82,986 MILES
In the probably not too distant future, we’ll be able to look at a 911 history broken into three epochs: air-cooled, water-cooled, and hybrid.
The 997.
2-generation 911 Carrera may well go down as being one of the most loved/sought-after of the water-cooled 911s.
We should probably be snapping them up in droves now.

It’s an exceptionally pretty car both inside and out.
From the engine compartment lid louvers to the headlights, indicators, and hood cut line, a 997 is a very attractive car.
The interior re-design was also a success, giving the 911 a center stack that for the first time looked like something other than an afterthought.
The 997.
2 introduced in the fall of 2008 for model year 2009 at last did away with the IMS bearing and introduced direct-injection and Porsche’s brilliant PDK gearbox.
The 997.
2 engines were simpler designs with 40% fewer parts than its predecessor and has developed few reported hiccups and certainly no pattern of catastrophic failures.
In terms of usable performance, the 3.
6-liter 997.
2 base Carrera is all anyone needs in a daily driver.
It’s relatively light at around 3,200 pounds, and with 345 horsepower, zero-to-60 miles per hour comes up in around four-and-a-half seconds.
The top speed is somewhere around 180 mph.
