Overpriced, underpowered , from EU boitlickers that never stopped buying their energy from Russia. By the better and more economical ZO6 instead 💪🇺🇸

[@daniellivesey6749]

I managed to stump the TotalEnergies website with my Ford Focus RS daily... 5w50 is too niche apparently!

[@AloneRacecar]

I’m not so sure how to word this, but I actually like how there’s a scene where the car is showcased just like in the thumbnail. I always appreciate something like that! 👍

[@gilbertosantos2806]

The Porsche 911 is always going to be an awesome car, but asking almost $200,000 for the standard Carrera is Insane.

[@GT-pl1wx]

So true! The manufacturers have lost their mind!

[@sappyjohnson]

@@GT-pl1wx No they haven't. Our governments have. It's inflation.

[@PrimaryIgnition]

@@sappyjohnson correct, it's the destruction/devaluation of the dollar. Consider it silent taxation theft

[@mavfan1]

They’ll sell all of them meaning the price is perfectly reasonable.

[@stevep5093]

Too rich for me…I remember not so long ago buying a new GT3 for $150k. They priced out many buyers who aren’t ultra rich

[@tastytreats6195]

$150K for a base model 388hp with zero options is just crazy. Oh, and a ducktail spoiler should be an option for any 911 without a wing.

[@RAM9119]

Always said the same thing. Love ducktails on 911.. plus would eliminate mechanical stuff that would break and make the cars price tag a little cheaper

[@asfdaigjusadjfepijfadf]

The performance is much better than you would think for 380hp but I think all the hype and good press has made the prices insane. With some options you can spec a base Carrera to 200k which is a terrible value. That should be supercar prices, not base Carrera. Not to mention they upped the price of the gt3 by 50k for no reason.

[@gabes1004]

Tell that to governments

[@BijanIzadi]

They made standard a lot of things that used to be options

[@em34ev3r]

Buy an older one! The 996 and 997 are cheap and you can find them with low mileage for mid 20k

Find a 2 or 3 year old Jaguar F Type R roadster. You may still be sad you couldn't afford the 911 but you'll be grinning from ear to ear

Sub 400 hp, base model and once configured and spec done = $200K OTD! Why? Badge is nice but Porsche pricing is now from a different planet.

[@christianboyd4635]

Totally agree with Yuri on the 360 camera, I use mine every day and love it. That should be standard on any car over like $40K.

388 HP pushing a 3600 pound plus car to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds? Someone is lying about the real output of this engine. Enjoyed the video

[@prasad530]

Nah, so much of the increase in 0-60 times over the last few years is due to superior traction control and carefully tuned launch modes.

[@nornibres]

@@prasad530 I agree completely that the traction control systems, tire technology and Porsche's vaunted launch control system helps, but just putting the horsepower, weight of the vehicle(3500) and transmission (dual clutch) into a speed calculator leaves a still scorching time of 4.1 to 60mph. To get the car to 60mph in 3.5 seconds I had to input an engine output of 470 HP. It's too easy for a manufacturer to provide a ringer when the engine is turbocharged.

[@neillgowans4350]

Agreed it’s pushing out mid 400bhp for those times.

[@hexagonosaurus5848]

​@@neillgowans4350nope. A base 992 does 340-350 whp.

[@markcoopers1930]

Gearing also helps. Its making peak power in first gear with the biggest torque multiple at nearly 50mph before needing just a quick shift to finish off the run. That plus it's launch nannies gives it a huge advantage over something like a mustang GT that has 100 more horsepower, but historically has had a first gear top speed somewhere around 40 mph, is heavier (curb weight 911 @ 3,342 vs GT @ 3,741 with no options or packages), closer to even weight bias, whereas the Porsche has a rear weight bias over the drive wheels.

[@adamthompson4072]

"Did it look like a car ad?" Yuri, it's a Michael Bay movie. Of course it does

[@davevan9150]

Some hate on yellow Porsches, I like that one.

[@themaddendynasty5099]

[@sappyjohnson]

I'm colorblind too

[@davidkatsmam]

[@TasteTheRambo]

I think 90% of 992s I've seen have been black. Love it or hate it, at least this color has some flair.

[@IndaloMan]

Where I live in Southern Spain we are on the NVH/brake endurance routes for prerelease cars. They do two circuits AM/PM and currently the focus is on electric 911s and other models. They are in camo wrap and have triangular yellow electric shock stickers on them. Mercedes are testing their electric models as well, some are towing a loaded trailer.

[@BoostedAkatsukiRiffs]

Sad to say it but we really are getting towards the end of pure ice cars folks.. pulled the trigger on the last 911 gts chassis of our lives that will be fully ice a couple nights ago. Cus I know this shit is the end of modding your car freely and not being completely tracked everywhere you go in your new smart car. Happening across all car brands if you look at their line ups 25-26. And while im sure the new cars will be incredibly fast and enthralling to drive, I will probably always choose to have the "old school" format in my sports car (atleast in one car) for personalty, sound, and character for the rest of my life. Great vid as always guys appreciated♥

[@zyzlol]

They’ll never get rid of them. Just see all the special models they produced lately. It’ll cost 100k more and be limited but it will still exist

[@emrage]

991.2s - sweet spot. Analogue with 1 led screen, physical key turn, 2 cupholders in the correct position above glove box, great unrestricted exhaust sounds. It's all gone downhill since 992

[@BoostedAkatsukiRiffs]

@@emrage *Chefs Kisses

[@bertwhetstone3173]

I love my 992 (992.1 now?) but there are a few details about the 992.2 I would have to spend some time getting used to. For starters, that box on the front containing the lidar & camera. At least on the 992 it's not asymmetrical, in fact it's completely hidden by an aftermarket mesh I installed to keep debris out of the grills. On the 992.2 it looks like an afterthought. Second, the pushbutton starter. In the 992 its not a key, but at least it feels like a key! Third, the full digital driver's display. I love that the 992 still had an analog tach dominating the center, but to balance that out the steering wheel blocked most of the digital display. So depending on how configurable the 992.2 display is maybe its possible to put more of the information you want front & center, which would be a good thing. Aside from that the new base Carrera has the turbos from the 992 GTS - this is awesome because you can tune that to 600+ HP levels of performance! Previously you had to swap in the larger GTS turbos. So if you don't care about the new hybrid and e-turbo tech but want GTS level performance, consider the base 992.2 with just a few modifications.

[@Sickwitit18]

The 992.1 is better to me, I'm curious about the mesh you speak of. Might have to look into that

[@diegodivers]

You could crank up a base 992.1 easily to 530hp/600nm (which is honestly more and enough) and beyond greater intercooler and GTS Turbos. . II‘ve heard from one of the most reputable Porsche tuners that it could be very difficult, expensive or even impossible to perform an engine remap on 992.2 because they blocked the engine software. Just be aware of that.

FWIW, the new bad boy was not that bad. Wasn't *great,* but wasn't the worst in the series.

[@jamespaul1835]

My boss owns 6 Porsches and I asked him which one was the best. He asked for street or track. He caught me off guard so I said street. He said no Porsche is more competent on the street than the base model because every other model can’t handle the imperfections of the roads. On the track the GT3.

[@jonathan_careless]

Bought a base (hawc spec) 991.1 in 2014 for $104,000CDN. The amount the prices have crept up in one decade is insane.

[@Superdada]

I’m in the same boat. I have a 2014 C4S. Even fully spec’d it felt somewhat reasonable. Now I think I would be looking for a 458 Italia with the new prices.

[@gilbertferguson1685]

About the same performance as my 2017 991.2 Carrera, but if I bought it today with the same options I have on mine it would cost me $28K more than what I paid in 2017. That was when a base Carrera started below $100K and now it starts at $120K. Nice review guys.

This is all the 911 any of us actually NEEDS to get the"Porsche Experience". I meant really... For the type of driving we actually do. Even if we had a million dollar budget. What is the point of spending any more than the$150k for this Cabrio or$139k for the couple... If anything meant knees might spend slightly more for AWD and opt for the 4s.... 0 to 60 tones and to 6 speeds mean nothing in lresh world driving

Great car, great vid as always, Yuri and Jakub. A suggestion for you, fellas: not much sense in being in manual mode and a tall gear before hitting sport response and flooring it - not much happening there. Auto mode and sport response the car would immediately show off the brilliance of the PDK and sport engine response. Also, just a hunch but most of the people buying this car will not encounter Yuri's frenetic channel switching/ "I'm a passenger" issue. Looking forward to the Taycan and GTS reviews!
