Came here to say the same, sliding scale between both depending on situation/speed. Also those are the correct faces when riding passenger with someone cooking like that.
Amen! Picked up my 981S a year ago, best purchase ever! 911 engine, 911 brakes, Cayman price😂 Really cant go wrong with either MT or PDK really. I think it will become a classic👌
Well a Cayman GTS is definitely not an entry level Porsche at prices near to 60K EUR. The silver 986.1 Boxster S open-top they passed is! Can be gotten for as low as 15 000 - 25 000 EUR atm. Still has 260 hp, does 0-100 in 5.7s and 0-200 in 21.4s, topping out at 264km/h.

@@erickbaka drove that one for a couple of years, incredibly fun car. Then had a 997, wasn't as much fun tbh, not as a daily.
Great lap Misha! I’ve owned the 981 GTS for 4 years now, incredible car, the sound, the emotion, and it still looks like it rolled off the production line yesterday. A real everyday sports car that gives you smiles for days 🏁
Perfect example of how it doesn't take a bunch of power to be fast, balance is so important and being confident in the vehicle makes a huge difference, personally I prefer a car with less power this way you can push thru the corners with more confidence, I'm not afraid to get sideways but don't want to worry about spinning in corners.
The owner combined all emotions with a smile. Scared but smiling, excited and smiling, pure fear and smiling, … Impressed by the car and actually a proof many of us don’t need the GT4.
I have always wanted a Porsche. My dream car as a kid was the 911 Slant Nose Turbo convertible. In 2009 I had my first opportunity of driving my Dad's 2006 Boxster ( Thank You DAD ) and I was blown away too, I had never driven any car that handled that well!. I live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and it felt like the car was made for these roads. I daily a 2016 WRX STI and it feels like it's in it optimal environment too but not quite same feeling of the car being on rails like the Boxster did. The STI will still be driveable in snow unless it's deep then I worry about high centering:D I forgot to add that the most powerful car I had driven prior to the Boxster was my Dad's 1996 Ford Taurus SHO and I was just 16 so it was more power than I knew how to handle at the time.
Hello Misha. If you use CPR filters made for the front and rear cameras, you can eliminate reflections from the front and rear consoles of the car. Sometimes, depending on the angle of the sun, it can be difficult to see the road. I am making this suggestion because I don't want to miss any moments. 😀
Love it! I have a 981 Cayman S ... with GTS spec (all the extras, GTS front and rear bumper , basically the same minus 10hp) and love it... second one I've owned! Awesome video, would love Misha to drive mine with me in it!
The 981 cayman gts is one of the best Porsches I’ve ever driven both in sydney and on the autobahns in Germany. Best all rounder and a perfect daily. Bought the 981 gt4 but still long for the gts.
Best Cayman ever made in my opinion. The 718 cayman 4.0 also so amazing but something special about a balance between usable power, ride quality and handling that I like so much about the 981. It’s just so well balanced.
I think the 981 sounds better than the new 4L engine. Passed on an allocation for new GTS after I bought a ‘14 Cayman S with PSE, PASM, LSD, 6MT-basically a 981GTS. Saved me about $60k.
Had a race yellow 981 GTS for 4 years and loved it. Replaced it with a new race yellow 718 GTS 4.0 . I love the extra power of the 4.0 but... the 981 with it's 3.4 engine felt better balanced in terms of power and handling especially on the road. I felt like I could use full power far more often on the road in the 981 than I can in my 718. The 981 GTS is a peach of a car particularly in PDK which suits the engine better then the manual. I think it's one of the best road sports cars Porsche has ever made, (obviously the GT4 and GT3's are better on track), but most of my driving is road trips to the Alps and Scotland etc and only 1 - 2 track days a year, so the GTS is a better fit for me.
Misha had some deep thoughts going through his mind, and used the ring to process it. Thank you Misha for sharing transparent and sincere content, no matter what!
Wow, great lap as usual!! The GTS seems like the perfect sports car with the power (340hp), handling and style...and it's not as harsh as the more capable GT4 for everyday use. I want one! 🤩
The look of amazement between joy and nervousness is awesome. The downhill on Fuchsröhre into the switchback at Adenauer was an experience for him as his eyes opened widely from increased speed stimuli then into some fear at the turns got a big smile on my face!
I have the 981 GTS as a manual, and although everybody somehow thinks the gearing on it is too long (it is long), I can't quite see to much of a difference between them... My second gear ends at somewhere around 125kph as well and third is also similar.
Glad to have seen Team Bilstein race in the Nordschleife 24h race, there were a lot of people who cheered and screamed your name once they saw the BMW GT4
For a totally stock car, it is amazingly fast and sounds wonderful without being to obnoxious like the new GT4RS. Perfect balance I think. Maybe upgrade brakes if you visit a racetrack more often.
I’ve driving close to 40k miles in a 981 and they are fantastic cars. The car wasn’t even in sport mode and yet the car still shifted so quickly. These are truly great cars to own if you can afford the maintenance
I picked up a 2016 Cayman S in 2020 with 3800 miles on it optioned with The Sports Chrono Package, PASM and Factory Sport Exhaust System. Replaced the 20" wheels with 18" Apex Racing Wheels to soften the ride over stutter bumps and installed Softronic Engine Software which bumped horsepower to 360 so I essentially have a better car than a GTS for a lot less money. BTY book value on it has increased significantly since then.
You scared the crap out of that guy! That's a great affordable daily car, which will give you fun on a track too. Porsche are just such good all rounders, but then I'm biased!
As usual the quiet Misha laps are hands down the best (do adore laps with banter as well though 😅) let's us really see the absolute focus and talent you've got. Massive Congrats on the N24 result btw! Real Shame it didn't all go as planned but it is what it is. Bring on next year! GT3 maybe 👀
you should place a few of your friends around your favorite corners with most action to film outside content of your drives, it would really add to your videos.
That was a "I swear that's not the car I came here with" type of reaction. Jose couldn't believe what was going on and that all of it was happening in his own car. 😅
@@Shinkaaaa What would be great is a 987 Boxster Spyder - probably interesting to see for most ppl how Porsche did reduce weight on everything: roof, seats, doors, ...
I don't know if you noticed but Misha actually had to slow down from 199km to 134km just to let him pass because he could tell he was a bit faster than the Porsche. Not saying the M4* isn't fast just pointing out this is proper driving etiquette on the ring 😁
I was just going to say the same, Misha tapped the brakes to let him by, but having an extra 150+ hp will do that too. I would still take the Porsche keys every day.
theres a diffrence but im def taking the gts as my daily, more exciting for everyday roads and canyons. gt4 and gt4rs don't really get the feeling unless above 4k rpm so I've heard lol.
Awesome ride in a low entry Porsche (if there's such a thing). I'm guessing that the owner has NEVER used the car to it's full potential.. Give it to Misha, he'll show you what is possible.. BIG cheesy grin from the owner from the start to finish 😁 Love it 👏👏👏
The GTS is so underrated and it offers actually a great package. Amazing machine but I didn’t expect it to be so understeery. Especially after Mutkurve. Maybe it’s just because of the tire pressure. Also Hohe Acht it was fighting a lot and the speed wasn’t soooo crazy.
Nice car. Awesome driving. 👍🏻 Does bring a valid question of whether one really needs a GT4 if he/she isn’t a track rat. Love mine, but videos like this using a bone stock GTS holding like this is really something.
I own a GTS but a GT4 is special right from the first engine start as you’d know. It has a presence and aura about it very few cars have. The cabin just feels race car like although I know there are similarities interior wise.
gts market has softened somewhat. I gambled on a 85k mile one for under 50k, previous owners had track camber and aggressive pads, x73 and ptv. drive feels special even raw compared to 991.2
I'm so on the fence between a manual 981 S and a manual LCI n55 M2. I'm modifying either one i get so any inherent issues with either's performance would get addressed, but i cant decide if i want the cheaper m2 with more money left for mods or the flat 6
Dude was moving at 4 wows per minute

Talk about wows. Any toothpaste company need someone for their ads! The guys perfect teeth was always on display

Honestly, 981 is the perfect affordable Porsche. Flat Six, insane stock sound, mid engine and no major problems. Just perfect
100% correct!!
Unfortunately the gts 981 has gone back up in price

Haha bingo! That would have been awesome. But quite unfair to the owner.. though he seems like a good guy and just genuinely out of words..

It's nice to see you drive completely stock-performance cars just to get an idea of what they can do right out of the box.
