The 991 is the perfect balance of performance, design, luxury, history and drivability. You keep the more traditional looking rear slats, with the curviness of the 911 but with a truly luxurious interior, an amazingly fun car to drive and of course the NA engine
I think the 991.1 is a future classic. I recently got a 991.1 GTS and it is the best sounding and most useable daily driver Porsche I have ever owned! Also, the interior is far and away much nicer than the 997 I used to own.
@@ravipankhania5528 I am pretty sure 991.2 is faster and better performance wise but 991.1 is the last NA Carrera so it will be more collectable and price will go up more
Great video for prospective buyers like me! Been in and out of the 911 market for a few years and am settling on a 991 now that I'm a dad. Need the extra room and no longer have the balls to roll the dice on M96/97 engines with an extra mouth to feed. Thanks for making this.
I know how you feel, becoming a dad feels like a risk all by itself.. you don’t want to add extra stress. But.. nothing will give you greater joy! 🙌 My dad always had cool cars, he never gave up his passions. He’s now in heaven, but I don’t give up my passions.. because I saw it in him. Now my kids also see me, I hope they also never give up their passions.. You see how important it really is? Get the Porsche 👊👊 Trevor thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Great video! I bought a 2013 991.1 Carrera S Cabriolet not only because I loved the way it looks but since it was the last of the naturally aspirated engines and it does not disappoint. It has all the power one would need. I absolutely love this car!
Fantastic choice! 💯 The sound is even better with the top down! 🚀🚀 Most people don’t realize that the 991 Cabrio’s top is made of metal sections, it’s next level engineering! 👊👊 Thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
That would be one of my choices too! 🙌🙌 The early 991.1 are going up in value! Why?? It’s the last naturally aspirated non-GT 911! 💥💥 AlenJ thanks for watching! 🔥
Just got my full loaded mint 2017 991.2 turbo s. It’s been tuned by Es motors stage two as soon as I got it 750 bhp now. Ceramic brakes are awesome and handling so so sharp
The 991 is a great Porsche! 🙌🙌 The best time to shop for one is in the Winter, prices can be 15%-18% less VS the Spring 😎 ClearCandorTV thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
The door card problem is a BIG ONE! It happened to my 991 and Porsche glued them back together and it happened again. I had to get new ones and they aren't cheap!
Kenny, that’s Correct! 💯💯 Nothing at the dealership is cheap. Many people have had good results gluing it back with industrial adhesives, the prep work is still time consuming Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Ok, Max Headroom, too many jump cuts. I liked your 997 video, subed, going to look at others, only could do 3 minutes on this one, dig the 5 o'clock and stache game. To God be the Glory
Another world class video. Your pace hold the viewer’s attention and your candor is refreshing. Still hoping you’ll do a Panamera video at some point! Keep up the fantastic work.
Great video. And all these points (apart from rear steering) can be applied to 981/982 Caymans, because they are mostly based on identical parts. 10 years in and my 981 still looks and feels brand new.
This video should be split into two, the 991.1 and the 991.2. I much prefer my 991.1 GTS with my 7-speed manual. I have driven the 992 S and 4S on the track with a PDK...just not what I would buy as my personal vehicle. 2:39 looks like the Mario Andretti Straightaway at MOSPORT, except I am looking at it through my windshield. 6:46 I've heard about PCCB issues but I have never experienced any in my GTS. They are quiet and operate at any temperature like any other brake system but with no brake dust.
@@HernanSpeed I would never consider a PDK for street use. On the track I can take either, a manual or a PDK. I lucked into my 2015 991.1 GTS. The original owner only put 157 kms or 98 miles on it in the 3Y 1M that he owned it. I snapped it up and basically bought a new car with tons of factory options, with warranty and CPO. Hooked up my Durametric and checked for over-revs (none) and paint thickness to be sure. It was like winning the lottery as I did not want a 991.2.
I know what you mean! 💯💯 The dashboards on the C7 3LT’s were even upgraded in 2009 with better staples to hold the leather in place, but it still happens.. If you ever replace the dashboard, the vinyl ones hold up 1000% better. But…it’s all a small price to pay for have that amazing Corvette engine! 🚀🚀🚀 Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Great video, as a 991.1 owner I have to say you hit the best points and pointed out some of the common flaws, which in this gen are pretty rare. One big one to add is the 3.1 PCM that has been known to have hard drive failures, constant cycling restarting or just plain crapping out entirely. $4k CAD to replace it from Porsche. Besides this, I’ve been very satisfied with the 991.1, it’s a truly amazing car to own and driving it is exhilarating. Anyone thinking about one should just go ahead and do it!
@@HernanSpeed Without Porsche Sports Exhaust, the car is very quiet. It won’t make the noise people are probably looking for. I upgraded to the Soul Performance Valved Exhaust. It makes a world of a difference and I’d never go back. Here’s a couple videos I made on my channel: ua-cam.com/video/BQbGUCho9-Q/v-deo.htmlsi=E2LnDjQpbLrXcNFe Stock vs Soul back to back comparison video. Massive difference! ua-cam.com/video/BQbGUCho9-Q/v-deo.htmlsi=A5VsJBKPi_ahLF_h Also, how about the first 7 speed manual transmission ever built for the road. It is perfection and the manual transmission cars fetch a higher aftermarket price because they are more rare. Moreover, from my experience with PCA, it seems like the door panel warping happens only to the non leather packaged cars. So, for those looking to avoid that problem, find one spec’d with the leather package (dash, doors etc). I never knew about the leather dash method they used for the 991’s that was an amazing fact I learned! Keep up the awesome videos.
My 2017 GTS needed a new engine at 18K miles. Normal non track driver here. Regular maintenance. Porsche did step up and replace it under CPO but, it was stunning to need a new engine at that mileage. Not sure I agree with the longevity comments. Enjoying a 718 spyder now.
The 718 Sounder is incredible, especially the SOUND! 🙌🙌 Many times Porsche will replace an engine if it needs a bit more diagnosing, they prefer to do it at the factory. So you’ll rarely see new Porsche engines being opened up at authorized dealers, they all get shipped back to get inspected by the engineer’s. I understand that it can be worrisome, but this has been standard practice since the 996. Daveyator thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Yes. I would go with the (Fabspeed Porsche 991 Carrera Supersport X-Pipe Exhaust System). It’s excellent! 🙌 Keep your existing mufflers packed in a safe place in case you ever sale the car. Fabspeed mufflers are also easy to resell because they’re well known. That being said, you’ll really start enjoying your 911 this enhancement!
It's. Going up in value 991.1. Just like a Porsche 993. They sound like a Ferrari f 355. But way better The one to have is a 2 s. Rear wheel. Drive not the 4 s. But all are still nice
Those are the last naturally aspirated non-GT 911’s, I can see why they’re going up. They’ll go even higher if Porsche goes all electric with 911’s 💯💯 Donna Chelsea thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
I owned a 991.1 GTS... Fantastic car, great engine, great performance and styling. I sold the car due to a few reasons... lack of rawness, feels too much like a daily driver. The size compared to the previous svelte 911 cars was enormous, and ultimately, I just couldn't get that driver/machine connection with the car. I immediately bought a 997.2 S after selling the GTS. With that said, these are just my opinions, and ultimately the 991 should not be overlooked either way. Cheers
Yesss, the 997.2’s are incredible! Great choice! 🙌🙌 The great thing about all 911’s is that with a few mods, they all can get some of that chainsaw rawness back!💥👊 Mikesav9 thanks for watching! 🔥
@@jimsc2 No, they're absolutely not the same. I own both. Do you? If you did, you'd understand conclusions from real world experiences instead of from UA-cam videos.
Most definitely, specially on the highway! 🙌 💯 But, it also has a dual personality. Most people will never really explore the limits of the 991, a track is needed for that 😎 Joe Lee thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
I have a 991.2 love it- the low down pull makes daily driving awesome. Still revs to 7200 rpm with fireworks top end . I know I know the sound is not as good NA but who cares
Correct! 💯 It had the 1st versions of the electric steering rack. It’s numb.. But guess what? It’s the same rack that’s found on the GT3 991.1! Those have totally different steering feel! It’s all in the software calibration, and many people are already modifying it to feel closer to the GT3’s! 🙌🙌 Dan Tam thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Compared to most older Porsche’s, this new series of engines are as low maintenance as it gets! Get a solid PPI on any potential car you’re looking at, if all checks out….enjoy! 👊👊
Very helpful but I'm still torn! About to pull the trigger on my first 911 and unsure whether to go for a 991.1 or .2! I know the turbos are going to increase the usability but just HOW much more useable is the .2? And don't disrespect CarPlay!🤣There's a £10k is price difference between the 2 GTS models in the UK so is it worth the extra? The non turbo is more 'pure'? It's such a tough choice!
Go drive both, the turbos on the .2 are immediately noticeable when you first merge into traffic…big difference 🚀🚀 If it’s a PDK, I’d also seriously look at the .2 because the transmission is always up-shifting to the highest gear to save gas…so the extra low end torque is more noticeable. Plus you can easily up the boost for more powaaaa!💥💥🚀 I like the sound of the 0.1 with upgraded exhaust and a manual, it’s not fast…but I’m okay with that. Go drive both, one will stir your heart!👊💥👊 James thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
They have essentially the same engines, but a massive difference in platforms. The 991.1 Turbo is more of a Grand Tourer VS the 997.2 Turbo. If you’re looking for a weekend toy to have fun, go with the 997. If you need a daily speed missile, go with the 991. Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Thanks man. Great videos! Yes I am after a daily commute that will always leave a grin 😀 on my face after travelling home-work-home and the weekend drives.
Great video! I was looking at a used 991.1 4S manual, I literally found none for months. Obviously because anyone who got one just kept it for himself, outstanding value. So I ended up with 4S .2 manual (which also was very challenging to find) and I am happy even if it's the turbo engine, driven almost daily and zero problems (and a lot of fun)! No regrets (just a bit lol).
Yess! The manuals are the hardest to find, they’re all commanding a huge premium! It’s reported that less than 10% off the Carrera’s where manuals, and less 25% of the GT3’s! 😳 I understand the PDK is great, but the manual is worth searching for! The 991.2 is a BEAST when you up the boost, the engine is more than capable of handling huge amounts of power….the results are shocking! 💥💥 I think you’ve got a great one, no regrets! 🙌 Phileas thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Absolutely! 👊💯 It’s definitely a daily driver, all year long. Even the manual has a super light clutch and the shifter is smooth….the PDK is even better for the Miami traffic. Find a nice one, you can’t go wrong 🚀✅ Joda thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
@@HernanSpeed this is exactly what I am looking for a daily driver to enjoy not just a weekend car. I have a Mercedes SL that I already made 40,000 miles on it in 3 years and loved every minute of it. I like to drive and enjoy what I buy because I am not a museum 😂. I love your videos they are great and I learn from them - thank you very much.
Soon people will discover how susceptible the 9A1 engine is to bore scoring and the .2’s will be more cherished. My 997.2 was on its 3 motor when I sold it at 66,500 miles. Never again.
When the car is under warranty, Porsche actually prefers to swap out the engine. It’s actually easier/faster than diagnosing potential issues. A separate team of engineers takes them apart to inspect it. This happened a lot with the M96’s/M97’s, it’s less common now.
All 911’s are seriously cushy after the 964, you daily them all! 💯 But I live in Miami, and parking spaces are small…and always full. So 997 for me …less of a chance of it getting banged up in tight spaces 😅 But if I lived in Texas, I’d be leaning towards to 991. Everything is bigger in Texas, even parking spots 🙌👊
991.1 is great, its reliable and quite comfortable because of the longer wheelbase. However, it feels too modern and too airy as in the interior just does not feel 911 enough. For a daily driver its great, but I sold my 991.1 C2S PDK and went back in to a 997. The nostalgia and feel of a 997 trumps the 991. In addition, make sure you have warranty on these 991.1s, the LSD went on mine and there was a coolant leak all covered under warranty. Also, PDK is quite costly to repair if it goes wrong, that kept playing on my mind once Porsche warranty was finished. Manual if you can but PDK if you have warranty. Also I wishe the sunroof would go in to the roof itself rather than overhang over the roof when opened. The 997 does this and keeps the lines.
Great points! 🙌🙌 I was going to include some of them in this vid…but it got too long. The PDK’s take extreme abuse, but they can be over $18k to replace. Most have been bombproof. I haven’t seen anyone reliably rebuild them, so you must buy directly from Porsche 💵💵 The engine is shared with the 997.2, they have been robust. Enjoy your 997! It’s an incredible car, the size adds to it in a way that numbers don’t tell…fits like a glove! Amir Rao thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Is it worth buying a 991 PDK with over 70k miles? I would get it inspected by Porsche first but just wondering if its worth it with PDK issues mentioned.
No way, it’s just getting started! 💯💯 Make sure you get a good deal, and have it checked out at a shop before buying (PPI). Also, make sure it’s the spec you really want! 👊👊
Porsches are grossly over rated. they are not worth the money they ask for. it's the same basic shape over and over again for 3 decades. Some of the cars are so darn ordinary I dont even if the people are praising it even know why they are praising it. Example would be GT4. it's the most ordinary car I have owned or driven. No torque at the lower end. The first and second gears are so tall. it's not even fast. It doesnt have an impressive exhaust. GT3RS is another perfect example. is taht car even worth half a million Hell NO !!!
Interesting comment friend. They’re overrated relative to what? You must have some basis of comparison to arrive at this conclusion 💯 Thanks for watching! 🔥🔥

Just acquired a 2015 targa and I do love the sound of the NA engine. But to be honest a little more torque would be nice.
Congrats man! 👊👊 An exhaust upgrade will change completely change the feel, it’ll take it to another level! Look into it, totally worth it 💯
@@HernanSpeed what would be you’re top two recommendations?
Yes. I would go with the (Fabspeed Porsche 991 Carrera Supersport X-Pipe Exhaust System). It’s excellent! 🙌
Keep your existing mufflers packed in a safe place in case you ever sale the car. Fabspeed mufflers are also easy to resell because they’re well known. That being said, you’ll really start enjoying your 911 this enhancement!
Well it’s winter time and I want a 991 now.
And wait till Spring comes; the ‘Want’ grows even bigger! 💯👊👊
The One And Only thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
It's. Going up in value 991.1. Just like a Porsche 993. They sound like a Ferrari f 355. But way better The one to have is a 2 s. Rear wheel. Drive not the 4 s. But all are still nice
Those are the last naturally aspirated non-GT 911’s, I can see why they’re going up. They’ll go even higher if Porsche goes all electric with 911’s 💯💯

I owned a 991.1 GTS... Fantastic car, great engine, great performance and styling. I sold the car due to a few reasons... lack of rawness, feels too much like a daily driver. The size compared to the previous svelte 911 cars was enormous, and ultimately, I just couldn't get that driver/machine connection with the car. I immediately bought a 997.2 S after selling the GTS. With that said, these are just my opinions, and ultimately the 991 should not be overlooked either way. Cheers
Yesss, the 997.2’s are incredible! Great choice! 🙌🙌 The great thing about all 911’s is that with a few mods, they all can get some of that chainsaw rawness back!💥👊
Mikesav9 thanks for watching! 🔥
Mike did you pay attention to the video about the size comparison between the 997 & 991? There're basically the same.
@@jimsc2 No, they're absolutely not the same. I own both. Do you? If you did, you'd understand conclusions from real world experiences instead of from UA-cam videos.
Nice video!
Thought you once said 991 = 928.2.
Most definitely, specially on the highway! 🙌 💯 But, it also has a dual personality. Most people will never really explore the limits of the 991, a track is needed for that 😎
Joe Lee thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Well done!
Mike thanks for watching! 🔥🔥👊
I have a 991.2 love it- the low down pull makes daily driving awesome. Still revs to 7200 rpm with fireworks top end . I know I know the sound is not as good NA but who cares
And it’s so easy to up the boost! Lighter & faster than the actual turbo model, plus it’s rear-wheel! 💥💥💯💯
Al Logan thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Good video. I believe 991.1 started to have non-hydraulic power steering.
Correct! 💯 It had the 1st versions of the electric steering rack. It’s numb.. But guess what? It’s the same rack that’s found on the GT3 991.1! Those have totally different steering feel! It’s all in the software calibration, and many people are already modifying it to feel closer to the GT3’s! 🙌🙌
Dan Tam thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
What about the 3.8cc engine? Is it low maintenance?
Compared to most older Porsche’s, this new series of engines are as low maintenance as it gets! Get a solid PPI on any potential car you’re looking at, if all checks out….enjoy! 👊👊
@@HernanSpeed thanks for the reply. I’m quite worried because I read the 3.8 cc engine very fragile
Where did you read that? Sometimes you’ll have one guy that had a bad experience, then he writes a post scaring others..
@@HernanSpeed by the way is it the same base engine that the porsche using on their gt3 911.1
The engine in the GT3 is completely different, it’s based on a different architecture. So it might be the same size, but it’s a different design
Very helpful but I'm still torn! About to pull the trigger on my first 911 and unsure whether to go for a 991.1 or .2! I know the turbos are going to increase the usability but just HOW much more useable is the .2? And don't disrespect CarPlay!🤣There's a £10k is price difference between the 2 GTS models in the UK so is it worth the extra? The non turbo is more 'pure'? It's such a tough choice!
Go drive both, the turbos on the .2 are immediately noticeable when you first merge into traffic…big difference 🚀🚀 If it’s a PDK, I’d also seriously look at the .2 because the transmission is always up-shifting to the highest gear to save gas…so the extra low end torque is more noticeable. Plus you can easily up the boost for more powaaaa!💥💥🚀
I like the sound of the 0.1 with upgraded exhaust and a manual, it’s not fast…but I’m okay with that.
Go drive both, one will stir your heart!👊💥👊
James thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
my dream car till this day.... i will get it someday i hope
You will get it! 💯 Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Should I buy one? Sure! Just need the inheritance 🤷♂️
Haha! I know what you mean! 💯💯 You save on maintenance though Vs other models 🙌
nice video

Thoughts 997.2 turbo vs 991.1 turbo?!?
They have essentially the same engines, but a massive difference in platforms. The 991.1 Turbo is more of a Grand Tourer VS the 997.2 Turbo. If you’re looking for a weekend toy to have fun, go with the 997. If you need a daily speed missile, go with the 991.
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Thanks man. Great videos!
Yes I am after a daily commute that will always leave a grin 😀 on my face after travelling home-work-home and the weekend drives.
🙌🙌
Great video! I was looking at a used 991.1 4S manual, I literally found none for months. Obviously because anyone who got one just kept it for himself, outstanding value. So I ended up with 4S .2 manual (which also was very challenging to find) and I am happy even if it's the turbo engine, driven almost daily and zero problems (and a lot of fun)! No regrets (just a bit lol).
Yess! The manuals are the hardest to find, they’re all commanding a huge premium! It’s reported that less than 10% off the Carrera’s where manuals, and less 25% of the GT3’s! 😳 I understand the PDK is great, but the manual is worth searching for!
The 991.2 is a BEAST when you up the boost, the engine is more than capable of handling huge amounts of power….the results are shocking! 💥💥 I think you’ve got a great one, no regrets! 🙌

Finally!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

Love my 911 991.1 carrera 4s cabrio
That’s a great one, the Cabrio’s are great! 💯🚀
David thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
I am hopping to get one, can it be use for a daily driver in the Miami Traffic?
Absolutely! 👊💯 It’s definitely a daily driver, all year long. Even the manual has a super light clutch and the shifter is smooth….the PDK is even better for the Miami traffic. Find a nice one, you can’t go wrong 🚀✅
Joda thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Hernan Speed ROCKS!
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
The 991 has a nice design and must drive well. but if I had that money I would buy a 928 GTS😊. Thanks for the vid!
The poster on my wall is a blue 928GTS! 😎⚡️😎
Qwerty thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
@@HernanSpeed🎉😃
I never owned a 911! So would the 997.2 be the right entry for me?
You’ll love it! It’s also a great daily driver, not just for weekends. Thanks for watching! 👊👊
@@HernanSpeed this is exactly what I am looking for a daily driver to enjoy not just a weekend car. I have a Mercedes SL that I already made 40,000 miles on it in 3 years and loved every minute of it. I like to drive and enjoy what I buy because I am not a museum 😂.
I love your videos they are great and I learn from them - thank you very much.
That’s what I’m talking about! Cars are meant to be driven! 💯💯👊
What is the car behind him, just cant recognise

You need the week old no shave look. For the Miami model look you are so good at

Loved the content. Background sounds way too loud.

Great common sense video 👌👌👌

Well it's not lighter 997 GT3 is 1395kg 991 GT3 is 1430kg?
The GT3 is totally different animal, it even has a different engine VS Carrera’s. Will be doing GT3 specific videos soon! Thanks for watching man! 👊👊
Great video first time viewer. But that cut screen is so annoying. Put the tambourine down
Yeahhh, your not the first one telling me! 😆😆😆
CurtDragon thanks for watching man! 🔥🔥
Owned two 991s and much prefer the 997, which is much closer to the old-school feel of a true 911.
Man… I like the 997 more now than when it was new. I see them going into 993/964 territory soon! 🙌🙌
Aaron Munro thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Soon people will discover how susceptible the 9A1 engine is to bore scoring and the .2’s will be more cherished. My 997.2 was on its 3 motor when I sold it at 66,500 miles. Never again.
When the car is under warranty, Porsche actually prefers to swap out the engine. It’s actually easier/faster than diagnosing potential issues. A separate team of engineers takes them apart to inspect it. This happened a lot with the M96’s/M97’s, it’s less common now.
Yes,that's why I went .2 engine tone vs a possible bore score
The question here, for a daily driver, 997 or 991?
All 911’s are seriously cushy after the 964, you daily them all! 💯 But I live in Miami, and parking spaces are small…and always full. So 997 for me …less of a chance of it getting banged up in tight spaces 😅
But if I lived in Texas, I’d be leaning towards to 991. Everything is bigger in Texas, even parking spots 🙌👊
991 all day long!
991.1 is great, its reliable and quite comfortable because of the longer wheelbase. However, it feels too modern and too airy as in the interior just does not feel 911 enough. For a daily driver its great, but I sold my 991.1 C2S PDK and went back in to a 997. The nostalgia and feel of a 997 trumps the 991. In addition, make sure you have warranty on these 991.1s, the LSD went on mine and there was a coolant leak all covered under warranty. Also, PDK is quite costly to repair if it goes wrong, that kept playing on my mind once Porsche warranty was finished. Manual if you can but PDK if you have warranty. Also I wishe the sunroof would go in to the roof itself rather than overhang over the roof when opened. The 997 does this and keeps the lines.
Great points! 🙌🙌 I was going to include some of them in this vid…but it got too long.
The PDK’s take extreme abuse, but they can be over $18k to replace. Most have been bombproof. I haven’t seen anyone reliably rebuild them, so you must buy directly from Porsche 💵💵 The engine is shared with the 997.2, they have been robust.
Enjoy your 997! It’s an incredible car, the size adds to it in a way that numbers don’t tell…fits like a glove!
Amir Rao thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Haha so true it does fit like a glove. Great video btw and sure I understand, the video can get quite lengthy
Is it worth buying a 991 PDK with over 70k miles? I would get it inspected by Porsche first but just wondering if its worth it with PDK issues mentioned.
@@SilverCenturion74 what year is it?
Does not address the 991.1 GT3
Correct 💯💯 The GT3 is such a special Porsche, it deserves its own video 👊👊
Thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Would you be scared of. 991.1 with 78k miles?
No way, it’s just getting started! 💯💯 Make sure you get a good deal, and have it checked out at a shop before buying (PPI). Also, make sure it’s the spec you really want! 👊👊
991.2 Turbo S incoming
🙌🙌
I would go for a 2014 or 2015 991.1 Carrera S
And in great condition! 💯💯👊
Out last the owners? Can't I take it with me~ you mean there's no Porsche911 in Heaven...I don't believe it.

Your Correct 💯💯 But not many people knew about it.
Is that worldwide....?

buy a 991.2
A great buy! So easy to up the boost for even more POWAAA 🚀🚀
Er turbos.
So easy to up the boost and go warp speed!! 🔥🔥 Must resist! 👊👊
991 is top but this dudes face is hard to watch can’t you show a good looking girl and than just talk in the background
😆😆
Porsches are grossly over rated. they are not worth the money they ask for. it's the same basic shape over and over again for 3 decades. Some of the cars are so darn ordinary I dont even if the people are praising it even know why they are praising it. Example would be GT4. it's the most ordinary car I have owned or driven. No torque at the lower end. The first and second gears are so tall. it's not even fast. It doesnt have an impressive exhaust. GT3RS is another perfect example. is taht car even worth half a million Hell NO !!!
Interesting comment friend. They’re overrated relative to what? You must have some basis of comparison to arrive at this conclusion 💯
