Everybody fails to mention what about intake valves getting gooped up with carbon buildup

Do a series on every cayman before you stop making videos! Please?

I married a Doctor…worst ‘king decision of my life! If you want flawed excitement…get a BMW Z4M !

And don't forget, this was the last true Porsche as they were bought by VAG in 2011
Comment from : Paul

Porsche Too refined
Comment from : 0xyg3n

I really appreciate your pov on videos without criticism Very professionalbrI'm terms of this video you are on par with this being the last call for the real feel and without all the electronic junkbrThe 9971 vs 9972 had some real differences Wider stance, suspension, power was not addressed but all the other feels of the car is so much betterbrThey are not they same car and deserve their own recognition which you have mentioned
Comment from : JUDGExNOCTURNAL

Question, did the example you tested have a sports exhaust?
Comment from : Marcus Mackay

Definitely changing my Evora for one
Comment from : Marcus Mackay

Carbon ceramic brakes were actually a very expensive option on the 9962 and Standard on the 996 Turbo S So this wasn't the first 911 to have them
Comment from : AhEmGee

ever gas carrera will be worth a fortune when they go full electric
Comment from : chad barbaro

Speaking of this specifc line of the 9972 (base Carerra), absolute waste of money instead of just buying a 9872 Cayman S The power might be slightly more on this, but it weighs more too, so acceleration are similar Cayman will handle and brake better Interiors, other than no useless back seat like the 911, is identical My 9872 uses the same everything, and even when I pull parts, they are all stamped 997 on them Frunk is the same, and I'd say the Cayman looks a little sportier too compared to the base Carerra brbrSo what the does the Carerra really give you? Two useless back seats (not more storage though, as the Cayman has hatch storage the 997 doesn't Sure costs a good 15k more for what is essentially the same car Now if you move up into the 4S, Turbo, etc 9972, that is absolutely a different discussion But for a base Carerra, just get a better performing Cayman for a lot less money Even if you talk about resale, the 9872 has bottomed out in depreciation at this point, so not exactly a discussion there either

Future advice Don't say bullshit or any other curse words during a car review It just makes you look less intelligent when speaking about the car
Comment from : C C

$50k my ass I was recently in the market for a $60k sports car and Porsche was my first choice brTo get a 911 for $60k you have to get something from 2005 with 50k miles brTheir values are insane brI bought a Mach 1 instead Opposite end of the spectrum, I know, but it’s a riot nonetheless
Comment from : Maxwell Martin

Love the red full leather interior
Comment from : Nick Afanasyev

and a hideous red interior
Comment from : Art Grusensky

Watching this 2 years later makes me want to crybecause NOW 9972s are $$$$$$$$
Comment from : Carlos Dorantes

the red interior looks like japanese Ultraman 😍
Comment from : Dreamy

Can you review some classic/vintage cars?
Comment from : Jonas Baine

19s is just crazy I’m old though so idk
Comment from : Bruce Wayne

blecht!red interior 🤮
Comment from : GitM

This looks absolutely gorgeous from every angle, the perfect 911 to me
Comment from : BW drives

Thanks guys for the great video I just bought my 2012 C4 base cabriolet PDK wide body, one of the last 9972 made before the change over to the 991 about a year ago, late March of 2022, car only had 25,025 miles on it, I now have 27,050 on it I very much love putting the top down on a nice day versus a coupe, can't do that in a coupe I'm glad that I bought the 2 for all those reasons you had mentioned in your video

dentists! : D ya
Comment from : Pete Stanton

At the risk of sounding like a Boomer about the 60's cars, but mid 2000's cars were the sweet spot for me, analog yet modern enough 🙏🏻
Comment from : Charles Bilodeau

I've been looking into buying a 991 vs a c7 corvette and after driving both, I don't want the perfection that comes with the 911 I want something that's going to try to beat me up and eat my dog when I punch it and that's why I'm probably going with the c7 Porsche is TOO good at making a perfect car that is basically a confidence inspiring 401k, and I want early spaceX and Tesla I want it to be a wild ride and to be ready to kill me, but have a cocaine fueled party all the way to the grave
Comment from : DumbOtterLover

You want that emotional connection All you need is a drive after a rainy day in an E36 M3 or a Honda S2000 Best times ever!
Comment from : Don Z

No smiles or thrills here That’s a shame Depends on your point of reference I guess
Comment from : g o

I still want a Ferrari But I can’t afford it, so I can get this at least
Comment from : Eventdash01

I have to say, the production quality of this video really is what stands out to me I love cars, I love driving, car care and wrenching, however by all accounts I am otherwise an underachieving buffoon who will likely die just as broke as I live today, but NOT without the joy of having owned a Porsche 911 Thanks to your video, my sights are set on the goal of a financially responsible purchase of a 9972 machine, by hook or by crookbrbrThank you for the inspiration,brbrJohn
Comment from : John Gorny

Wish Porsche could figure out a way to make the engine a quick release and drop, for servicing
Comment from : Scott Carlon

You guys mail it at 17:20 … it’s just too good and consistent with no drama I guess I’d rather marry a stripper than a doctor 😂😂😂
Comment from : peakay2002

60K "beater" in 2023
Comment from : Lee Powers

Being that the 38L is the first iteration of direct injection, would you now say that the 36L with port injection is a better buy???
Comment from : Vagabond

No longer 50k, usually cost more than 70k
Comment from : Yuan Zhang

His voice sounded really soothing in this presentation, fitting for a Porsche
Comment from : とひこ

As a long time miata owner, I often go through the paces of figuring out where to go next Corevette and porsche seem to be the only options that come up again and again The 9872 and 981 are also tempting C6 Grand Sport on the corvette front
Comment from : matthew K

This or a V8 Vantage of the same vintage?
Comment from : Taranisify

Porsche Turbo 9971 was my all time favorite Porsche until the new 992 Turbos S came out

"When you strip appart the bullshitdentists, rich people, all that"
Comment from : Dr Brian Jude de Lima, PhD

Cross shopped the 9972 and 9911 and ended with an 9972 C2S manual As a summer car, this is just the perfect car in my opinion It's one of the very good 911

Is it possible to connect an iPhone or and Android with a usb cable, in order to listen to music?

Comment from : Dan Rook

Great video Very helpful!
Comment from : Jason Burke

Can you guys do the r8 or Audi TT ?
Comment from : Eddie Ricks

I have a 9971 which I absolutely love! The 2 is a very good ride as well
Comment from : Gordon Reifenstein

Give me one of the flat 6 Caymans over any 911 911's were cool in the 90's but it's all about the mid-engine now
Comment from : Light Energy Fractoid

hey Jack, is the 9972 worth the $10k premium over the 9971, if the IMS bearing has been serviced?
Comment from : D

0:34 not anymore!

Man that intro jingle is killer Can I get an artist/track name?

Comment from : jay Aych are

Well, well, well, I see that the prices of these 9972's have been marked up like, 30 since this video was made :-( That is annoying, I must say!
Comment from : VWs And Vettes

Those used price figures might need some revision in 2022 (unfortunately)
Comment from : Steven Schwartzstein

Need one
Comment from : C P

Love this car! I have a 9972 carrera MT with low mileage and has gone up 510k in value in just 6 months 😝crazy! I wish I could afford and maintain an air cooled 911 but I am very happy with this 2010!👍🏼 enjoy your 911’s if you’re fortunate enough to own one Safe driving to all✌🏼
Comment from : Warren A

Now worth 90K
Comment from : Dan Terry

Shoppe section is really excellent - one day can you review a 944 turbo or a 968 CS guys - it’s would be an interesting counter point to moderns
Comment from : john Joseph

I felt the same way about my Cayman S, it was so refined it was boring and I sold it in less than 2 years
Comment from : DarkClosetOfTheMind

Please find me one for under $60k today :(
Comment from : DarkClosetOfTheMind

I bought my 997 in 2005 and it does not do rain it has never been washed I clean it with distilled water and use a steamer for the wheels it is covered in my garage when not being used and does not have scratch on it brMy neighbours give me grief after every drive I clean the ca even spraying the tyres with high gloss foambr50 k miles full serviced historybr I am 75 and a farmer friend of mine has offered to Bury me in the car when my time is upbrI have now got a mini Cooper due this month so I can use it dailybrFirst fell in love with 911 when delivering papers in 1964 saw one and got the sack as I spend 30 minutes just looking at the carbrA sad old man who still feels as I did driving a fire engine in city of London in 1971 when I just drive in norfolk countryside where cars are rare brThe only fault is that my Bruce springstein greatest hits is in the cd and will not eject brPorsche said it would cost too much to remove brAny suggestions are welcome
Comment from : Eddie Steele

What year ?!!
Comment from : Richard B Davis

what its like for the average guy to own a porsche maintenance is expensive as fuck
Comment from : jayoh123

With the updated price, the question is going to be 9972 or 718 Oh the headache
Comment from : Josh K

Thanks for the porsche for this review Its beautiful
Comment from : CAYMAN987

Wish i could find a 997 manual coupe for around 40 k
Comment from : CAYMAN987

Crazy how the prices went up from only like 1 1/2 years ago Would love to get to drive one of these one day
Comment from : Savage

Title should be changed to $65000 beater
Comment from : Charles Hua

i wish they were still in the $50k zone lol
Comment from : andy mok

You guys nailed it on the 9972 I own a 2009 Carrera and everything you mentioned I agree with based from my experiences I did have Porsche replace the factory gear shift box with a short shifter kit and it made a huge difference The only modification I would do on this car brbrThank you and keep your reviews coming! Great job!
Comment from : Rainer Wellige

2011 9972 - Greatest 911 ever - GOAT
Comment from : Dan Terry

“Its easy to heel toe” i dont think so there are a lot of forum posts on how uneasy it is to heel toe
Comment from : sean yeo

Please do a review of the 2012-13 Boss 302
Comment from : Bebop

4:34, in my book, the 997s are the summit in the 911 life, after that they grew bigger, heavier, less connected, despite being faster, i would not want later 911 Actually my choice would even be an earlier 996 turbo or 40jahre
Comment from : Bebop

Just bought oneI love this dream carit’s truly the best therapyhandles & is the most beautiful car I have ever ownedI’m older & waited to finally buy one to enjoy w out any regrets❤️❤️🏎🏎

Comment from : Christian Stark

Owned 104 cars in 40 years of moving here from England…why do I mentioned that ? I now own a 2014 9911, which is naturally aspirated and what an amazing car You feel one with the car If I would have bought this car is 2014, I would saved some money and been very happy
Comment from : M S

Looks like frat guys trying to justify why they buy Porsches
Comment from : John Flemming

These will be 100k cars in a couple years
Comment from : Sun,Sand and Sea

Try getting one of these for $50k now
Comment from : Will

Lol this is the "doctors" version If you want the "stripper" version you need to step up to the GT3s
Comment from : Sam Lee

I wish there was a value/bargain price Porsche, but it appears as the cost decreases, so does the wow factor Almost depressing/somber review No excitement which says a lot about value $50K better spent on new Nissan Z
