Great car for the collection, is based on the turbo (not S), so the gearbox can manage the power.

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Head to Head Review I think it's awesome that Autowelt let you drive both gens of 911 Sports Classic and I definitely agree that they aren't worth the 100k extra and I think you should definitely get a 992 Carrera GT3 or GT3RS along with a 718 Cayman GT4RS

[@Bmontepeque11]

Wow, seeing both Sport Classics side by side really highlights how much has the 911 grown over time, also, I'm more a GT3 kind of man than a Turbo kind of man but this Sport Classic feels so special ❤️

[@Shmee150]

Isn't it amazing to see

[@Bmontepeque11]

[@capt.6644]

The size of the new 911 kind of kills it for me.

[@jimhimesjr]

Sit an old air cooled 911 by the 992 to be amazed how much they have grown

[@wmhough]

It’s great to see a new reincarnation of the Sport Classic. My only reservations are the new wheel pattern and the new shade of grey, but it’s still a great modern icon of the Porsche brand. Thanks Tim!

[@stevehines5256]

I love the 992 Sport Classic…definitely add one to your collection as I’d like to see one used regularly, especially some journeys through some beautiful countries

I have to admit, as a recent purchaser and owner of a 997c4s, I was sitting quite smugly watching when you said we would be surprised by your choice. I was convinced by your smile and body language you’d have chosen the 997!! You were beaming driving it and seemed less engaged in the 992.

[@legendman97]

That 992 is freaking GORGEOUS, the interior 🥵

[@Jorgens_Garage]

great video ( again).. just picked up a 992 Sport Classic and really is amazing! and very different than my 997 GT2 .. but both great

[@kaybe3044]

Porsche is really proving out here that they are the Ultimate Enthusiast car maker. What an amazing car. Flat 6 turbo manual RWD. Nothing to dislike about that.

[@clifbradley]

I've always wondered something. Where does Puppi go when you switch back to handheld mode? Does she go hang out wherever you are or does she follow you in case things go bad. Here I realize she was in the car obviously, but I've always wondered if she gets to drive the car too, or does she go hang out somewhere and wait.

[@Shmee150]

That's a very interesting question. It varies all the time; but on a day like this; somewhere warmer than outside!

[@danielheathcote5625]

@@Shmee150 how much input does puppi have in direction / production / scripting etc of your films? Does she give you feedback of stuff that does / doesn’t work? And do you both have a rule about not talking shop when you spend so much time travelling together?

We plan out pretty much all the videos together as it happens, especially when there's a specific requirement for the company we're working with etc

[@TheGreener121]

The 997 looks TINY next to the 992. Still my fav new-age gen.

Most powerful manual 911 ever? To be fair I believe that goes to the 997 GT2RS!

[@IDv8I]

That has to be one of the most beautiful versions of the 911s this year for sure, but I am old. It is nice to see the critical Shmee in this review though.

[@Jefe86]

What a choice it would be if you got your hands on one of these! It’s a unique spec that would fit right in at the Shmuseum.

[@Tristanbirdyt]

100%. I would absolutely love to see a Porsche 992 heritage TARGA 4S that would be incredible and the sport classic would be brilliant as well so it’s at the festival of speed which was brilliant. Thank you so much for your videos. hope you had a brilliant day.

[@haydenspoppa785]

@@docpj9665 since you’ve mentioned here as well as in a direct reply to me elsewhere, please enlighten us all on this statement from Shmee where he’s “not willing to put up with the chitty way Porsche UK play games, etc…..”? Where was that comment made? He’s typically pretty positive about entities, about people in general so usually ops to say nothing if there’s nothing nice to say. That and he’s mentioned countless times in the last couple of months that he’d love to add a GT4RS to the fleet so not sure what you’re on about with the no Porsches in the near future thing.

[@thewhistlerkid]

Tim do you have a list of every car you’ve ever driven? I’d imagine someone could put one together through all of your videos, and that would be amazing to see given your experiences with friend’s collections and brands.

[@Ven100]

Have to agree with Tim here. Clearly this car is meant for the Porsche diehards, but to anyone else - the premium over something like the GTS, it doesn't offer as much bespoke items as it should for the price IMO.

[@Carsaddiction]

I can relate to the 997 Classic, as it is very very similar to the 997 GTS and its true its the last of the analogue cars.

[@trisfen9840]

I completely agree

[@justinhoward7317]

Your knowledge on cars is unmatched

[@paulkrapp]

The interior of the 992 Sport Classic is beautiful, especially the hounds tooth pattern! Seeing a manual shifter always makes me happy!

[@muldix]

Sport Classic actually has the best commercial spot ever to be recorded!!! Have you seen that? Thanks for video Shmee

[@grantweihl3666]

That interior is so so amazing with the tan and the white and black spots wow

[@Rx37Legacy]

I'd take the 997 every time!

[@anthonycarlo3079]

Its Astonishing Porsche able to modernize the classic silhouette design of old cars.

[@ImagePhotoMotorsports]

Shemee, Enjoyed your back-to-back review. I just looked at one from our local dealer this past weekend. Beautifully done, inside/out. Of course it was already sold. What surprises me on this 992 Sport Classic and considering it's price (not to mention the crazy dealer markup, as much as double, on these pre-sold units), I wonder why Porsche did not build these as Normally Aspirated with a 6-Speed manual. With all the carbon fiber that IS used in the car, could had been a limited edition Sport Classic 992R, just saying. Perhaps you're right, it intension is to be a "clinical drive" 911 Porsche.

[@philiphudgens4726]

Wow so glad they specced the seats with the "My Granny's Tablecoth' inserts option!

[@slidetosurvive]

I have a 2021 GTS and honestly shmee its the best option drives amazing , sounds great and you can use it every day go for that

[@2Bunphettered788]

Awesome! Great road! 👍 Can't understand why the 911 keeps getting bigger though. 🤔😁

[@mikekargar239]

Tim, I watch every video you post on KZbin because I see how genuine you are about how you feel about every car. Very diplomatic, but honest and direct. I like to see you succeed and get a bigger garage. No one posts video like you do. Thank you for great content. I was in Swiss last January and went to Zermatt to ski. I got two tickets driving from Italy l to Switzerland but I saw the road you were in was much more beautiful than the autobahn I used. Can you share the area or the side roads you used. Thank you.

[@sputnikalgrim]

Porsche has done a fine job of evolving the style without abandoning the heritage. Definitely one of my favorite manufacturers.

[@Acriore]

Very cool and Thanks for being different and not posting the Valkyrie like all Carwow,Supercarblondie, Top Gear, Gercollector etc...Shmee had alread a year ago showed for us. Best Car KZbinr!

[@Therealstubetube]

The Sport Classic is fairly unique. They took the Turbo engine, toned it down so the manual transmission could handle the power and so they didn't need the side vents.

[@sidrens1047]

A beautiful thing! The Shmuseum definitely needs a Porsche.

[@Samson44444]

0:33 997 gt2 rs was manual only and made more power. 612 hp vs 550 for the sport classic

[@Thetofffsy]

The most powerful manual 911 ever is the 997gt2rs with 620hp

[@shelloiluk]

Lovely looking 992 with the houndstooth interior. My own 992 S is a PDK. I couldn’t own a manual again I love my PDK too much 😊 and it’s my daily

[@CVOO7]

Tread carefully with the 911 Tim, be aware of woeful interior build quality issues. I have a 992 Turbo S from new, it has taken a year to eradicate the annoying interior squeaks and rattles esp regarding the driver's seat which if you are slightly plump (as I am) WILL squeak badly under acceleration/cornering. I have the full details of fixes etc if you experience the same. Hopefully not!

[@SimonH69]

The size difference between them is incredible the 997 is so much smaller - better for the UK roads.

[@165324]

For me the best Porsche is a standard 992 Carrera. It just has all the heritage, the design, the nice engine sound and for the daily usage, it drives easy as an Audi A4. Of course the Sport Classic looks fantastic, but it’s just to expensive and exclusive for daily driving.

[@Becausefamilycar]

The only time I saw I a sport classic was when I test drove a 997 in a similar colour. I said “I’ll take it, but that one over there, I prefer the colour” the salesman’s face was a picture. “Sir, that one is £250,000 this one is £25,000”. My face must have looked a picture. That’s when I started looking, and really learning about Porsche models.

[@CarCrazy12804]

I think one of the newer targa porsches with the classic roundels on the doors would be cool for #shmee150. Thing is Tim does not keep porsches long.

[@IanScottJohnston]

Can’t get my head around seeing two cars painted in a glossy grey undercoat!

[@Schuey_M]

Stunning cars, especially the 992 Sport Classic. So glad I didn't spec the annoying 'Lane Assist' option on my 992 GTS. A similar system is annoying enough on my wife's car.

C’mon Schmee…you prefer the 992? Really? I saw that smile emerging as soon as you got properly underway in the 997 😁. Didn’t see that in the 992 drive.

[@taimurmirza8652]

This is the first time seen you be critical of a car. Well done! Not every car you should review can be perfect. Even though the 992 is amazing but limited availability and MSRP does not justify the value.

[@floridamankyle5461]

The Sports Classic would have been my favorite 992, but the Dakar was made, and the 911 Dakar is the coolest 911 I have ever seen, I would have the Dakar over the Sports Classic.

Tim...your usually very accurate...but its the 997 GT2 RS that holds the most power...612 bhp if i remember correctly.

Make sure you get it in a slight odd shade of blue that kind of clashes with all the other blue cars you've got that kind of clash with each other

I like the SC but In truth I'd go for a Gt3 Touring manual and a 992 Dakar.

The Shmuseum is incomplete without a Porsche in it - what a place to start this car would be if it were to be included in the collection.

[@travis3810]

the "911R" of the 992 generation will likely be the 911ST, a manual GT3RS "Touring".

[@benbustama3430]

Agree with Tim. This is a huge cash cow for VAG! Overpriced for what you get. Wait two years and a similar car with this engine and RWD Turbo will be available for us mere mortal plebes at a significant discount when the 992.2 arrives. It’s VAG’s M.O., lol.

Greta review! While I would love one of these, I completely agree with the analysis except I’d go for the 991 GTS. I recently drove a 992 GTS and a friend has the 991 GTS which I think I prefer. The 992 just feels a little too big and too boring in some way.
