Porsche, if they want to survive they could build something fun that is attainable. You can tell me to get a base 714.. I’ll tell you I’ll drive a Miata like it’s a Porsche and forget about it.

[@tyler9703]

14:50 I would actually argue that you don't have to buy a 911 S/T to get this kind of experience, because a new ND Miata at 2,300 LBS offers a very similar drive to this car. Extremely light weight, a revvy NA engine, soft suspension, little sound deadening and a fantastic manual gearbox. But apart from that, this really is it. What a glorious machine.

[@AI-qd4vb]

Bro, thats like comparing me to Brad Pitt cause were both made of meat... You wont get this kind of out of a Miata, period. You dont get the precision, the feel, the raw power and responsiveness, the sound, etc... of this 911 in a cheapo, fragile steel and aluminum bodied roadster powered by an anemic straight 4 pot.

[@ShaiyanHossain]

@@AI-qd4vb but you do get something that costs less than the adm of a gt3, let alone the car itself, and unlike a gt3, you can rev out 4th and NOT need to face jail time ;) or you can get a similar formula in a c6 z06, with actual power (500hp) and still have $300k left over

[@tyler9703]

@@AI-qd4vb I can guarantee you haven't actually driven an ND if you call the engine "anemic" or the chassis "fragile". There's very little cowl shake to speak of, only over rough train tracks, and the engine is a wonderfully responsive unit with throttle response like a motorbike, and revs that drop the instant you go for an upshift. It is true the Miata is not a laser-precise machine, but if you watch the S/T review again, neither is that in comparison to the GT3. If you actually boil down what makes the 911 S/T special, the Miata offers pretty much the same kind of experience minus the horsepower, but even then the power it has is enough for someone that doesn't care about the number on the dash, rather how the car actually feels to rev out. For a tenth of the price, that's pretty damn impressive.

[@vipermoon_]

@@tyler9703 What you said. The catch the revs minigame, you play the same one in an ND. Single mass flywheel response? That's ND1. I can shake the car with even the quickest kicks of the throttle the exact same way James showed. And James knows this but nobody wants to hear him talk about Miatas in this review. This isn't to say the 911 S/T isn't my favorite sports car....because it is 100%%

[@xtnuser5338]

@@AI-qd4vbOf course you can't get the same performance numbers out of a Miata. But you can get some of that FEEL of driving. It's got the right formula, only applied on 1/12th of the budget. 5.000 dollars isn't as much as 60,000 dollars...but it's made from the same paper and equally as green.

This 10 year old Cayman S with upholstery damage, fender damage and PPF needing to be replaced was $45k. They had candy colored almost new 911 turbo S's in the showroom for $299k and $280 respectively, for used sub-1000 mile cars. Umm Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin... I'll take a Z06 for almost 1/3rd the cost or a Lotus Emira for 1/3rd, F-Type R, SL 63AMG... Too many drink the Porsche Kool-Aid.

[@ezcatch77]

Great review but you missed the point of the steering feel. The issue with the quick steering of the GT3 and 3RS is on compound turns many have spun because the rear cannot catch up to the quickness of the front. In fact, in those cars, best results are achieved by slowing down your hands. This ST, on the other hand, feels natural. It feels like the best version of steering Porsche has produced. I did NOT miss the quick steering feel of the rear wheel steer available on the other GT cars. The ST is a car that asks for more the more you push it. The steering has NOT been dulled down. The feel is AMAAAZING!!! What they’ve done is slow it down compared to the all wheel steer GT cars but it is PERFECTLY in tune with its chassis. This is an important distinction. Dull implies lack of feel and the ST steering is one of the best I have felt in 30 years. Slowed it down a bit, yes. With GREAT results. Dulled it down? Not in the least bit. All in all, fun vid to watch👍

If you want to pass modern safety standards, and hit Porsche's performance _and_ reliability standards, and _not_ cost millions of dollars like a GMA T.50... You end up weighing around 3000 pounds.

That introduction was perfection 👌 its really shown porsche losing their customers and sales due to lack of engineers and factory workers to make enough cars....kinda defeats the purpose having a rat race "waiting list" for just the stupidly rich.

[@johnheath8882]

Shortages are intentional to spike demand and, in turn, profits. This is the current business model everywhere because it works

[@Fluterra]

Great intro! I 100% agree. What a disaster and shame VW owned Porsche has become. As someone lucky enough to be able to afford one, I will not indulge Porsche in their artificial supply restrictions for their nice models. I will not buy 10 Macans to be able to “Hopefully” get an “allocation” for a high spec 911. The base 992 is a bore. There is no reason why the GT3, etc should be limited - they can make any spec 911 that goes down the line.

[@myronnadarajah5536]

Fellow Canadians! I love your channel and keep coming back for more. Keep it up gentlemen, and hats off to the video and editing team as well! 🎉

[@SlowMoe462]

Well done guys. Considering how late to the party you guys are as one of the larger channels on getting this car, you crushed it. Some of the shots in this vid were so cinematic and beautiful. Clearly you guys continue to step up your quality and it shows.

[@silv3rArrow]

4:58 spinning in 2nd gear that close to the redline...nice

[@geetarthneo]

Thank you Porsche for keeping the spirit alive.

[@TheBajamin]

Lol yeah. The limited to only those who buy 50 other Porsches so they can trade it amongst themselves for 4x sticker. So glad we all get cars like this.

[@moldytexas]

this might just be the best intro you guys have ever made, hands down.

[@Krazy_Shorts]

It's definitely good....but the all time greatest intro was the Prius episode! I watch it every few months just to laugh again.

[@MrGabrism]

Seriously my favorite presenters since the original Top Gear. keep it up!

[@dainaampy]

Hands down the best, most comprehensive introduction to Tesla vehicles that I’ve seen. This is an incredible resource for new owners and has a lot of value for renters as well. Thanks for creating it!

[@Marz26]

11:09 "this is like feeding a gremlin after midnight, so naughty." WHAT Haha

[@drewman5898]

911 review! let's go!

[@costafilh0]

Twisted nipples GT3! That's a perfect analogy for the S/T!

[@dBsdecibels]

Thomas' conclusion is 100% accurate, and why I bought a 991.1 C2 coupe manual. If they won't make what I want, can afford, and can actually purchase easily, then I'll go used.

[@volleyskate]

Thomas' comments about stripping it down further sounds like what Chevy did with the Camaro Z28 where you could do radio and AC delete. Big power, manual, stripped down. As always, awesome video and production. Regardless of the car, when I see a TH video, I watch it

[@th3b0yg]

Wait! Just wait a second! 3,000 lbs is light?!? Because if that's true then my wife's Camry is within spitting distance of being light.

[@AbandonedRaven]

Haven’t even watched the whole video yet but I love these 992 Porsches so much. Especially the GT3 Touring and S/T.

[@EvoraGT430]

Too big.

[@AbandonedRaven]

@@EvoraGT430 They are wide, especially when compared with an old 911, but I still love them regardless. They just look so good in person and are surprisingly high off the ground compared to other sports cars in this range/are more expensive. Slightly lower than a regular new 911, but still you get the idea.

[@agabaire]

The acting is Netflix level

[@raymonheath1436]

Congratulations boys, you are thhe only reviewers who manage to drive fast and stay on your own side of the road, i live in the pyrenees southern france and love to drive on the mountain roads in my cars, i am sick of the prats in their noisy cars coming around every bend on my side of the road.

[@emperoroflaw]

Porsche makes amazing cars and 911 is true masterpiece by german brand

[@krabo83]

that intro was just brilliant! :D

[@SzymonSzykonski]

The Intro is World class😂

[@rasmus.tjansson]

Intro ON POINT!

[@mazer327]

Very excited for mine to arrive in a little bit. Glad to see you all like it so much! Don't worry, mine won't live in a garage. It'll get driven - like it was meant to be. Thanks for the early preview!

[@Majky133]

That downshift at 13:12 made me feel something i didn't know i can feel.

[@thecake6635]

In a world of EV silence, the 911 S/T being that loud is so welcome

[@airbagsagain]

Ev’s can be pretty loud from the beeps and the tire noise. But they’ll never be able to make music like this.
