    I first saw JBs car back in 2019 and it inspired me to find a dot two GT3 bumper for my C4S (which I eventually did). Met him several times over the years. Great guy!

      @thedevthing , I'm working on purchasing a 997.2 of my own. Right now, I'm helping I'm modifying my G35 coupe and helping my son modify his Lexus ES300.

    I’m finally at a point in my life that a 997 is something I can get and started my research. It is refreshing to see these beautiful builds after all the scary videos about bore scoring and IMS failures that somewhat started to discourage me. I’m more about how the car makes you feel rather than ultimate hp numbers. I always ended up going back to miatas after trying different platforms. I think 997 is a perfect blend of analog and modern with that classic styling that won’t date.

    • @thedevthing
      @thedevthing  2 місяці тому

      That’s amazing, congrats on the start of your journey.
      Max HP is all about bragging rights 😂
      997 would put a smile on your face on the streets without the scare of jail time 😂
      Congrats again on taking that first step. Look forward to seeing it materialize.

      Please get it bore scoped before you buy it, I have a bore score car. I rebuilt the engine to a 4.1L so it had a happy ending but spending your money and finding out it has a bad engine can be devastating and a financial burden

    Thank you for this video. I am a new subscriber from Los Angeles California, but watching you over here on the big island of Hawaii. This red 997 is nice thank you and I’ve looked at your other videos. You make some nice videos you guys thank you and I definitely need your videos over here on the island because we don’t have very many Porsches on the big island. There are people with them over here but I’m not a lot of them over here. Well thank you so much for this video. I’m thinking about buying one of these myself and I am a Porsche owner.🤙🏿🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

    Love the 3.6 C2 manual. I have a Nov 11 3.6 997.2 and have similar mods under the skin, KWV3, uprated engine mounts, quick shift, bypass exhaust, forged wheels etc. I also have a 991.1 GT3 and whiles I love both there is something special about the 997.2 manual. Don't sell it for a GT4 you will regret it !!

    Not sure why people like to shit on a cayman like it is an inferior car. I own both a 718GTS and a 992s , and the cayman is amazing. I don’t really feel one is “better” than the other. They both excel at different things , and are both glorious

    • @thedevthing
      @thedevthing  9 місяців тому +3

      I hope we didn’t give off the impression that the cayman is inferior. I agree with your points.
      If I could have both I would. But as a personal preference I would take a 911 first if I had to choose one.
      I recently had to decide between my GT3RS and the GT4RS. It took me weeks before I could decide to pass on the 4RS 😅
      Sometimes I look back and think it was a mistake 😂

      Cayman is so far from an inferior car. I have a 997.2 911 I've also had a 911 turbo, my brother's have Caymans one has a 981.2 the other a 718 & they are the single greatest gentleman sports cars for the money in all of automobilia. I own 911s I'm a 911 guy but the Porsche Cayman is the greatest car ever made. Flat out.

      Remember, most of the commenters have never owned or driven either car. I’ve owned a widow maker ( 930 ) a carrera 4s , a gt2 ( pure track ) and just purchased a T . Every Porsche model has a purpose and budget in mind when built. All are outstanding machines if used for their purpose. Hell, a VW GTI can be a blast if driven correctly!

    Always cracks me up when there is the occasional comment (I think this is the second time I’ve heard it on this channel) about how much more “modern” the .2 plastic interior pieces painted black look than the sort of bronze color on the .1. I happen to have a .1, guards red, cup lip, GT3 front bumper and rear wing, OZ wheels, 991.2 GT3RS Steering wheel and I never ever look at those black plastic pieces as such a big deal, I guess the host of this show really does? Very very rarely see people comment about it or update (as it would be very very simple to do) to the black. But ok, I guess.

    • @thedevthing
      @thedevthing  8 місяців тому +2

      Awesome thank you for your comment and thank you for sharing details of your car.
      My comment about .2 interior is a view I have when I glance at it that’s all. It’s an opinion and I am glad it’s provides comedic value 😂
