There's a reason why everyone compares their cars to the Porsche.......I've owned numerous sports cars throughout the years and finally decided to see what all the fuss is about with Porsche. Purchased a 992 4S and there's nothing like it. Hands down the best all around sports car that you can live with on the daily.
The Corvette costs substantially less, not to mention I guarantee it costs way less to maintain. It also sounds much better, given it has a V8 as opposed to a V6. The Corvette also has alot more power. Why you would get essentially a base 911 in the first place is beyond all reason
are you on drugs buddy? i have tested both the c8 is superior in every way, c8 has a faster launch that thing just hooks c8 0-60 faster than the 992 , c8 is faster than carrera in quarter mile and c8 gets way way more attention than the ugly azz porsche its not even close, c8 has more power than the porsche 992 and c8 interior destroys the ugly interior of the porsche so wtf are you left with? thats why said your on drugs wake up lol
I would love to have a C8, but unfortunately I cant afford or have room for both. My 992 C2S is like driving a brand new car , even after owning it a couple years . The excitement and love never fades. Great video.
I considered a 911 carerra s when I placed my order for the 3lt convertible z51 c8. Price was one reason I chose C8 96k fully loaded convertible vs 140k non convertible. 2nd V8 vs turbo v6. 3rd easier to figure out options and order. Have you checked out the options on ordering a 911 it is mind numbing. Some may like it, I don’t. Insurance is next 3k vs 800. Dealer network assumed I am not worthy of buying one to most of the dealers I visited. They just see me in my 2008 Lexus and don’t think of me as a Porsche owner. Little did they know I can buy the car in cash. Dealership on going maintenance is also another reason I chose C8. Now I would not buy any of the previous versions of corvette. C8 is way too much value vs 911. 911 is a great car but for my use and money C8 is plenty.
Couldn’t agree more. I crossed the convertible c8 against the 911, used r8, Benz gtc, and Jaguar f type. Settled on the c8 for 98k. The other thing I liked about the c8 is that it has usable truck/frunk. I can fit my golf clubs in it which was huge for me. It’s a weekend car and feels special every time I drive it. Also it’s so cheap to fix in comparison!
You made the obviously right choice. The fact that you could have a 3LT for still substantially less than an essentially base 911 is insane. Also, as you mentioned, the maintenance is guaranteed to be substantially less money than a 911. Getting a base 911 is what tools do, to try to make themselves seem wealthy, when in reality, no wealthy person is buying such a low spec Porsche. Sad!
@@peterjordansonthe2nd731 false. Corvette is for broke people who want to look like they own a super car. Porsche is for those with class that value superior quality, handling and performance. Also for those who are actually financially Savvy as they depreciate very little and some even appreciate over time.
If I had the money, it would have to be a 911 or a Cayman GT4. Love the sound of the flat 6, it revs to the heaven, the PDK is 'the' gearbox. But I don't have the money 🙂 I'd never ever want a Ferrari or Aston or any such a car, well, I do love the Ariel Atom family of cars, but it's not made for the wet weather, well, not for me 🙂 The 911 is such a rocket, beats every Nürburg ring lap times for production cars. Peace!
Maybe someday I will be fortunate enough to own either one of these, but i didnt hear you mention 2 very important things, depreciation favors Porsche, and the option for a manual, which also favors Porsche
I own a 992 Carrera S as well as a 2019 ZR1. Fully optioned the 911 runs around 150K. They usually cap in the 150 range because anything more than that puts it in the Turbo price bracket. A stock 911C2S will beat the C8 in both a roll and dig. It’s a fact. 5 grand for a tune and some high flow cats on the Carrera S will give it another 140 wheel HP. E85 tune puts it closer to 600. I am sub 3 second 0-60 on city streets with a stage 2 tune. These engines have so much in them waiting to be tapped! The C8 is nice, but it’s not as much fun!
I think the biggest thing with the 911 is the smaller stance, the lower weight and the backseats make the 911 very attractive. Is it worth the extra 60-70 grand? That’s up to you.
If money is of no concern then the Porsche is probably the better choice. If you really want involvement then the C8 is out of the question as no manual is available--don't really care that you can't shift as fast as the automatic, it's about involvement (autos are great for the wife or your mother though). I don't understand why I see so many Porsches (BMW's, Mercedes) with 30,000-40,000 miles for sale stating "new pads and rotors at 35k miles". You can drive the 'vette for 100k miles doing normal maintenance for next to nothing. As most of us only get to go to the track once every year or two, track numbers are irrelevant so comparing the apples to the oranges ($65k out the door to $110k out the door) it all comes down to how much fun you can have on a daily basis and does that car fit into my budget?
No more new GM for me. Been burnt on engine issues where metal parts seem to be made of butter in Asia. I'll stick with Vettes with LS3's and earlier from now on. Not dealing with afm, variable cam, and bent pushrods anymore. I own an air cooled Porsche 911 hot rod as well and I absolutely love that car. I'd probably prefer that one to anything new actually just for the driving dynamics alone.
I watched this video because i have owned both, Z07 and 992 c2S,, i have had a c7, c6 and still have a c2 big block corvette. I see " Corvette is best bang for buck" yes it is i agree........ but best is a different story entirely. GM can engineer a great car, but then when they build it they find cheap parts and put it together. All of mine were rattle traps and cheap inside {sorry} The sum of those parts is the achilles heel. I drove every car out there on my last purchase ferrari, mclaren, lambo, and i fell in love with the GT3,, my god what a car. But for how i use a car i bought the Carrera S, then put the M engineering tune and cat delete and exhaust on the porsche. It makes the same power as my last Z06 but handles better and it is so much more solid,,,,,,, Its a way better car because they didnt go cheap on the parts. Sorry,,,,, but as one of the few that really has owned both.. and yes the Porsche is more money. Earlier in life i couldnt afford a 911 and loved my corvettes,,,,,, but that 911 is just iconic. Honestly service is not bad on a porsche, parts prices they are really high.... When someone buys a porsche they always have porsches.....Also, a C4S with most of the good stuff on it is about 170,, there is so many options it took us 4 hours to build the car, it's like designing a home.
Was just going back and forth between the carrera S, new at mrsp it's new Z06 money, no comparison...an exotic high reving V8 that shreds the carrera s on every level...C8 Z06 on that all day everyday. Ended up getting a new loaded C8 stingray coupe at mrsp as my summer cl car, saving 70K vs the carrera s new at mrsp (trudeau's luxury tax really impacts getting the porsche). Both are great but for me the C8 delivers more enjoyment.
I like the 911 but I’d buy the vette cpo top trim level. The 911 is built better but it isn’t really exclusive anymore. For the price of a mid level 911, you could something slightly used but that’s actually exclusive.
I drove a C8 and was super impressed but the design didn’t gel well with me vs the classic shape and history of the 911. I am blessed to have a ‘22 C2 992 paid for in the garage and a ‘24 Carrera T manual on order. At MSRP. Ordered two weeks ago, delivery first week of March. Love the higher end models but can’t afford them as I don’t finance, and it’s my daily.
The Porsche crest itself makes the 911 the more appealing car to most, but to be honest it’s the C8 for me. I own both a 23’ Amp Orange coupe C8 and a 20’ 992 Carrera Base with slight mods. When you get in the C8 cockpit you feel like you’re in a true exotic or something special. The 911 feels just like my Taycan with the same steering wheel, dash layout, seats etc. I’m picking the C8, Z51 w/ magride every time.
The 911 is an awesome car, but you pay for it. To get a 911 that is a sub 3-sec car is over 150K. Bang for the buck is the C8. I have an LT1 with Z51 with after-market wheels and some custom stuff for 78K. I have an order for the ERAY that should be here in about 18 months. I got the Macan GTS as the daily driver.
All these comparisons always include price, even though the 911 is the benchmark for a reason. I've owned or driven multiple sports/race cars. All of them are amazing. However, NOTHING beats the 911 992 4S, GTS, Turbo, GT3 and of course the fastest most incredible sports car on the planet, the 992 911 Turbo S. Forget about it, it will eat up anything in almost every category.
A 992 Carrera S fully optioned is 160k or more. That's Z06 price, and makes the Porsche look ridiculous. Don't be fooled on Porsches starting price. A Standard Carrera fully optioned is more than a 3LT Stingray. A no option Carrera is a very sad car.
My build is 134k on the 992 s. I have the c8 lt2 z51. I'm debating selling the Vette.. it's great.. it's so fast.. but I don't daily drive it.. I want a daily driver.
@@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921 I agree... I have a 23 c8 lt2 z51. It's awesome.. don't get me wrong.. it's a track monster out there and makes me a hero with my lousy driving skills. But in the streets I miss rowing gears. I like the M2 allot, but it's a different car. The Porsche hits allot of buttons for me. Room, storage, and daily drivability. Although I drove a 992 c4s today with the MT. I was shocked at how much faster my Vette is and how much smoother the suspension on my Vette is. This Porsche has the sport pasm which I think is silly for a gran touring car with occasional track use. The GM engineers have done a fantastic job on the Vette suspension even though sometimes it's a like soft on the track.. I drove my cars 99.9 percent road and occasional track. I have a few days to commit to my allocation.
@@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921 I will say there are few things about the Vette that are gm build quality. Plus when you go in for service your just going to a Chevy dealer rolling the dice with the techs. Also the Vette values are crashing. The Porsches are strong. Cost of ownership on my Vette is average but the tranny is expensive to service... And I do mean expensive. I do most service myself but the tranny needs the gm computer to do a hydraulic flush. It's annoying. I have no interest in an eray. I want less complicated and lust for a 718gts but it's impossible to get.
Good video! I have a 2004 996 911. I almost bought a brand new 2013 991.1 911. I also own a low-mileage '94 C4 Corvette (no one laugh!!! Lol). The 911 is the better car in terms of resale value as well. You mentioned Boomers are buying the C8 Corvette. I am curious about that stat. I believe it would be more of the early Gen-X'ers who are buying them. But that's just a guess. Boomers weren't very good at saving. Lol!!
No shame owning a C4, lol. I have a 1989 Corvette convertible (stock) and had a 1990 M6 convertible that I modified and was running in the 12's. Super fast and I did road trips in it. But the Porsche is much more fun to drive and better built as you know having one.
And I know about price and both cars as owner. So, if you are going to put down the same money, then which one is for you is the question: 992 Carrera S or 4S with good equipment, or a C8 Z06/Z07 also weel equipped. I know my answer.......
I have a 991.2 and have driven the C8. The 911 is on a different level compared to a c8. You will get your money back come resale with a 911, but not with a Chevy 😂
really no wrong choice, but the value of the C8 is hard to beat, especially now that they are showing up strong in the used market. One of my biggest problems with the Porsche 911 is just how few of them they make, so you don't get the benefits of economies of scale.
The C8 corvette was (until now) the same price as the 992 carrera s because of dealer mark up's, I hate when people talk about the C8 as if it is bargain. I didn't see one C8 for under 100,000 dollars (even used) until 2022 and prices were still at 88k and up, realistically the 992 carrera s is a more practical car and outperforms the C8 but is nowhere near as pretty!!
hahaha the author is on crack the porsche interior looks like a pile of crap next to the c8 modern futuristic interior its not even close the c8 is far superior in every way at the racetrack where true performance is measured as well the street, looks its not even close the porsche looks is outdated the C8 is something nobody has ever seen before it looks badazz
The C8 design is grotesque (the front has potential, but the sides, rear, and interior are lost), but this will be invisible to the eye unless you have spent a lot of time studying modernism. Start with Frank Lloyd Wright, Eero Saarinen, Jens Risom, Richard Neutra. If you soak up enough great design you'll be able to see beauty right away. The 992 returned to proper mid-century form with the flat dash (and the ledge upon which the hand can rest when using the touch screen) and the hood that extends lower with hard angled corners.
Maybe if it was a GTS minimum, you might be able to say the Porsche is better. The Corvette could be well equipped and still cost less than the Porsche

really no wrong choice, but the value of the C8 is hard to beat, especially now that they are showing up strong in the used market. One of my biggest problems with the Porsche 911 is just how few of them they make, so you don't get the benefits of economies of scale.
The C8 corvette was (until now) the same price as the 992 carrera s because of dealer mark up's, I hate when people talk about the C8 as if it is bargain. I didn't see one C8 for under 100,000 dollars (even used) until 2022 and prices were still at 88k and up, realistically the 992 carrera s is a more practical car and outperforms the C8 but is nowhere near as pretty!!
C8 Z06 is a better comparison for the price, and at that point, it's no contest. The Z06 destroys the 911.
Porsche man here
Any porshe over c8 including cayman gt4
A better comparison to the 992 is the C8 Z06 at that price point.
hahaha the author is on crack the porsche interior looks like a pile of crap next to the c8 modern futuristic interior its not even close the c8 is far superior in every way at the racetrack where true performance is measured as well the street, looks its not even close the porsche looks is outdated the C8 is something nobody has ever seen before it looks badazz
C8 all day long. Better in almost every way imaginable. 911 is still a great car, but the C8 is a bargain in comparison.
the value of the C8 is too good
I've driven both and for the money C8 wins hands down. 911 is way overpriced
~$75K vs ~$125K is hard to say no to the C8
My Vette was 84... It's great.. but I lust for the 992s
Cayman gt4
The C8 design is grotesque (the front has potential, but the sides, rear, and interior are lost), but this will be invisible to the eye unless you have spent a lot of time studying modernism. Start with Frank Lloyd Wright, Eero Saarinen, Jens Risom, Richard Neutra. If you soak up enough great design you'll be able to see beauty right away. The 992 returned to proper mid-century form with the flat dash (and the ledge upon which the hand can rest when using the touch screen) and the hood that extends lower with hard angled corners.
Carrera S
911 hands down
Porche more serious sports car
Not this generation. Porsche has been a better sports car in the past, but a C8 Stingray is a better car period.
I think the GT3 is definitely WAY more serious, but if you compare the Carrera 911 to the C8 Corvette Stingray, I think they both batch up well
Too much talking...not enough facts
even the base carrera is better
Carrera S. End of discussion. The 'Vette is no slouch though. Full respect.
Maybe if it was a GTS minimum, you might be able to say the Porsche is better. The Corvette could be well equipped and still cost less than the Porsche
911 wont fit your luggage. Storage wise, no supercar can beat c8 on this
911 has 2 rear seats that can be used for loading. Golf clubs even fit. Taking that into account cargo volume is very similar.
