Any 911 is special, but this one is even more!

Thanks for shearing, beautiful view!!!

997 is a great looking German machine, you can’t go wrong with any 911,

But air cooled is always air cooled 😀, it’s hard to find the right one, and the prices are crazy now! But if my days will come…, I think I would choose no Turbo, regular straight lines, RS America for me please😀. But I think you are set Sir, there aren’t ... 

Best jump on a 997 turbo s before prices go crazy… they are now on the rise 😊

The 997 body is a great retro look when compared to the 991 let alone the 992… A 997 C4S with the wide body also looks great 👍

Fun fact re 997 Turbo

You can make the car rwd only by lifting the brake 1 click. Hard to believe I know, but I’ve tried it on several while instructing and it worked on all 997 Turbos.

"lifting the brake 1 click"

What does this exactly mean? Please explain this "click" phenomenon.

Really? How do you do that?

Love this

A 3.6 in a unique interior and exterior color is awesome. Add provenance and this is very cool. I currently have an order for a 992 c2s. Surprise surprise may take a year to be delivered. I don't have the fortitude to wait that long. Just keep my m2comp.

Yes, the 3.6 Turbo. The 911 turbo I ever liked.

What's not to love, indeed?

I hate it too

 
 By: VinnieD : December 7th, 2021-08:06
but it looks like it is a valued option... probably just on the utility front?

We don't care about that.

It's Jenson - An ex F1 driver

Thought so, but when I read Jason Button I was confused.

Always liked Jenson Button. F1 champion in 2009.

Jenson. Damn keyboard!

E-brake

 
 By: roundel : December 8th, 2021-01:10
Lift the e-brake one click. It seems the same sensor that lights the indicator on the dash also puts the car in rwd mode. I am a skidpad instructor for PCA. For years we could not do much with Turbo 997s. The awd makes them want to understeer. If overstee... 

Great car, cool color, and awesome wheels..

It's an all-around fantastic car. Thanks for the pics, Nicolas. You don't see too many 964 cars on the roads these days. There are a few in the local Porsche club. I have a 993 that 'somewhat' gives me a feeling of the 964 driving experience.
