Most USABLE Supercar?? *Porsche 911 997 Carrera 4S Review*

"Is it a supercar?"

Welcome to the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S!

Porsche are one kf the most recognised car brands on the planet. They have history with Le Man's, GT racing & even Rally!

With a CV like that, it's easy to see how Porsche produce some of the best cars ever.

Their flagship model is the 911. The 911 was made famous for many reasons; its perfomance, without sacrificing comfort, as well as its iconic swooping rear end that houses the very unusual rear engine lay out, down to its iconic circular headlights.

With Kenny's recent purchase of his 987 Boxster S, we are very keen to experience every variant Porsche has to offer. We are beginning this journey with the 997.1 Carrera 4S.

Not sure what that means? Fear not! We will explain all as put this German machin through it's paces & give you our honest opinions on one of the worlds most famous supercars!

Bore scoring is a Porsche reality that hit my 30k mile 997.1.
I ‘bit the bullet’ and got a rebuild to 4.3 with Nikasil liners, forges pistons and rods and a whole host of other goodies.
It’s an absolute beast now, and in everyday driving, as fast as my 991.2 GT3.

Great video amd stunning scenery, lads.

Outstanding job.

FACT : The 911 is considered a Supercar because its consistently been an Autobahn killer for C4S is a 190 mph capable not be the quickest getting there in todays world but it will do it 7 days a week and twice on a Sunday !!
Its the Heritage that sets a Porsche 911 out as a Supercar !

Great video as usual, those drone shots 👌👏

Guys love these cars, I bought one last year c4S 997, it’s one of my childhood dream cars I always wanted one but since I am a family guy I soon forgot about them, however it’s surprise me the lazy day to day ideal daily sports car can jump into hyper mode at a press of a button. Strong quality built cars and it performs like no other car once you drop the pedal to the metal! Mine is a 6 speed manual and aero factory kit and rebuilt by previous owner from Hartech rebuilds specialist which was the reason I bought it I looked for this example for years and finally happy

It’s no surprise to me you’re getting (more?) access to Porsches (even though you’re not a Porsche channel, yet) ‘Porsche’ guys generally want to share their cars with other enthusiasts. It’s so rewarding to have a fun car and share that enthusiasm with others. Fun video. Looking forward to the cayman, and 911 turbo, and 3, 2 carerra, etc, reviews. ;) Cheers

In the process of rebuilding a carrera s 2005 engine right now due to bore scoring, 3.8 of that era are known for this problem.

Enjoyed the video, very interesting, nicely edited and great scenery. One minor correction, at 3min30 IMS stands for intermediate shaft, not what you said. Thanks for the vid, look forward to the next one.

Awesome vid guys😁 👍, i have a 997 c2s convertible auto. Im glad you brought up the bore score and ims, as it is overhyped topic. Just to mention, im glad your filming in Pontypool 👍

There were also a GT3, GT3 RS, Turbo S and GTS models of 997 (along with a Sport Classic model).

Regarding Bore Scoring, it’s not just internet hype, the liners of the bores were made of a material which will score eventually. How you drive it (allowing it to warm up properly) and proper servicing will help.

Love the black on black on this. There not my type of thing but I have never been in one so really hard for me to say anything bad about it

[martingregory]

Great vid quality guys. I have a 986 2.7 and to be honest the trim doesn't bother me at all, I love the car. I am interested in the Cayman but would miss the roof down but no worries of leaks or security.

[joshevans]

I bet the mini won anyway. 😂. Great video thr constant zoomins on the strong facial reactions, brilliant!

[MP_pov]

My understanding is that it’s the IMS that affects approx 5% of these cars, but bore scoring is due to the inherent design flaw of this engine so will eventually happen to all examples sooner or later. It’s just hoping that you get an example that has had it sorted already, or will happen after the end of your ownership. Is this not correct?

[jamiewalters]

Editing is getting awaome drew fairplay pal 👍 ❤

Before I got my 997 and after I got my 997 I never thought of the 911 as a supercar. It's a high end sports car. One of the only last purpose built sports cars left. The others being the Miata, the 86/BRZ, all the exotics of course, the 718, and maybe one or two others I'm forgetting. Chassis and engine built for one intended purpose. Yes, it's a true sports car and that is rare and feels different from a super sporty sedan or coupe based off a mass produced car. However, it's just a sports car that is built in an era where there aren't enough of them. Supercars are sports cars that take it to the next level. I feel that some 911s fit that bill. However, the non Turbo or GT cars are not.

What the "lower end" 911s do great is they actually have amazing engineering. It really is the perfect car for gearheads who want a "practical" car (and a bit of money). I think they have superior engineering and manufacturing processes over cars like Ferrari, Mercedes, and BMW. It is an amazing overall car that literally no car on the road can match in its ability to smply do it all.

I own a 6 spd 2008 4S cab, great car but would not call it a super car. Once you drive a Turbo S or GT3 you realize it is a great daily sports car but no super.

[richtownsend]

997 C2S has wide body and 3.8l engine, per the C4S, just in 2wd format.

Base Carrera is narrow body with 3.6l.

Small point, but the C2S got the widebody with the 997 model.

[Kylefromwales]

Great video lads. For me its a sports touring car....a 'supercar' is a 2 seater in my opinion..exception being the ferrari roma 😂

[alaindunkerque]
