@@brianhimmelman420 definitely left plenty on the table for people to make comments about 😅 992 ST 991 R 997 4.0 993 GT2(included).. So many great 911's have been made it's really an opinion thing. A 991.2 GTS could be, or beat, the equivalent of the best version of almost any other (non-911) car ever produced.
Yes the best, even better with a Milltek center muffler bypass. Own a 997 gts manual cab and will never sell it. Manual 997 GTS are quite hard to find in Europe, particularly for convertible.
I would have to choose one from each generation as they are all full of such great character. The latest generations are unreal for sure but I would have such a tough time deciding on only one. I can tell all of my favourites would have a manual transmission!
It's too hard to choose just a few, you have at least 2 or 3 very special cars in every generation, so there will be always a great model that will be missed in a short list
Great video! Agree on the choices. I have a 76 Turbo, third car sold in US. Everything you described. Also, have a 2012 4 GTS manual cabriolet. Made in September so must be one of the last 997 GTS manufactured. Great car in all respects. Phil in Minnesota
…My "four wheel" wildest dream, was an Honda "NSX" for more than 20 years…But I ended as a second option for half the price, with a 996 C4S in my garage… Frustrated dream…but not gonna complain though…😉
For pure driving experience, handling, excitement, usability, reliability and value for money, nothing beats the 991.2 base Carrera (with your favourite options).
I believe one of the greatest 911s has to be the Carrera 3.2 CS - limited to around 300 units, power to weight similar to the 2.7 RS and the last 911 without ABS and Power steering, therefore the last of the purist driving 911s.
In the late 1990's I took out a test drive, the car was 993 Carrera 4S. It turned into a 100 mile test drive, which the sales man didn't even blink, plus the high speeds which were attained. The cars price used from Porsche was £47,000. The 911 all of them hold a special place for millions and millions of people. Well done.
The best 911 is'nt from Porsche IMO it's a RUF ❣️😅 The latest RUF Tribute with aircooled engine and the SCR+CTR with carbon Chassis, the shape of the 964 and manual shifting ❕👌🏼 Only the price of around 900.000€ is sad 😜
As a owner of many sports cars over my life since I started driving (with 4 of them being made by Porsche) I can honestly say that while all were great cars and I loved them all, the best one is the 992.1 S version that I feel is about as great as you can get. Manual transmission in all of them. No sports car should be equipped with an automatic transmission. An automatic transmission in a sports car is like dating your cousin. It is just wrong.
Full list from someone that has owned a lot (from the water cooled era) - 996.2 GT3, 996 GT3 RS, 987 Cayman R, 987 Cayman Spyder, 997.2 GTS, 997.1-.2 GT3 and GT3 RS (inc. 4L), 981 GTS, 981 GT4, 981 Spyder, 991.1 GTS, 991 911 R, 991.1 GT3 RS, 991.2 GT3 Touring and GT3, 991.2 GT3 RS, 991 GT2 RS, 982 GTS 4L, 982 GT4, 982 Spyder, 982 Spyder RS, 982 GT4 RS if you own anyone of these you're in great shape. There is only one turbocharged car in this list.
Bizarre - no 2.7 RS , no post 2000 RS's at all? ? - in particular the 2007 997 RS , 2012 4.0 RS , current 992 RS - NO compilation of greatest 911's can ever exclude at least one of these. If this production was meant to be thought provoking , then you have certainly achieved that !!! NOT to forget the Le Mans winning 911 GT1. Suggest you put more effort into your next video - terribly unsatisfactory!!!!!
997.2 3RS. 991 GT3 Touring. 964 Carrera RS.

The 997 GTS manual is simply the best 911 ever made.
@@ianharries9480 prices are very close to the gt3, sadly

Wow what a great selection and including pictures of my actual GT3. Love it
Love the 930 series. Always my fave
964 days of the best , a link to the 959 & the last of the great classic 911 shape (lights) 👍👍👍
991.2 Touring
correct

The best is the one you can own
In my case was the 930.
Porsche has made some amazing cars off the 911 base.
The best? Is the mine 😎

I still have not bought one, but, I still very much do want one. Yes please.
It’s all nice and cute but the reality is that the greatest is … the one you have in your garage!

They are all great
Any 997.1 ❤.
I would choose the 992 S/T without hesitation👌 😎
@@carfan3762 The shame is it will cost $450K plus to obtain one.

The upside is that to dream costs nothing 😄
Missing the 991.2 Carrera T
964 RS, 997.2 GT3 RS and of course the 992 GT3 RS.
Worthy mentions ... 996 Turbo, 997 Turbo, 997 GTS, 991 GTS.
Call me old fashion. 930 all day.
993 Turbo, 991 Touring.
@@flavioc5389 993 Turbo indeed. Perfect size for carving up the mountain curves

Carrera RS?

993 Carrera S
996 Turbo S/ X50
997 GT3 RS 4.0

Porsche 911 Classic, the legend lives !
991.2 GT3
I'm stuck between getting a 992S or 991.2 GTS 🤔
The best car😊
Next time: Ferrari Midengine V8s… ❤

1974 Fittipaldi Porsche 911 IROC RSR
997.2 GTS
997.2 manual for me please…

930 Please
Mine! 996 Carrera RS Tribute!
996 turbo
GT2 RS
911 993 WILL DO ME NICELY
The best worst 911(996 M96) is the 40th Anniversary(40 Jahre). Magnificent car.
993 GT2
992.1

Def manual is #1, but I’d say N.A. is #2…
😮😮😮
993 GT2 is the most expensive. One was sold at Sotherbys at 2.4 million dollars. So I guess it makes it the most desirable, huh?
997.2 GTS wins
Best 3.2 and 964 C2, worst any C4 and 996.
Nope
And I’ll give you a hint:
It’s a primary color that barks
991.1 GTS outdoes the 997 GTS in nearly every way
Not a single RS car? 🙄
993 RS3.8 😘
800kg...?!
You missed the 996 C4S. In my opinion one of the best. And I predict prices will double in the next 5 years...
964 C4 on a best 911 list? really? and a 996....not a video I can support
The 964 should be as one of the greatest. A link to the 959 & the last of the great 911 shape 👍
@@Laguna2013 Heavens forbid a 996 and a 964 C4 make the list. It's a shame you weren't consulted first.
So, do you, or have you ever owned one?

996 leading the pack 🤦🏻♂️🤡
996.2 is a great Porsche
…no 911. Dog poo is less common than a 911, they are the unthinking person’s choice of sports car.
🤡 and vulgar to boot.
Thanks for sharing. Spend all day posting insults or just on Porsches?
…Have you ever “sniffed" an 911’s exhaust smoke and didn’t like the taste?…
With the engine in the back..........NONE
You've never driven one.
