Bore scoring is a Porsche reality that hit my 30k mile 997.1. I ‘bit the bullet’ and got a rebuild to 4.3 with Nikasil liners, forges pistons and rods and a whole host of other goodies. It’s an absolute beast now, and in everyday driving, as fast as my 991.2 GT3.

Blew my engine due to bore scoring and went 4.2. Loving it!

FACT : The 911 is considered a Supercar because its consistently been an Autobahn killer for Decades.....this C4S is a 190 mph capable car.....might not be the quickest getting there in todays world but it will do it 7 days a week and twice on a Sunday !! Its the Heritage that sets a Porsche 911 out as a Supercar !

It’s no surprise to me you’re getting (more?) access to Porsches (even though you’re not a Porsche channel, yet) ‘Porsche’ guys generally want to share their cars with other enthusiasts. It’s so rewarding to have a fun car and share that enthusiasm with others. Fun video. Looking forward to the cayman, and 911 turbo, and 3,2 carerra, etc, reviews. ;) Cheers

Guys love these cars , I bought one last year c4S 997 , it’s one of my childhood dream cars I always wanted one but since I am a family guy I soon forgot about them, however it’s surprise me the lazy day to day ideal daily sports car can jump into hyper mode at a press of a button. Strong quality built cars and it performs like no other car once you drop the pedal to the metal! Mine is a 6 speed manual and aero factory kit and rebuilt by previous owner from Hartech rebuilds specialist which was the reason I bought it I looked for this example for years and finally happy

In the process of rebuilding a carrera s 2005 engine right now due to bore scoring, 3.8 of that era are known for this problem.

@MP_pov 9 месяцев назад

My understanding is that it’s the IMS that affects approx 5% of these cars, but bore scoring is due to the inherent design flaw of this engine so will eventually happen to all examples sooner or later. It’s just hoping that you get an example that has had it sorted already, or will happen after the end of your ownership. Is this not correct?

@Kylefromwales 9 месяцев назад

Funny enough only 911 I've driven is a 2005 997.1 carrera 4s automatic convertible. Despite not driven anything that powerful at the time I wasn't impressed by the performance but loved the handling and engine noise

@richtownsend6596 Месяц назад

997 C2S has wide body and 3.8l engine, per the C4S, just in 2wd format. Base Carrera is narrow body with 3.6l. Small point, but the C2S got the widebody with the 997 model.

@roots4x 2 месяца назад

Before I got my 997 and after I got my 997 I never thought of the 911 as a supercar. It's a high end sports car. One of the only last purpose built sports cars left. The others being the Miata, the 86/BRZ, all the exotics of course, the 718, and maybe one or two others I'm forgetting. Chassis and engine built for one intended purpose. Yes, it's a true sports car and that is rare and feels different from a super sporty sedan or coupe based off a mass produced car. However, it's just a sports car that is built in an era where there aren't enough of them. Supercars are sports cars that take it to the next level. I feel that some 911s fit that bill. However, the non Turbo or GT cars are not. What the "lower end" 911s do great is they actually have amazing engineering. It really is the perfect car for gearheads who want a "practical" car (and a bit of money). I think they have superior engineering and manufacturing processes over cars like Ferrari, Mercedes, and BMW. It is an amazing overall car that literally no car on the road can match in its ability to smply do it all.

I have been in the market for a 997 Porsche and all 4 cars I was super close to buying it was subject to bore scoring results and all 4 came back with some scoring on it. Even with low mileage under 30,000 miles have it. Scoring happens in colder temperature while the car just sits there during the winter months. So I think the scoring on the 997's % is a lot higher than that. To replace the engine due to scoring easily will cost over $30,000 USD. So now I gave up looking for a 997. I am now in the market for a 991.1 manual. It's too bad because the 997 body is perfect size.

@pcrock8 Месяц назад

997.2 has exactly the same engine as a 991.1 , slightly less tuned. 385bhp vs 400bhp. No bore scorring issues. Get a 997 gen 2.

@eddiejones-fm7pr 8 месяцев назад

Enough haters to go around in the comment section. 'Supercar' is a relative term, not an exact definition. For example, most people consider a 964 turbo a 'supercar'. It gets left in the dust by this car. The haters would say that's an older car and they would be correct. And that's my point. It's all relative to something. If you don't mind, I'm going out for a night drive in my 997.1 C4S. Nite nite haters. 😆

@accelerateyoutube 8 месяцев назад

You are absolutely right! This was the point I was trying to make, many say speed defines a supercar, but to me, an RS6 is fast...but by no means a supercar.

The 997 was no more reliable than the 996 , in fact the 3.8 is more susceptible to bore scoring . The 996 is a great 911 , lightweight and the 3.4 is a great revs engine .
