A Porsche-owner here. Never driven a McClaren. They look beautiful but having driven all kinds of 911’s, they are just the best package and have everything you could want in a car. Your car is my kind of “boring!” Cheers!

[@budbud2509]

I had an interesting experience with a Porsche dealer , actually the UK importer I had just come from a Lotus Exige and was thinking of trying a GT3 , after all Ive never read a bad road test . He asked what cars were on my list , and that was another more powerful Exige or the GT3. Now what he said amazed me, he said coming from the Lotus u will find the GT3 fat and lazy , u will hate it (???????) so I asked what he would recommend , he said the best drivers car was the Cayman S , I borrowed one for a day , and enjoyed it but when it came to putting money down I got a second Exige . Unusual experience and Ive still not driven a GT3 !

[@hammmodjabeer7278]

In Dubai, the weather is very hot. Cars such as Lamborghini, Ferrari and McLaren suffer from many problems and their prices go down a lot after two years of use. As for the Porsche 911, you use it every day without problems and it maintains its price, and sometimes the price increases.

[@kizzagt]

Nice to finally hear your comparison between the 992 turbo S vs the 720S

[@rpgco.754]

I Got an older 911 T/S last year, and my networking/rally group is filled with 720's, lambos (Hurr, Aventador, etc), GT3's (some RS's) BMW M5 comps do well. No mods on mine yet, but I can smoke ,most stock lambos, and in the twistys, esp mountain roads, the Porsches really shine, it's freaky-good. and for me, and and a lot of us, the turns are where the fun is. In rallys over 50 cars, we find that half, or more, are Porsches. Some people mod turbos, exhaust, methanol injection, and get really great sound and extra HP/speed, but I'm going for more stability and traction first. (springs, sway bars, spacers, slightly lower, and air diffusion). You can't beat the comfort level in the T/S, seats, A/C, some noise reduction. a lot of the other cars are punishing over long drives. People have moved from Lambo, and GT3 RS's to the T/S. A lot of conversations now about how 720's are coming into a good price range now since they are being (are?) discontinued for 765 (I think). The comfort in the 720's is ok and you can fit if you're 6'4" (unlike Lambos). Maintenance wise, no contest: Porsche. Ferrari's sit in garages. Rarely do the owners drive them, esp to the limits as on some certain rallys. Hell of a hobby and way to build business connections.

Nice review, Richard. As a proud owner of a 911 4S (992), I'm very happy to confirm my next upgrade.

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

Backseats are very useful, we’ve got (3) 911 cars in my family/siblings and we always talk about how we use the back seats and how glad we are to have them. Also, there is a diffuser under the car, take your jack and jack the car up and take a look, it can’t be as visible from the back, because the engine is there

[@_andre007]

Yeah they look not that small, I’d definitely reckon they’re useful

The only problem I have with Mclarens is the gas millage especially in summer using ac/gas will drain the millage so if your destination is 15 miles the gas will use about 20-25 miles

[@kirkw9304]

Rich, the tire temp is displayed to the right of the tach. You can toggle through the screen using the rotary push button on the steering wheel. "Vehicle general" is displaying now.I believe it is the next screen. Tubi X-pipes on the exhaust will solve your sound issue and you don't have to mess with cats etc.

This was the exact video I was looking for, but not for the reason you think. I wanted in-depth, real world driving from someone that has done long road trips in a 992T. Having it compared to a McLaren is just icing on the cake, but I really came to hear you speak about the 992, and I'm impressed. I'm planning to buy one and take the ALCAN to Alaska, so it's almost a bonus you're Canadian LOL! MPG is a major factor for me and the research I've done, you can really hypermile this (28 - 30mpg), but more importantly, if you're running those "rips" and still getting good MPG's, then the reality is mixed MPG is still phenomenal for what it is. I appreciate this video. Instant subscribe.

I know a lot of guys don't agree with me, but the 911 Turbo S is just something else. Design, performance, technology, value for money, reliability, versatility, and overall quality are just so much better than the McLaren. German quality always beats British quality. And last but not least, we all love a fat ass, don't we? 😜

[@swayp5715]

Spot on dude

[@jamesballard6564]

Being a car nut myself I really enjoyed this video. I remember when you first bought this car and briefly talked about it. I was the one who mentioned the likely range increase due to the new 8 speed PDK. I'm a former truck driver so range is important to me. As for the tire pressure sensor 0 to 100 I'm guessing percentage? That would make me nervous on a hot day running soft compound meat. My sedan with 40 series tires static psi is 37 but can get up to 41 on hot days. Again, awesome video. Much thanks!

[@rpgco.754]

Important stuff! lots of google searches on last rally about tire pressure. Temp variation and altitude over 8k ft. my BF with highly modded 911 t/s felt squishy in the back end. Over 170mph it felt to loose, turns at 2-3x speed rating not comfortable. But over-tuned and pushing 800 wheel hp on a a T/S is wild. (sound is AMAZING, snap-crackle-pop, and the hisssss of the blowout valves....wow!). We're prob switching to cup2 from M. pilot super sports. I am now skill-limited. time for racing school. Range....meh....rally is limited by the thirsty....v12s and redonkulous vette's and stock racers. we usually stop as a group. (fun when 40+ super cars roll in to a rural gas station, kids, cameras, etc.). I get 290 mi normal driving and 200 mi hammer-down.

[@lousogoodx]

Love the analysis! Unfortunately I still thought the seats in the 911 turbo s were still uncomfortable. 2022 M3 with standard seats is the sweet spot for me. Tuned to 630hp it still fits the bill and flies under the radar. ❤️ It!

Really enjoyed your review. I had a 992 4S and had similar issues that you spoke about. I’ve now had 2 Mclarens a 2021 GT and now an Artura and I do think that both drive better than the 992. You said so many that resonated with me as the 992 is a more subtle car which I miss. Where ever I go in my Mclaren, it gets noticed. But I do love the McLaren more from a daily driving perspective. Great review

[@challengerjetdriver]

2023, 992 TurboS owner here as well. You are right spec it with a lot of carbon fiber and you would be satisfied 👍 I think Android support is on it now. # 2 agree, 7 is true. I think your spec though a great car your interior trim could have been spec’d with a bit more luxury. #10 is 100% true I have noises that are not normal and battling to have fixed.

[@louiep19]

Great video. I also have a 992 turbo S and I do agree with some of your dislikes regarding the door quality and the lack of exterior carbon. Disagree (my opinion): I did spec mine with interior carbon, I actually like the start/stop switch and ride, love the interior trim, my dealer is amazing and have had no issues (car is only 3 months old). The complex gauge is a pain, but there is an option to minimize the screens which is very helpful. I love this car and will put lots of miles on it. Love your videos, thanks.

[@jamess200]

Had both - the 720 is much more of an event to drive , although never had any reliability issues it was never far from my mind. No such reliability concerns with the 992 although its a numb experience in comparison . Did a road trip / weekend away in the 720S and managed to pack it out just about but comfort definitely became an issue towards the end . The infotainment is a shocker aswell . Do find myself looking at turbos again though for some reason 🤦‍♂️😂

[@vladgradinariu30]

Excellent job, your opinion is spot on on almost everything 👍

[@rickvesny5541]

Fantastic video. The reason pre-996 911s sounded and felt like a vault door when closing is because they all had solid window frames. I don't care how much weight they added, I would pay to get them back optionally, on my 911s. Seriously, you could hear and clearly identify without looking, a pre-996 door slamming a block away. No other car sounded like an earlier 911 door closing. A solid "clink" with zero reverberation or rattle. Like closing the hatch on a Seawolf submarine... Unfortunately, I don't believe any current cars are made with solid window frames anymore...

[@JC-gw3yo]

The left side ignition key is in respect to the Fords GT 40 days... Ha.. But I loved when Ford ran their ignition switches on the left. Hitting the ignition with you left hand while grabbing the shifter with your right hand. More of a feeling of control

[@RandyJM21]

Note: speaking to his review . Porsches like this are the highest markup for a mass produced car . 911s have like a 100% mark up and could be sold for 1/2 price and make same money by selling tons off them but porsche gets huge money overcharging which IS a better biz model . I heard a porsche marketing executive speak to why porsches although being high performance are priced so high for mass produced cars as noted hear . He basically said porsche owners enjoy the snob appeal that overpricing brings as well as the boring aspect mentions that appeals to those not wanting to be too peacockish .

I daily drive a 992 turbo S that I ordered and have close to 10k miles on it now in the US. I agree with all your points but with 1 correction and 2 other points. There is Android Auto (unless it's a '21 model year, I don't know. Mine is a '22). I used to have to plug in my phone to get Android Auto but now I got a new phone it somehow works wireless so that's cool. I got an Akrapovic exhaust on my car and it sounds very mean when you get on it and idle is also much better. Last thing, I like the fake key on the left side which porsche is now getting rid of :)

Good points on your review. I traded my 991.2 turbo s cab last year. I enjoyed it for over 30k miles with rallies etc. Mine had the aero pack but I found the downforce lacking at over 135. A heavy suitcase in the front trunk was a decent remedy but I never liked the feeling of the front end at high speeds even on long sweeping turns. But again not everyone goes over 135.

911 gauges were all visible from 1999 until the 992 gen that brought back classic horizontal interior layout and blocking gauges. Doors great in 1998 w 993, modern era liquid cooled 1999 996 door close sound is weak, had hoped they’d made it solid (apparently not) since then. Carbon fiber only important to reduce weight in real areas, for interior style I’d rather have wood. My GSF has carbon fiber for interior decor (snooze). Flat six motors sound best when NOT turbo. With 991.2 they all became turbo and the extra plumbing muffles engine sounds, and no, exhaust cannot replace intake and other engine sounds. Back seat has been very usable with my two kids throughout elementary and now for middle n high school, although convertible makes back seat usable w top down for those taller in a way a coupe or Targa cannot. Oh and the sounds with top down!! McLaren service I am impressed to hear. LOVE to hear from owners who really drive them on vigorous tours.

[@tornatic1983]

No tire temp and android auto on 992 Turbo S surprises me. The '15 supercharged C7 Stingray had it, my '14 F10 M5 has it. My '17 F Type R doesn't have tire temp, heads up display or cooled seats

[@willhurst]

Agree on many of these (as a GT3 owner). Based on several of your hates, you’d be happier in a GT3 Touring or 911 Sport Classic, than a turbo. Both those cars are made to solve those problems and are perfect cars for rally’s. The Turbo is not the lightweight, carbon laden, aero optimized, race inspired trim line. The turbo has always been the heavy, comfort sports car for old guys to brag about it’s power output at stoplights. The GT cars are the real drivers cars. Saying that with love lol. The Sport Classic is absolute gem, and very rare. You are sort of seeking a car that looks like a track car but made for road going. That’s the GT3 touring. In regards to the value, its just that McLaren is a crazy good value for how much car you get. Blows my mind that you get a carbon tub in even their $200k car. Porsche is priced squarely for what it is but still manages to overdeliver and put a smile on your face. Pure fun factor.

Turbos can be optioned with carbon fiber and there are many after market options to add.

Friend purposely fried the wifi/sat modem in is custom built 1100hp vette engine because chevy dials in nightly and would reset his tune. Daily emails about how they cant connect to his car...lol. Got to have a mechanic in your weekly life now. dead battery...tune lost. And the pesky popo not "appreciating" custom exhaust. ( although most cops are car nuts and love to check out the crazy mods). If your year is up for emissions test (USA)....time to put on the original exhaust and run a stock tune. Not a cheap hobby!

[@martinsevera7276]

From someone with love for driving sports/super cars at illegal speeds: great review but I think you will like your Spyder RS much more. 911 Turbo S is just too big and heavy and it feels like it

[@ChrisTLiuo]

As a honda civic owner, I agree.

[@michaelp6794]

I have a 991.2 turbo S convertible. I did not realize that they stopped putting carbon fiber on the interior. I have a bunch of carbon fiber in my car that was standard at the time. Disappointing at that price point because I was hoping to buy 992 turbo S convertible when the prices come back to earth.

[@hyper_channel]

Didn't watch this specific video but I have seen and worked on plenty of both cars. I can confidently say that Mclarens are garbage for the price, build quality is abysmal. They straight up have poorly design parts. Porsche have their problems, specially because they are pushing the technology envelope a lot but in general are a much more solid product.

great comparison content

[@TheTavianTrek]

Been waiting to see this video for awhile!

[@Bloodcurling]

Thank you for the video. @1:20 Thanks for going over fuel economy first. Every car I own I test and figure out the cruise controls best speed for best economy with a semi trailer draft (except the Volt, draft has no effect) . Volt Gen1 gasoline override 62mph => 2.38gal/100, Caprice 78 50mph (no overdrive) => 4.41 Mazdaspeed6 65mph in 6th => 3.03 626 Gen5 55mph => 2.51 Skylark GS Gen6 was wierd 80mph & 60 had same RPM and gal/100, so I just drove at 80 Probe was bad with fuel. Only got 5.26, so I adjusted and held RPM at a higher constant and it actually got better gal/100 Porsche and Corvettes are the most efficient. @:20 Also, it's just just KZbin, minus the "S" Sincerely the Grammar Police

[@ES175jazz]

I think the GT3 RS would be a more apples to apples comparison. The turbo is more of a daily driver

[@g.williamswilliams8442]

And, no mention about females. Nice vid Rich 😅

[@xdanano]

Good info on the lack of carbon fiber I'm gonna fill that market

[@rpgco.754]

Put me down for some front and rear diffusers. CF seats w/ AC(of course), CF tail, hood, sunroof.

[@gerryag.m7299]

You Should put a mild tune and better exaust system that boosts performance but not too noisy that was one of your complaints on the car, Porsche have to suffocate that F6 engine because of regulations, that would make the car jump in power to about 700 bhp and make it chase McLaren's above 120Kph better.

[@BrettL250]

My 2024TTS has android auto. Cool video.

[@AmitPatel_.]

Nice to hear the GT car was great at doing GT car stuff.

[@TideV2]

What are the odds you made a vid comparing my two favorite cars

[@cruisinspecialtiesllc6104]

Really enjoy the car related videos. Would love to see Andrew Tate on again, but only talking about cars.

[@stefanthomassen4750]

The TurboS is not the right Porsche to compare with a McLaren 720, concerning driving abilities. Take an 992 GTRS2 and that thing drives loops around the MCLaren in every situation, even after 120km/h, the MC Laren only sees the back-lights. And if you go on a racing-circuit, with the TurboS or more with the 992GTRS2 you have fun the hole day, the McLaren is death after 3 hours, meaning the reliability of a Porsche is much higher. And there are even Carbon-options at Porsches...

[@rpgco.754]

facts. GT2RS is a monster...if you can get one.

[@iotapi322]

4 years ago on a video conference I showed off my 996 turbo to Rich. Nice to see him come around 😅

[@scottchelmford7136]

Have you had any issues with it? About to pick up a tiptronic 996 turbo

[@rpgco.754]

I turned my 996 into a heap of metal years ago. totally my fault, bad day.

[@pennfootball71]

I drove the 570S and the 911 Carrera S...Both nice McLaren was more of sports car Carrera more of an appliance for speed. Prefer the New Aston Martin Vantage to both since it is WAY more comfortable and fast enough and handles good enough.

[@stre622]

Turbo s Rules! Had a 2016 great car! Waiting for the hybrid! I'm sure stay with a 765

[@adammarshall4576]

No comparison!! Porsche a X10 better for rally drives! It’s just so easy to log big miles. Now 720S would have the driver experience, sound etc. at the end of the day if your beat up physically how much fun would day 3 be!!
