Take the GT3-T to Centre Gravity to get the geometry set-up for road driving. They are magicians when it comes to suspension tuning and have had a lot of 992 GT3 Touring owners in. The cars are also supposed to respond well to a less extreme tyre like a P Zero or PS4S
Very interesting developments re touring. Tyres or PDK perhaps the issue? Sounds like it might be in the sea very soon. Eagerly awaiting future updates.
Tom I’ve just bought a 49000 mile 997C4S cab tiptronic as my other half struggles with a manual. But we love it. I know the fanboys aren’t fans of the tip but once it learns the way you want it to respond it’s great. Just a needs a 6th gear! Great looking cars!!
I agree Tom the 997s are definitely more connected feeling to the road then 991 and 992. The electric steering rack being one of best of any manufacturers still don't feel near as good as hydraulic steering. I would like to try the new gt3rs or gt4rs though. Did you get an allocation on any of those?
Agree with Tom. I'm lucky enough to own a 997.1 C2S manual and it's a cracking machine. Great for a Sunday afternoon blast and shot of driving goodness.
Love the 997 series. I drove a friends 997.1 Carrera manual it was fantastic. Definitely going to buy a ticket for this car. Such a useable modern classic.
Excellent, and excellent :) Love a 997, kinda miss mine actually, want another! Replaced it with a Lotus Emira (see channel for vids) it's awesome, but a 997 has something about it!
Well at least it's an 04 lower road tax. Also can see the FGP sticker, friends green Porsche so expecting this car to be mechanically sound...wish I never sold mine, spec like no other
Where in the Cotswolds did you take the pictures of the 997 Tom ? I agree the 997 is undervalued and under the radar at the moment but when the 911 goes hybrid and (eventually) all electric the 997 is going to look like a real sweet spot and demand/values will climb accordingly.
Being an adult is HARD work. We are moving from FL to KS in a few months. Getting this house ready to sell and buying another house there.....UGH! As a teen we had ZERO worries. What parties to go to, what person to date...etc...
@Tom TGE dont know if its me, I select a question from the drop down and go to enter now, just resets the question not takes to cart etc... might be worth a look at old chap?
I had a 2020 992 S and sold it. My back aches I’m 6 ft 2 getting in and out the 4 ways standard seats didn’t have lumber support. It was a lovely car but ordering my second Macan this time I’m getting a GTS Macan. I’ve had 5 Porsches.
Give the Touring a chance Like you, I've not had a chance to run my car in properly with the crap weather and Cup2 tyres. Maybe you'll think differently on a sunny warm day in June with the full 9k revs available. Loved my old 997C2s back in the day btw
Good Evening TGE hope you are doing well i have to say i like your 992 GT3 touring looks brilliant and the your 997 Carrera S looks wonderful. Thanks you so much
The 997 shape has definitely grown on me and Is probably my favourite.... especially the RS models! 😍 That's going to be one lucky blighter that wins this one!! 😎
Im jealous every time you do a give away both cars and watches since I cannot enter being on the other side of the pond. Another classic banger! Well done lad.
Harry Metcalf found the GT3 steering a bit too much when drove it. I saw Sam from 'Seen through glass' changed the tyres on his GT3 to Pirelli's from Michelin . That's meant to help road manners.
It would a interesting to hear a driving experience from you on a 992 Carrera T given your points on the Touring, is the Carrera T the better real world car??
I have a 991.1 C4GTS (PDK) and a 996 C4S (MANUAL) best of the bunch in my opinion, tried a 992 and I feel they have went to far. Good Video keep buying the 997's and ill keep buying your tickets 🙂
Tom if you did mastermind would Porsche be your subject of choice? You know your stuff! What a incredible car and it’s so nice. You do find some incredible cars.
@@NCB583 regardless these things significantly impact the value of the car, so whatever the price of entry is, the prize is more valuable with those boxes ticked. Obviously you would be very much quids up whatever the condition of the car, even if you bought the max number of tickets, I think everyone realises that.
I BOUGHT ANOTHER 997 PORSCHE 911! Win this car here! classicgiveaways.com/competition/porsche-911-997-carrera-s
Your just a massive show off lol so sad
When I move to the UK (later in the year), will get on these competitions!
I know this is a comp car but so glad this channel has gone from mega lambos to 996/997 porsche heavy content! Keep it up buddy!
❤️❤️🙌
You do but there are worse problems. 993 turbo s please yep yep
You're spot on. 997's will be the next 993's market wise.

Nice to see the love towards the 997.1 👌
Need a 997.2 base manual video from you guys.
@@hazemgiballi it’s something we will do in the next week as we have another base 997.2 Manual coming in stock

997’s are the best daily super sports car, end of!
Agreed!!

What you really need on the channel is a Ferrari Manual F430. The one from the car guys video is for sale at Paddlup.

I only clicked to see the carrera GT….. what a machine ! More of that pls !
AMEN! Finally someone I can agree with. If you come to USA... we can go for a spin in my 997.2 GT3 in the mountains.
Where in the Cotswolds did you take the pictures of the 997 Tom ?

had punt either ways
Great video as always would be nice to see a turbo or turbo s on classic giveaways hashtag my dream car 😜

Fun drive, you obviously know about these 997s TGE. Perhaps get one for yourself to take to the South of France. Smile says it all!
I have one! A 997 Turbo. And RS haha
In to win, great

Loved my old 997C2s back in the day btw
The only problem I see here is that you're not keeping it. Someone will be VERY happy!
Good Evening TGE hope you are doing well i have to say i like your 992 GT3 touring looks brilliant and the your 997 Carrera S looks wonderful. Thanks you so much
I've heard there's an ST 992 coming out which is a GTS with the GT3 engine which is probably more of what you want than your Touring
The 997 shape has definitely grown on me and Is probably my favourite.... especially the RS models! 😍 That's going to be one lucky blighter that wins this one!! 😎

It’s super annoying! We’d love to open it up abroad but we can’t take overseas entries for legal reasons. Drives us nuts. Sorry!
There's a Porsche meet at AW Motor Sport near Chichester in early May. They released details today, could be worth a look TGE
Yes please. Tickets bought. Hopefully 3rd time lucky. Thanks Tom
im off to buy a ticket,,, psssst Tom, can you rig the competition for me please 😉 😉
Tom this beauts in a need of a serious wash brother!🤔😫🙈🤔🙈
Love love love a 997
Great update, and I’d love to see a 996 vs 997 comparison - especially interiors. Cheers!
Guiness called about the fastest housetour! Cool video and congrats on anoher 911!
Congratulations for your new Porsche! Is fantastic and very nice!

Think it’s cos he’s sponsored by them too 😂
I want one ☝️ b4 the price goes up then up some more lol 😂
You can rename your channel to TGE Porsche channel 😂👍
TGE the real PORSCHE Ambassador!!!
Jeez 997’s in the UK are priced low!
Bro drift the gt thats guaranteed million views
Great video 👍 👍
Carrera GT chilling in the garage is CASHH
I love the 19s on these
It would a interesting to hear a driving experience from you on a 992 Carrera T given your points on the Touring, is the Carrera T the better real world car??
I need to drive one! But I suspect it’s a better drive on the road. Not much is worse
@@TGE I think yuor on the money with the 997, perfect mix of old school 911 and modern tech be it GTS, Turbo or GT3.
Love the video and love the car
Hahaha love it TGE! Why not! Go for it.
No way are we saying revisionist history here that a 997 is a “small” 911…
Drives like one compared to a 992
Frozen poop cubes.. nice 😂
I have a 991.1 C4GTS (PDK) and a 996 C4S (MANUAL) best of the bunch in my opinion, tried a 992 and I feel they have went to far.
Good Video keep buying the 997's and ill keep buying your tickets 🙂
Seen a yellow 997 Carrera S this morning. Such a classy , simple shape. Great machines.
Sunny winters day 💙
Would rather watch a cottage tour then a advertisement
Calm down pet
😂
I’m still trying to decide if I want to buy the new M2 Competition, or go through with a 911. Waiting lists are dropping thou
".. and more importantly than anything.." Porsche PCM 1.0 🎉
I’m in……
Where is the wife
997s are so good. No surprise you like them. 🎉🎉🎉
The your a Inspiration to the rest of us keep it up❤
A proper 911 with a roof 👌😜
Could you do a left hand drive for you viewers in Europe?
Unfortunately has to be in this country only - for legal reasons. Not because we don’t want to!
Tom if you did mastermind would Porsche be your subject of choice? You know your stuff! What a incredible car and it’s so nice. You do find some incredible cars.
I bought my second vw beetle today snap
Bore score alert
@@owenscott7775 majority of his comments are negative. He does it for the attention he craves so much.
Been checked & everything done!
@@TGEefinitely worth mentioning this when you introduce the cars for giveaways, borescope is key on 997.1’s non Mezger, same with IMS & RMS
@@NCB583 regardless these things significantly impact the value of the car, so whatever the price of entry is, the prize is more valuable with those boxes ticked. Obviously you would be very much quids up whatever the condition of the car, even if you bought the max number of tickets, I think everyone realises that.
911 game is played out bro... Get a Lexus LC500
Nice prize, I'm in-it to win it Lol
