Nice. I made the jump this past February from the 991.1 C4S after 140,000 miles to 991.2 C4S and I was totally blown away. The power delivery is just amazing.
Great to see you back james. Congrats on the new 911. Lovely car! I hear you with life and kids! I have 3 under the age of 6. Hope there are many more videos to come!
No no no don't do springs. I have KW coilovers and they are fantastic.I'll never do springs again. Don't jury rig Bluey Twoy James! Ben following you for years, glad you bought this car super pumped for you 👊
I have the same car with a chalk + blue interior it always gets compliments for “the color.” I agree, there’s no turbo lag. Put your foot in it and you’ll be at 120 in no time.
Nicely edited. And I appreciate your purposeful sound recording of the engine, instead of just letting the sound lay there like most TH-cam videos. Sound is SO important!
Congrats…. Definitely a beauty. Have a 991.2 base as well. Everything you’ve said in this video rings true to my heart. Did quite a bit bit of research on ECU tunes….Cobb, APR, etc Went also with softronic and it is absolutely beast. Also done the calipers in red inspired by your 991.1 video. Although less circumspect about infringing on the S red. Enjoy!
Congratulations on your new 991.2. I have been watching your video for many years. I have a graphite blue 991.2 cabriolet. I am looking forward to all your DIY projects.
James, congrats on the .2-- It is awesome, you will love it. You have have inspired my maintenance and mods on my 997 C2 CAB and my 991.2 C2 CAB. Keep up the great work. Just did the front Pads and Rotors last weekend….they are red because of you!!! Considering an ECU tune as well….
Congrats James! Love the color and the mods thus far. Great to see you back in a 991. Looking forward to hearing about your experience with the stage 1 tune.

I am so excited as I just got a 991.2 carrera and am wanting to do some of these mods you are speaking about. So far, I have upgraded to the sport front spoiler (Love the look). The softronic ECU flash is on my list. So much horsepower and torque for the buck. Can't wait to see you do this and a lot more. I have seen some on Rennlist adding adding Porsche side skirts from the 991.1 RS or GTS. Look at that option as well, please!
Came to your channel after listening to Curb and Canyon. Love the new car you now have. (BTW after watching a couple of your videos, the landscape began to look very familiar. I spent some time in that area having a home off of Dodd Blvd. Cheers from Dallas TX.)
No way!! Haha. That's so funny. A few people have figured out where I shoot those drone shots. It's my secluded little spot, especially on colder days. :)
Congrats on the new .2, I will be watching this series! I have had my .2 carrera 7 spd for 3 years now and I have done the apr stg 1, soul sport cats and x pipe(no pse) and the dsc pasm upgrade
Great videos James, I just picked up a base 2018 991.2 as well with PSE and 7 speed manual. I'm super excited...considering a tune however not sure which Cobb, APR, VividRacing, or Softronics? Why did you choose Softronics over other brands and realistic torque/hp gains? Any feedback would be appreciated. Keep the amazing videos coming. Thank you.
Congrats ! Beautifull car James !! My 997 now in winter storage, the GT2 replika wing coming off now.. i want the OEM look...and also because of the aerodynamics
Beautiful car, I've got a close sibling, 2017 graphite blue base. I love the Softronic tune that I did earlier this year. Now I really need to get up to Tail of the Dragon if you guys do another road trip.
Glad to see a new video and the car looks amazing. Looking forward to the mods. Please make sure you film the very first reaction of you driving with the tune. Those are the best, but guys usually ruin them by only showing the video when they’ve been driving it for a bit, and it’s just not the same. Congrats!!!
I have a 991.2 Carrera T, which shares the same engine as the base Carrera, and felt it was lacking in the power department. An APR stage 1 tune fixed that issue, but now I feel the need for more lol. Considering the stage 3 GTS turbo upgrade.
YEAH!! Check out Flat 6 Motorsports in the Orlando FL area. They have several different tuning options for the 991.2 which goes to as much as a Stage 4 producing more than 700+ bhp. Insane but awesome!!
Congrats James! Awesome looking car! I still need to install my JoyAuto, so I'll have to watch that video for a forth time now. When I first saw your 991.2 I was thinking to myself...now there's a Sharkey P car for ya! The color looks more like a shark's color, and with your mods, it'll be as dangerous as a Shark Too! Congrats!
What a coincidence, I went to test drive a 991.2 Carerra base PDK too, also Graphite Blue Metallic. Wanted to upgrade from my 987.1 S manual. It’s a big jump in performance and price. Salesman took me through backroads @ 140kms. He’s very experienced race driver. I was sold on 991.2 base and he said there’s not much difference in S, GTS. So save your money and learn how to race your car. Pedal to the metal, fast as you can. If I do end up getting it, the yellow calibres look great on Graphite Blue Metallic.
Fun!! I just came home from a drive through the countryside with some friends. Lakes, rivers, bluffs, twists and turns. I absolutely LOVE this car. Good luck!
James, FYI I have heard that the guys who have done the H&R springs end up with a harsh ride….and have utilized other options. FYI we meet at one of the recent Sportscar Together Festival events at Indy if I am not mistaken. Love the new car. These little Turbocars are terrific and the Tune’s make them come alive. Cannot wait to see what happens next.
Love that color, congrats on your new ride enjoy it! I have 2015 991.1s. I do find it took me a bit to get used to be in the right rpm range to really get it going. The 991.2 I saw a video with someone driving out of gear and getting excellent acceleration throughout with the turbos
I have the Softronic tune on my 17 Base. Fantastic tune with more than enough power and no drivabiltiy problems. More power than the 991.2 GTS and you keep the response of the smaller turbos.
Congrats James!!! Awesome Car and Color. I think you will love the Tune, my new Daily is an S5 2015 running on Corn LOL it's a huge difference from stock. I am sure once you get your Tune you will feel the same. Lastly if prices drop a bit I'll going the group with a 991.2 for now the 993 still my only P CAr.
I am! I have a Softronic tune but they are incredibly difficult to work with and it is taking a frustrating amount of time to get the correct tune file back from them.
Congrats! I have a 991.2 C4S that's graphite blue like yours but with full Cognac leather interior package. Looking forward to the performance mods!

Great looking car imo the best looking generation ever, I am puzzled between 991.1 vs 991.2 lookswise i prefer newer but those 3.8l engines in carrera s previous gen are to die for
Great Video with your Mods, congrats. I have a question, though. I'm on the opposite direction. My SCC came in with the yellow face, and I do not like it. I want to turn it into a black face! How was your experience swapping the black into a yellow on your unit? Any tips appreciated. Thanks.
If you would like to have the factory black face I removed from my cluster, you're very welcome to it! The job is pretty straight forward. I have a DIY video of the job that shows you how to do it step by step. I would also be happy discussing it with you live if that helps too.
Congrats on the .2. I just did the same about a month ago and as much as I loved my .1 this one is so much more fun to drive. Excited to see some of your mods already, which I have wanted to do also. Before you jump into the performance, maybe for the channel try a Sprint Booster and see what you think. So many nay sayers on the SB but for turbo cars, it really adds another element of fun. Would be great to see you try it and with your following share the outcome. I have used for years on other turbo cars and now its a must have for me.
My first Porsche was a 2014 981 Boxster. I then moved up to a 991.2 but wasn't fond of the turbo's feel and sound, so I switched back to the 991.1, which has a similar feel to the 981 but just better. I do miss the firmer chassis of the 991.2, though. After driving the 992 a few times and appreciating its even better chassis, I still prefer the sound and throttle response of the 991.1.

I’ve got to ask, is that a Porsche option colour or PTS..?
