I feel like Porsche is one of the few auto makers that still understand what a drivers car is. I mean, they even still use analoge gauges and have a "ignition key" instead of push start.

[@mistamaog]

I think if that were fully true, they'd still offer a manual with the RS model.

[@michaelgeorge4643]

@@mistamaog They offer it on the GT3, but on an RS it makes little sense. With that type of acceleration and performance, a manual seems more like a burden than an enjoyment. The assumption is, if you're buying a GT3 you're going to take it to a track and try to get the maximum performance, not necessarily maximum "experience"

[@mistamaog]

@@michaelgeorge4643 I can understand it with the GT3, but with the GT4, the only way you can get the high revving 4 liter is with the auto ☹️ and it sounds so glorious with that intake system the GT4 RS has.

[@michaelgeorge4643]

​@@mistamaog I feel you, I think Porsche probably did some analysis and realized that the option for manual would be so low that offering it would make production more of a hassle? I'm not sure how it works on their end

[@BreezieE]

I hate keys. Push start all the way!

[@HondaEnjoyer12]

Probably shouldn’t drive with your eyes closed though

[@DekiaryCarter]

Lol I’m glad I’m not the only one that does this lol I love playing car videos loud in the car. Porsche’s always sound incredible.

[@brq44]

You’re supposed to drive cars like these, not keep them in a garge. Good job!

[@peterj5751]

I agree so much. Cars are made to be driven. If you can’t or don’t want to drive it regularly, it isn’t really a car any more. Plus, why spend so much money to not enjoy something every day.

[@SerPurple51]

Yeah it always makes me cringe when I see crazy cool cars with barely any miles. I laughed so hard when I heard Jay Leno say, "is your wife also a virgin?" When talking about people who have exotic cars with little miles.

[@gabrielneto2430]

Everyone is unic and has a unic point of view. If they want to keep in the garage, let them. And it's rare to see people like that, you don't see people letting the cars in the garage. And it's an investment. If the owner wants to buy a car for investment, you don't put miles on it.

[@gabrielneto2430]

If they want to buy the car for investment, putting miles on it won't be good

[@peterj5751]

@@gabrielneto2430 cars are rarely a good investment. Yes, there are examples that turn out to be good investments, but most the time they are a cost and the more you pay, the more you lose. That’s fine as long as you can afford it and enjoy them. But spending a lot of money on beautiful cars and not enjoying them seems a terrible waste to me.

[@lttsr]

The crispness (is that a word?) of the upshifts and downshifts from this PDK are really unmatched. 9000 is unreal. I'm impressed when my car hits 8000 but 9000 with that intake and engine is just bloody outrageous.

[@molotov5000]

crispyness

[@aminy529]

i love how tedward blurs the digital speedometer but not the analog one

[@kromstm2z5]

i noticed that too lol

[@unclefungi]

You can buy a GPS at truck stops that are made for semi's, that allow you to input vehicle dimensions so it will avoid low bridges, routes you shouldn't be on, etc. For the fueling while they're getting delivered. Yes this is true, at older stores. New stores use composite tanks (no rust), have one or two inline filters from tank to pump, plus there's a filter inside the pump and at the hose breakaway. So it's true, but not true. Source: I've been hauling and playing with fuel for about a decade and I've asked multiple techs that come to meter the pumps and service the underground tanks.

[@TedwardDrives]

We have one :). It’s a garmin

[@peterj5751]

Some sounds are just heaven to a petrol head. This is one of those sounds. It sounds like a thoroughbred which it truly is but yet cruises comfortably at less than 2000rpm. If this sound doesn’t do it for you, you must be dead inside. 😄

[@foureyeddriver]

Tedward does it again by commuting with one of my dream cars!

[@foureyeddriver]

@malcolmn.5222 Will do! Thanks for the motivation 🫡

[@JeremiBulakowski]

@@malcolmn.5222 and other still dream about commuting in a car which doesn't belong to staying in traffic. What I meant in a previous comments is that I'd find better roads to drive a GT4 than stroads and traffic which goes the same speed on all three lanes.

[@jaygatsby1922]

Just wow!!! Sounds soooooo good. The specification on the car is beautiful. Amazing car and great video!

[@onfootbassin]

I honestly believe after both watching countless videos and driving several vehicles, this hands down is the single best sounding six cylinder vehicle sold today and maybe ever. Absolutely wicked.

[@Ar1AnX1x]

what sets apart the Cayman sound is that its just beautiful, its impressiveness doesn't come from sounding wild, powerful and dramatic like other Supercars, its just beautiful without being dramatic, it stands out.

[@MattH-wg7ou]

That blue is gorgeous and wow that sound from in the cabin!!! ❤

[@gnork973]

This is the perfect car for anyone who loves power and feel. It has analog gauges, supported by a small screen. Beautiful, simple interior while not going the plain, straight, and rectangular modern style. It's so beautiful inside and out. It sounds amazing. And from whatever I've heard about it, everyone agrees that it drives fantastically. I want one myself😆😭

[@wolfesbane4263]

i like how turning on the captions just describes the engine revving as music

[@RGMS_]

17:00 here in brazil all fuel stations are "full service", you arent allowed to fill your own tank and honestly i like it, the fuel stations have lots of employers so you are never waiting, and the person stays with your car until the the refueling is done, is rare to get a bad experience

[@Matthew-ll9ke]

That works until the cost of labour rises

[@thedog5k]

@@Matthew-ll9ke ^ It's sad if they are that many people so poor and desperate you aren't allowed to pump your own gas anymore

[@RGMS_]

Its always been like this and i prefer to have a professional filling up tanks rather than someone that would be on their phones and spill fuel or do some crazy shit like filling up random containers just because something happened somewhere and there will be a fuel shortage for a while

[@stephenhadley6943]

"The [housing] market is so depressing and horrifying everytime I look at Zillow that maybe I should just live in a tent and buy a GT4RS instead..." Glad to know I'm not the only one who's thought that. These vids are awesome, thanks man.

[@Adison0529]

What a ride, hats off to the man who spec'd it. Nowadays you see so many cars in different shades of blue that to me it became a common option of a colour that one goes with when they don't want their car to be plain but aren't brave enough for some red or more unusual colours like yellow, green etc. This GT4 RS though, it looks marvelous in that blue and I'm so glad it's got the silver wheels instead of black or indigo. Top notch spec, just a phenomenal car all around although I think you got a bit too excited for that GT3 take 😬

[@BRAINFxck10]

Bright colors don’t look good on this car cuz of all the black race trim

[@kugelschreiber5678]

@@BRAINFxck10the GT4RS that throttle house reviewed is my dream spec. I believe it was a gunmetal grey color (I know that it was def dark, just not black) with the weissach package. THAT is perfect.

[@BRAINFxck10]

Okay that is for sure my dream car. The sound and the responsiveness, oh my god.

[@theapplepaul]

Love the car, the spec, the video. The right engine, the right redline, even the right color. The right owner.The PDK is a legit marvel. That said, I still prefer a manual. That's the reason I'm not buying one. And I'm sticking to that story. But if you gave me one...

Man this car makes me genuinely emotional. Incredible. Truly.

[@eminkaraman7871]

oh I love this! Keep up the good work Tedward!

[@hamidq9547]

Agree on the size. I got my 4RS recently and back to back with my 991.1RS it is noticeably smaller and more usable. So much so that I just sold the 3RS.

One of the best sounding cars hands down

The thing you miss from a PDK with a manual is that brup sound it makes when it shifts up under acceleration. The crisp gear changes in general are an out and out better driving experience than a manual.

I just got my first BMW and one day I will have a Porsche! Keep working hard and everything is achievable people.

[@iKone911]

Not sure why everyone thinks the 718 is so much smaller than the 992. It's only an inch smaller in width and a couple in length (1.2 and 2.5 to be exact). Plus the 718 has a longer wheelbase by about 1.3 inches. People tend to forget that the 718 Cayman/Boxsters have been growing as well.

[@uberyoyo]

They haven't grown nearly as much in the same time. For actual dimensions for the baseline mid engined cars, the 718s are only about 2" longer than the 986 boxsters. Same width. The GT cars are slightly longer because of the much more aggressive splitters. Wheelbase is less than an inch longer on the 718 compared to a 992, which is much closer than it was for 986 vs 996. That was nearly 3" difference. The 911 wheelbase has grown by about 4" in that time, and the cayman/boxster has grown about 2.4" Plus... the 718 drives smaller.

[@iKone911]

@@uberyoyo I've driven both extensively. I own a 911 992. The wheelbase on the 718 is more than an inch longer, but either way. The reason the 718 feels smaller is because of the psychological 'feeling', not the mechanical or handling. Having no rear seat or that large space behind you makes the car feel much smaller.

[@jgalt99]

Fuel goes through multiple filters before it gets to the pump. You don't have to worry about sediments when the gas station is getting refilled. That said I'd do the same thing with someone else's 150k+ exotic.
