The more you go down the rabbit hole with the engineering, the more you become a Porsche fanatic. Every single thing is so precise and so well thought-out that it's just astonishing.
Personally, not a Porsche fan, but this looks like a great drivers car. Porsche really keeps the faith with the 911. Love the vids Matt, keep em coming. You should replace Leblanc on Top Gear IMO.
***** yep, that too. Leblanc clearly is taking his unhappiness out on the screen, however, he seems flat and bored. But Evans needs to go immediately. Top Gear UK will aways be Clarkson et al, but in their absence it should be perhaps Steve Coogan, Jay K, and Matt Farah as the Yank. Although Matt would be better in US Top Gear, alongside Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno / Tim Allen.
Crazy to watch this video while I signed a contract for a 991.2 carrera 4s three days ago. 29y old, grinding hard, paid in full. A dream come true for sure.
Really enjoyed the video. Whats not to like..carving canyons in a Carrera 4S. I agree with other comments...you should do more "One Take" videos with Zack. You guys have some good back and forth banter.
once you hear the new 991.2 in person with the turbos, the sound is incredible for the turbo motor and you won't think as much about the previous 991.1s. And i tend to be more of a NA kinda guy (except for the 90s jap sports cars)
Shwa Andary He is probably thinking RWD hatch with mid engine or engine in the back...which I doubt would happen even if Porsche were to ever make a hot hatch.
I had the same exact feelings about the 997 GTS I did a video on! I did not want to leave the car. I wanted to live in there, I wanted to keep on driving it until I ran out of road, and then build more road so I could continue driving it.
Before the video even started I wanted to comment that you should bring Zack or any of the other podcast guys with you when you get press cars like this, then the episode started and..... Pleasant surprise!
Greetings from Stuttgart :D At work I drive around all kinds of Porsche Parts on a Pellet Truck (had to google that word lol) Differentials, bits and pieces from the Inside, Transmissions and even Windshields. I'd say every morning I got parts on the pellet truck and forklift worth around 1.25M$. So in a way I am actually driving Porsche haha
Personally, I love the RWB Porsche the same way I absolutely LOVE Liberty Walk Ferraris, Lambos and what not. I know you weren't asking me, but I thought that I'd chime in. lol
WikdSeafood I deleted the comment of the guy who answered to you. Not because I don't respect his opinion but because wishing death upon someone is just not okay. So glad YT has this feature..
The car seems pretty good. I never got to drive a Porsche but I imagine it's a bunch of fun and even passion that comes with it. And the sound is just awesome man! Well, good video like always :)
Great video Matt, but for God´s sake how the guy in the car in front of you is going to know what are you doing?. I´m sure without the camera on board that double yellow line don´t stop you to just pass over those cars.
Sometimes guys who are driving in front of you won't even notice that someone behind want to pass, In addition of that with all my respect to you Matt why do you think everyone should let you pass?
Definitely think this is the way to go for reviewing press cars or newer cars like this. Always nice to hear a second opinion or other people's comments. Zack is a great reviewer on his own too.
+TheSmokingTire +powaup Oh ok I don't really know Porsches. Was just looking at the Porsche website and saw the GTS stuff. This is like a 2017 version or something?
Matt- my Viper has a Prius laser gun!! Zack- you voiced my opinion about Porsche, exactly! I love that you can drive the car at 10/10's and not feel like you're gonna die...
With Zach in the car, it adds a great commentary to the video. Really enhances the video, he should come along as many press car reviews as possible. Both of you guys have a similar viewpoint with cars, and you both have a good knowledge of the spectrum. Great video, keep it up.
In my opinion definitely not. It drives better and is more dynamic and the new PCM is better, but the naturally aspirated engine just sounded so much better and is in my opinion a lot more emotional to drive.
Yeah. While I had this press car I drove a modified 991.1. The turbo car would walk the NA car so fast it's a joke. Once you try the turbo motors the NA motor feels like it's dragging ass
Wow! Maybe it's more of an enthusiasts thing. I mean we just drove the 991.1 4GTS head to head against the new 4S and none of us chose the new 991.2 because of its lack of sound and emotion. It doesn't give you that smile the 991.1 did. But it was quite impressive how fast the 991.2 reached 200 km/h on the Autobahn.
+Kaipeternicolas if I didn't know the extra power was possible, I would say no I don't need it. But because I know the car can be that fast, there's no going back. The new Boxster/Cayman is the same way. The Turbo motor is so much faster it's ridiculous, and it's faster in ways you feel on the street more so than the track.
The most shocking part of the video was the Prius driver who actually moved out of the way. I'm seriously shocked. I live in CA and Prius drivers are notorious for being the most oblivious people on the road. (notorious among people who don't drive a Prius, don't shop at whole foods and didn't vote for Bernie).
At 0:59 it sounds like a proper diesel! I love it. Later it gets even better. Keeps the 'Porsche sound', even with turbos, while making TDI's shy at the red lights...
You can't compare them. They're at two VERY different price points. Only thing they got in common is 4WD.. What a dumb comparison. Dump the cash left over after buying an EVO and trick it out, then what?
That shit is only an open invitation to get ridiculed. People who buy these cars are supposed to know better and not have to flaunt some virtual sense of superiority. Plenty of evos out there fast enough that they won't have time to read the lols on your plate.
Like how you have the camera on you and the passenger in the bottom corner and have the road ahead as the main view. So many videos have just the driver, I hope others take note.
I have a 991 Turbo and a Merc as company car, so Merc gave me a AMG GT for testdrive in the hope to replace my 911. The AMG GT is a realy nice car, but the 911 has a driving style wich no other car could match. The 911 is like a tailor-made suit, everything fits perfectly and therefore you trust the car and can drive them realy sporty without nasty surprises. You always feel at were are physical limits and can drive the car at that limits. The 911 drives extrem direct wich only can be compared as touching something with and without gloves.
+Rick2010100 that's your opinion... and at a starting price of 115 k it's an option for some . I feel like the Benz has more of a presence on the road plus a better interior
Donny Rino You say "presence on the road" but finaly mean show effect. The 911 has not this show effect, but more convincing inner values wich matter if just the show effect bores you after a while.
Tiff Needell once said that the tracktion control of the new cars, specifically the porsches, is so good that you really don't need all wheel drive anymore. Any comment on that ?
I think AWD used to sort out lots of "rear engine situations", and it's true that today, the system will keep anyone out of trouble. It really is very good. But, if you live in a snowy area, AWD is always superior (if both cars have the same snow tires). I would certainly rather have 4 wheels pulling me from snow than 2.
love how they managed to stop the car for the first shots exactly at the end of a couple of big fat black tyre marks that someone had left after a big donut. I wonder if they meant it or if it was just coincidence.
So fast forward, you have now driven the 992.1 and even the 992.2. Each of those is larger, faster, more technologically advanced and more $$$$. Considering those (I have allocation) vs the 991.2 Targa, I went with the 991.2, and could not be happier. The others are amazing cars, but i find the 991.2 just a more visceral experience. It puts a smile on my face.😊😊
I've seen 911 Turbo on snowy I-684 NY bound commuting. That was really cool to see yeah you can daily it literally all year around in Northeast with 4WD sports car.
It's really easy to lift the front axle on the new cars with all the torque, so it'll start to understeer more vs .1. I personally believe the rear steer is what they did to counter that chassis/suspension set up trait. Without that option, it feels like it needs camber IMO. On the 4S the split on the 4wd is different from .1, so it's much harder to keep sideways :) (requires lots of steering input on a skidpad, but it'll do it fine with the right technique).
Zack and Matt in a One Take is a real dream come true. I understand it isn't always feasible for him to join you (Matt), but if you have the opportunity, I hope you take it! Thanks~
I love the configuration and color choices. I like the exterior color, the interior color choice, the Carrera s wheels. I might go for the RS wheels if I ever buy this car.
Invite this guy to drive out here in Southern California, State Highway 79 from Julian to Borrego Springs with this Porsche. Sure we'll find him at the bottom of the canyon the way he drives.
Super-sexy car, but yeah on the base being the best value. An affluent friend of mine settled on the base over the S and has absolutely no regrets, especially in regards to the steering (which he loves).
What I don't understand is how this car sounds so much like a 911 from the outside but the car that MOtor TRend used in their Ignition episode sounded like a 911 with an ebay turbo kit and an obnoxious blow off valve?
The more you go down the rabbit hole with the engineering, the more you become a Porsche fanatic. Every single thing is so precise and so well thought-out that it's just astonishing.
Zach was a great idea! Use him for every press car one take
Agreed! He always adds so much humor while staying on point. Definitely enjoy him on the podcast. Compliments Matt VERY well!!
Agreed. More Zach!
This. 👌
Or don't and that would be great too.
I was going to type the same comment, I'll just upvote yours. Zach is a funny guy.
Im really happy you chose Zach to come along, for some reason I really like him. He's a character and also smart.
You really are more than just pie.
+Zack Klapman that's funny lmao
Zack Klapman engine response?turbo lag ?
horn was removed to drop the price
Lmao you can tell by his face when he said that
removing the horn is a $2,000 Porsche option because it saves weight (Porsche Marketing)
dont you know it works the other way with porsche? it would cost more without horn
Options: - Horn Removed +5000$ , saving 0,001 Kg for better track performance xD
+Dgpcars1608 exactly :-)
I drove this car (manual) in Houston yesterday.
Hands down the best car I've ever driven....!
The new intro is a nice touch great review as always matt
"Yeah its terrible, its so faaast and still sounds like a Porsche..." Loved that haha. You guys are great, thanks for all of that!
Personally, not a Porsche fan, but this looks like a great drivers car. Porsche really keeps the faith with the 911.
Love the vids Matt, keep em coming. You should replace Leblanc on Top Gear IMO.
LeBlanc can stay Evans just needs to go
***** yep, that too. Leblanc clearly is taking his unhappiness out on the screen, however, he seems flat and bored. But Evans needs to go immediately. Top Gear UK will aways be Clarkson et al, but in their absence it should be perhaps Steve Coogan, Jay K, and Matt Farah as the Yank. Although Matt would be better in US Top Gear, alongside Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno / Tim Allen.
+ChaosphereIX all they need to really do is drop Evans for Harris
+ChaosphereIX screw that show. it's complete shit now
amen
I have no idea what they are talking about but I enjoy these videos nevertheless
+Kenneth Swift sarcasm lol
how are you on this channel, if you don't know what they're talking about...
Really glad to see Zack back in the car with you, it's like a mini TST podcast.
Crazy to watch this video while I signed a contract for a 991.2 carrera 4s three days ago. 29y old, grinding hard, paid in full. A dream come true for sure.
Congrats! 👊
I love to hear it! Congratulations dude! 🇿🇦
Nice, these are still $90K+ in good condition, you are ballin 😂
Not sure how many times I have watched this video, just cement my decision 3 months ago to buy a CPO 2019 C4S. Such a great stinking car.
I've driven 991.2 4S PDK Cabrio for a day and just from that experience I have to say it would be a perfect daily driver sports car.
As a cyclist, car enthusiast and a fan of your videos thank you for the respect you show towards cyclists.
Really enjoyed the video. Whats not to like..carving canyons in a Carrera 4S. I agree with other comments...you should do more "One Take" videos with Zack. You guys have some good back and forth banter.
Watching this as trading my ftype r for a 991.2 4S so the comparison video has me sold
Zach is a great addition to the one-take. Hope to see more of these.
once you hear the new 991.2 in person with the turbos, the sound is incredible for the turbo motor and you won't think as much about the previous 991.1s. And i tend to be more of a NA kinda guy (except for the 90s jap sports cars)
05:12 I think the word Matt is searching for is "refinement". The Porsche 911 is, and always was, a really refined sportscar.
The way it burbles and pops on almost every overrun is fantastic. Huge fan of the entire soundtrack.
Id buy a $25K Porsche hatchback in a heartbeat.
GTI :)
I typed Porsche not Volkswagen..
+Diego Tobar It's definitely the closest you're ever going to get for 25k. The GTI and the R both somewhat have that "Baby Porshe" feel.
Shwa Andary He is probably thinking RWD hatch with mid engine or engine in the back...which I doubt would happen even if Porsche were to ever make a hot hatch.
I just want to own a Porsche guys ;(
lol
I had the same exact feelings about the 997 GTS I did a video on! I did not want to leave the car. I wanted to live in there, I wanted to keep on driving it until I ran out of road, and then build more road so I could continue driving it.
My buddy and I had a car salesman in the back of a 991 Turbo LOL! So much fun! also they guy wasn't that small.
You guys did good. Love the banter on the podcasts so it's good to see you guys talk about cars. Do more of these.
Give Zach more airtime! We all love him on the podcast.
Before the video even started I wanted to comment that you should bring Zack or any of the other podcast guys with you when you get press cars like this, then the episode started and..... Pleasant surprise!
I'll buy it in two years when it's only 40k... Just kidding, I still won't be able to afford it.
lol maybe in 10 years itll be 40k
***** Haha yeah true
It's a 911, not a 7 series BMW.
The bank probably owns 95% of his . Dumb way to live
+Ben Chesterman tell that to Donald trump
Every video i watch about Porsche's, the more i love them. Also nice intro matt!
one day
For that price tag you could get a 997 GT3 (assuming in that time it doesn't skyrocket), better buy maybe?
+Ryan Cooper better fun for sure. But at the end of the day the 4s can do pretty much anything
And that is a huge part of its appeal for me and for most others who choose to buy the car. The Carrera can basically be your daily driver.
one day , I'm also hopeful for a good 997 manual transmission
work hard my main man don't let your dream be dreams :D
Greetings from Stuttgart :D
At work I drive around all kinds of Porsche Parts on a Pellet Truck (had to google that word lol)
Differentials, bits and pieces from the Inside, Transmissions and even Windshields.
I'd say every morning I got parts on the pellet truck and forklift worth around 1.25M$.
So in a way I am actually driving Porsche haha
A little question: What do you think of RWB Porsche? A lot of people seem to hate them which I don't quite understand
Personally, I love the RWB Porsche the same way I absolutely LOVE Liberty Walk Ferraris, Lambos and what not. I know you weren't asking me, but I thought that I'd chime in. lol
WikdSeafood I deleted the comment of the guy who answered to you. Not because I don't respect his opinion but because wishing death upon someone is just not okay. So glad YT has this feature..
Awesome! I have been to Stuttgart many times and even the Porsche Museum. Greetings from Luzern, Switzerland.
l33tnobody1337 One of the reasons that I love the LW kits are reactions like his. It seems it's either you love it or you hate it.
The 'horn doesn't work' on a $142K car? Seriously?
Weight reduction bro. It probably was an option lol jk
It works, but it's a tone that poor people can't hear
omg lol
HAHA!
I enjoy Zacks humor and witty comments on TST podcast
The car seems pretty good. I never got to drive a Porsche but I imagine it's a bunch of fun and even passion that comes with it. And the sound is just awesome man! Well, good video like always :)
Oh...and really nice new intro you've got there!
Great video Matt, but for God´s sake how the guy in the car in front of you is going to know what are you doing?. I´m sure without the camera on board that double yellow line don´t stop you to just pass over those cars.
Quality information :)
All I need now is 140k. ..lol
Well you can get an older Carrera (2000 to 2005) for chump change nowadays.
>30k is chump change
No.
+headcas620 um yes
headcas620 Compared to 140k it is.
Sometimes guys who are driving in front of you won't even notice that someone behind want to pass,
In addition of that with all my respect to you Matt why do you think everyone should let you pass?
Bring Zach along more often!!
Definitely think this is the way to go for reviewing press cars or newer cars like this. Always nice to hear a second opinion or other people's comments. Zack is a great reviewer on his own too.
Wouldn't the Carrera GTS or Carrera 4 GTS be the top in the Carrera line?
There is no such thing as a 991.2 GTS yet
Not out yet for the 991.2
+TheSmokingTire +powaup Oh ok I don't really know Porsches. Was just looking at the Porsche website and saw the GTS stuff. This is like a 2017 version or something?
games0124 yea that's the last gen model on the Porsche website
Ah I see ok. So that's why this is special then.
Matt- my Viper has a Prius laser gun!! Zack- you voiced my opinion about Porsche, exactly! I love that you can drive the car at 10/10's and not feel like you're gonna die...
I thought a Mercedes SL550 would be the perfect car for SoCal?!
With Zach in the car, it adds a great commentary to the video. Really enhances the video, he should come along as many press car reviews as possible. Both of you guys have a similar viewpoint with cars, and you both have a good knowledge of the spectrum. Great video, keep it up.
Oooh new intro!
Nice me like it :)
Great to have Zack in the car to bounce ideas off/keep it going while Matt is driving.
that interior is absolutely gorgeous
Optional equipment on the porche also includes a driver's seat, passenger floor board, windshield, left-turn signal, and right-side headlight.
more Klapman!
Wow, one of the best vids you have done in the last years imo (I don't comment usually).
Porsches are almost too nice. Great review.
Cool to see Zack on here, he's one of my favorite supporting people in the podcasts.
Would you have this over a 991.1?
In my opinion definitely not. It drives better and is more dynamic and the new PCM is better, but the naturally aspirated engine just sounded so much better and is in my opinion a lot more emotional to drive.
Yeah. While I had this press car I drove a modified 991.1. The turbo car would walk the NA car so fast it's a joke. Once you try the turbo motors the NA motor feels like it's dragging ass
But do you really need the extra power? I mean, there are speed limits everywhere, don't you much rather enjoy the sound of the .1 ?
Wow! Maybe it's more of an enthusiasts thing. I mean we just drove the 991.1 4GTS head to head against the new 4S and none of us chose the new 991.2 because of its lack of sound and emotion. It doesn't give you that smile the 991.1 did. But it was quite impressive how fast the 991.2 reached 200 km/h on the Autobahn.

The new Boxster/Cayman is the same way. The Turbo motor is so much faster it's ridiculous, and it's faster in ways you feel on the street more so than the track.
that flat 6 sounds amazing! wish the 992 still sounds like this
The most shocking part of the video was the Prius driver who actually moved out of the way. I'm seriously shocked. I live in CA and Prius drivers are notorious for being the most oblivious people on the road. (notorious among people who don't drive a Prius, don't shop at whole foods and didn't vote for Bernie).
At 0:59 it sounds like a proper diesel! I love it. Later it gets even better. Keeps the 'Porsche sound', even with turbos, while making TDI's shy at the red lights...
I would get a license plate frame that said "Lol at Your Evo"
The car alone says that. No need to spell it out. Well, I suppose for the knuckle-dragging Evo owners you may need to...
You can't compare them. They're at two VERY different price points. Only thing they got in common is 4WD.. What a dumb comparison. Dump the cash left over after buying an EVO and trick it out, then what?
That shit is only an open invitation to get ridiculed. People who buy these cars are supposed to know better and not have to flaunt some virtual sense of superiority. Plenty of evos out there fast enough that they won't have time to read the lols on your plate.
That's like a Corvette owner who calls out Mustangs. It just makes you look like an idiot.
yet evo will smash this with money on it...
and still have enough to buy a few more evos lol
At the end when they're talking, what's going on with Zach's seatbelt? (You can see the logo but it doesn't line up with his shirt....)
that freaking malibu/impala
Really good with Zack. Adds a nice element. Like the new graphic entry as well. Good job!
Can you please stop filming these films in USA and get somewhere where you can actually overtake people and drive it properly?
Sure! Wanna buy me a business class ticket to Europe?
+TheSmokingTire hahaha
LOL
TheSmokingTire Can't you fit in an economy seat?
Easy to say, isn't it?
Like how you have the camera on you and the passenger in the bottom corner and have the road ahead as the main view. So many videos have just the driver, I hope others take note.
:)
The Carrera 4S is the ultimate all-season semi-exotic daily driver. I hear you Matt...all I would want to do is drive this too. No excuses needed.
Cool car, but I think the new Corvette Z06 gives you more bang for the buck and, in my opinion looks much better than the Porsche.
Faster, definitely.
Probably less practical for daily driving
+851995STARGATE I agree.
Juan. Lega
But your still right, I'd rather spend my money on a more raw z06 with z07 package
corvette fanboy spotted
the new opening graphic is good. simple, communicative and brief.
two words 'amg gt'
I have a 991 Turbo and a Merc as company car, so Merc gave me a AMG GT for testdrive in the hope to replace my 911. The AMG GT is a realy nice car, but the 911 has a driving style wich no other car could match. The 911 is like a tailor-made suit, everything fits perfectly and therefore you trust the car and can drive them realy sporty without nasty surprises. You always feel at were are physical limits and can drive the car at that limits. The 911 drives extrem direct wich only can be compared as touching something with and without gloves.
+Rick2010100 that's your opinion... and at a starting price of 115 k it's an option for some . I feel like the Benz has more of a presence on the road plus a better interior
Donny Rino You say "presence on the road" but finaly mean show effect. The 911 has not this show effect, but more convincing inner values wich matter if just the show effect bores you after a while.
+Rick2010100 again that's your opinion! I believe. the Benz is faster in a straight line and I would be shocked if it was as fast on a track
Mercedes would get destroyed by the 911 Turbo and the Turbo S is in the top 5 fastest accelerating cars on the road.
Enjoyed having both commentary, Zach should come along more often!
What a great review Matt and keep the vids coming! :) Greetings from Finland
Tiff Needell once said that the tracktion control of the new cars, specifically the porsches, is so good that you really don't need all wheel drive anymore. Any comment on that ?
I think AWD used to sort out lots of "rear engine situations", and it's true that today, the system will keep anyone out of trouble. It really is very good. But, if you live in a snowy area, AWD is always superior (if both cars have the same snow tires). I would certainly rather have 4 wheels pulling me from snow than 2.
I think that's probably true unless you plan to drive the car in snow.
Love my 2019 991.2 4 gts! No plans to change!!!
Nice to see Zack back in a TST Video!
love how they managed to stop the car for the first shots exactly at the end of a couple of big fat black tyre marks that someone had left after a big donut. I wonder if they meant it or if it was just coincidence.
So fast forward, you have now driven the 992.1 and even the 992.2. Each of those is larger, faster, more technologically advanced and more $$$$. Considering those (I have allocation) vs the 991.2 Targa, I went with the 991.2, and could not be happier. The others are amazing cars, but i find the 991.2 just a more visceral experience. It puts a smile on my face.😊😊
I love the spool up sound of the 991.2 engine's turbos.
3000 launches is incredible especially when you consider the new NSX needs a new clutch after 400.
Hopefully you get a chance to drive the 911-R in the near future.
I've seen 911 Turbo on snowy I-684 NY bound commuting. That was really cool to see yeah you can daily it literally all year around in Northeast with 4WD sports car.
You two together are always the best and entertaining. :-)
This with RWD but still the AWD widebody, manual and just the sports exhaust in Miami Blue is the perfect car for me.
I'm loving this format for press car one takes.
It's really easy to lift the front axle on the new cars with all the torque, so it'll start to understeer more vs .1. I personally believe the rear steer is what they did to counter that chassis/suspension set up trait. Without that option, it feels like it needs camber IMO. On the 4S the split on the 4wd is different from .1, so it's much harder to keep sideways :) (requires lots of steering input on a skidpad, but it'll do it fine with the right technique).
Yaaay! Zack is back! Thank you, Matt, for your consideration on this matter :D
Drove my first 911 today and all I can say it the Baddest car out there!
I really like zac and mat on one takes
Zack and Matt in a One Take is a real dream come true. I understand it isn't always feasible for him to join you (Matt), but if you have the opportunity, I hope you take it! Thanks~
I love the configuration and color choices. I like the exterior color, the interior color choice, the Carrera s wheels. I might go for the RS wheels if I ever buy this car.
Hope to see some insane cars. I really enjoyed the amount of fright the 335 "drag car" made you have!
I like the little podcast at the end.
How do you know there aren't any police patrolling during these high speed runs? Are there spotters along the route?
best color Porsche makes. I love the dark brown inside as well.
Would definitely love to see more of Zach. Seems like a cool guy who is really funny and knows what he is talking about
Invite this guy to drive out here in Southern California, State Highway 79 from Julian to Borrego Springs with this Porsche. Sure we'll find him at the bottom of the canyon the way he drives.
Haha, Zack is such a character. You guys make a great duo. +TheSmokingTire
Great to see Zack here!
Super-sexy car, but yeah on the base being the best value. An affluent friend of mine settled on the base over the S and has absolutely no regrets, especially in regards to the steering (which he loves).
I like seeing Zack here for these press car One Takes. It's like having a video podcast!
Oh hey the M3 8380 labs shirt dude.
Rene Hourian =D
Wish you would have covered how sport plus/auto is now drivable in city on the new version. Not manual mode....auto mode
Excellent format. Really dig it!
Why didn't the horn work? Or was that not included as an option?
That option got whacked off
+pgf202 Best comment!
PASM is now standard on the base here in the UK.. Be suprised if it wasn't in USA?
What I don't understand is how this car sounds so much like a 911 from the outside but the car that MOtor TRend used in their Ignition episode sounded like a 911 with an ebay turbo kit and an obnoxious blow off valve?
