Beautiful 911 and definitely by far the best combo between analogue and modern in the Porsche 911 lineup
The bore scope check is so useful on these. Glad you guys do them
Love this channel!
Essentially!!!!! “used to emphasize the basic, fundamental, or intrinsic nature of a person or thing”
Brilliant review, it’s tempting me to buy one
Do it, as soon as you own one you'll only wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
Love the drone shot
Thank you. A bit of effort goes into it and appreciate the recognition
Great car ❤️
A reliable Gen 1 997 is all one needs
Are they reliable?
@@kloschuessel773 5 years owner here...battery replacement, regular oil changes, and plugs. Mind you do all the work myself. Definitely a car for someone not afraid to wrench.
@@neilpithadia4312 how so?
With how many km one the clock did you buy?
What to look out for?
@@kloschuessel773 Bought it with 60k miles, has 80k miles now. Chances of IMS/RMS are lower w/well used vehicles. I would stay away from garage queens. Keep an eye on bore scoring, a simple borescope is good insurance. Join rennlist, tons of good info there. Best of luck!
@@neilpithadia4312 thank you
Solid Review.
Thank you for the kind comment
Love my 997
Thank you and great to hear 😊
Are you sure it was only a 5 speed ? cause I have the same base model and its a 6 Speed.
It's a 6 speed.
There is a lovely guards red one in car and classic at £32997,May be tempted...
Great video, do you sell those jackets? The white Porsche one on the video?
I wanted one too, send them an email and I’m sure they can sort one out
Hi. Your comment regarding the 3.6l engine not experiencing bore scoring issues as per the 3.8l engines. That true? Am asking as it may persuade me to settle for a base carrera 2! Thanks
Go for the base 911, plenty of power and lower risk of bore scoring
Soon I'll get one
Do it! Life too short!
Superb videos Basheer. I'm in the lucky position at present to buy a weekend toy. Shortlist; Carrera 2/4 S or Aston V8 4.7 Vantage. Your video reviews are brilliant fair play. Decisions decisions.🤔
Thank you, you may find this vid useful.

Hi Basheer, could you tell us what exhaust was on it ? I’m guessing it’s not from factory 😅, bypass maybe ?
Correct it’s not factory. It was a designtek switchable exhaust system
I've driven a 997.1 4s the engine sound is the best thing about it
Yes very addictive too
So it sounds different than 997.2 - and if so, , why?
I currently own both a BMW E85 Z4M and the equivalent Alpina Roadster S with circa 340 and 300 bhp respectively.
I have real hankering for one of these 997s but at close to double the price of either the Z4M or the Alpina for a good one, I’m struggling to make a really convincing financial argument for this 997.
Can comments convince me? Thanks
It’s a tough one financially, but once you go towards 911 you will always have one or yearn to have one. They are completely different to the cars you have had.
Hi again. My 997.1 was ordered with the Carrera classic 19 inch wheels. However when I bought it it had 09 Carrera s II wheels. I plan on going back to the original wheels that came on the car but wanted to know what is your favorite 997.2 factor wheel? Thx 😊
Hi my friend, sure glad you asked. I personally love the Porsche 997 Sport Design wheels for the Gen 1. They are ultimately the favourite of everyone at our business. I do like the simplicity of the Carrera Classic wheels but homework the Sport Design wheels are something else. If you message me on WhatsApp 07791261078. I will share a few pictures.
Oh cool! I’ll check those out!
@@invictusporsche yeah my wife and son prefer the sport design wheels as well!
@@invictusporsche for sure. Thx
Have you reviewed the 11/12 997.2 Gts?
We had a few coupe 997.2 GTS in stock and I reviewed a cabriolet 997.2 Carrera 4 GTS
6 speed manual, not 5 speed, right?
My 997.1 Carrera S Passing 120000 miles no issues
That’s amazing, I bet you maintain it well.
Is this wide body version..I thought c4s was only wide body?
I don't think this is the wide body
It isn’t the wide body, apologies mistake on our end
Hi Basheer. It`s the one for me. Please check your Autotrader messaging service and RSVP asap! Regards Andrew Byrt.
Is it really better than a gen 2 C2S?
For mechanical engine noise definitely, reliability no
I would go for the gen2 if I was in the market for one. You don't get the bore scoring issues, it's a direct injection engine, also the pdk transmission was introduced on that model if your looking for an automatic
@@wynhughes9072 the Gen 1 feels a bit more raw and also about £10k cheaper. The pdk is easier to daily so they both have their benefits
@@wynhughes9072 Don't forget that direct injection engines are prone to coking! It's not perfect either.
I believe they DO suffer from bore score
A small number of them do
