TheStraightPipes I would only say there is one car that might be more insane and that would be the "McLaren Senna" but that is literally a race car it looks like something that you would watch running the 24 hours of Rolex or something. and don't quote me on this but I think their first production model was just released in Europe in those slowly be putting them out because as you can guess they're only creating a limited run kind of like everything that's awesome.

[@ratmtbola]

Yeah, the Senna and the AMG Project One (whenever that comes out) might be the only cars I could see coming close to beating the GT2 RS Nurburgring lap time. Guess we'll have to wait. But those two are basically race cars with a number plate lol

[@azalru]

Tesla Roadster has 10 rocket thrusters all around it that allows it to fly.

[@toyotanerd2269]

azalru Yes and delorians fly. Lets see it in production 1st

[@dudley0826]

Just saw an agera rs in Oshawa on Friday night. Quebec plate. That is the craziest car I've ever seen. Literally you could buy 10 gt2rs for that car. That being said Porsche is my fav marque. Cool review on a crazy car.

these guys are good. I'm usually pretty immune to new car channels (too many poseurs/rich douches/wannabes - you know who I'm talking about!) but these guys are real enthusiasts who know what they're talking about and have infectious enthusiasm.

High quality footage, 2 knowledgeable guys in dialog with honest emotions and then this breathtaking GT2, what more do you expect from a very entertaining car review. A great channel - my favorite for sure!

[@tyler_magazzu]

Guys I have to say, it's so refreshing to watch these videos and see a couple of journalists who genuinely enjoy the cars for what they are. The run-of-the-mill snob reviews where every little detail is nit-picked get old after a while and you guys are a breath of fresh air. Keep up the solid work!

Congrats

[@phobeika]

TheStraightPipes yes... just had the order locked two weeks ago... I am very lucky to be able to lock one. I did not get the magnesium wheels though. I prefer the shape of the aluminum wheels in gold. Plus it’s a pain taking care of the magnesium wheels. I added the front axel lift, the fire extinguisher “your favorite “ and the track timer.

[@phobeika]

Geo Joshy thank you!

[@TheStraightPipes]

Amazing. This one had front axle lift too. Works very well, quick

Your product knowledge is 2nd to none. So many journos drive and are either impressed or express some observations but rarely note facts and figures as you 2 do. This is easily the most impressive 911 ever.

I love this review, it passes all the supercar tests, haha! The rolling shots are amazing, 12:20 and 11:26 when it sneaks up is the best! I am happy you guys get to drive these Porsches, the only thing that would make me happier is if it was me behind the wheel. :)

I am glad to see what you all thought about this car. I’ve always adored Porsche’s GT models. This is now on that list.

[@7heDuke]

Never expected Porsche to give you A FRICKING GT2 RS HOLY BAGUETTE! Awesome review guys, as always superb job 👌

[@Mustardmartin]

Porsche didn't give it to them it was private owned look at the plate and it def would have had a rollcage

It's from Porsche. Not private

[@TheTussman]

I now truly understand web content-driven marketing. Guys, your great content keeps me coming back and also opened my eyes towards Porche. And I'm sure Porche will see the results from working with you down the road. I'm not saying that TSP fans like myself can afford this car, but the seeds have been planted in our brains. For example, I win Lottomax tonight, I buy this car.

We'll buy this car too. Best car we've driven

Porsche is a brand that sneaks up on you. You grow up thinking that you like other super cars and you're not a "Porsche guy" and then one day you realize you're obsessed with them and dieing to have one because they are the best car company in the world...objectively...in your opinion. Lol

[@Labergemusic]

Man there aren't many channels where I'll watch a video to end to end but this is one of them. LOVE you guys, ya'll are a Canadian treasure :)

[@TheBornBoy]

I'm one of those people who thought all Porsche "looks the same" I've learn more and more about how to distinguish them. And I think the GT2RS is like the FINAL FORM of the 911. The shape, size, looks from any angle. Just magnificent. If ever spec one, I'd probably go with the exact spec as in the video. Look so stunning.

How many Porsches do you currently have?

Early this year we tuned it a little bit and now its running 1000whp on regular pump gas and the pull is just triple from what you get from a factory stock GT2RS, it made us felt like a normal Carrera when we drive the stock GT2RS !

[@Hardyman13]

Really cool review, developed a new found love for Porsche, and super impressed you actually swept Cliche Corner. But I call bullshit on the badge-sticker thing. Of all the ways they could save weight, I doubt a badge that weighs 200g has any bearing. I also checked why speedometers go so high: Apparently it's to make the speedometers more standardised so they don't have to create new ones for every single model, it makes cars seem more sporty, and it gives drivers psychological comfort by not feeling like they're driving at the car's ultimate performance when cruising on the highway.
