Coffee, Magnus, and a 700HP Porsche GT2 - /TUNED

Another segment from the /DRIVE+ archives.
Matt Farah tests the SharkWerks Porsche GT2, a 700HP beast of a car.

[@whiskeyactual.]

Magnus seems like such a cool guy. I just absolutely love people that came from nothing and have success stories. Those are the most down to earth.

[@johntechwriter]

Ghos7N54 Magnus is a hard-nosed businessman masquerading as a homeless person, selling old Porsches to rich assholes who vastly overpay to buy into his schtick. He is laughing all the way to the bank. More power to you, Magnus.

@@johntechwriter 1 he's a car guy and doesnt sell his cars 2 have you ever met magnus because i have a hand full of times and he's very easy to talk to, willing to give advise and tries to give people as much time as possible in a variable of scenes. plus he's also from the steel city like me so shut the fuck up nob head

Jerry Seinfeld isn't going to sue is he?

[@RickyLira]

kemicala I think he has a case and he has fuck you money to kill the Drive network

[@drive]

kemicala Parody is fair use.

[@kemicala]

/DRIVE Oh ok. Just concerned because i thought i remembered even Weird AL having legal issues with parodies.

[@ryancarey766]

kemicala Why would jerry seinfeld sue, what did /DRIVE do?

[@tkobvious]

Ryan Carey The title "Drive Hosts In Overpowered Sports Cars Getting Coffee" is parody of Seinfeld's "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee".

[@mrnoah1124]

147 in 3rd gear, I'll take it.

[@Vortex]

mrnoah1124 hell yeah man lmao what a machine!

[@3rdGenGuy]

mrnoah1124 Just means the gear spacing is really wide.

[@3rdGenGuy]

g4rr377 that's what you want for high HP cars. short ratios end up ruining the car. kinda like the C7 7 speed needing to shift every second lol

[@Necrodoxious]

SANIC that's the worst man, holy shit. I can't even express my frustration with short gearing and high HP. Argggghhhh.

[@3rdGenGuy]

Necrodox The Vette 7 speed is a horrible transmission. IDK how tremec managed to fuck it up so bad. it's impossible to hit 3rd or 5th

[@christian3448]

Matt will do 147 in traffic but won't pass a car on a double yellow

[@camirocz]

Lol.True.

[@db_auto_photography4539]

Hahahahaha

[@monikerkinakin6943]

I was once leaving a Trump Rally in the southern part of the US, I went for historical perspective more than I went to support the cause, and passed a line of cars in a double yellow. Immediately saw blue lights behind me and got pulled over. The cop asked me where I was coming from, and I said the Trump rally. The guy smiled, told me "Make America Great Again" and sent me on my way.

[@go35ffc]

Being fast isn't dangerous, being stupid is

[@letitrip5139]

You don't want to break the law on camera silly. Even the speed he bleeped out we only know how fast he was going because we read his lips

[@TheRedbullWebber]

This is fantastic, the intro, the shots with the camera car in the background, the music, the Porsche. Had a big smile on my face love it.

[@mtbrocks]

Matt, you look terrified driving that car near the limit. Very impressive work for bringing it back in one piece.

[@LaneHouse]

This is great, I really like the Comedians in Cars getting Coffee format, and I really like Seinfeld and his show, but making the subject cars instead of comedy... amazing. Thank you for continuously producing great videos Matt.

[@Findmealife]

I'm pretty sure the one shot in the beginning was ripped straight from the David Letterman episode lol

[@sharkwerks]

Good times fellas! That coffee was good too:)

[@SF_Native]

They should have edited in the video of the 277 trying to keep up with the GT2, lol

Porsche Tuner with Honda Shirt... now i´fe seen everthing xD

[@d1sturb3d119]

Dezibel´s und Turbo´s Takes real talent to understand what's special about all cars. Honda's are very special when you know what a great driving car should feel like.

[@StockiGTI]

Sorry, i dont want sound rude to Honda Drivers. I just thought thats a funny Fact. :-)

[@d1sturb3d119]

Dezibel´s und Turbo´s no worries. It wasn't rude. Alex seems like a chill guy who doesn't give a crap about sterotypes and likes cars for what they are.

[@StockiGTI]

Absolutly...

[@marcnobel3938]

Dezibel´s und Turbo´s Lot of people like Honda and Porsche here too. Or way round. I think both brands have cool history and good engineering in terms of engines and sportcars.

[@Jmanmadness23]

Your shows keep getting better and better. Thank you guys for such great content!

[@DNAManufacturing]

The GT2 will always continue to be my favorite Porsche. It's the perfect blend of Turbo and GT3, with a dash of insanity.

[@carswithluke]

Really enjoyed this one, great editing also.

[@michaelbonade4667]

Oh the turbo spooling noise ....magnificent....when Matt is talking and driving 4:00 min in and onward ....it's so clearly audible...whooosh!...he's on the gas....

[@closedaccount902]

Magnus is totally righteous isn't he. Very cool video Matt, I totally dig your work.

[@stevevandervorst6641]

how cool would it be to talk cars with magnus, just one afternoon. bucketlist for me

[@marcodeuce9605]

9:56=priceless LMAO. You know you're in an amazing machine when it takes you completely out of your zone and makes you giggle like a little girl.

[@CrzyMav]

Magnus, I truly love your story and how much u love Porches. I myself love these cars and worked on them at a shop called RPS Automotive located in West Los Angeles, Ca. It was one of my best experiences ever and being trained on how to work on these machines by Mr, Rick Norris, himself, it was the best times of my life. Would love to someday meet you and take a tour in your shop. Too me a Porche is a true Race car for the street...

[@davidisaac4187]

I know I'm late here, but the smile on Matts face! Makes me want one!

[@stevefowler2112]

I am the new (3 weeks) owner of a 997.1 TT and have already scheduled a rather big set of performance upgrades for mid October to include: Kline headers, Europipe Stage 2 exhaust, Fabspeed carbon fiber Competition Air Intake, IPD Y pipe/82mm plenum/82mm GT3 Throttle body/EVOMS throttle body seal kit, EVOMS Turbo inlet pipes, By Design intercoolers, and Garrett GT28 or GT30 ball bearing water/oil cooled Turbos (sold as Tial Alpha 28/30 Turbos). I have a manual transmission so will also be doing a Sachs racing sports clutch upgrade. Also lowering the car with H&R springs and installing 993RS motor mount upgrade kit. My target is a modest 700 HP at the crank....so around 615-620 at the wheels. Can't wait, should make my P car quite the blast to drive..

[@ItsMeKarey]

Great video so loving it . Keep it coming

[@poupard1963]

[@TheGetawayer]

Best Farrah Review ever ! Thanks for this amazing video, Matt !

[@stevefowler2112]

I own a 2007 911 Turbo (23K miles)...480 BHP from the factory (Though it seems like more), but she is in the shop right now (AutoQuest MotorSports Ft. Myers, Fl.) getting a long list of engine and cosmetic and handling upgrades. I should have her back by November 1st. 775 BHP (700 WHP). Mine is also a manual transmission. Of course as a Turbo it is AWD, but she should be quite the best regardless...I can't wait.

[@jhaze918]

4:38 there is no coffee in that cup lmao

[@sm1ttygaming]

After all the Farah videos i've watched, I still laugh at his "I just scared myself a little" giggle. 9:50

[@davaughnwiles9800]

It sounds absolutely heavenly

[@Colyers]

Gave the video a like just from the title! All of my favorite things are in this. Awesome.

[@Armixs]

800 or 700hp?

[@shaft9000]

Armixs preferably whp on a trusty dyno

[@camarowland4]

Armixs if it has 800, it also has 700

[@VoraciousPhantasma]

camarowland4 Can't argue with that logic.

[@mitch9894]

800 at the crank but 700 at the wheels. You loose some power before it actually makes it to the wheels

[@sik59rt]

There's no way there's only a 100hp loss via the drivetrain

[@Zepherian]

Here on Madeira Island (google it) the most outlandish car I have ever seen is a Porsche GT2 RS. A couple of lambos here, some ferraris, lots of porsche and other assorted sports car, but that white porsche with black bonnet is the most insane car I've seen. If it had the sharkworks tune I'm pretty sure it would be cartwheeling down a 3000ft ravine.

[@obfuscator]

Great idea and execution as always. I see Alex is paying tribute to Honda too - still rocking his NSX I suppose. Good stuff

[@mojostevo]

Awesome, TST Fiesta as the camera car.

love that car seen it on jay's garage , the more i see it the more i want it! thanks great vid.

[@giannski]

This channel is so awesome. Really, good job.

[@justaddafan]

Depending on the carbon fiber used, it's thermal conductivity is at least 3x that of steel in-plane. So CF will dissipate heat much better than a steel panel. Out of plane (in the thin direction), conductivity is low, but that's not the driving factor in the dissipation of heat from polishing.

[@Hapkido82AUS]

This car makes perfect sense on fast, flowing race tracks. And that's about it. I still love it though...

[@CoastalTides]

Clean yo dirty ass lenses. Great video, loved the "comedians in cars, getting coffee" thing you did there.

[@mohamedrenno80]
