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 😃
I just bought my 997.2 GTS 2012 MT, and I couldn't be any happier. The size of the car, the power and Porsche manual transmission are great. The best 911 for daily drive.
Only a couple minutes in and already blown away by the production quality. Feels like it was made by a channel with a million subscribers. Excited to see it grow!
Peter is the reason why I bought my 997.2 (2011), and I just started buying the mods for it - BC Forged KL12 - 992 Head lights - 991 front spoiler - Fab speed exhaust tips carbon fiber
There really is nothing like a 911, the marketing, the commercials, the engineering, the performance, the history, the fact that there is NO SUBSTITUTE.
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
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
@@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.
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 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 UA-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. 🙌😃🙏🙏😃
Hahaha that’s awesome, I appreciate all the support. Weather has been bad on the weekend to film these type of videos. Hopefully we will have a clear weekend soon. 🙌😃
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!
@Prabhul Dev I'm looking at a 997.1 but, I'm not sure if the IMS bearing has been replaced. The car looks great but, the price for a rebuild if the bearing hasn't been replaced keeps me at bay.
If you look through some of the comments some are saying that all the 997.2 are safe. But the way I have been a looking at since my initial research is that all the 997 turbos are bullet proof. The one from 2011 onwards are safe too. Porsche had fixed the IMS issues from 2011 on. Some say it was earlier. But I play it safe with 2011 onwards. At the same time when you do the PPI the mech might be able to check that for you. Good luck on your hunt 🙌😃
@@darrelltuttle8298 The failure rate of the IMS is low, especially on 2006+ cars, however there is always a small risk. Replacing the IMS with an upgraded deaign on 2005 cars that have the smaller bearing design is great insurance and piece of mind. The 997.2 (2009+) cars have a completely redesigned motor that has 40% less components and no IMS, also cases of bore scoring are significantly decreased.
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!!
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..
super clean car. absolutely love it. those wheels are so satisfying to look at, the machine work is so detailed. lot of engineering went into those. (I'm a CNC Machinist btw) refinement does so much more for me than the dollar figures and wow factor. nice display of your skills with the Outro too.
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’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.
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.
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!
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
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 have the 2012 911 Turbo S. I love his headlights. I wished he had mentioned the company that made the headlights. They’re beautiful.

Not keeping a car stock has been historically been the number 1 mistake of each owner.
@@maxmeier532 always keep stock--maybe modify radio, add radar detector, and potentially exhaust and cold air intake (with stock)

Where can i get those headlamps? Please let me know i want some
This is one of the cleanest 997.2s I've ever seen. What size are the BC Forged wheels he's running? Perfect fitment.
Thank you, the wheels are 19x9 and 19x12
which model BC FORGED are the wheels
If you are on IG you could reach out to him directly. I am not sure which model it is. I think it’s KL12
Timeless designs, 911s are legend
🙌😃💯
I absolutely love your car. I follow you on IG and now when I see the film I'm even more impressed how clean and tasteful this build is.
Thank you 😊
🙌👍😃
Another amazing video 👏🏻
Thank you 🙏🙌😃 thank you for watching
Just came across your channel and this video- great content!
That’s awesome. Thank you for the support 🙏🙌😃
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 😃🙌
Nice shots of RPM Technik's CSR "Snakebite" with the cool interior mods. Been in that car and it's a great place to sit.
It is stunning
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 🙏😃🙌
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!
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.
Absolutely awesome get him back on with his car would like to see the mods
Amazing, thank you. 😃🙌🙏
Maybe we can do a walk around video and dive into some of the details. 🙌🙌
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
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 😃
Awesome look, just needs bumperette delete to finish it
He might have it on the mod list 😃😂
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
Beautiful presentation of a stunningly beautiful car. Thank you!
I really appreciate that feedback and glad you enjoyed it.
Just Subscribed! Great Channel Brother!
Thank you, I really appreciate the support 😃🙌🙏
Great car and story!! Definitely would love one bone stock for me, maybe exhaust for more sound

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
