The 997 is is my opinion the best looking 911 ever together with the wide body 964. I never liked the looks of the 993 and 996. I’m warming up to the 991, but ever since the 991 these cars have become so large in size and that’s not what the 911 was about back in the day. It was about small, lightweight and fast. The 997 is the last 911 that just perfectly fits the role.
@John S well, you can always take up pole dancing as a lucrative side job and work your way up to one. 😁😁😁 The 997 is not that expensive anymore. In Germany they can be had for around 100K. Check out www.mobile.de
Excellent video Royd! Love hearing the sincere words of a true driving enthusiast. It is so refreshing to hear someone of substantial means who has not become jaded / distracted by the value of their vehicular ‘assets’. My guess is that there is a higher percentage of grounded people among Porsche owners than among other exclusive brands. “Who would want to play golf on a Sunday morning, when you can go for a drive?” - absolutely priceless and so true.
Miss my Australian (one of two) viper green GT3 CS. Life changes but the memories and the opportunity to own such an awesome and rare car mean no regrets.
Another comment now 2024. Love this story. So relatable. Binned my Lava Orange 2016 GT3RS at the track with 88000 km. About 50/50 road and serious track driving. Took a few years to get the Mrs to agree but now have an Agate Grey 991.2 GT3. Lots of twisty roads but track has been deemed off limits. My favourite would be a 991.2 GT3RS in Voodoo blue. Big thanks again for this vid.
For me, 997 is the keeper for sure. Porsche just don't make cars like 997rs's anymore, but a 991rs could always be replaced with a 992 and I am sure the 992 would be faster and better.
perfect description... I own 997.1 RS and 991.2 RS... the ONLY time enjoying the 991 was enjoyable was on track, but the 997 is a TOTAL THRILL accelerating from 0-60 at 1/2 red line... IT'S SOOOOOO LOUD AND ENJOYABLE.
It’s really sensational to watch a video like this, and I’m looking for a gt3rs in a desired spec as well, I’m just getting more and more excited after watching this video! Well done man!
Oh my GOSH... this is scary... I actually traded my 991 for a SPECIALE... THIS IS FREAKIN SCARY. This guy is a car owner after mine own heart. THANK YOU for this confirmation. Sometimes I think of the 991... and how beautiful it was... and I really loved it... but... the 997 kinda made is BLAH after I bought it. GREAT review.

Which would you take? 997 RS or 991 RS? Let us know 👇
991RS for me.....although both are great GT’s!

@John S well, get the 991.2 GT3 RS and you can choose between manual or PDK!

@John S you could try corners in dark alleys then! 😁
Yeah, it’s a good price!
Big thanks to Adam, Riad and Dan for shooting my motors 👏👏👏
Tw mighty fine motors! In the right hands :)
Just well done mate, well done 😍💪
991 for track days and 997 for road drives, stunners!!!!
Nice one!
I’d take the 997 GT3 RS, especially with a 6-speed manual. Porsche have always made some excellent driver’s cars.
me too!

Wow, owning one is already quite impressive, but two? Jeez. haha! I'll take the 997 all day!

Well u were right
In all fairness I'd take either one...
Same here!

very cool! how far off would a 997.1 Carrera be? I know that is a bit of a dumb question haha
@@Anthony-qh1xv not even close … RS is pure and raw with feel
Great video with a good story well done royd 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
And people still believe that money can t you buy happiness
lol
Quality

997 3RS in orange is just amazing.
I know!!! That is my number one!

Nothing better than the drive home in my 2008 Gt3 rs after a sub 80 round of golf. Bliss
Epic cars, epic scenery
You know it :)
Both beautiful can't go wrong with either, but I currently have the 991.2 gen lizard green example...!
epic film guys and the RSs wow!
Thanks Andrew
The 997 is NOT Viper ...its called RS Green, color code 2D8
Oh lol
997 gt3 rs... Dream car.
same
Absolutely love these cars, i think the gen1 997 gt3 rs looks better than gen2
I agree! my dad has a gen 1, looks incredible.
@@Anthony-qh1xv lucky man, me jealous 😁
@@iimiboy ahh well thanks!
Agree .1
The 997 gt3rs did not come in viper green from factory... The color is called RS green
A real petrol head with great taste .
Love this ⚡️❤️⭐️
Impeccable taste! Thanks for watching.
Cracking video. Nice one Royd.
Glad you enjoyed it
Those tables on the back are big enough for me and all my family to sit round at Christmas.
Down a pint every time he says "in all fairness"
Great video guys
Thanks so much!
need the song at the very end !
Stunning. I'll bet the 991 is the daily driver though?
certainly easier to drive than the 7!
my dream is to own both these cars & live near the Nurburgring or any other great race track I can use very regularly.
That's the dream!

Stunning
Thanks for watching 🏁
“In all fairness”
Amazing - track weapons - love them
Outstanding!
Fantastic 👍🏼
Thank you 👍
Amazing!
Isn’t the 997 signal green?
great video
The 997 all day long over the 991 far more beautiful car.
Great video but the 997.1 is not viper green it’s RSgreen.
Good to know
997 4.0 would be the shit!
997 should have been a 4.0
🤪
@@scd 991 should have been a 991.2😅, better handling dynamics, faster, better looking, motorsport Flat-6.
they realy dont differ much at the front
991.1 in Lava for me
997 ... for sure ...
Yep!!!
fis is great
PSA: Porsche is a 2 syllable word!
I golf and drive. That's why I buy a Corvette to stick my clubs in the back 😂😂
kinda cool
sort of
Viper green >>>> lizard green
Only manual :)
Jesus wept. Who picked the music? Why is it even necessary?
First
Lizard green I believe.
Spot the difference. Porsche the laziest designers in the world
If it ain't broke, why fix it!
Timeless and most recognisable design of a sports car period
