    I got into my 08 turbo eight years ago and have never regretted my purchase. I have, during my ownership, have done all the maintenance and upgrades to my car. Other than a stage 1 tune, my Porsche has become my perfect 997.1 turbo. 😊 I have an E46 M3 as a stablemate to my amazing Porsche and recently added a 3rd gen John Cooper Works Mini as my new daily driver. Both the Porsche and M3 are taken out whenever I have an itch to drive them. As far as I am concerned, I have the perfect garage for me😊
    As far as I am concerned, I feel I have the perfect generation of Porsche 911 turbo and BMW M3 sitting in my garage. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love the analog driving experience both cars provide every time I take either out for a good drive😊

      I have a 997.1 tip turbo as well. Don't let people crap on the tip. Yeah I sometimes miss rowing gears but that transmission is very good and can take punishment as well as help you maintain still-to-this-day incredible acceleration.@@tomburns890

    Literally probably the best all round Porsche 911 out there...hence the price. Speed, looks, feel, pedigree, classic design but with modern reliability. I mean people put 200k miles on these. That's ridiculous for a performance car with 480hp and a 0-60 time sub 4 sec. Ferrari's with 30k miles are considered high mileage. Genuinely, as a car enthusiast, this car blows my mind.
    Worth mentioning that whilst this car is expensive it still costs the same as a base Carrera 993. Could be considered a bargain still.

    Depends on the person. I love mine. In the U.S they came w 480hp. Had the 991 turbo and went back to my 997 turbo techart. This car is a drivers car. It's analog. It's not all electric steering and you feel every bit of the car.

    The wheels are fire on it. The 997 turbo manual is got more desirable because of the transmisson and lot of people don’t like the growing size of the model and a touchscreen mountains what is in the 992 series.

      Mezger, as in Stan Mezger. A Porsche engineer behind the GT1 engine that won LeMans. Mezger engines are endurance racing engines first fitted to the 935 as early as 1976. Then the 962 and then 959, 993, 996, 997 in turbo form only.

    997.1 Turbo Similar to a Nissan Z because it’s 6 cylinder and 400ish hp?!?!?
    So I suppose it’s also similar to an M3, supra GR, Kia Stinger and an XJ220 too??
    Let’s ignore the fact that it’s a V6 vs a boxer 6 or it’s a front engine/RWD vs a rear engined/AWD car 😂😂

    Only a fool would pay over $90k USD for one of the most highly produced water cooled 911s in modern times, mezger or not these cars have coolant issues, ram issues and with a $8k invest only match the performance of a DFI Turbo with a tune. 997.2 were a 1/4 of volume of 997.1 cars and the 3.8 DFI is still used today 14yrs later
