Beautiful Car and perfect color. Personally I think you have a solid collector there. The sound and feel of the NA 991.1 is unmatched. However, I disagree about the 7-speed manual. I think the 991.1 7-manual is probably one of the best drivers cars ever made.
I have a '16 GTS with a 7-sp manual and love it. I can't say I have experience with either the PDK nor the 6-sp. I know the PDK is faster, smoother, more efficient, etc. If one appreciates the last NA engine, it seems logical to opt for the manual . I see the PDK the same way I see a turbocharged engine. There'll always be a faster, smoother, more efficient 911.
diego gomez I have the 16’ GTS, 7 Speed also. I can drive to the grocery store behind a minivan and have a blast, the crackling sounds from the exhaust is my favorite. What a car!!!
Nice Review, I actually owned a 991.2 GTS then bought a 991.1 GTS and yep the gen 2 is the better car in almost every way with the exception of that engine note. I'll do a comparison vid soon.
Great review of the GTS. I own a 991.1 GTS registered 01/16 so one if the last ones in Saphire Blue and absolutely love it. Had 996 C4S, 997 GTS and it’s the best if the bunch. Interested to see a review of the 991,2 GT3 RS when you get chance.
Great colour… I’m Lava Orange PTS. I see you didn’t option the center-lock wheels. In 3023 I’m buying a Gen 1 for more than a Gen 2 and even base 992s cost!
Do you think the price of these will come down in line with the GT3’s? I see the prices of 991.1 GT3’s coming down with the release of the 992 and upcoming 993 GT3’s but these don’t seem to be dropping.
Great car - disagree about comments on manual. PDK's had lot of publicity but the brilliance of manual was forgotten about. A 991.1 NA manual is now sought after and extremely rare. If you got one then hang on to it!
It was one of the very last ones. January 2016. They had started selling turbo ones at the time. In fact, this was the very last NA non-GT3 car the dealership sold.
The way this boring guy drives he might as well have a Prius and talk about specs all day. It's like half the Porsche owners I see when I go to the invitation events, spec spec blah blah barely give it enough gas to not stall (thus PDK hahaha).
Bob, lucky for you, I don’t have the time to make videos to bore you with anymore. However, I’d be keen to improve my driving and you sound like a driving legend. I previously posted a video of a dull, and compared to a driver of your talents, no doubt slow lap time around the ‘Ring (lucky for me I didn’t stall that time) If you could be so kind as to share a video of your faster time, I’d like to see it.

Thanks for your thoughts, perhaps I should give it another go. The last one I drove was a 991.2 GTS manual.

Awesome. Look forward to seeing it. 👍🏻
Hi Roger, did you ever film a comparison video?
NOOOOOOOPE you can keep the gen 2 3.0TT, for my money I'll take the NA 3.8 430hp...it'll last longer and cost less to maintain, win win...
No centre locks?
Personally I love the static ducktail spoiler on these.
No centre locks with the CXX pinstripe. Centre lock is cool, but can be a pain...
Hearing him stumble through why he didn't get the 7 Speed manual made me laugh.

Just about time. Need to review all the cars! Thanks for watching.
Great colour… I’m Lava Orange PTS. I see you didn’t option the center-lock wheels. In 3023 I’m buying a Gen 1 for more than a Gen 2 and even base 992s cost!
Brilliant car. I own one too with manual gearbox, and no centerlocks. i think to change it and try to get centerlocks. i love these turbo s wheels :)
is the wheel colour riviera colour as well? Mean the outer rim
Very nice colour and vintage...sounds great. Hold onto it!
Lovely car, lovely review! Keep it up.

The difference is the GTS is now a Turbo car, there’s demand for NA engines. The 992 GT3 will remain NA, the GTS has already lost its NA lump.
Great car - disagree about comments on manual. PDK's had lot of publicity but the brilliance of manual was forgotten about. A 991.1 NA manual is now sought after and extremely rare. If you got one then hang on to it!
Yeah, very rare. Less than 5% of production I believe. Nothing wrong with it, but it’s not in the same league as the R or the GT4 6 speed box.
What year is this, they went turbo in 2016 for the base models (non GT3)
It was one of the very last ones. January 2016. They had started selling turbo ones at the time. In fact, this was the very last NA non-GT3 car the dealership sold.
How reliable is it?
Such a cool car.
It really is! 💙💙💙
