Agreed. I love my 991.1 C2S. I'll never sell it. I think you're right, people forget about the Carreras, and I do think the 991.1 S model is seriously underrated as people always seems to talk about the GT models. But in my opinion, that 3.8l engine is a masterpiece and the car is plenty fast enough. For the roads here in the UK, almost too fast.

Keep me posted on your final decision!

I absolutely agree with your summation at 7:30 of how the mid-range Porsches are underappreciated. I have a Rhodium Silver, 2014 C2S, PDK, and it is absolutely wonderful...and incredibly capable on the road...but I do find myself thinking about a GTS or a GT3. I know that is the effect of hearing the online community rave about how good these cars are at 'the next level up'. I am also pretty sure that if I move to a GT3, there will be the same feeling that I have to move to a GT3 RS. I'm going to make a real effort to focus on maintaining the hell out of what I already have and resist the urge to play the upgrade game. Still keeping my eye open for a 991.1 GTS, so I guess that makes me a bit of a hypocrite (at least a little). Really enjoyed watching this video. Drive safe and enjoy your 991 in 2021!

Hey Phil. Oh mate I can certainly empathise with the lockdown blues - less so the snow! Yeah I've definitely thought about that. The comparison is a tricky one, given the significant delta in performance between the two cars. No doubt the 991 is the easier car to drive fast in. Ultimately I think it comes down to a very subjective comparison that compares the feelings / vibe a car gives versus the out and out performance (and ultimately, which is more important - again, subjective...) Stay safe mate.

Great camera work and beautiful spec of a car. Totally agree with your steering wheel change! The 991.1 S will retain its value well in years to come as it's the last NA. Porsche were the first to do good automatic gear boxes so anything else around that era cannot really compare if you don't want a manual (hint hint C7 Corvette). While they are not cheap, they do fill a unique segment in the used market today.

@lastrasp

3 жыл бұрын

Hey There! I do know of people who've made the change themselves but I had it done at my local Porsche dealer. It's not a cheap change because, as you point out, there's a bunch of functionality on the steering wheel that's lost with this change. Porsche added an extra stalk to include which includes those additional functions. To be honest, the only one I miss having on the wheel is volume control for the PCM.

Don't forget about the 3.4L NON S. For 350hp, it punches way above it's weight. I own 10 second cars and the 991.1 non S is soooo fun to drive. And it'll go 150k-200k easy. Very easy to work on also! And you'll save 12k or so vs the S with 50 hp more. Is 50hp worth 12k? You decide! Last point, way better daily than a BMW of similar price IMO.

@lastrasp

No doubt the non-S is still a brilliant car. I've always felt the real party trick of a 911 is the ability to carry speed. I've never bought into the idea that a base model can't keep up with the top spec stuff. At least on the road anyway.

Absolutely fantastic review. I agree, with the limelight shown on Porsche GT/RS cars, one has the sadly wrong impression that’s where driving enjoyment lays, truth is they are all drivers cars, and usually the base Carreras are where the sweet spot lies due to ease of accessibility to the performance without trying to kill pedestrians, other roads users and including yourself whilst enjoying fine simple modest but mostly sublime performance, why cause each model is designed around the Carreras to start with.

It's not an either / or for me. I prefer my old air cooled but find a different (but still exceptional) level of fun can be had in the newer stuff.

Serious question: How “fun” can a car really be on streets with the laws etc? Most of the driving here looks pretty boring 😂

I tend not to film on the more technical roads we drive as I'm talking to camera. But there are plenty of roads where you can push these cars within (or around) the speed limits. While we have very strict road laws here, there are a surprising number of roads that are extremely twisty, largely deserted and with high speed limits. True, you'll get the best sense on track but in the hills is where I do most of my driving.

Thanks Eric. Like I mentioned in the in the video, there are really good cup holders. But they're not able to carry a bottle of water. But yes, as others have pointed out, there's a simple way to skip tracks. Thanks for your comment.

Um.. did you say there aren’t any cup holders or did I miss hear you? If you did, look again. It’s German engineering at its best.

Misheard. I mention that there are cup holders - great cup holders actually. Love the way they hide away. But there's nowhere that'll hold a something like a water bottle. Cup holders are all good 😉
