The Best Sports Car In The World - Porsche 911 S/T

[@EngineeringExplained]

Thank y'all for joining my last video of the year! I also appreciate Jason joining in, and all the kind words y'all have shared regarding 2J1C on the previous Lucid episode. Jason is a busy dude, but when we can manage to get on similar press launches, I'm happy to try and get a few more of these style videos in. Happy New Year to all - let's do this 2024!!

The range and depth of Cammisas car knowledge is extremely impressive. From manifold resonance to NHTSA tests, he has a good understanding of very obscure issues.

[@rideepicdriveepic]

I discovered nerdy Jason about 7 years ago. I discovered the cool Jason about 2 years ago. Seeing them together is just a gift that keeps on giving. 2J1C is a great format!

[@aaronschen9896]

Both jasons are 100% full nerd, which i consider high praise

[@griffins750]

Wait… Which is which? They’re both nerdy (and cool) just in different ways.

[@remander3873]

I love how Jason was repeatedly looking at the driver's side, salivating, because he wanted so badly to be the one driving, lol! Truly an amazing, if unobtainable, piece of engineering.

[@EngineeringExplained]

We both drove for fun for about 30 mins each, before starting the cameras to give our impressions. But once the cameras were off, yeah, we both wanted back in the driver's seat!

[@deXXXXter2]

This is so funny, I was sure he's gonna interrupt other Jason and make some comments about wasting such a good road or revs beeing to low ;dd

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@deXXXXter2very funny but also very cool all the same.

[@vigunfighter]

It would have been less jarring if Camissa did half of the driving.

[@ZackNakazora1]

30 seconds in and I'm laughing. This is exactly what Jason brought up in the I'm sorry podcast with Matt last week. As car enthusiasts and car entertainment. We are not in competition with each other. We are here for the benefit of the viewer. I love these crossovers James is a national treasure! 😂😂

[@EngineeringExplained]

Hahaha, James is amazing - thanks for joining in to watch!

Camissa really plays off of you so well, this is probably the best format you've ever had on your channel. He gives a voice to your audience, contributing both educational and entertainment value.

[@EngineeringExplained]

He's very good at balancing the social aspect of a channel, rather than focusing purely on engineering. I agree, a great addition for a car review!

Wow. This particular video, is the exact essence of what you described this car to be. You guys are funny, and work so well together, mostly, though…I absolutely need the engineering aspect, I can only watch so many “car reviews” before my brain turns to apple sauce. So you’ve hit that sweet spot. And seeing as that Jason is my all time favorite, I don’t know what more I could ask for…uh maybe film it in Canada?

I watch a LOT of automotive YTers, and this was genuinely one of (possibly THE) most enjoyable, fun, engaging rerviews I've ever watched! Tha said, what a shame more people can't experience the 911 S/T firsthand.

[@braddevendorf9901]

With a starting price of $290k, no wonder people can't experience this car. Hey the regular plain jane 911 starts at just $115k. I used to own an older 911 when they were affordable; not any more. That is why I'll stick with my 2023 Camaro ZL1. Lot's of bang for the buck.

[@jcos55chev19]

It's fun just watching both of you smile every time Jason gooses the throttle and you feel that instant RPM.

[@amirviola71]

The dual camera perspective makes this even better. Nice scenery too . The S/T is unbelievable , and I know this has been said and turned out false numerous times already but it might be the last manual NA "lightweight" high rev 911... Until they best it again. (I mean, would it be a problem to make a logical gearing and not sell it in cali ? Just make the best car you can and ignore the naysayers :P)

[@MarkLRandall]

Wow, congrats! You must be a Porsche regular customer? I can't afford an S/T, but a GT3 may be possible, except they're unobtainable as well. A dealer told me a couple weeks ago ANY 911 is a 4+ year wait. I find that hard to fathom, perhaps he was joking?

Congrats and wish you all the best with it! What spec did you do?

[@Porsche311]

⁠@@MarkLRandall. Yes regular customer. It’s strange because before Covid hit you could go to any Porsches dealer and find 911s on the lot. For some reason once Covid started everyone wanted a 911.

[@2688elmo]

14:35 100% agree about the Miata point. A good sports car is enjoyable at any speed. Cammisa said in the Hagerty Icons Nissan Z video the Miata is the most fun you can have in any new car so he genuinely agrees with Fenske. That was prior to S/T's release, but the view about Miata being a fun car is still valid. 25:50 love the remark about rear wheel steer making you feel disconnected. Just good old fashioned honesty.

[@beartrapkid]

never driven a porsche but i had a mitsubishi mirage (900kg) with a 6a12 2.0l v6 MIVEC engine from a mitsubishi FTO GPX one of the smallest v6 ever made, did have lightweight flywheel but it revved nearly as fast as this in mivec, above 5200rpm and revved to 9k (mitsubishi vtec) the rotating mass of the engine was so insanly light but had factory high compression and 4.7 final drive gearing from factory, such a cool engine, would love you to take a closer look!

A GT3 Touring is just as good, unless you really love unnecessary NVH. Imagine being stopped at a light and hearing your rattling flywheel and having to explain to people, "no, no, that's normal, it's got a lightweight....." And the person looks at you like you're insane, because you are. Maybe if you explained it in Jason's German accent it would seem normal. 😅

[@ordinaryjoe2247]

A "relatively" lightweight car, that's responsive, makes all the right glorious noises, and feels like an extension of your body. This is what Porsches used to be! Welcome back, old friend. But, since they're pretty much unobtainable, I'll have to stick with my '72.

Great stuff, I want one! I really appreciate Jason 1 (mostly) holding both hands on the steering wheel in the correct 9 to 3 position and 99% of the time looking forward to the road ahead. Naturally aspirated is the key. I own three Porsches and a Ferrari Scuderia, have sadly not driven the S/T, but I would bet that the Scuderia is even better than the S/T as a daily driver. Everything with the Scuderia is perfect, the noise, the steering, the totally analogue interier and that magic robotised gearbox. All tuned by Michael Schumacher.

[@paulrandolph8469]

I raced superbikes and I LOVE the intensity of the (wo)man-machine interface. It's so much more personal and complex than any other motorized vehicle. My R1 had 165 hp at 410 lbs!! I had a near-stock Suzuki GSX-R750 that would do 0-60 mph in 3.2 sec. Therefore, the 911 S/T is the car for me. (Pause while I look up the sticker price....)

[@ashman0071]

You two have chemistry - great post. May I direct your viewers to Chris Harris' comparison review of the Aston Martin Vantage S with the 911R, and his comparison review of the 911R with an old Peugeot Rallye. Jeremy Clarkson's Top Gear review of the 997.1 Carrera S is also very special to me. Once one kneels at the Alter that is naturally aspirated, manual 911 - their car crusade is complete .

[@fwebe2871]

I have to say, i don't like shorter gearing. I would be perfectly fine with this car reaching 100 km/h in first gear, so you don't have to shift for most use cases. Don't having to shift improves the aspect of a connected driving experience, as you only have to use the throttle to accelerate the car, similar to electric cars. For most road cars i prefer 100 km/h in second, and 50 km/h in first, with first just beeing used for starting off or pulling loads. Especially if you have more than enough power, shorter gearing shifts the whole system towards the traction limit, which usually is no fun to be at on public roads. I like to compare this to motorcycles, which often enough are capable of reaching even higher speeds in first gear and no one complains about it. On top you get more gears to fit for noise and fuel reduction at different speeds, which is a benefit as well.

[@jmckittrick1]

Fantastic car/review a side that was probably the best conversation between 2 car journalists (or whatever title the Jason's have today) of the year. Informative, entertaining, text corrections to mistakes or unknowns. Just great. 👏

[@EngineeringExplained]

Really appreciate it! I can't speak for Jason, but I do not consider myself a journalist (content creator, automotive media, car KZbinr all apply). Journalists generally have separation between themselves and the ad/sales portion of their businesses (MotorTrend, Car and Driver, etc). Since I'm a one man show, I do all the tasks, which blurs the ethical lines of journalism, hence why I say I'm not. But we all have our biases, I try and keep things as objective as possible - subjectivity is where you have to be careful, easiest to simply avoid!
