Thank you so much for uploading this. Motorweek has yet to release this one and the only other version of this on youtube is very low quality. So, thank you!!! I have the 2006 997.1 Carrera 4S and owned it for 15 years now. Still love it so much and still checks all the boxes for fun to drive excitement. Best car I have ever owned and still feels amazing even compared to friends newer cars. Don't believe all the fear mongering on these engines. I have owned 5 Porsches with these engines. Driven over 400,000 miles on them and never had an issue with the IMS bearing or Bore scoring. I will say this. The oldest of these models is almost 20 years old now. 2005 did have the smaller bearing from factory and does need the IMS bearing upgraded for peace of mind. Most of them have already been done by previous owners. There is no such thing as a bullet proof car, especially a 20 years old car of any brand. So if you buy one, do your due diligence when buying a 20 year old car of any kind. I still take mine to the racetrack to this day and it still keeps up with the big boys. Amazing car.
3.8 liter of that era has cylinder scorching problem .Be careful when you look to buy a used one .If they car has that problem you need to rebuild the engine and it is costly.
