Porsche has always been a little more than the typical Sports car… but the pricing has gotten out of hand, especially options which are almost must have items. Add just a few things to this and you are pushing $170,000. It's ridiculous

[@BabyKobeeee]

Exactly why I no longer support them. The price is not comparable to the performance on all the models except the turbo line and those cost more than a Huracan

[@JabbaFanzz]

It hurts me so much to agree with this but here we are...the prices are horrible and yet that is unfortunately part of the reason why they are as successful as they are. Same goes for any other type of luxury item. Same (almost) can be said about Ferrari. Surely there are other examples as well but this is what came into my mind.

[@k.w5804]

Yea and GTS seems to be a good bargain compared to C4S when the usually performance options you want to add anyway. Way too expensive but I think even with that price tag, it would still be kinda hard for Porsche to recoup the R&D costs. Sadly sports cars just don't make money these days.

Man, just a timeless, beautiful car. Every day I find myself more smitten with the 911- save for a few models. The sheer sleekness shows how Porsche has been able to retain this design. Any car nut has "that one" (or a few) car(s) that are held above all else- our dream car(s). Ever since I was a young man, the C3 Corvette, to me, is the sexiest car to ever exist- And my dream car. That, and a Morgan Aero 8 GT coupe. The 911 has now joined the dream car list. This goes way, way beyond looks, clearly. I finally got a Corvette (sadly, not a C3) for my 40th birthday, and I absolutely love it. By my calculations, I could have the used Porsche that I've considered buying by the time I'm about 130. I've never even driven a 911, but I am now dead set on owning one after reading from hundreds of articles and enthusiast's about how truly great they are. Point being, the Corvette is plenty reliable to last me another 90 years.

Shits just too expensive. I'm not a Vette guy, but even I will say it's an incredible performance car, and outside of scumbag stealership mark ups, it's obtainable for people. If not, you have Supra which is very OG Cayman like in experience. And now the Z, which will likely be C7 Vette like experience, just not built like trash and actually has a nicer quality interior.

[@stephenroberts7554]

This is the best looking 911 Porsche has made in along time such a beautiful car 😎😍

[@hoodinisharif6186]

I like how Doug is slowly improving even though he doesn’t have much to even improve on to begin with. That being said I’m talking about him showing what the options look like that aren’t on this exact car which is a bonus & ive been noticing he’s been doing it more!

that said

[@gottadrumitup]

I love this 911. The most enjoyable daily drivers version out right now.

[@philmorgan2326]

I would get the GTS of every Porsche, hands down the best trim level for the money

[@Patrick94GSR]

The center lock wheels are definitely NOT faster than normal lug nuts or bolts. It’s a fairly involved process getting them on and off and torquing them properly, unless you have the $5,000+ HyTorq precision Porsche center lock gun that’s just now coming to market. And even with that tool it tightens the nut fairly slowly.

[@thomasmatthew7759]

They should add the "HyTorq precision Porsche center lock gun" as an option.

[@Patrick94GSR]

@@thomasmatthew7759 it’s a new product being made by an independent company, who specializes in many other precision manufacturing tools. obsessed Garage recently made a video showing how it works.

It’s not difficult, and it doesn’t take a lot of time. It’s the difference between 2 minutes with 5 lugs and 5-10 minutes with centerlocks. I do it all the time.

[@ssaxmanful]

Kind of bizarre Doug never once said during the review what engine this has. It wasn’t until he did interior review and talked about the boost button that I realized it was a turbo engine. Wish he would be more descriptive and detail oriented. People who aren’t obsessed with 911 don’t know all the differences and might watch this to find out. In the cayman GTS means naturally aspirated with the GT4 engine. Wish he would just say this has the engine from the carerra

[@AcidMayo27]

There are two cayman gts models, one with the cayman s engine and one with the gt4 engine

[@ssaxmanful]

@@AcidMayo27 all the more reason to be explicitly clear when reviewing a car what engine it has. Porsche has made it wildly confusing ever since they put turbos in non turbo Porsches

You could drive around in a 2011 Porsche and people would think it looks brand new. I feel like Porsche has the hardest time coming up with a new design, this looks the exact same as all the others

[@ryanb8736]

They do it because the purist love the timeless design. They hate major change. It’s actually working quite well for them as they sell a lot of them. It’s also the driving experience that is amazing. They also blend in well with other cars. Most people have no clue they are over 100k.

[@Alby911]

Your comment would hold weight if the owner is constantly buying 911's and has finally grown out of the design. From Porsche's point of view, they have no reason to abandon that iconic silhouette.

Those center lock wheels are really cool until you get a flat tire in the middle of nowhere , and then none of the local tire shops can deal with it.

[@roiemesilati]

Was planing to get a Carmine red gts. With 30k over sticker I ended with 997c2s and saved 100k. Nevertheless I came to the same conclusion Doug did. It’s the best of both worlds.

[@robd1859]

Keep in mind that Porsche underrates their cars heavily. Just like where the new Corvette says it will do 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds. But it still can't outrun the GTS 911 so that tells you that the 911 is quicker than 3.1 lol

[@mitchellsteindler]

2.8 with 1ft rollout. Makes a big difference.

[@tamedjungle310]

So let ME get this clear: Porsche charges you for "removing" equipment and calls it a "package" and then charges you. Porsche is laughing all the way to the bank.

[@ultraguy8771]

In the past it was the opposite - more hardcore models with less equipment would cost less, not more. Alas, times have changed.

[@BionicTenshi96]

To be fair all brands resort to that lately; A bit of tweaking in the engine, remove some comfort/luxury items, use cheaper materials (in sake of "weight saving"), slap it a "Sport" badge and call it a day. Profit$$$ Personally i wouldnt remove the rear seats in a 911, although barely useful they still can come in handy, if i wanted a true 2 seater the i'd go for a Boxster/Cayman.

I've driven a 992 C4S last year with some of the items of the GTS (which made it really expensive, btw) and I really think that the GTS is a good deal. But... I'd rather choose a more standard (manual) Carrera 2 which is a lot less expensive and not slow by any means.

[@307skylake7]

Unfortunately there isn’t a manual C2. Maybe there’ll be a Carrera T with the base engine and a manual! That’ll be my favorite 911 with no doubt.

[@exoroxx]

@@307skylake7 Yes, you're right. I mean... I have to choose a manual Carrera S instead. A normal Carrera 2 would also be great. I have no complains about the 8-speed-PDK.

[@exoroxx]

@@307skylake7 And we all agree that a Carrera T has to come! On the other hand I'm really disappointed that the T is quite expensive in the 718 range (if you compare it to a normal 718 with all that useful and useless stuff). Therefore I'd rather have a manual Carrera 2 in the 911 model range.

[@307skylake7]

@@exoroxx For sure. Hopefully Porsche prices thé Carrera T smartly, because if they do then it’ll be a hit. The 718 Boxster/Cayman T are great, but just too expensive and too close to the S models.

well assuming you pick lightweight for racing purposes(which is the most likely reason) the steering will benefit you more than the weight you gained.... maybe the name of the package should be adjusted to racepackage, but the combination definetly is nice.

[@LtNduati]

If I had the money, I think the GTS is the one I'd go for, the only other option in my "hmm, maybe, one day, some day" category would be the Targa 4. I think I'm 10-ish years away from a Carrera as a second car, or a Carrera 4s as an only car, anything beyond that is hopeless optimism.
