Does this CSR make you want a 997 with these mods or would you prefer a GT3?

This was filmed in February 2020, prior to the UK's nationwide lockdown.

Funny, I recently had the thought "why doesn't someone "singer" a 997" but without a completely ridiculous price tag and going way over the top with performance numbers. Give me a 997 S with a stick and just tighten it all up, some hp, exhaust, refresh the interior etc. Lovely.

It's great how they concentrated most of their efforts on improving the car from a technical standpoint instead of playing much with the looks.

This is turning out to be the best channel for car lovers. Every car nerd should watch the bids out here! They are a thing of beauty

Great video Henry. If you’re planning more videos like this (and the M3 video recently) I have a car you may be interested in. It’s a 997 Turbo rebuilt time GT2RS spec, upgraded engine, suspension. Set up by Tech 9 with Ohlins, Centre lock conversion, RS wheels. All carbon wings, bonnet etc. I have video of different phases also. How do I contact you directly?

Ohh Henry.... Its bloody bloody good to hear your voice talk Porsche again!

997 is perfect in every aspect, my fav generation

Motor journalists all seem to jump in a modern Porshce and say they've cracked the electric power steering now, there is great feel and its as good as the hydraulic systems they were struggling to match for feel. They then jump in a hydraulically power steered car and say this steering is so much better than modern cars...

Love my Mezger '07 997.1 911TT with a few engine mods, now putting out about 620HP. A thrill every time I get behind the steering wheel.

Quite expensive yet motivates the rest of us with “old modern” 911 to keep replacing all the rubbery bits despite the inconvenience. Regular upkeep aside, the improvements to tires in the past 20 years is an enhancement itself.

Im sure the 997, especially the .2, will become a very sought after classic. Last gen with the hydraulic steering, almost last with NA Carrera and somehow just more raw than its successors.

Very cool car, but it sure would be tempting to start with a 997.2 to get the better non-IMS engine and handful of other upgrades

[TomMannington]

Yes, I'd love a 997, though a gen 2 with some wheels closer to a Fuchs style than the HREs here. It's the profile change on the rear lights that does it for me, it makes the rear look slightly more dynamic and sets it further apart visually from the 996.

Got my 997.2 a month ago. A truly super car - and look forward to refining it in the years to come...

[basithph]

Now this is an instant classic
Something that brings back the good ol’ days

[achintyaaatreya]

Just fantastic these Porsche enthusiasts. And those wheels are lovely. As is the gear lever and the ducktail spoiler on the engine lid.

[quietenglishman]

The best motoring journalist bar none. Personable, intelligent and fluent, without an intrusive regional accent.

[Poorschedriver]

Henry + Porsche= Perfection. An what a combination. The 997 is truly an enthusiast's secret and this is the crown jewel. Spectacular as always Henry.

Do you know the exhaust used here? It sounds unbelievable.
