I have a 991 4s. Nothing like a 911 - any of them. Enjoy 🎉

      @@StefABtv interested as you seemed to know the car well, did you have a full pre purchase inspection, especially around the much documented bore score? I'm guessing this spec and condition set you back around £40k and I can only see prices increasing as the last pure 911.

    Got to say, this generation of Porsche is probably my favourite, and really good value at the moment. The 3.8 does suffer from a few common issues, but as long as you have it in mind that at some point it 'may' need an engine rebuild, just drive it and enjoy it! Regular oil changes every 5k miles or so and definitely no point in worrying about what 'might happen'.
    I bought a 3.2 987 Boxster S last year and whilst not quite the power of the 997, it's still nigh on 300bhp with the stainless valved exhaust I fitted (read LOUD!) helping it breathe a bit better. Love the car and not sure I will ever be without some kind of Porsche in my life.
    Mine is also Basalt black, it's not my favourite colour (Seal Grey is probably my favourite) but I did not want a silver one having had many silver cars in my time. I think your car does look a bit 'plain' without some decals on (if it was mine, I'd definitely add the 'Cayman R' style side stripes as they make the 987/997 look so good), and perhaps add back the rear badge.
    Absolutely amazing car, PCCM+ is also a big bonus!

    Congras🎉 Steve , would you be making video comparing this with the 4c ? The 911 is definitely a more refine car but would the 4c actually be more fun to drive ? 😁

    • @StefABtv
      @StefABtv  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Can drive the 911 every day no problems, the 4C is more exotic but couldn’t drive it every day. Practicality and usability in the 911 wins hands down for me. Pure engaging drive the 4C edges it but would have the 911 personally each time after owning both

    Any signs of bore scoring? I’ve got a 06 997.1 4S with 80k mi and it’s always on the back of my mind…. Worse come to worse I’ll turn it into a 4.0
