[@ApothecaryTerry]

If you can convince the entire English speaking world that BMW is pronounced "Bay Em Vay" as per the correct German pronunciation then the "Porsch-uh" argument will be valid. You'd also have to tell Charles LeClerc he pronounces his own name incorrectly when he's speaking English. Anglicising words is normal, Porsche has 1 syllable in English, 2 in German. When I'm speaking to French people, I don't expect them to use the English pronunciation of my name.

[@shaungordon9737]

@@ApothecaryTerry Americans pronounce it the German way. So it's more of a British thing. BMW is different because it's just an acronym, so that's normal to pronounce letters in the native language.

[@magnustan841]

I wouldn’t say they’ve made it better again, Caymans have always been good, even the early 718s. They still rev-ed high (I think red line is nearly 7000 rpm), the engine was very responsive and delivered more torque at Low speeds and it still sounded okay. It’s growly and meaty, it’s just different tot he 981, which is what put a lot of people off.

[@kabob21]

Thank you! I feel like most everybody trashing the 718 turbo-4 speak from sheer ignorance based on some YT videos. Drive a 718 base, S or ‘18-‘19 GTS and you’ll understand how wonderful the engine is. Porsche always engineers great engines

[@magnustan841]

@@kabob21 Unfortunately, this community seems to be all about fitting in and sounding cool or sounding like one belongs. If Chris Harris, Jason Camissa or other well-respected journalists or those with huge followings, says something about cars, everyone wants to believe it’s true. Take the manual gearbox/transmission cult, as fun as manuals are, there are automatic gearboxes out there that are so enjoyable to use, makes you tingle when you do use them and are very engaging. However, I have a feeling that most enthusiasts who know deep down that this is true, still champion manuals until they’re blue in the face and that “manuals are for real car lovers”. It honestly makes me so angry sometimes. This same thing applies to N.A. Engine vs turbo/supercharging and the gravitation towards estate cars/wagons and the bashing of SUVs. I feel you man.

[@final_mile_music9713]

The 4c turbos are actually really great and arguably better for most driving. The 4.0 is fab but you do need to Rev it out. And you’ll be doing 80 mph in 2nd….So, a lower spec engine that you can Rev out on the public road is arguably more fun, even if the engine note is flatter. Remember the original 718 was a 4c too. I actually think the 718 T is a cracker….

It's back in the factory, along with the £291 option for leather sun visors, £168 for the Porsche badge to be cheap black plastic instead of cheap silver plastic and £270 for a leather case for the owner's manual. Interestingly the PDK is £2000 - I'm sure it was £2,500 on the 981 gen, while all those other options used to be a little cheaper (roughly £175, £90 and £250 for the 3 I mentioned I think).

[@ApothecaryTerry]

@paul Why does anyone who doesn't own a thing assume it's a "flex" to mention owning that nice thing? Not only do a lot of people own Porsches, the way they hold value means you don't have to be even slightly rich to own one so it would be a very strange flex anyway- "ooh look at me I bought a car that's cheap to own and practical". No...stop being jealous, for 2 reasons- 1, it makes you look like a bell-end and 2, you're probably at least as rich as I am anyway. If someone insults you for not having nice things then feel free to call it a "flex" and get salty. Otherwise, let people have their nice things and get on with your life. Also my comment was 6 months old...seriously why even bother.

[@ApothecaryTerry]

@paul I didn't even say which Porsche I have ☺ A 986 Boxster would be far from any kind of flex (but still a fun car to drive). Nobody says "nice flex" as any kind of compliment, ergo salty.

day 3 of trying to explain to Mat how diffusers work. Air flowing beneath the car follows the shape of the undertray. The diffuser creates an area underneath the car where air lets go that causes a low pressure area below the car, sucking it down, generating downforce. The diffuser Mat thinks of is a multi-layer diffuser, which are almost never used on road cars. Is the diffuser on this Porsche very effective? No, but it can definitely generate a few kilo's of downforce, aiding the car's stability when it's getting hooned on the autobahn.
