991.2 Porsche 911 GTS: Still The Most Powerful Carrera!!

[@Reoniz]

Would you guys take this or the 992 C2S??

[@aaronho2793]

GTS for sure

[@Reoniz]

@@aaronho2793 can’t go wrong

[@Will-cs3yb]

GTS 100%

GTS for me, but can’t go wrong either way

[@Reoniz]

@@jstoli996c4s I agree! 100%

[@billshark3109]

The reason you are hearing the thumping noise when driving slow and turning in a parking lot is that the tires and the ground is cold. The tires are Summer Performance tires. It has nothing to do with any problem with the engineering of the car itself.

[@Reoniz]

Ya this is what I've been hearing more and more. It's still something you wouldn't experience on just any car, regardless of the above conditions being true, so while I wouldn't say it's an engineering problem per se... it is certainly a characteristic that's true more so of Porsche than most other cars.

[@mschacht69]

I had that thumping noise with my 991.1 Carrera S. On my 17 GTS, no tire thumping...running the stock Pirelli tires. Also note, the one option that is a must, is radiator grill screens...and a nice add on it is the center mounted water radiator. It come in a kit from Suncoast Porsche in FL.

[@philnleblanc6664]

I freaked out after I purchased my Porsche and heard the noise and felt it. Called the dealership immediately and they explained to me about the tires being cold and it’s a Porsche thing. Wish they would’ve warned me before taking the car home. 😂

[@oeiras99]

I have owned a 991.1 Carrera and currently a 991.2 4 GTS and confess that I learned a lot about my car from your video. Also you are the first person to mention the weird thumping that occurs in a slow-speed, tight turn, especially in the wet. Kudos.

[@mschacht69]

I was lucky enough to buy a 2017 GTS in December 2021. God Gawd do I love this car. Your review was spot on....this is my 7th Porsche that has included a 2014 GT3 and a 2015 Cayman GTS. I love this one the best. It'd been flawless except for as water put repair, done under warranty. The only car I'd replace it would be is a 991.2 Camera GTS Targa....But, I'd have to pony up $30,000 + to make the switch.

[@mschacht69]

Great review: 7 months later. still driving the car almost every day. It just keeps getting better and better.

[@philnleblanc6664]

You could also purchase a 991.2 Carrera T for much less and do a stage 1 APR tune if you’re looking to save a few dollars. There are some optional extras that come standard in a Carrera T. If you’re feeling brave you could even get the bigger turbos with a stage 3 tune and put a GT3 RS to shame and even give a GT2 a run for its money. Not a bad option if you’re not trying to spend GT kind of money.

[@2004cyrus]

Love your passion for cars Reo. This was so much fun I could have watched you enjoy this ride for another hour. Love your vocabulary too I think I heard amalgamation?! That appealed to my bookish side. I’m ready to pick my poison soon hopefully! Would be a dream come true! Until next time Reo. Peace ☮️

[@Reoniz]

I would’ve loved another hour or two in this beast as well 😎😂 always trying to add to the vocab 👌🏼

Really good video. I knew I wanted a GTS and now you've convinced me.

[@anttimustonen9214]

Good video. Going to watch some more from you, thanks

[@Reoniz]

Appreciate it and thank you!! I gotta get back to making videos (been on a couple months hiatus)

[@a.c.e.7568]

2:10 luckily I have a 7-speed GTS. Even though I have driven a PDK in a 911, I would not consider one in my personal car. Strange, I have the PCCB option on my car and I was told they would squeak but there was never a hint of them squeaking. Nice thing is they do not rust and no brake dust either.

[@aghowrath]

Love your insight..the GTS is great. Still enjoy the GT3..PEERLESS AND WILD

[@Reoniz]

Thank you! I need to try out a 6spd GT3!!

maybe you could hide an interior camera at Porsche Experience center and do a track review of the GT3. lovin these videos

[@Reoniz]

Awww man I would to do an event at PECLA, but they’re mighty expensive... I wanna say 1.5 hours with the GT3 is $1k 😰 ... soon I hope 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@barivitolo6273]

your thumping when you are slow steering is your tires. They are great sticky tires. If you change to all season it won't happen but you give up the grip.

[@Reoniz]

Ya that's what I've been hearing! I suppose it makes sense but I had never thought about it living here in SoCal

[@WheresTheAnyKey1]

my dream car. also, nice presentation

[@Reoniz]

😅 thank you!!

[@jerryeriksson1687]

Came across this channel and you did a fabulous job reviewing it. I dont like just hearing great car, great blah blah so well done. As for the 100k question, I went with the Porsche GTS over a Nissan GTR. For me it was price vs quality. GTR is quicker but the price they hold today is too high and many examples have either been tuned or badly treated whereas the Porsche caters to a different crowd/age and are lower mileage and better looked after, in my opinion. Would love to see a video comparing the two (similar year and spec)

[@albertofourie3294]

Great insightful and balanced review! Will most certainly help me make the right decision between choosing either a 991.2 GT3 or GTS.

[@Reoniz]

Thank you! The right decision is the GT3 😅😂

[@albertofourie3294]

@@Reoniz My initial choice but then heard that the GT3 is uncomfortably load!

@@albertofourie3294 not too bad stock! But yes, the GTS is of course more "daily-able"

Hahahaha you got me good 😂😂

[@maxp3764]

Some nitpicks, sorry lol. that’s not aerokit - every 991 carrera has the “retractable duck tail” by default. aerokit is a fixed wing that they bolt on over the sport design ducktail - another spoiler option which is non-retractable. The 911 Turbo is a daily driver and is comfy, it’s just in the “supercar” line of 911s along with the GT2RS, where as the Carrera/GT3 are more of a “sports car” line.

[@Reoniz]

No reason to apologize for your nitpicks. Although I got some rebuttals for you!! Of course I know that all 911’s have the retractable spoiler standard, but if you look closely this one has a slight ducktail lip at the end of it, where the standard ones (found on my review of a base 991.2) don’t. I’ve even seen GTS out in the wild without this slight lip, and I wasn’t able to find out what the exact name is. So you’re right that it’s not the aerokit, but I’m not sure why some 991.2 have this and some don’t 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️ I kinda tend to agree with the idea you mention here in the second part... but I gotta make an argument for the GTS!! I’m obviously you could daily a 918, but what’s the point of a base Carrera then?! It can’t only be about dollar amounts. Hahah But I appreciate your comment! Thank u

[@thegrmcrckr488]

@@Reoniz .......Its the sportdesign rear spoiler. Its not the aerokit package. Aerokit packages don't always have a wing. Its a design thing. The 992 has an aerokit that has the rear wing and without the rear wing.

[@boxstar3d554]

@@Reoniz spot on, GTS’s come standard with the sport design package but not the wing, which this one does

Great car and spec, but the wrong seats - the 14-ways are the most uncomfortable, non-sporty seats that Porsche makes and I daily drive the carbon buckets :)

[@FinesseJitt2x]

You should do a review on the e92 bmw m3 because if you really liked the gts your going to love the e92 m3

[@Reoniz]

I agree... in fact I do love the e92 M3, aside from the lack of torque low down. It's been many years, but I drove an e92 ZCP back when they were new -- it was quite the day to the day the least 😎 I'm still in the lookout for a clean example to review !!
