The guy that dailies his 997 with a baby seat in the back is winning at life in my books

Its oddly satisfying most of the channels i watch now are because they are against the channels that have gone corporate. Fully support it.

*Not being controlled by crappy corporations... That part. Thanks Vinny!*

Keep this series going. Maybe you could then have a leader board for under 30k, 30-100k, 100-300k, and “more than you can afford pal” shootouts .

There are some other boys who left the BS of the corporate world, stars from channels that decided to go it alone, and they are near or at a million subs. We now have Vin out here making great videos, and all the millions of people who love his content need to show their support now. Vin should be at 500k by now.

I love my Carrera White 997TT. Smiles for miles with all that torque. But, an open exhaust on a GT3 is pure gold

[MrBhop]

Recently purchased a 997 Turbo S and it’s been blissful. The 997 generation represents the best of the water cooled cars from Porsche, IMO. Great video, Vin!

Jolly getting spicy over the JDM slander coming from Vin... got me rollin!

[Zygrene]

Love this concept! Thumbnail reminded me of my 997 GT3/RS3.8/RS4.0 comparo haha. Doubling in price with each step up

[desertsandfly]

The 997 generation has been my favourite simply because I grew up looking at these models and driving them in racing games. It's peak 911 design no matter what model you talk about.

[fpSmoker]

I honestly learned more about porsche in this video than I have ever known. Before this vid the only thing I knew was. No one liked the 996, and that's just because it was the 1 that everyone LS swapped. Great video. And come on
People smash that subscribe

[AP-oprc]

Honestly the simplicity of the design of the base model 911s is just so complete.

[freddysardinas]

The biggest bang for your buck is the 997 GT3, basically same engine and transmission of the GT3 RS but almost half the price. The experience is 98% the same.

[Matt-xxmt]

What's funny is there is actually shockingly little difference between the C2s and the GT3 on the chassis side. Other than the engine its basically one control arm at each corner, dampers, different subframe mounts at the rear and carriers in the front to correct for roll center, sway bars, brakes, brake master cylinder, and one plastic bushing replaced with a metal one in the shifter. That's literally it. Compared with something like an M3 where the track is wider and the arms are completely different etc. it pretty simple to do a conversion. A C2s with these parts is literally the same car as a GT3 besides the motor. Everything besides the front carriers is super easy to find and swap over too. You'll have 85% of the car for 30% of the money.

Id love to see an episode on the MK4 Golf. A base car maybe 1.8 NA, 2.0, 1.9tdi or even 12v VR6, a 1.8t GTI, Anniversary GTI or 337 GTI and finally the R32

[challengerjetdriver]

Owning a 997.1 Targa4S (Manual) and 992 TurboS I have to admit that the Targa4S just seems more engaging 😊

[jarodwebber]

I really like the idea of this video. Taking one model and picking apart many available trims for the model to kind of put yourself in that trim and decide where you would sit!

[GTRRR]

Hearing you talk through each car is quite educational for those of us that don’t know what to know.
