Is the Porsche 911 Carrera T a BETTER performance car than a 2024 BMW M4?

The 911 Carrera T is the lightest from Porsche. On the outside you will find special grey wheels, mirror caps, black side stripe and sport exhaust. On the onside you will find unique 911 T seats and a rear seat delete. Powering the 3.0L twin-turbo flat-6 mated to a 7-speed manual gearbox.

I own a 22 Carrera S Cab with a 7 speed. I just took delivery of my Carrera T last week and drove it through the Georgia mountains. It feels so much sportier than my S. The feel is much more connected to the road. My S is more powerful in the upper rpm range only. I thought it would be a hard choice to pick between the two! I’m selling the S. Great accurate review!

[@truthserum5310]

Give your T an ECU tune, and you will certainly not miss the S.

[@cabbagehead8082]

If it makes me smile watching Joe drive it, I could imagine how happy I'd be driving it. Beautiful machine

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for keeping an open mind

[@Viporghini]

I never liked Porsche either... But then I test drove a GT4. Now, I'm hooked. Wanna step up to a GT3 and eventually GT3 RS. The benefit of Porsche is they've refined the same exact car for almost a century. Helluvathing.

[@terryrutherford2114]

@@Viporghini It's more of a looks thing for me. I own a Corvette C7 Z06. Performance wise it may not be able to compete with a 911, but I just love the looks and performance it gives. If I had the money, I would definitely own a Porsche, but I had to buy the one I wanted. By the way, I have never had the pleasure of driving a Porsche, so I don't know what I'm missing. Haha!

[@truthserum5310]

I love, love, love the Carerra T. Especially in manual guise, which is the ONLY way to have it. It's one of my favorite 911's in the lineup. With a simple ECU tune, and you are at 992 GTS power levels and beyond.

Of all your videos I’ve watched Joe. I don’t think I’ve seen one where you were genuinely so excited about being “on throttle”. Thank you for showing us the tears and laughter from the joy of driving a T. I’ve had a Corvette C5 Z06, a C6, and a Porsche 991.1 S. I absolutely love the Corvettes but the 911 is just another level of fun and refinement you can’t go wrong with either. My 992 T (7sp and bucket seats) is coming this spring and I can’t wait. Thanks for the awesome video and your genuine sincerity, two thumbs up!

You crack me up. You bring the fun with your videos along with honest impressions and witty comments. Love the 911T. Want one. For me as a buyer I’m looking at the Corvette, the M4, 2025 CTV Blackwing, the 911T. All bring something different to the table. All have pros and cons. 10 years after purchase I think the 911T is still in your garage and loved, where the others will seem antiquated. My 2 cents. Thanks for bringing fun buddy. Cheers!

Hey Joe! Loved this review, man! Stick all the way ! I'm glad they kept the tradition for the folks who really enjoy their interaction with the car. Still waiting when you get inside, a Koenigsegg!

[@Bimmer_Bill]

As a BMW guy who has a BMW channel, the answer is… yes the 911 is the way to go (unless you have children). BMW does not make a “drivers” coupe anymore. The new Z4 manual will be as close as they’ve gotten in many years, but the 911’s reputation precedes itself.

[@jonathanwinston9958]

The M2 Competition (which I own) is easily the best BMW alternative to the 911 and hosts 2+2 for kids. Daily this car and love the ability to take the family on speed runs to dinner.

I see Raiti rocking the Adidas. I got those 3years ago for Christmas and still use them as my daily drivers. Even when going on-throttle with them. They are amazing shoes.

In Australia, the Porsche price is ridiculously higher than BMW. The 911 T is expensive as 2.5 times of an M2 price.

911 T all the way. Curious what they are going to do with the T for the 992.2 line this year. Great video!

[@The_Ultimate_Driver]

Possibly will not be one for the 992.2 at least my Porsche SA of nearly 43 years believes. We’ll see… 48v allegedly coming for the S/GTS so highly possible the manual option for those will be DOA.

[@elaineacedo]

If they cancel the T for the 992.2, the value on these 992.1 T’s will skyrocket !!! Grab them while u still can - IF u can still get an allocation.

[@DarkClosetOfTheMind]

@@The_Ultimate_Driver I saw a video saying they are getting 3.6NA engines

[@DarkClosetOfTheMind]

@@elaineacedo I think it really depends on what the next base Carrera becomes. I don't think the T should be a turbo car.

It will probably be a smaller displacement engine with hybrid assist. Hopefully Porsche will still continue the T.

Joe, just stop it already. Get yourself a Porsche.

[@davidhechler5882]

Joe, it all comes down to taste. It kills me how people diss the M4 grill. I have a new 24 M4 competition convertible and I LOVE the Grill! To me, it reminds me of the intakes on an F-4 Phantom jet, not a pig snout. I love the looks so much that I bought an M4 instead of an M8, as I love a V8 over the inline 6. As for porsche, they all look alike to me, a jelly bean look. Never likes a rear engine design either. Again, it all comes down to taste.

[@edwarddejong8025]

I bought my Dad's 1970 911T. It was a fun car, however, it pinned the smog meter in California, and it always left an embarassing puddle of oil wherever it went, because it had a rotating shaft in an oil bath. Somehow the engineers have managed to squeeze in two turbochargers, which makes the car much more complex and expensive. I sold my 911 for $8k when i was done, now the sales tax is way more than that. The 911 is too expensive now for what it is. Not much point in a car where you are at 65 MPH in first gear.... America doesn't allow us to use this car to even a fraction of its capabilities. A great looking shape, IIRC, the 911 is the second oldest car design still in production (after GM Suburban).
