10,000 Mile Ownership Review: Porsche 911 997.2 Carrera S
What's it like to own and drive a 15 year old Porsche 911? In this video I share my firsthand experience with my 997.2 Carrera S, going over both the good and the bad. Additionally, I had the opportunity to compare it directly against a 991.1 Carrera for 2 weeks.
The Porsche 911, no matter what generation, is a legendary sports car, each having it's own unique quirks. After 10,000 miles of ownership with my 997.2 Carrera S, I've had a reasonable amount of experience with it to provide a thoughtful review.

I had the same foam problem in my 997.2 S. If you don't want to cut into your 997, you can get some vent covers from VisionVents that will solve the hot air coming out the top dashboard vents. For the foam, I bought some mosquito head mesh nets and taped them over each vent to catch the foam. Then I drove the car around with the AC on full bast. Did that a few times until I got most of the foam out and now I barely have any coming out.

Bravo, mate! Top video! There is a cure for the black heater foam. I fixed it on my 996. Requires a bit of surgery but it’s easy! ❤
-
Thanks for the comparisons
-
Great video homie! I'm out of the Porsche scene now and back in a Corvette. BUT I do have some ribs smoking right now.

The editing at the concourse was 👌!! Well done!! I don’t think I have the patience to wait 3 years for you to import a 996.1 GT3, so I’m going to need you to upnthat timeline! M’kay, thanks!!

Long time watching your videos , I also sold my 996 - 1999 and got a 09 Cayman with a PDK just like yours . Although mine has 41k miles I was wondering about the transmission service base on the aged of the car rather than miles. Are you considering doing this service? Oil and the pan filter . Anyway, as always great content!

just drive in Sport mode and push suspension button to off! The best mode tho IF you put trans into manual mode AND have paddle shifters is to use SPORT PLUS mode. Very crisp shifts. Try it you wont regret it.

Springs and spacers a great idea.

Thanks for this video. 👍 It is impossible to have clock in the sport chrono, I asked a specialist for that in France and he said: it is impossible. Sorry!
-
There’s no clock function on the chrono. I wish I didn’t have mine to be honest.

Does the Bluetooth work well in the 997.2? I’m considering trading a 2023 MKV GR Supra 6MT for a 2012 997.2 but worried it would feel like going backwards as far as necessities and technology. I don’t care about Apple CarPlay as much as I like it, but I can live without it as long as the driving experience is great.

How is the 0-60 pull in the Carrera S .2?

Get another duck tail!
