[@PrettyGreenMonk]

Living the dream bro 🔥

[@tokesa2753]

I keep my car regularity maintained and its almost at 80k miles !

[@nookstarj]

Sweet choice. My research is leading me to believe this is peak pure Porsche. Lots of videos on this please. Comparisons between generations, facelifts, running costs, reliability, fun factor, track days. Keep it up 💯

[@StefABtv]

Thanks! It’s a great generation of car for sure!

[@terminusest9083]

IMS bearing is seriously risky. Get a post 2009 one instead, no IMS after that point.

[@atrain132]

Congratulations man! You won't get tired of it. Don't ever sell it, keep it forever. I bought a 997.2 Carrera S with no aero kit. Has the same wheels as yours. Love that thing, and love blasting through corners with it.

[@nelsonclub7722]

Same here - mine was the .1 - it's a car for life - (I am 55) my dad has still has his Targa and he is 80!!!

[@user-gg3oo2hc7w]

Wow,stunning! Thanks for sharing. That exhaust sounds epic too

[@CPMUNSEY]

Congratulations Stef!! Can’t imagine the feeling you have owning and driving that beauty. Enjoy it and be safe.

[@StefABtv]

Thank you 🙌🙌🙌

[@trevorjarvis3021]

I completely understand why you brought the Porsche, it’s a fantastic looking / sounding motor, absolutely stunning. Congratulations Stef.😊

[@StefABtv]

Thank you so much mate 🙌

[@ronanjouffroy8234]

Stef, you have one of the Best configuration i´ve seen!... just Wow...

[@CarsWithJB]

Great job Stef - looks insane, huge congratulations! I've been considering these too - let's see...

[@StefABtv]

Cheers dude! Such a great car :)

[@francis191]

Congrats Stef. Just bought my first Porsche 4 days ago. It is a 991.1 Carrera S convertible. I have come from a long line of Mercs with the last 2 being a SL500 and a SL 63. There is no comparison to the Porsche. The 997 and 991.1 share the same NA engine so I get the joy of listening to the engine from 6K revs upwards. Enjoy and keep up updated. The SL63 had 585 BHP but the Porsche is a different level. Power without control is nothing!

[@karene4990]

Happy new car Stef, love it!!!! Can’t wait to see more content ❤

[@StefABtv]

Thank you!!

[@jongib6096]

Perfect! 997.1 & especially the rarer 997.2 coupe manuals continue to grow in value! The last of the true analog 911

[@qikqbn77]

Congratulations! You finally have taken the Porsche Red Pill and will never look at cars the same way again! I have owned a 2006 997.1 Carrera 4S for 14 years now. Purchased with 6k miles, pristine/new condition. 14 yrs later, now it has 95k miles, and I still love it! It still thrills me and looks so good rolling down the road. I have driven the newer Porsches and although they may be faster and feel newer with the latest tech/gadgets, I have yet to be able to justify upgrading for the price difference. The joy to drive versus price of admission is just not there for me to upgrade. I love the 997/987s that much. Great, simple, beautiful cars. Great spec you got. Enjoy in good health!

[@jitsinghaa]

Sounds great! what a good example. I did a similar purchase, buying my old boss's 997.1 C4S convertible. "You will have smiles per mile", is what he told me when I bought it.

[@robp.8807]

Great buy. Looks awesome.

Congratulations! I have a basalt black 996 C4S with a factory aero kit too! I absolutely love mine and I can hear it in your voice. It is also my first 911. Enjoy! 👍😎

I just bought same one; it’s my dream car. Fully loaded in 06 but it’s everything I wanted. Please keep posting.

Congrats Stef, you've come a looooong way since ripping the splitter off of your old Abarth in the snow, yeah, I've been around THAT long😇

[@StefABtv]

Mate you are a legend for supporting me that long. Thank you so much!!!

[@afonsopereira1990]

Amazing spec. Love the 997

[@mhoseinofi]

Nice video Stef! Nice car and low mileage too. I’ve owned my 997 4s for 7 years now. Love the buzz it gives me and all the analogue stuff you mentioned are true. Newer cars are faster for sure but they feel disconnected compared to this generation. Sadly may have to sell mine soon to pay for some building works but will be back in the market for one as soon as I can afford the next one.

[@joaquinsantillan6257]

[@BA-so3mx]

Man i found you doing Abarth videos couple years back...crazy growth ! Happy for you enjoy the 4S

[@rv9990]

Congrats dude! Your personal cars videos always interest me te most.

[@StefABtv]

Thanks man, appreciate it!

[@chrisreadman4282]

Congratulations. I test drove a c4s 997.1 on Saturday. I couldn’t believe how heavy the clutch was. The steering was heavy but probably cause I’m use to a m4. How it got down the road. I completely get why ppl crave them. As I do now. M4 will be going. Who cares about speed n numbers it’s how it feels n drive

[@StefABtv]

That’s it, speed and numbers are one thing but it’s great to have an engaging car that makes you smile!

[@juandesndr]

Very happy for you buddy!! Hope to get my own Porsche some day!

[@jablondon7254]

I bought a 2006 C2S about 12 months ago. Threw the PASM away straight away and had her dialled in on KW V3s. Took it straight to the Nurburgring after that and haven't looked back. Such a great car! mine is Balsalt Black also. Great choice!

[@StefABtv]

Must be great on kw’s! Thank you! 🙏

[@JacK-yr8ri]

Awesome dude, the 997 is my fave Porsche. Killing it

[@StefABtv]

Thanks!

[@hl236]

Congrats! Finally something different by a KZbinr. 997 are well priced and the aero kit looks great!

Thanks man 🙌

[@MATB1278]

I keep watching this video over and over again! I will get a 997 one day! Congrats step 👍

[@cuzzinolaf]

Beautiful car. I was in the market for one of these, but a Turbo Tip with 44k miles came up for sale that I couldn't pass up. The manual version of my car was out of my budget but I'm still pinching myself that I have a Turbo 911. If I "need" the manual in the future, this is exactly what I'd get. Subscribed!! Also, I couldn't agree that the 997 shape is by far the best looking 911.

[@saeyimkuon7394]

What a beautiful car! I'm really happy for you. Enjoy it! 😃😃👍 And of course there will be a video of the trip with this car to the Nürburgring...

[@StefABtv]

Thanks! 😃

[@grantmckendry3323]

Amazing, love the aero kit, great spec. I'm on the lookout for a GEN2 but the manuals are hard to find never mind with the aero kit.

[@StefABtv]

🙌🙌

[@bastee2727]

Congrats. Treated me the same way with a C2S last month. Brilliant car👌🏻

[@NickG24]

Well done Stef, looks like a great car. Been a while since I’ve caught up with your channel. Sounds awesome, like a Porsche should. I might be in the market for a “proper” car again soon too!

[@StefABtv]

🙌🙌

[@danielheathcote5625]

Stunning car fella. Whatever generation you want, always just go for the one that’s right when the chance presents itself. My dad looked for ages for his g series, ended up calling into the Porsche centre near to where he was at a meeting in Corby, sales exec showed him a few in stock, including the one he bought - it was stunning condition, and had his dream spec (leather, sports seats in nice colour, good stereo, alarm and immobiliser, whale tail, sunroof etc. The dealer said they’d bring it down to Surrey when they could but he picked it up 3 weeks later when he finished his deal and loved it so much he kept it for 20 years.

[@StefABtv]

Thank you mate. Yeah love this car and it’s perfect for me :)

Awesome. Lovely car

[@darren4943]

Funny enough I have the 997.1 C2 and I bought the Arbath 595 Turismo after watching your channel. They are both amazing cars, I love both cars as they put smile on my face every time I drive them 😂

[@philcliffe6909]

Congratulations on the new car, it looks fantastic. You will probably now always have a Porsche in your life. You need to do one of those movie video's like the Alfa.

Haha yeah. Got the Porsche bug now!

[@WanderingFriar]

Congrats on the 4S. Saw you at Ace Cafe London a while ago. Good choice.

997.1 4s is the only Porsche I've driven. It was only a short drive but loved the handling and has a beautiful engine noise

[@StefABtv]

Such a great platform that sounds lovely!

[@jaunenito]

997s are really great cars! Will go down as one of the best 911s, but what makes it truly special is that it rescued Porsche from the 996. Had a 2006 S & loved it. Now have a 997.2 4S, my dream car.

[@scottporter2513]

Great choice 👏

[@VictorDelPrete]

I have a 997.1 2007 4S manual. It’s my third and I’m planning to keep it to the grave. You made a great choice! Enjoy it.

[@jevmobile]

Nice car. I bought a 991 C2 which is fab as it’s simple and modern tech. I would love to get a more noisy S model soon.

[@pappas2026pappas2026]

Congratulations Stef. That’s my dream too; a manual 911. I currently drive an Abarth 500 Esse Esse with Record Monza Exhaust in Red with white accents.

Wow congratulations Stef, I also saw this very same car on auto trader as I was after a 997 4s. The aero kit caught my eye too. Glad you got it! I almost pulled the trigger as well 😂

I’m on the look out for one of these or gen 2 GTS I recently drove a 997.1 Turbo and to be honest as brilliant and exhilarating that it was I found it too explosive and frantic. My choice would always be a naturally aspirated flat 6 engine

[@SupermotoCentral]

Its AWD 😊

[@philnelson2607]

Great vid. Just got a C4s and loving it but my 996 .1 with engine rebuild and MO30 set up gives me more grunt and visceral experience. The 997 is very nice but definitely more refined which is very welcome but my 996 is so raw in comparison and definitely feels more nimble with it being lighter and 2wd. Still in the honeymoon period and hope I get through it or I may keep the 996 and let the 997 go 🤦🏻‍♂️😑

[@2702simmo]

I’ve a 996 c2 with 3.7 rebuild and wonder if a 997 would feel less raw

[@flimper1]

Very pleased for you Stef
