@@apolloandratti7922I drove both and own a 981 GTS. I’d say in terms of driving dynamics, the 718 4.0 is slightly better across the board, but not nearly enough to justify the price difference. For me the biggest let down was the sound of the 718 GTS 4.0 compared to the sublime auditory delight of the 981 GTS. Every drive in the 981 feels like a proper occasion.
Pretty cool concept, subscribed! You should head up to the PNW, so much there. Why does it have to be double yellow? If its not forested or super twisty you can see pretty far ahead on some roads
Welcome aboard! Good to have you. As for the double yellow rule - we sometimes break it - but since we take most of the roads without scouting - it mostly has to do with safety. You are right about the PNW - what are some of your favorites? We will add them to the map associated with the Channel if they aren’t already!
More shifting for sure with a PDK on this road. Check this one for more shifts with the manual ruclips.net/video/2ynCQS0M9lA/видео.htmlsi=NAe36_fgQ0AjgTVh
I will always counter the 2.7 sounds better the same horsepower per liter with less literage will always sounds better given other factors stay the same
@@salami99 it does good - agree. However - I do like the deeper tone you get from the S. Maybe a case of personal preference since I don’t think there is a bad choice to make between the two cayman variants.
@@trueview3127 true, i prefer the higher pitch that comes with a higher stressed engine, thinking like Formula One or like motorcycles with four cylinders 20krpm imo the 2.7 is more like
@@trueview3127 it's ok, the 982 came later as a return to form after the 981 disaster (maybe the gt4 redeemed it before 982, still haven't tried it), I'm guessing the juvenile burbles can be tuned out, it's not as bad with the exhaust switched anyway.
This channel is one of the most legendary things ever put on the internet. 🏎🔥💨💨
Well that is quite the compliment! Thanks
Totally agree with you on this one. I have a 4L CGTS and I miss my old 981S PSE's pops and crackles.
They're both manual transmissions of course...
Add headers and then you really are in heaven.
Of course! Well done
Putting exhaust sound aside, do you think the 718 4.0 GTS is a better drivers car, including steering, handing, suspension?

A couple videos going over your cars and what’s been done to them would be sick!
Great call - we have that on our to do list!
Music to my ears!
The perfect song for a mountain road!
I could have bought a 718 base, but the sound is too much to ignore on the 981S! Best decision ive ever made!😂
Great car - personally love the sound.
This 981 Cayman S is a musical instrument on wheels . . . . Tight road as well. Would love to hear some more shifting! Other videos?

Outside of the 981 GT4/spyder that title is 100% true! (that being said there are only a handful of both under $100k)
Good point - but you beat me to it since I was going to say - send a sub $100k listing for the 981 GT4 and there could be a new bidder from TrueView!
If you ever want to venture up into MD or PA, I would love to meet up! I know some great roads in PA.
Sounds good! Shoot us an email to get on our list for any future group rides. Trueviewdriving@gmail.com
What kind of radar detector do you use?
The one is the video is an older escort detector I believe. The most effective thing though is to run Waze and to be observant and safe . . .
Second gear nirvana!
For sure - check this for more shifting - Same car - ruclips.net/video/2ynCQS0M9lA/видео.htmlsi=gnn3BQPPs069WIF3
PDK with shorter gears would have been even more musical
More shifting for sure with a PDK on this road. Check this one for more shifts with the manual ruclips.net/video/2ynCQS0M9lA/видео.htmlsi=NAe36_fgQ0AjgTVh
this or gts 4.0？
The GTS 4.0 sounds good - but is also above $100k when new. The 981 S is really a musical instrument on wheels!
@@trueview3127 got ya
981 gt4/spyder if you can find one. Otherwise just get an S
I will always counter the 2.7 sounds better the same horsepower per liter with less literage will always sounds better given other factors stay the same

Would you guys be interested in doing a collaboration video? I have a BMW G80 M3 manual
Great car - we are considering future group drives. If interested- email us on trueviewdriving@gmail.com
981 gts sounds better !!!!
Perhaps we can have you along for a “sound off” - assume you have or have driven a GTS?
@@trueview3127 I have driven a S and own a GTS => GTS in sport + is a blast with a different exhaust comapred to the S ;)
Would love to hear that comparison!
The 981 S and GTS are the same engine…and it is spectacular.
This sounds absolutely offensively disturbingly disgusting unless someone is really into nasty burbles. One of the worst noises at any price point.
Doesn’t seem like it would be for you then - and now you know! Appreciate that you watched and commented - Stay safe out there.

That seems a bit dramatic😂 The pops and burbles are only present in Sport or Sport+, otherwise the burbles and pops are nearly non existent.
@@purplejuice476 yeah, I just use the exhaust button to keep it less nasty when I drive my friend's 981 GTS 🙃
