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.
Here's a few links...

Join me for 10,000 miles worth of experiences in my Porsche 911 997.2 Carrera S
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.
Not bad! I was thinking shop vac over one vent at a time with the others closed and the air on full blast. Haven’t tried anything yet though 😂
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! ❤
Yes! I watched through it a couple of times back when you first put it out, while I was considering doing it on my 996.
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.
Which corvette did you get? And my next video has some actual ribs in it! Stay tuned😬
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!!
😂😂😂 thanks for the kind words and the ... encouragement. 😬. Trust me though: if the dollars and cents tell me I can do it sooner, I certainly will!
LOL, yeah. It it’s only money right? We gotta say those things out loud because eventually, some day they absolutely WILL COME TRUE!! Maybe sometimes…. That 996 really dug itself in under your skin, huh? I’ve heard the early 996 GT3 were pretty light and raw. Should be an amazing experience.
It surely did dig in. I’ll be a 996 fan for life.
Thanks for the comparisons
Thank you for watching
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.
You’re exactly right. Closest thing to resembling driving a manual
Springs and spacers a great idea.
Oh it’s happening. 😬
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!
Ah. Sad news. Would have been nice! Thank you for watching
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!
Thanks so much for watching! I hope the content quality/production quality is getting better overtime. Lol. Yes, I do plan to do the service on mine. And given that there are almost no repair options for the PDK if it goes, I would err on the safe side and do whichever service interval comes 1st: time or mileage. When I do mine, that will be its second service as it was done at around 60,000 miles.
❤😂😢😢😮😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 I would love to see your next time track time at the race track what is your time going around the track? I bet it will be good. Take care. Have a good week and good weekend. I like the video so far you do more I will subscribe but I seen one that’s three months old. That’s not new to me. Thanks. Have a good day. Peace out.
@11.30, maybe don't touch your phone while driving?
There’s no clock function on the chrono. I wish I didn’t have mine to be honest.
Maybe someone will come up with an aftermarket mod to make it work as a clock

The next track day in late September is CONFIRMED!
@@motorsandmeats88 I’m going to a Porsche event in Sonoma Raceway, September 29. It’s a race a show and shine and chitchat with other Porsche enthusiastic and I like your videos and next time I see it I subscribe and take care and have a good weekend.
Any particular reason you chose 997.2 over the .1?
Yes, a couple reasons. I wanted to experience the PDK, and I didn’t want to have the IMS nagging at the back of my mind. PDK was first introduced with the 997.2, and the IMS went away with the 997.2.
@@motorsandmeats88 do you believe the 997.1 motor sounds better than the .2? I’ve been going back and fourth on which gen to get but I want a manual and the premium on manual 997.2’s pretty much prices me out my budget
I will actually have a chance to hear a side-by-side comparison today. I am at Barber motorsports Park for a high-performance driver education weekend. My driving coach for the weekend has a 997.1. I will say that in the Facebook groups I’m in, it’s generally accepted that the dot one sounds better in stock form.
@@motorsandmeats88 if you could let me know! Also if you happen to drive the .1 and you notice any differences good or bad I’d love the insight man. I appreciate your responses!
So I did get to ride in my instructors car, and he in mine. At first glance, they are identical. On the interior, the stereo is more modern in mine, including more connectivity options. My car has sport chrono and his did not. My car was lowered and has modified exhaust, and his was stock. His car was manual, and mine a PDK. I would say that other than those very slight differences, the experience from the passenger seat was indiscernible from a 997.2.
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.
I’ve actually never tried to pair the phone to the car. The PCM3.0 does not have music Bluetooth connectivity. It does have an aux input and a USB input, so you can play your phone audio that way without adding the Joy Auto wireless CarPlay device, So definitely it would be a step back in time if you don’t add that.
@chrisginoc I am updating my PCM3.0 with Mr12 volt, I want to keep the standard look but want to modern connectivity.. I tried other options, via the AUX and the USB , M12 volt came highly recommended on a few facebook groups…
@corvettenyc72op21 I’ve been using my aux cable a lot lately. Eventually I’ll get the Joy Auto unit, but I have a lot of fun things to spend money on first!
@@corvettenyc72op21 I have not seen that unit before. I’ll have to check it out.

How is the 0-60 pull in the Carrera S .2?
Really nice. With launch control I can get there in 4 seconds. Porsche posted it as 4.3 seconds, but both Road & Track and Car & Driver magazines got it done in 4.0
@@motorsandmeats88 thank you! Heard so many different numbers. Great to hear this
Get another duck tail!
Ha. The thought has DEFINITELY crossed my mind
