997 is the best 911.

Great father and son story, and success story on waiting for the right spec...which sometimes finds you.

My Father died a month ago. He left me a 2001 911 carrera 4 with 1400 miles. This video made me smile. While you grew up in the SC targa. My dad was into the 928’s and 964’s when I was a little kid.

Exactly the same for me. The 997 is the sweet spot. I have a 997.2 Turbo cabriolet with manual transmission over eight years now and have driven 58.000 miles and it is here to stay for the next 30 years. I hope I can still get the petrol for it in the future. Have fun with your car!

Thanks so much, Will, for having me in the channel to share my passion for Porsche and specifically my 997.2. I’m confident the video will be helpful for those Rennthusiasts out there interested in these models and wanting an ownership perspective. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t also provide my thanks for you allowing me to get behind the wheel and row through the gears in your amazing 993. Air cooled appreciation indeed.

“Sometimes the right car finds you.” That is SUCH a true statement! It’s all about the process. Thanks for sharing your beautiful 997.2. I’m looking for that same generation but a C4S for all-weather driving to go along with my 981 Boxster S!

James clearly loves high end German stuff. He's the go to guy for HK firearms training, knew I recognized him from somewhere. Nice car and vid! I've got a 997.1 c2s myself and love the car.

First off, thank you for including some water-cooled content. If you're a 911 enthusiast, the water cooled era is simply another chapter of the 911 story that should be loved and shared. As an owner of an '04 996 C4S, I'm continually surprised by (and personally thankful for) the IMS fear-hype on the 996 and 997.1 generation's m96 /m97 motors. To permanently fix the IMS issue, it's the same ballpark price as getting front brakes and rotors done! (Around $2k depending on where you get it fixed) - It could be looked at as standard maintenance! No doubt both 996 and 997's are awesome machines.

I have a lovely 996. The IMS is a NON ISSUE. Due to the age of 996’s, they have either failed already and been changed, or were changed for peace of mind. It affected about 5% of 996’s in the early days, but we are pushing 20+ years now. Great analog car to drive and I couldn’t be happier. With that said, his 997 is gorgeous and may be my next P car.

When I picked up my low mileage 2011 C2S 6sp coupe in 2016 the salesman told me to definitely hang on to it. He claimed he was recommending his friends get 997.2s as well. It was my first Porsche and thought it was just sales BS at the time, His claims have proven to be true. I love this car. I also like the fact that it has nearly doubled in value since I bought it.

If I’d seen this video a few months ago, I may have stuck with the 997 that I was closing in on……but, ultimately, I opted for a 991 with more of the creature comforts of a modern car. It was close but I could afford the cost difference so I went for it. Great video.

Took me a while to get to this video but I'm certainly glad that I did. James' analysis of the 997 is spot on and echoes my feelings as well -- it is a modern classic that is thrilling to drive and enjoyable to live with. I have a 2005 Carrera that looks very similar to James's car -- silver with black leather (I do wish I had those ventilated seats - Texas can be hot in the summer). I chose the 2005 specifically because of the IMS issue. Prices are lower than the 997.2 but you are hardly giving up anything in performance and livability. The 2005 model year engine is different than later 997.1's in that the IMS can be easily accessed and replaced at a reasonable cost. I feel I have a great car and I love driving it! Cheers from Round Rock.

Awesome! Glad you took the leap to expand the content Will. Air Cooled centric but punctuated by other 911 generations is a winning combo 👌🏻💥

Great guy! Really happy with his review. Just got a manual 05 C2S. IMS was done by previous owner possibly just to get it out of the way. So very happy being back with a manual.

I grew up in a family of old Plymouth station wagons and full size Chevy four doors. It's funny that I did not catch that addiction.

Good choice interviewing a former USMC Purple Heart Veteran! Thanks, James, for your service. He still has that military bearing and presence. Good man. As for the car--I secretly DO admire the 997.2S. I have a close friend who has a 2011 in white with tan leather. It's all manual including the seats! The first thing I noticed was the 100+ more hp than my 993's--my car felt pokey by comparison. The second thing was how comfy the 997.2S was to drive. The minuses? Way too quiet--his had the stock exhaust and intake. Steering was soft and over-boosted, and felt a little numb compared to my 993 (which also felt numb compared with my '88 Carrera non-power steering track car haha). Like James mentioned with his car's reliability--my friend's is bullet-proof--he's done very little, except the usual oil service. But--I'd never give up my 993 to exchange it for a 997.2S. If I had the scratch--I'd add the 997.2S as an interstate cruiser--but the 997.2S doesn't have that air-cooled character--and of course--no smell of old industrial machinery. I do agree--that the 997.2S is the last of the analog 911s, and if you must have a comfy 911 with analog appeal--the 997.2S is IT. Keep up the great work with your channel, Will! I can tell you work hard at it--as you look like you could use some sleep! Best regards, Bren 10 (I bet James knows what the Bren 10 is, and can handle one quite well).

That was a great interview. Thanks for sharing

997.2 x2 here C2S manual and a Turbo S, they are a sweet spot. Feels like the classic 911 still but with modern touches like LED lights, dual clutch option too. Always thought of it as a water cooled reincarnated 993.

My 73 year old mom has the same German spec 2012 Carrera 2S as her daily driver - she is so cool , her first 911 was also an '83 SC cabriolet in silver black roof blue interior - made me fall in love with 911s - even though im more into my Magnum Italian memories now - love your story

Nice review. I bought one 4 years ago for mostly the same reasons. Great car to drive and very reliable.

WOW, as I get deeper in your video~~ I'm more on your side Marine. But, I still love my 996 Gen 1, and I know you love your 997. Outstanding !! We do Love Porsches !!

I have the 997TT and absolutely love it. Great performance with an old school feeling.

Another great informative video. Don't ignore a water cooled Porsche. They are a part of the Porsche experience! Well done.

Great video. So glad that I found your channel.

997 are such pretty cars they're really good looking

That is sort of what I am looking for... I would LOVE an air cooled 911 but want to find the gap or balance between high priced, high mileage and age with a bit newer tech but not overly complex as you explained. I would totally love a car just as this... Manual, minimal features and lower mileage and a bit newer.

997.1 4S cab. Great video. Could't find a 997.2 at the time, so I trusted the theory that in later 2007 models the IMS has been solved. There is, however still bore scoring. I love the car so the engine was opened with cooling channels improved (bored) and the barricades were added in the oil pan. I also tried a 997.2. A great machine although with 997.1 the steering wheel seems more responsive. You can't miss with the 997.2 though.

James: Kudos on your 997.2 Carrera S. Beautiful example of what is becoming a modern-day 'classic' Porsche 911. As a fellow 997.2 owner (my 2012 is a white C4S also 6-sp) I noticed the clear side marker lights that replaced the amber OEM lights. In my subjective opinion, they look better on the silver exterior. Switching to the clear side markers was actually the first 'upgrade' I performed on my Carrera White 911. My C4S had about 18k miles on the odometer when I got it back in 2016. Daily drove it, so it now has about 58k miles on the clock. Under my watch, she certainly has not led the life of a Garage Queen. Miles of smiles, indeed. There is an UPGRADE that I would urge you to consider sooner rather than later: Install mesh protection for your front grill. Your car sits low to the ground, and the front openings suck in all sorts of rocks and road debris. Especially since you seem to engage in spirited driving, and you enjoy the 911 the way it was meant to be driven. I bought a metal mesh insert for the center opening from a company in England named Zunsport that was designed for the 997.2 and it fits perfectly. For the two side grill openings, I watched several DIY videos on KZread and cut out two metal mesh screen inserts (thank you, Home Depot) to place directly behind the plastic horizontal grills. After a bit of trial and error, the installation was done. The two side grills look great, and along with the center grill from Zunsport, the three grill inserts are now protecting the vulnerable front of my car. Although any aesthetic 'upgrade' could be debated, there is no question about the functional improvement. Where before there were three dangerously vulnerable openings in the front grill, now the lower front of my 911 is protected from rocks and damaging debris. The center grill was not that much, and the two DIY side grill inserts cost me even less. The peace of mind has definitely been worth it.

Thanks to you both for the video. I am from Spain and I own a 2011 PDK 997.2 Carrera 2S and I cannot agree more with James. Apart from the racing green color in my unit that is not available anymore as a standard option, only as an exclusive option, in the successive 991 and 992 models, I love its simplicity inside, yet its modern infotainment features (touch screen, iPod/USB port, ..), PDK, Sport Plus, PASM, .. And there are so many aftermarket parts to improve it without changing the external looks. My unit has CSF sport aluminum radiators, Bilstein B6 performance shocks, Gyrodisc 350mm rotors front and rear (with front 997.1 GT3 calipers and master cylinder), Goodridge brake lines, GT3 engine mounts, Kline innovation exhaust system, BMC air intake filter, .. Moreover, the widespread view around here amongst 911 enthusiasts is that from the 991.1 version Volkswagen took over the body design, from 991.2 the engine too (Hans Metzger RIP), and the 992 is really a 2-door Panamera. By the way, I like your 993 a lot. Cheers

“992 is really a 2-door Panamera” love it!! That’s the reason I got a 997.1. Saved 100k and the feel is just as sporty with a small car. The moment I test drive it I knew that was it. Might have paid the height of the market but keeping it for the foreseeable future it means nothing.

Great video. I agree, wholeheartedly, with James, especially where he mentions the items closely involved with user interface. The area, I found, needing some attention was the shifter. This relatively minor mod along with sound enhancement, in the form of a cat back replacement, has transformed the experience for me.

It’s the small things that we do that all come together to make the driving experience what I like to call “hand in glove.” My 993 has been so dialed in over the past couple of years that it just fits me perfectly. Shifter, steering wheel, seats, sounds, stance.

I moved from the Uk 40 years ago and I’ve owned 104 cars….one being a 2002 Porsche Boxster, and my latest car a 2014 Porsche 911, with both cars being Racing Yellow. There is no other car I would rather own other than a Porsche. The M3 and M4 from BMW were nice, but Porsche is such a solid car and vey well made. Living in Scottsdale, AZ there are many folks that have a few 911’s sitting in their garage with hardly any miles. I picked up this naturally aspirated 911 with only 9k miles and Porsche provided a CPO 2 years warranty . Loving this car ! Loving this video And what a beautiful car the 997 is. Congrats !

The manual 997 is definitely going to be a future classic. Used to own a 997 C2S, loved that car. Smaller frame, awesome gearbox..

Fantastic interview.

Well articulated review of the Porsche 997 S.

Exactly the topics , why I bought my 997 . The newer models are simply to wide and full with electronic items, which can fail anytime.

Enjoyed the interview and hearing from the owner. Great spec and mods on this 997.2. Seems about as close to GT3 as you can get while retaining all the everyday comforts. I started my Porsche search last year initially fixated on the 997.2 before ultimately deciding to go with a 993. I admit that this is the first 997 video I've seen since then that gave me a couple of second thoughts. The 997 has and will continue to age well. Maybe it has something to do with my car currently being in the shop. The annual service has turned up some gremlins and now it's been there two weeks and counting. Anyways, I think owner interviews are some of my favorite videos on the channel. Cheers to you both!

Great buy! Hopes he enjoy it and, as a fellow vet, thank him for his service and for sharing his father/son story. In regards the IMS hysteria, I actually like to thank Porsche for the IMS issue of the M96 engine. It allows DIYer lower-income guys to get their hands on an awesome P car at discounted prices. I was able to get my hands on an 03 C4S with 50k miles for $30K back in 2013. My car was mint and well maintained but the 1st thing I did was buy an EPS IMS kit for around $600. A weekend of labor later, the IMS issue is no more and I'm lucky for it. Unsurprisingly, the OEM IMS was mint as well. There will always be other 'fears' floating around for the M96 engine but many of those are kept in check with proper maintenance and routine inspections. Also, keep in mind that my car was around $99K when new. Just recently, I was offered $47k. I was tempted but politely declined the offer.

Recently saw an ad for a 2005 911 Carrera S with 136 000km on the clock for R500 000 (+- $34000) which is perhaps a bit of a bargain considering a new VW GTI is priced at R669 000 over here :)

Great video. As a 2012 911 Carrera 4S owner, we are in complete agreement. Other than standard maintenance, "0" unexpected cost. Enjoy!

I love this car! As far as the ims issue goes, finding a car with a replaced upgrade is easy nowadays, and the lifetime warranty on mine (996) leaves me driving along without a care lol

Will, I say, great job on moving back in the direction of doing some water cooled content. Never bought into the whole air cooled exclusivity thing, although I was around through it all and it was a ride in one way back that had triple throat Webers that got me interested in Porsches. Not against either, I’m just saying you’ll have a much broader appeal if you continue to include Porsches of all types. I really enjoyed the video of this timeless 997.2 and can only wish to have bought one at some point. @oneporschefan.

I have similar specced car but it is a 2008 997.1, coupe, S, 6spd manual, chrono package with the turbo wheels also in arctic white. The only thing missing is mine only has the heated seats and no butt cooling but the prior owner had lowered the car a tad and upgraded the exhaust so it's nice sounding to me a bit to much power but a riot to drive. You can't beat naturally aspirated, analog with hydraulic steering in a high revving 3.8 engine. It's just the perfect combination.

Good interview .

That guy is ace and the car is a knockout ❤️

The 997.2 is the perfect blend of modern tech, comfort, performance with the classic look and feel of a 911

My first experience driving a Porsche 911 at speed was a student's '99 996 Carrera in 2001; its a basic sports car, but a what a hoot to drive FAST. I had both the FD Rx7 Twin Turbo and E36 M3, and the '99 996 was such different driving experience with all that weight in the back compared with 50/50 weight-distributed cars like the FD and E36. There was a turn on the road course that I was used to taking at a certain speed. I'd forgotten what car I was in, and had that 996 drifting sideways through the turn. Later during the DE weekend my student tried to replicate what I did through that same turn, and we went off backwards into the grass.

12:12 this really is a stunningly beatiful 997.2. the rims are great also. it looks so classic but also sporty.

total respect, fabulous car, brilliant owner, want that car

Everybody always has their favorite based on what they grew up with. definitely the 996 - 997 generations for me. Although the 930 turbo will always be timeless.

Nice review. My goal is to add a 2012 997.2 PDK to the garage, eventually. I currently have a 2023 Cayman GTS 4.0 that I will keep to scratch my 6sp manual itch.

Great look at a car I'm looking for right now, and for the exact same reasons. Had a manual 996.2 C2 manual for over 3 years trading it onto an Aston Martin Rapide S. Loved the analogue nature of the drive, and as you say, the 997.2 has that too, without those M96 niggles that I could never get out of my head. Top pick for me will be a GTS, but if I can't find one a C2S will definitely be a starter. Keeping the Aston Martin which is a totally different car, of course, and waiting to complete a sale on my 20V Audi ur quattro to then get another 911! Amazing that you should feel the need to apologise to the aircooled guys for looking at a water-cooled Car! But they are an Uber-sensitive bunch 🤣

Great story, and very rationale decision! Semper Fi!

I started driving Porsches in 1972 w/ a 914-6. I'm 70 years young. Awesome car!! Drove it for years~~~ as a daily driver. Then onto a 1980 911 SC, drove it for years~~~ as a daily driver. Now I have a 1999 911 996 Gen 1, built in October 1998 , as a daily driver. 58K on the clock w/ LN IMS retro fit @ 51K. This is the last true analog 911 Porsche ! 997's were not.

Great comments/review. Another sell point on the 997.2, after 2012, Porsche did away with the ease of access to the engine compartment. From there on, you have to remove a lot of pieces to do the simplest of maintenance… Take off the engine trunk piece, remove the rear wheels, remove the rear lower bumper…
