2021 Porsche 911 Carrera S: The Perfect 992
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- This week I finally got behind the wheel of a 992, a beautiful spec 2021 Carrera S... the PERFECT 911!! In fact this is just about one of the best cars I've driven, simply because it is able to mesh electronics/tech with a tactile feel at an unmatched level. Most contemporary cars sacrifice "feel" for tech, not the 992. This lack of numbness is what makes the 992 stand out from the pack. But she costs a pretty penny and is beginning to reach definitive levels of unattainability.
Luckily though, it is still a good chunk of change less than a Turbo/Turbo S, and now that the entire lineup (aside from the GT3) is twin-turbo'd, you can throw on an ECU tune and have yourself a bargain Turbo S. Even better, this C2S that I drove provides a more engaging rear wheel drive experience, and even offers Porsches RAS as an option (rear-axle steer) if you really want to lock things up around corners!
All in all, the 992 Carrera S seems to be the pick of the litter, at least until GT3's hit the market... In all seriousness, for the average buyer, a Carrera S will more than suffice. It balances luxury, with livability, and most importantly a sensational driving experience! I would recommend this car 10/10, big W :)

Two seats in the 911, uh
No limit on the Black Card, uh
What's your 'go-to' 911 spec?? I'd do a chalk on black with deviated chalk stitching and chalk seat belts :))
I agree with you, and I absolutely love the 911's they are so sexy
but then I see the tall boy test..... i need at least 2 talls boys at a time
@@SeanGriffith7 hahaha fair enough
Same
I would go GT Silver metallic and definitely the RS Spyder design wheels. To me that looks so perfect and rich. . Also I like a light colour interior. Could be red or nutmeg or ?? Plus the most comfortable seats offered whatever that is. Perhaps the 18 way? All that and a nice medium tint on the windows.
One of the best 992 reviews I’ve seen so far, dope job bro. Just put down my deposit on my first 911, 992 C2 in chalk with glass sunroof, carrera s wheels in satin black, exclusive design tail lights, sport side skirts, high gloss black Porsche & 911 emblem, with black leather interior with guard red seatbelts, chrono & tach. Going to be the longest five month wait of my life 😂
Thank you brotha!! That sounds like a pretty sweet spec 😅 at least you can watch videos while you wait haha
How are you liking it?
Excellent, put a video of it on here!
Americans and Europeans complaining about the car being $150,000 whilst us Australians crying looking at the $450,000 price tag for the C4S and $750,000 for the Turbo S.
Try Singapore and Thailand.
That build Quality and engineering it cost there’s no way around that they are not affordable nor should they be. If they become affordable the quality and engineering decreases. That’s why there’s BMWs and Audis
Totally feel you... I guess my argument is that even those Bimmers and Audi’s should cost less, they all should lol!! But yes I see what you’re saying and generally agree
I drove the 2021 in May of that year, ordered 1 and just got delivered yesterday, now a 2023 model.
Best Porsche video yet. Thank you, you efficiently summarized what I have been thinking in an organized manner.
Excellent review. Because you're showing Porsche's passion for tradition and innovation. And you are showing your passion. Well done!
Thank you for very kind comment 😎👍
Very good review and explanation of the feeling you get when driving a Porsche. To me Porsche cars just keep getting better and better with every new model refresh. The 992 has reached supercar performance levels and this 911 will hold its own against Ferrari, Aston Martin, McLaren, Lamborghini, etc. The steering feel, weight transfer, braking performance, suspension and driving dynamics of the 992 are simply amazing. It’s built with a level of precision assembly and advanced engineering that is rarely found in the automotive industry where the focus is on reducing cost and squeezing more profit out of each vehicle. Count me in as a new subscriber.
I think you’re bang on! Too many manufacturers are trying to squeeze dollars out of cars in very obvious ways, Porsche is winning the reasonably priced luxury-performance segment by holding true to their standards and simply adjusting to the times. I think the Taycan is an amalgamation of these very simple Porsche standards and new expectations to compete in suddenly electrified automotive space.
Great review. I just got mine (coming from a tuned M4), I agree with all of your main points! Can't wait for ecu flash tuning by next year.
That’s gonna be awesome!! Great move, I love the f82’s also, but the 992 is a major step in the right direction
I believe you deserve more views and subs. Completely covered everything I ever wanted to know about this car. Cheers
Thank you my man! I really appreciate it cheers :D
dude, spectacular review. your assessments, insights, and feedback were outstanding. thx for posting.
Great review. Just purchased a 2020 Carrera S and loving it as a daily driver.
How is it after driving it for 8 months ?
Very nice review. That would be my spec too. I enjoy long country drives and weekend trips. My daily is a 2019 Golf R with DSG and it’s a fantastic little car. It’s my first German car and the slippery slope to the Carrera S.
That’s an awesome car, and absolutely a slippery slope to a 911... I had a mk6 GTI with DSG, and have been dreaming of a 911 ever since....
One of the best reviews I've seen, as mentioned below you have a great vocabulary for describing these cars. All the best for your channel.
Thank you!! I really appreciate that 😁
Until the Carrera T arrives to become the perfect "cheap" 992, the Carrera S is the best option. But the base Turbo with sports suspension and without sports exhaust is the 992 you really want. It's just a better driver's car than the Carrera S, they raided the motor-sports department and gave it a better chassis. So it's now much more than just a speed machine, it's the ultimate sports car for the road for people who don't want to be silly.
I’ve heard the same thing about the chassis on the Turbo... and while I prefer RWD, I would probably swing it. It’s still gonna run you a solid 40 grand more than this S to be fair
You've got a great presenter's vocabulary there Reo. Get your hands on a Base 992 Carrera, a lot of people are saying they are the true sweet spot of the line up. I have seen them with very low miles - used - for under $100k from private sellers. It's not cheap, but it's something.
Appreciate it my man!! It’s certainly on a list of cars I intend to review this upcoming year, stay tuned!!
great review. i watched zillions of porsche reviews. this was excellent facts + insight
Thank you, I really appreciate that!! 😤👍
Outstanding review, Porsche is my favorite brand hands down.
Thank you! An excellent car brand!
One of the best reviews for my favourite car!
I really appreciate that!
This car has great sound at high speed
You’re not wrong, just missing a little bit of sound character that 911’s had pre-turbo
Reo, the sound is more playful in sport mode, more burbles haha, sports+ is all business.
I know!! The 992 seems to have less burbles than the 991.2 however! The difference in sound between Sport and Sport+ was more significant then than now
I drive all the time in Sport+ Mode. Just a little adjustment in the higher RPM’s. Wonderful car.
One of the best reviews I've watched, very comprehensive. I'm checking out reviews on the 991.2 and the 992 as I'm planning on getting one soon. I have a 2006 BMW M3 which I've owned since new and have loved it but I've always wanted a 911. I don't need 2 sports cars so getting ready to sell and buy, so I've been researching pre-owned local dealers. I've had many BMW's over the years as main drivers (the M3 is a weekender) and the build quality has really gone downhill. I've mostly owned 5 series and the last couple have not been great compared with past models before they got so "mainstream". Currently have an X5 and just not that impressed with BMW's anymore. Thanks for the great information!
Thank you for the kind comment! Sounds like you have an E46? If so, the M2 competition is worth a look too... although nothing will quite compare to the 911 😎
I think definitely the new shifter is best design! the small light design of it is pretty unique with the rest of the new interior design.
And in the GT3 they did give a different shifter where it's a little bigger think that was well thought out.
But the one thing I don't like is the same key fob they've had for 18yrs now lol Not to mention they don't have remote start those are my only two things I dislike 😆
That was crazy informative, great content!
🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you !!
Reo great video. I’ve been shopping around for a 911 and the dealer offered me a gt3 allocation without being on a list. But I need the car to be a daily driver. Thanks for the great video
Got you!! You can't really go wrong with the GT3 in the sense that it's close to the 'ultimate' 911 - with that said, it seems like the 992 GT3 is closer to an RS, so maybe not as great for DD. If you can swing it, the Turbo S is faster than God
Love the videos you put out, keep up the good work!
Yessir! Appreciate it
amazing video first time watching this channel just impressed by the great clarification throughout the video
Thank you, I appreciate that! 😅👍
just bought my LC500 last month, and plan to hold it for a while, I have to say LC sounds much better in my opinion, but this will be my next car for sure, just simply because it’s a 911🤣
Haha that's awesome. The LC is a future classic!
@@Reoniz this one is pretty much what I want for my 911, it looks amazing, good review man!
@@user-py1jw3kp4p thank you! Ya I was really digging this spec as well 😎
Yeah with a stage 1+ M-Engineering tune, you can get pretty close to 600hp out of these, that has to be insane. I have only driven the base 992, but the S seems like the way to go (bigger brakes, LSD on the rear, and the bigger turbos)
I see these driving around LA and the butt is sooooo big especially on the cabrios... I’m still not used to the Megan Thee Stallion rear end. But they have to make the car thiccer over time to position it as a Grand Tourer and make room for the 718
Hahahahaha stallion rear end on the 911
Ya, now with the 992’s all having the wide body, you’re definitely onto something, they’re thicccy
Buuuut (pun intended) I like the wide body older 911’s, so I’m perfectly ok with this move
II’ve got over 18,000 miles on my 992 C4S, and it can (and does) do it all. Including on snow and ice…and wet roads.
That's epic!!
younger gen might have different taste
i got 911 carrera S for my 40 yo birthday and I went with GT silver and exclusive carrera wheels...nothing black in the exterior cuz it would look too sporty for me
Haha, I'm not sure how much of it is age based vs personal taste, but happy to hear you got the spec you wanted... hell of a machine 🥳
The Carrera S is more than most people can handle. No need for anything more. I have a 997 and enjoy it mightily.
Sure... but what about a GT2RS? All jokes aside I truly think the GTS is the perfect 911 for anybody 😎👍
@@Reoniz yes, it's excellent. But, I cannot justify spending more than the Carrera S already offers
@@charlesshankle3178 understandable and fair 👍 ... this particular 992 C2S was plenty of car-especially as a daily
@@Reoniz to me the Carrera S is not something I would wanna daily. I have a Ram 2500 diesel for that. But, one could daily it. To me the 991 and 992 are the first porsches that are really able to be daily driven due to their size. They are not a 997 on back, not that precise in feel, track, etc. But they are excellent. But, they are different in the way that a broadsword is different to a scalpel
@@charlesshankle3178 well put!! The Ram is an ideal daily 😤
A point on modding. It's much better to mod the lower power version of each engine capacity. The 3 liter S is already modded by Porsche the right way - better turbos, better brakes, bigger/wider tires and the chassis is set-up for that level of power and traction. If you go further on the S you'll end up with even more turbo lag, not enough traction, not enough brakes and a rear wheel drive chassis that wasn't made for that level of power. Now modding the Turbo is much better with the AWD, the even wider tires like the Turbo S and the much better sports chassis. If they give the future Carrera T the S brakes this time, taking that to ~500HP and upping the tire size to 20"/21" also makes more sense than modding the S.
I see what you’re saying here, and I’m not a particularly huge mod’er myself... but I do think the 992 S can easily handle an appropriate ECU flash 😎👍🏼
@@Reoniz
Have you seen how a torque curve looks after a typical ECU flash? The lag increases by ~1000 RPM and you get a huge peak of torque then it goes downhill like a feminist in her 30's. By the time you arrive at redline, it doesn't feel like a sports car anymore. So you end up shifting it like a regular car.
@@ferdinandbardamu3945 no I do see what you’re saying. A majority of the time, and particularly with higher end (performance oriented) cars... I’m of the belief that the manufacturer has created the best and most balanced product straight out the box and you shouldn’t tamper with it.
With that said, I think the real strength of ECU tunes on modern FI cars is that big TQ boost you got down low that helps them feel more akin to their “bigger brothers” .. ie a slight tune on a 330i will help it feel more similar to a M340i on initial acceleration - just my opinion though
I am actually eying the 2022 GTS, but I want to make sure as a daily driver the comfort is still there. Coming from a technology background, I don't mind Porsche loading this car with a vast array of tech options. Great in depth review ..
Thank you so much! Ya the GTS wasn't actually out at the time of recording, but it sure does look sweet now that it is.
I think the GTS is the ultimate 911 daily for those who have the $ to spend. I will of course say, it ultimately is a 911, and surely won't be as comfortable as many cars out there, but what it lacks in the comfort, it makes up for with absolutely ridiculous performance and some of the best "visceral" sensations you'll get in the relatively affordable automotive space. 😎👍
Nice review...why no mention of the available 7 speed MT? It makes the C2S even more engaging and fun to drive.
Thank you sir! You’re right I should’ve mentioned it, I just haven’t had an opportunity to try it out yet :(
My S has quad pipes which look the best in my opinion hate the fact to get a better exhaust sound you have to go with the ovals
Fair enough... although the ovals are synonymous with the Turbo/Turbo S
@ 6:32 … this head movement is from Indian culture. It was interesting to see this when I visit Mumbai & areas. I don’t know if this is YES or NO when I first experience, but it’s their culture to show listening or considering.
That's interesting... I've never been to India, but I'll look for it if I ever visit
Spot on review... Thanks for the great video brother.
Thank you my man!
I’m waiting on the C8 Corvette Z06, I keep looking at the C2S and C4S....but even with the prestige and amazing performance, the raw more supercar look of the expected Z06 is more appealing to me. And it will still be cheaper and perform at or better .
That’s fair. I haven’t spent any quality time with the C8 aside from sitting in a parked one. While the rear-end is not my cup of tea design wise, I can’t deny the price and performance you’re likely to get out of the Z06, looking forward to seeing it come soon!
I think you’re a corvette guy, or you’re not. I can’t see even comparing the two. The 911 makes me happy inside just to see it, the corvette I know is fast but I have absolutely no desire to own one
You had me up until the reving lol, it sound like a electric turbo off wish.
Sound is not this 992's strong suit, but the driving experience is sublime !!
I dreamed of this car for some reason last night...
First time viewer, great job...
Thank you!!
Excellent review- you need more views.
Thanks, I appreciate that !
Good, concise analysis! Well done.
Solid Review - have owned and daily'd 911's since 1994.....now my regular is a 997 in a loud color - to this day, almost everyday someone wants to race me or goes rippen' by me ......... makes me laugh - gotta be manual however Holmes .
Just put a build together and it was mid 130k. Didn't opt for the red interior. Black on black with my choice of subtle DRIP. I wish a manual gearbox was optional.
The manual is optional! Unless you're talking about a base Carrera?
Either way, sounds like a clean and subtly spec... drippy too 👀
fun fact: the rear brake lights are in the shape of two 11's for 911.
Or 992
I watched this a week ago and had a shot every time he said I or me. I've just arrived home from hospital after having my stomach pumped and electrolytes.
Handling. 911's have always been known as "the best handling sports car". Based on the reviews I've seen and the few I've ridden in....I do think the difference in handling IS noticeable. Even when driven by the typical driver with average (at best) driving skill not being a competition PRO driver. I mean, honestly, where will this car be driven? Or any $100k+ car? City streets where the road conditions are less than ideal..so doing a Mario Andretti impression would be foolish. An average driver will still feel the difference in handling in everyday driving with mediocre skill. That's the reality.
Tech. Like the addition of the camera views. Not sure if there's a "object detected STOP car feature" . If not there should be. As well as "Auto Parking Assist" (parallel/perpendicular park itself and take the car out of the parked space). Some might disagree but if so many companies have spent the money to R&D "auto park assist"...then there is a demand and usefullness. In this age of high tech...WHY NOT? :)
Should be aftermarket companies that can swap out the shift knob. Even Porsche Design. :)
The 911 design IS classic. Better not make any drastic changes ever.
ENGINE. Every sports car brand has a naturally aspirated model. Ferrari-812 Superfast. Lamborghini--all cars are NA. Audi-the R8. Porsche the GT3...why not a 2nd one? About theT model.
Spending any more on a sport car IMHO is a waste of money (e.g. Ferrari, Lambo, McLaren...etc.).
Well thought out comment. I definitely agree about the driving skill and driving conditions that most 911’s drivers will be experiencing!! I only slightly disagree with the excessive cameras or “auto park assist” if not because they slightly go against the ethos of the car... they certainly are a bit ridiculous on such a small car haha.
No I completely get everything you’re a saying and agree that after driving the 992, I couldn’t imagine spending 2-3x the money for a Ferrari - I’m sure I’ll eat those words after spending some time in a Pista :))
And I can only hope the forthcoming T (provided they make it) has an NA motor, although I do enjoy some of the trade-offs of forced induction, and don’t think it’s likely that Porsche steps away from that when the GT3 is already NA....... but they just did exactly that with the new 718 GTS so who knows ?!
First time viewer here, nice review man! But being a current owner of a 2021 Carrera S, I am deeply considering trading in for a 2022 Cayman GTS 4.0 PDK naturally aspirated car. Please let me know your thoughts, the 911 feels heavy still, although its powerful. What would you suggest?
I'd be leaning towards the 718 GTS for the more raw experience... but there's no denying the 911 is still king
I wanted to elaborate by saying the more 'go-kart' nature and larger NA motor of the GTS would be a draw forsure, but the 911 is no slouch at all 🤔
Good review surprised you don’t Have more subs
Appreciate the compliment... believe it or not, I only had something like 500 subs when I dropped that video 🤠
911 always no.1
😤👍
Gts is the way to go!
Awesome and honest review. I also wonder why they've got so big?
Thank you !!! It's unfortunately the direction the entire industry is going for a combination of safety and "luxury" reasons :/
Really great review!
Thank you!! 😎👍
Debating C2S vs C2 - but was curious how you felt about the C2S vs the 850 that you reviewed?
To be completely fair, the M850i cost the same as a mid equipped C2, and the C2S I drove was $25k more than the bimmer. That aside, they’re both great cars. For pure driving bliss, the Porsche wins hands down. However, the bimmer is more objectively luxurious and well optioned out of the box.
Despite having more power, my butt dyno didn’t tell me it was much faster, but it did have a more muscle car characteristic and power delivery vs the Porsche being the definition of “balance”. You’re also gonna get a bit more space/practicality out of the bimmer... only matters if you need it, and it’s not night and day, but can make a difference depending on lifestyle and access to other cars.
Lastly sound, once again the bimmer wins this one. Although the Porsche does open up nicely on full throttle, it doesn’t have the consistent grunt the bimmer has.
All of that said, if I could, I would personally take the 992 every single time :)
Thank you for the video great work.
Appreciate it!!
what's different between S and 4S? including more package in 4S? but basically you can choose the optional in Carrera S?
What you described is actually the difference between an S and GTS!
The difference between an S and 4S is just all wheel drive, with the S being RWD and the 4 in the 4S standing for AWD (it used to also include wider rear fenders and a connecting taillight, but all of that is standard on the 992 anyways)
Im speccing my 911. Im quite partial the clean lines of no sunroof but then i saw your sunroof. Does the glass roof really enhance the driving experience? Or Can a beige interior be enough to brighten the space up without a sunroof. Thoughts on the metal sunroof as a middle ground?
So this actually isn't my personal car... I would go slick top if it were me! I'm not a huge fan of sunroofs in performance applications 😎
The 911 and cars in general are cheaper than ever. A 2004 997 Carrera S started at $90,500. In today's money that's $124,400. A 2021 992 Carrera S starts at $115,100. Over $9,000 cheaper! Cars only look expensive because your country is at the end of a 50 year downward spiral of offshoring and cheap foreign labor imports and your ruling class is hell bent on keeping that up. You went from a solid middle class to young people not being able to afford a house and raise children. So a 911 is to you what a Ferrari was was to your parents.
Hahaha damn... kinda true (although the 997 S actually started at $79,895 which is more like $106k) but your overall point is still fair
Thanks for the review
You got it!!
p.s. I love me a good 116710
100% bad ass!!

dream car 😢😢😢😢
It's sick 😅
Solid video
I wish they still had an air-cooled line.
Luckily we can still buy the older cars 😅
guys there are people watching this video saying to their wives - hey its a good deal- lets buy the 2021 Carrera S! I am just kidding obviously. They don't have any wives- they've got girlfriends!
Hahahaha if they can afford a 911 AND a gf... more power to em
Love the review
Thank you 🤧😎
Great content
No one would agree; but I prefer the c2s over even the gt3.
Love the car. Hate the moving spoiler. Ruins the look of the car when it's up.
That's a fair styling assessment... I personally like the spoiler, but I have a question for you - GT3, you taking wing or spoiler (Touring)
An awesome review thx
Thank you!!! 😎
Vrooooooooooom🤗
Awesome review. Are these wheels satin black or gloss black?
Thank you! These are gloss black!
@@Reoniz Thank you!
Is it worth the $$$ to go from the base to the “S” for daily drive and weekend short trips? New or used?
So it really depends on what you’re going for. I’m still a firm believer that a base 911 is a true purity spec vehicle, and used for around $100k it’s a fantastic value proposition. However, if you for instance want a new and more highly optioned out 911, then the natural move is to go S. Finally, if the S is all that’s in your budget, and you want the fastest, best setup 911 YOUR money can buy, then the S is obviously that. TLDR: I’d get an actual “base” Base model, or a slightly more loaded S.
It is if you want a manual or you intend to use the car all year. And if you don't want to wait for the Carrera T.
Beautiful car I ❤️ it
I love it too
great vid
More smiles to the miles...you get what you pay for. I get it, it’s a lot of money and that’s why I’m driving a ‘09 and will never be able to own a current model!

nice review,
how would you stack against fully loaded g80 m3?
Thank you, haven't had a chance to properly drive a G80, hard for me to imagine it's superior in pure driving experience to this 992, but obviously more practical
You didn't show enough of the car.
There is no substitute
Great movie 🤠
Porsches are so good, their sounds? Not so much at least for most of the trims. It’s a shame amazing cars like the 992 turbo sound like a vacuum sucking up crayons
Unfortunately true for most models, the GT3 still sounds fantastic, as do the 718 GTS and GT4 models!! There's still a sliver of hope 🙏🏼😎
@@Reoniz amen Porsche is the last line of defense for car guys
I hate it. It no longer has any sports car look or feel to it. It simply looks too futuristic. I will stick with my 2013 911 Carrera S. Thanks.
All good, the beauty of the 911 is we all have a our favorite flavor, and all opinions are valid.
Your 991.1 sounds sweet, you can check out the 993 C2S I put out this past week... truly a delight
@@ReonizThanks for the compliment. I purchased mine new in 2013 after waiting 5 months for the build in Germany. If I could I would get another from the early 1970s or even the 1980s I would. Those were my favorites. The very first one that I was in was my buddy’s brand new 911 Targa, light blue metallic with the targa top. I always wanted one afterwards and the only car that I love more is my 2011 Aston Martin DB9 with its V-12.
@@scarletmacaw wow... those G-body 911's were truly special!! I actually just did a video on a 77' 911S as well (engine swapped to a 79' SC Targa 3.0) that was like jumping in a time machine for me. Times/cars have changed.
@@Reoniz definitely. The older 911’s were the epitome of “true sports cars” whereas the newer models have become so luxurious that by the standards of the 70s and 80s they would’ve been considered luxury sports/GT cars. Times have sure changed. People want that “old sports car” feeling and that is why mint examples are fetching such high prices.
@@scarletmacaw yessir, and that desire will only grow as cars become electrified
Why is the base not perfect?
Hahah it's perfect too, but I drove this when the base was hardly out!! Going to try reviewing it soon
@@Reoniz fantastic
Well, I think you are right with the Sweet Spot. Have you tried the Turbo S? Is it worth the ridiculous price increase?
Haven’t had a chance yet, but based on a short ride in the 991.2 Turbo S, it definitely feels faster, but it also feels different. Ridiculously high boost, AWD launch, and a stiffer setup. Worth it? For a normal person tryna get the most bang for the buck, probably not. If you have money to blow and want the fastest “daily-able” 911, yes!
@@Reoniz Well, it's not a rational decision anyway.
My Dream Car was/is a Black Turbo S but things changed like Taycan launched and electric vehivles look more like the futue etc.
Currently, I'm deciding between keeping it "normal" with a Carrera 4S in Crayon like you showed it or keeping it utterly stupid with a Black Turbo S or maybe even a Taycan S (but I'm not into Limousines I just like the electric approach they took). Hard decision! :)
As much as I’d love to suggest being rationale.. since you want AWD anyway, and since the Taycan intrigues you, just get the Turbo S and enjoy what that beast has to offer before the inevitable happens :)
@@Reoniz Yeah, probably I should do it sooner than later, or it will never happen :). When will you test the Taycan? All reviewers who tested both said the Taycan is the clear choice over the 911 ...
@@chrisgg I hope I can get behind the wheel of a Taycan sooner than later. But I’ve also heard great things... and they definitely stand out when I see them on the road. I’m still partial to internal combustion engines for edge they have in “character” but the Taycan may sway that battle a bit. You should go test drive both!
They've increased in cost over 25% in 3 years. Too expensive I will pass
nice
Thanks!!
Turbo S or no S
Turbo S if you can do it!!!
It is not that good looking of a car but it is faster than you may think that it is. It is still a Porsche even if it a base model.
Very fast car, especially this S trim... I also find it quite handsome 😍
With a tune this car will smoke most people .... What are you smoking? ..with a tune...... Who wants to buy these types of cars to put tunes on them? To smoke who?

Decently priced ? I built one and with tax&license came up to 180K
Exactly... that's why the one I drove in this video - still well equipped and under $140k is decently priced.
Buying any product we have to sift through what is "marketing BS " (created to help sell more product but has no real gains in useablity/performance...etc.). Most of the other 911's are unnecessary. Their th same car with "more or different standard options"...minute increase in HP...about 10 :)
You buy the GT3 (only if you already owned 4 are you allowed to order a new GT3) fo the "Naturally Aspirated sound". I'ts not faster to 60 than the Carrera S.
You guy the Turbo S for it's 0 to 60 time of 2.7s (some reported getting it down to 2.5s...vs the Carrera S' 3.4s....are we actually going to notice a few tenths difference?? Even IF we had the Turbo S to compare....NOPE. WHat difference is that going to make in stoplight to stoplight city driving? Driving over pot-holes. ..behind a minivan and next to a Kia...?? :)) Lets get real here. And most of us are not competitive raod-racers...amateur or PRO....most have at best "average street driving skills"...we'll enver push any heigh-end sporrtscars even 3.4 to their limits and ....LIVE. Maybe not even halfwa heh....
Just won the lottery? Get the Carrera S for the "Porsche 911 experience" :) or buy a used GT3 :))
You should’ve gotten stick shift. Automatic boring
Well it’s not my car haha, but I can’t argue with you, manual is fun!! Although, just like I need to try a 7spd 911, I encourage you try PDK, it isn’t your average “auto”
waiting
never as good as the 3.8 flat 6
What is a verbal tune?
I have no idea
It's when you do the exhaust burble, pops and bangs verbally.
