    This is probably my favorite gen of modern 911! The looks, sound and everything about it is perfect.

    Love our 991.2. Ours is a PDK Cab, but it’s the most livable/usable 911 I’ve ever had! I’d still sell it before my manual 997.1TT or 993. Perhaps because it does everything SO well, it feels less special (or maybe just less of an occasion) when I drive it.
    Love seeing your mix of cars! Most of us like them all! No reason to limit to just air-cooled.

    Thanks for sharing Will, I have been following your channel for a long time. It's nice to hear you're not moving away from the air cooled 911s. I think it's a little bit funny that you sold the 991.2 basically cuz you like it too much, but I get it. You have always looked forward to the next thing and that's why I love your channel. Keep the vids coming...

    For me, the 991.2 looks like an evolution from the 996. Soft curves. PSE and Sport Chrono are a must when looking for an S. The sound is amazing. Thanks.

    I've had two 991.2s and two 992s (targa and T each gen). I think I prefer the 991.2 sound and feel, but theres nice tech features in the 992. Anyways, I'm leaving all that behind for a 964 next week! 🙂

      I think you’d be surprised. The exhaust gives away the fact that it’s a turbo, but the car doesn’t make power like you’d expect a turbo to.

    The 991 is definitely a great car, but comfort, head unit, exhaust note, etc are features you can get in a Lexus coupe. Yes, the 991 is arguably better looking and has the better badge, but the delta between it and “normal” cars is smaller. Anyone can slip into a 992, drive it daily, and never probe its limits. Again, great car, but the experience isn’t all that unique.

    • @Rennthusiast
      @Rennthusiast  9 місяців тому +1

      I think there’s definitely room for a 991 or 992 in a garage where there are also other options such as air cooled or mid engined Porsches.

    This is one fine car, hope the replacement will equal or surpass it. How can this 911 model be fake? Plenty of luxury.

    You often mention "dont drive it too much or depreciating will be an issue"
    Whats your sweetspot before you sell it? 5k? 10k? Or depends on the current market

    • @Rennthusiast

      With this one I felt like I would get hurt at like 25,000 as I recall. It’s been a bit. Maybe 20,000. Either way I feel like rounded numbers of 5 to 10 cause a buyer to feel less compelled to jump on a listing.
      I drive most of my cars without care for mileage but when I know I’m gonna move one on I don’t like to keep adding.

    • @Rennthusiast
      @Rennthusiast  9 місяців тому

      I have never driven a 991.1. I did own a 997.2 which I believe has a similar engine as the 991.1. I felt like the motor in the 997.2 lacked character. Plenty fast but missing depth somehow.
      That said, I can’t give you a true comparison as I won’t weigh in on cars I haven’t driven…some will do that but I am intent on giving viewers only authentic insights based on experience.
      Thanks for watching!

      21,000. I wanted to keep it under 25,000 before I sold it.

      1. I wanted to replace it with a similar 911 that wasn’t black/black, among other things.
      2. I wanted to sell it before it hit 25,000 miles.
      3. I am replacing it with a 992 Carrera T which I imagine will be a keeper.
