    Congratulations man! You won't get tired of it. Don't ever sell it, keep it forever.
    I bought a 997.2 Carrera S with no aero kit. Has the same wheels as yours. Love that thing, and love blasting through corners with it.

    Congratulations! You finally have taken the Porsche Red Pill and will never look at cars the same way again! I have owned a 2006 997.1 Carrera 4S for 14 years now. Purchased with 6k miles, pristine/new condition. 14 yrs later, now it has 95k miles, and I still love it! It still thrills me and looks so good rolling down the road. I have driven the newer Porsches and although they may be faster and feel newer with the latest tech/gadgets, I have yet to be able to justify upgrading for the price difference. The joy to drive versus price of admission is just not there for me to upgrade. I love the 997/987s that much. Great, simple, beautiful cars. Great spec you got. Enjoy in good health!

  • @francis191
    @francis191 7 місяців тому

    Congrats Stef. Just bought my first Porsche 4 days ago. It is a 991.1 Carrera S convertible. I have come from a long line of Mercs with the last 2 being a SL500 and a SL 63. There is no comparison to the Porsche. The 997 and 991.1 share the same NA engine so I get the joy of listening to the engine from 6K revs upwards. Enjoy and keep up updated.
    The SL63 had 585 BHP but the Porsche is a different level. Power without control is nothing!

    Congratulations. I test drove a c4s 997.1 on Saturday. I couldn’t believe how heavy the clutch was. The steering was heavy but probably cause I’m use to a m4.
    How it got down the road. I completely get why ppl crave them. As I do now. M4 will be going. Who cares about speed n numbers it’s how it feels n drive

    I’ve owned my 997 4s for 7 years now. Love the buzz it gives me and all the analogue stuff you mentioned are true. Newer cars are faster for sure but they feel disconnected compared to this generation.
    Sadly may have to sell mine soon to pay for some building works but will be back in the market for one as soon as I can afford the next one.

    Beautiful car. I was in the market for one of these, but a Turbo Tip with 44k miles came up for sale that I couldn't pass up. The manual version of my car was out of my budget but I'm still pinching myself that I have a Turbo 911. If I "need" the manual in the future, this is exactly what I'd get. Subscribed!! Also, I couldn't agree that the 997 shape is by far the best looking 911.

    Stunning car fella. Whatever generation you want, always just go for the one that’s right when the chance presents itself. My dad looked for ages for his g series, ended up calling into the Porsche centre near to where he was at a meeting in Corby, sales exec showed him a few in stock, including the one he bought - it was stunning condition, and had his dream spec (leather, sports seats in nice colour, good stereo, alarm and immobiliser, whale tail, sunroof etc. The dealer said they’d bring it down to Surrey when they could but he picked it up 3 weeks later when he finished his deal and loved it so much he kept it for 20 years.
