    The 997 is the perfect 911 generation. It’s perfectly positioned between the old and the new. Last of the analogs!

    Like lewis I too get my kick from “ownership experience” and tracking isn’t my trip. Porches are pieces of art firstly and just having one and staring at it every day is a trip in itself not to mention the main course which is of course driving one. It’s all about passion. When I walk up to my shark blue boxster gts 4.0 on a sunny Saturday and go cruisin top down on a back road or even in the city when there’s no traffic It’s truly a mesmerizing feeling/uplifting feeling. Love your videos because they depict so well people’s passion for cars and porches especially. 🙏🏼

    I really enjoyed this one, well done. Can’t be said enough the value of maximizing pleasure without having your car impounded with the 997 generation. I miss mine, and I can tell you the size difference to the 991/992 is significant. Wash it, and you can’t help but notice. 997 lines are sexier.

    From a 7.1 owner to another, good luck keeping the painted lip, painted, as it scratches, go with the cup lip, more flexible and not too expensive and keep it black. Also, the aero bumper is not “GT3 inspired” the aerokit was available on the 911 prior to the GT3 even being available, in other words, the GT3 kit was actually “inspired” by the aerokit.

    • @thedevthing
      @thedevthing  7 місяців тому +3

      This is what’s great about a free world. We have the choice to do what we want 🙌😃
      The lip is definitely considered a consumable, just like it is on my GT3RS
      If heavily used on track a painted lip would not make sense unless it has been PPF’d

    Having owned my black on black 997 Carrera S for 10 years, I just can't think of another 911 I would rather have. The only model that I have considered is the 997 Turbo, but then you lose the unique exhaust note of the NA car. I believe the 997 is the best-looking 911 ever made.

    So happy for you that you have such a clean 997. I currently have FOUR cars (I know, I know, I know...), and I'm definitely willing to rid myself of two of them to make room (financially) for a 997.2. I really want a narrow body RWD with a 6 speed manual, but functionally, a wide body 4S with the auto makes more sense for my usage case (I plan to daily this thing because I'm crazy). Automatics are also slightly cheaper on the internet as well... Anyways I'm rambling, sweet 911 dude. Never let her go!

  • @IHavePi
    @IHavePi Місяць тому +1

    The car looks really outstanding. However, for reasons of aerodynamics, the GT3 front bumper aerokit should always be installed together with the GT3 rear spoiler aerokit, otherwise the car will be pushed down heavily at high speeds at the front while the rear loses downforce and can therefore break away in corners. But if you don't drive above 200km/h it shouldn't matter much. ☺

    • @thedevthing
      @thedevthing  Місяць тому +3

      💯 the owner is definitely aware of the downsides. If you end up doing track days this setup would cause a lot of instability. But for city and back road cruising, it’s ok. 😃🙌

  • @KosmicHRTRacingTeam
    @KosmicHRTRacingTeam 7 місяців тому +7

    Cracks me up when people think you need PCCBs, as if the car is so inferior with the stock red Brembos. A little secret, since you might be new to the game, many GT3/RS owners swap out the carbon ceramics to reds, and reinstall them when they sell the car, and many guys that track the car a lot. Ironic

    • @thedevthing
      @thedevthing  7 місяців тому +2

      If you live on the track and are chasing lap time, yes steel brakes are cost effective.
      Our obsession with PCCB is purely aesthetics only. The best compromise for occasional track and street use. Thank you for the comments 🙌😃

    • @adrianadrianp5305
      @adrianadrianp5305 7 місяців тому +1

      The main reason to do this is the risk of stone chips on the disc with track work. The great thing about PCCB for me is the reduced weight and the superb breaking plus the lack of rust and reduced dust

It was available on the 997.1 before the GT3 came out so essentially the Aero kit inspired the GT3, not the other way around.

    Enjoying all of your Porsche/owner spotlight videos, very well done. Question about these HRE wheels: I looked into these “flow forged” wheels because i love the look, and like HRE wheels. Before I drop money on these I want to know what Luis thinks of them, they are not true “forged wheels”, so I’m wondering how they will hold up compared to forged, since I’m trying to save money for my 997. Love the whole car and the look, just wondering about these wheels, as they are not reasonable considering they are still a “cast” wheel, even though they are well made clearly, and look great. Keep up the great videos 👍
