I’ve owned my 992 base 911 now for 4years now no regrets great car
I want one so bad. I drove a 911 Turbo S for a day and it was friggin MIND BOGGLING. It stirred things in my brain and body. I would absolutely settle for a 911 Carrera 4S. But I'd love a Turbo. The Turbo just hits so hard. So thrilling.
911 all day long. Nice review Joe. 👍🏻
I really appreciate you saying that!
So many facts!!
911 over a Corvette Stingray every day of the week.
Perhaps, but I'd take the E-Ray over The Porsche. It would be the only Vette I'd want.
You say that cause you’re being a typical Porsche fanboy have you driven them side-by-side?
@@jamesbarbato2192 not at all. The 911 is a superior vehicle in my mind - simple as that.
I've driven them side by side. 911 every day.
Where do I put my golf clubs? That’s one reason I got the Cayman S. The new C8/Eray/Z06 check all the boxes at the $125k and under price. More bang for the buck. I’m do for an upgrade and the 911 and GT4 Cayman are in a fight with the C8. I’m leaning toward the Z06. Can’t lose choosing between those three.
Always wanted a 944 Turbo in guards red. Just closing the door on any Porsche felt like a bank vault.
Red looks great on a Porsch!
Bruh, you need to try a G wagon door.
944😂❤
Yes, I’d go for the 911 over a C8 any day of the week. Love the soft, flowing lines of the Porsche.
Great review👍🏼❤️
I'm a Corvette man and always will be. But I gotta admit that this car is Very Cool.
I come here for the dating advice.
I am here to give it! LOL
NEVR get married!
@@truthserum5310Isn't that the damn truth! You could have two 911s without marriage 😎
I have a 21 911 and it’s the best vehicle I’ve owned hands down no desire to upgrade
That is so wonderful to hear!
bc u haven't tried a c8 z06 yet
Are the seats uncomfortable?
It's always good to come home to another Porsche video from Raiti's rides!!
That means so much!
Is it better? I dunno. I do know I want both in my garage!
Yes of course & this is literally my dream car.
Dream big!
The Corvette might be faster, and every number on paper might be better, but there are so many intangibles with the 911. It just feels different than really anything else. That matters, to me anyway.
You are so very right about that!
I’m missing old days when we can buy good sport car for 20-30$ now most people can’t afford
And candy bars were .25 cents-the good ole days
@@weirdshibainu 25 cents? I remember the big, fat Tootsie Roll being only 5c.
Also sports cars are soooo much better now
86 / brz is $30k
Definitely need to be well off to comfortably play this game.
At the Porsche dealership I was probably the only one sitting in finance signing papers.
Everyone else, mainly Nigerian and Eastern Bloc folks, were paying with cash. 200k+ purchases.
Always the best reviews from a real car guy. Maybe not the fanciest drone footage or talk of soft-touch pretentiousness, just the facts which includes the good and the bad.
Thanks, Joe. I really like the blue and wheel combo in this one. Nice looking.
All mighty 911!! Joe really wants one!!
Amazing review Joe.
M340i 5 months ago, and eyeing this for 3 years from now. Keep being the best at what you do, Raiti!
You got it Luis!
one of the best reviews you made
real car enthusiast feeling WOW
Porsche vs corvette lol
Love my 20’ Carrera 4S ! And thank you for a good 911 review !
The fact that the Corvette is now a competitor is really impressive! Kuddos to it's team 👏👏👏
For me, I prefer the 911.
Not the Porsche I would buy but for less than 200,000 dollars this is fantastic option.
Supercars r coming out today r not prioritizing handling but Porsche is so it should hold value well maybe even go up in value after u buy it as lukewarm handling Supercars r released from other brands and heavy hybrid ones
That Blue is stunning by the way.
their PTS blues are cool
@@aviator-kn8zq exactly. They do have a darker blue that looks good as well.
Utterly amazing color.
by the way ?
Porsche is higher end quality car🎉
Thank you two for the great. Video!
911 way to go. The driving experience is second to none and I can hear that flat 6 sing all day behind me
It's funny, I don't like anything about this car, the sound being the least interesting part. How does one hold this opinion?
I love Porsche, but their exhaust notes are usually uninspiring, I don’t think they sound good at all.
@@KO-iw3vu you got to hear it more often and drive one and maybe it’ll sway you to like it
@@user-zy9qg2eq1h It sounds like a turbo muffled small displacement engine like half the new cars on the road these days. Porsches are like Apple products, they don't do anything the best, but somehow command hefty premiums based on reputation, marketing, and social engineering. The more I watch these videos, the more I realize what I've read people say about them is true; people buy these to daily drive as they are reliable (as far as sports cars go), they hold their value better, and they are status symbols. I'll just chalk this up as it's a car for people with the opposite reasons as me.
@@RepEvox the so called howl comes alive as you rev past 3K and the NA flat six are amazing wdym
Wow awesome car… great video as always….
I'm a little confused... you have C8 Corvette in the title of the video... but then don't mention it, compare it, drive it, etc. in the video. Seems like a little clickbait going on.
Nice review. I have a base 991.2 Carrera and it has plenty of performance for my needs. There is no substitute. 😎
Funny commentary about the anniversary at 3 months. Lol liked!
Thanks for letting me share it all with you!
Looks cool
This guy…. A teddy bear for your 3 month anniversary!!!
21:53 Correction, my friend! Don't forget the Caymans that have a naturally aspirated flat 6...for example, the GT4 RS and Spyder RS have the same engine as the GT3. You may recall that I have a 992 GT3 Cup, 992 GT3 (manual), 992 GT3 RS, and a GT4 RS in my collection. You didn't specify that you were limiting your comment to 911s, so just throwing that out there! Cheers!
Caymans are super badass but overall daily driver nothing is better then the 911. 100%. Perfection. From comfort to top speed.
@@SamA-nf7wy Other people told me the comfort is much better on the 911
In europe you can tweek remap a 911.turbo s.900hp
what about base cayman?
@@rogerdodgerxd What about it? Do you have a specific question?
Hey Joe, can't wait to see your review of the 2025 911 sir.
Yes of course & this is literally my dream car.)))
Cool Color!
Great video, but am I wrong about the base price? I see the 2024 base Corvette starting at $69,995 and the 2024 base 911 starting at $114,400. , if that's true then why are you comparing them?
Those are as advertised but in reality add $30K to both by the time you walk out the door. Can’t even find a used Stingray for 69K.
@@markettrader911yes you can…there are tons for sale right now
@@markettrader911 Yes but you are also adding that money to the 911. Still a huge gap enough to buy another car.
@@turkpowered9978 shut up idiot
Love the wheels. Great throwback to the Fuchs.
Nice review sir
Many blessings ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I think this is the one my friend Matt bought but his is Lava Orange and different rims. I made a video of his car and my Ford Focus RS. His car got me to really love this 911, in my mind it’s 911 Turbo S or no car, ok maybe that’s a Mopar phrase but after seeing his in person I really wanted to get one. I can’t wait to watch your video Joe when I get home.
Miller w/ the C8 trade in?
@@Drewman2023 I think that’s him.
I'm his neighbor w/ the red 23-C8-htc
@@Drewman2023 Which red do you have? I might get a 2024 or 2025 C8 HTC. Red or Yellow.
Those are one of my favorite Porsche wheel designs!
You have great taste!
Beautifully styled, beautiful color, simply attractive rims. Reminds me of the Falken Koblenz rims.
Even the interior ergonomics is simply designed without any exaggeration.
The 8-speed automatic is fine with me. Been driving a manual since post high school.
Great review as always Joe. Great question about the Porsche 911 and the C8 Corvette.
But since you’re the best reviewer of them all 😁
I’m looking more towards the Lotus Emira Manual transmission.
Please can you review it? Naples Motorsports got some. 🙌
I’m so glad that I could share them with you! I will try to arrange it with them! Thank you for your generosity!
Thank you Joe and looking forward for the Emira and all future reviews!
You've done a great job presenting this.
Love the wheels - a tribute to the classic Fuchs.
Favorite 911 color and wheels! Just want it as a Targa and then it's perfect. GORGEOUS
joe you need to climb into the frunk sometime
Beautiful 911!
I have a base coupe ('22) with an APR tune. It's a wonderful car.
Your steering wheel comments were 💯 on the money.
the anniversary part got me 😂
Fantastic ! 🌟
Beautiful car for this review. I wished you would’ve shown what the sunroof looked like opened.
Love that color. Love the content Joe.
Simple and clean Especially w the interior. This is what I wish the Mustang would have done. But nope. They fkd it up 🤦. Great video as always
Joe please go to Jacksonville lotus and test the Emira. I have one on order and want to see what you think of it.
Love my 2010 911 Carrera S forever! Never selling
Alright Joe let’s see if this Porche 912 Carrera it will be our pick
Now thats a beautiful car, no question! Damn
Beautiful.
It really pops!
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video real true 👍
You got it my friend!
Great review, 25 models, oh boy
This would be plenty for me. Looks so sick
I love your comments on the Carrera. That color is gorgeous. A friend of mine sold his white Carrera 4. I’m not a fan of the color white. I had a white 78 Pontiac TransAm. He had the blue wheels & interior. I forget the name of the shade of blue. It was an automatic & it was a 400 engine. Don’t remember the pound feet. It took 6 months or longer to order. Due to the Smokey & The Bandit Movie in 77 Pontiac couldn’t make the TransAm Fast enough. Anyway the Carrera 4 looked larger than the Carrera itself. Is that possible? Does the 4 stand for 4 wheel or All wheel drive? I love the Porsche Carrera. I could never afford not to mention the car insurance.
I really like the roads you used.
That is so awesome to hear!
It’s tough I like both cars idk which one to chose from
I like the air cooled ones more
LOVE IT!!
The Flat 6 WAH above 4,000 RPM is right up there with high performance V8s.
Another good video. Thank you for posting. Porsche, and Mercedes, have interiors like no other car. They are beautiful. I would only have a Porsche with a manual transmission, so the PDK shifter makes no difference to me.
I love Porsches. They went from speeding through Poland to speeding through the Nurburgring. Very impressive.
The wheels are beautiful. I love their simplicity and hommage to the classic Fuchs.
No contest 911 over Corvette. Just a far more enjoyable drivers car. Higher quality and just the evolution being no compromise. Wish they hadn't brought it higher market with the cost. Just means I got to buy used
Left some dust from the body shop on the rear hatch hose
I like the analog with just enough tech. great looking vehicle and they have perfected the transmission.
Nice looking car!!!
Aruba, blue, baby, Aruba, blue, beautiful car especially with those palm trees in the background
Hi Apostle Joe, I love the Porsche 911 Carrera I feel like this is the Apostle to the sports cars and I love the "fake vents" and without them, the numper would look rather boring.
C8 all day , you can disregard majority of options and for money you get all the actual important things that make the car and be In 70s . Not gonna happen with 911. If you don't care about money and future cost of ownership you can go porsche . Won't be as exciting as C8 but will do what it does well and out perform its specs and HP ratings , but you will overpay , particulary if you option it . If I'm gonna spend base porsche or S money with options instead I'm getting a base Z06 non Z07 .
Base NA 6.2 I TRUST more then a newish 3.0 porsche engine needing boost to get the power, more strain on small displacement and complication. The NA vette engine is tried and true .
If you can actually order a base porsche and avoid the options and just be happy to have a competent sports car that's not loud or particulary exciting its gonna be good . Base 911s at times were really underwhelming in past like a base 996 with tiptronic that felt like a toyota that resembled a 911 , truly unexciting car for the money . 3.0 liter seems weak for a car this expensive but the turbo getting close to 400 hp and 0-60 in 4 sec isn't brutal fast but that's by today's standards , and in reality is quick and wont overwhelm you so you can thrash it a bit mkre without getting in over your head as easily . Just not much of An event to drive .
If you don't like standing out and just want an expensive good handling car that's quick but not special in its acceleration and money isn't a worry porsche for sure. Some people for reasons I grasp don't want to stand out and be flashy , want to be understated .
But strictly based on Value and ability to get more bang for buck C8 wins hands down. If you option the C8 to high heaven that's a mistake IMO and misses the point . The Z06 non Z07 starts with more standard equipment and has one of the best engines today and the E-ray is similar and priced great and if you don't option crazy you have a sick car for price that's super useable and super fast plus AWD .
@@RandyJM21 Thanks
I have a nicely optioned 911 base 991. Agate grey. Great value for a really clean and used pre-owned. 350 hp and can do 0 to 60 in the low 4's. Since I am not a wealthy buyer and pay cash, it was perfect for me .
What a cool color.
I’d love to learn about the Porsche and Ferrari horse relation!
That's a beautiful car!
Nice that you can still specify them in stick shift !!!....
Its the Porsche for me joe! And that color is awesome
love this color.
Someone modded those side markers, looks good. (4-pot calipers, Joe)
The Porsche 911 one the best sports cars of all time the 911 just looks so classy and classic the 911 will always be one my favorite looking sports cars 911 fan for live like if you are a fan of the 911
Being honest
Base c8 after and a na va turbo.
C8 transmission tie
Looks subjective but c8 is slick.
Handling c8 beats a base 911.
Price c8.
Ride quality c8 magnaride wins
Steering 911 wins.
Overall c8 wins
it must be warm in florida , joe is dressed for summer. It seems a lot for a base 911, but i do like it seems smaller than the Corvette
I love this title, like it is even a competition?🤣
That stock exhaust is AWFUL
I can understand how you feel.
The stock exhaust sounds fine to me. Raiti, little known, on non "sports exhaust" Carreras (base and S) you can spec sport tail pipes. These are round quads that take the place of these dual rectangular outlets--twin per side. This does not give you the "sports exhaust" and oddly you cannot get these on models so equipped - will still presumably sound the same as this stock dual set up -- but to me is the best LOOKING set up of them all, and really picks up the look of the regular base 911 (or non sports exhaust S for that matter).
Regarding the shifter, it still confounds me that Porsche went this route. Not only not very substantial, it got rid of the +/- at the console which many find more engaging (and less distracting). Not everybody either likes the paddles or wants to use them every time you want to manually shift,.... depending on the mood or situation. The nice thing about the 991.2 and earlier was you could have it both ways, again depending... and they took that choice away.
How come you can't put some type of sports exhaust on a Carerra S?
I love Clearwater Florida.
My 992 is gentian blue. The color to go, no doubt. Nice video👍🏻
Thanks Jose! I really appreciate that!
hi, it is actually 4 pistons on the front and 4 on the back as well
The 911’s are such amazing cars. Love the stance, sound and performance they offer. 😅
That blue is pretty baller.
I know black wheels are being done to death, but they would great with that color. Love the sunroof and the way the gauges are laid out. Thanks Joe
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Cmon Joe. I had a 2.3 give me a break
I missed the 2024 C8 comparison info?
