14:50 I would actually argue that you don't have to buy a 911 S/T to get this kind of experience, because a new ND Miata at 2,300 LBS offers a very similar drive to this car. Extremely light weight, a revvy NA engine, soft suspension, little sound deadening and a fantastic manual gearbox. But apart from that, this really is it. What a glorious machine.

@tyler97038 ай бұрын
@@AI-qd4vb I can guarantee you haven't actually driven an ND if you call the engine "anemic" or the chassis "fragile". There's very little cowl shake to speak of, only over rough train tracks, and the engine is a wonderfully responsive unit with throttle response like a motorbike, and revs that drop the instant you go for an upshift. It is true the Miata is not a laser-precise machine, but if you watch the S/T review again, neither is that in comparison to the GT3. If you actually boil down what makes the 911 S/T special, the Miata offers pretty much the same kind of experience minus the horsepower, but even then the power it has is enough for someone that doesn't care about the number on the dash, rather how the car actually feels to rev out. For a tenth of the price, that's pretty damn impressive.

This 10 year old Cayman S with upholstery damage, fender damage and PPF needing to be replaced was $45k. They had candy colored almost new 911 turbo S's in the showroom for $299k and $280 respectively, for used sub-1000 mile cars. Umm Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin... I'll take a Z06 for almost 1/3rd the cost or a Lotus Emira for 1/3rd, F-Type R, SL 63AMG... Too many drink the Porsche Kool-Aid.

If you want to pass modern safety standards, and hit Porsche's performance _and_ reliability standards, and _not_ cost millions of dollars like a GMA T.50... You end up weighing around 3000 pounds. Note that the McLaren 750s weighs about the same... And that Ferrari couldn't hit this number if the company's life depended on it. As for Thomas's 50k stripped-down manual, RWD, 300HP dream car... That's just unrealistic car journalist mouthings. You absolutely can _NOT_ engineer an uncompromised platform to base a car like that on and hit anything _near_ the 50k price point in 2024. Absolutely not.

I just don't know where to go from my old 1600 pound Elise. So I'll probably die in it, when lack of electronics, airbag, rollover protection finally conspire against me. But hey, at least I didn't have to pretend that a sportscar can weigh 3000 pounds :D

You absolutely killed it with your observation that the light NA 911 should be the base Carrera. Base Porsches historically provided the most pure driving experience.

This is the spiritual big brother of the Miata in every way. Light weight, manual, natural aspirated, non-stiff, purist simplicity just with Porsche performance.
@costafilh08 ай бұрын
People do this just to be able to choose the spec and to get future allocations. In reality it's probably cheaper to buy second hand even with huge markups! And I bet some people will sell the S/T because they only bought it to get an allocation for something better in their eyes, like a Speedster or the 918 successor!

That introduction was perfection 👌 its really shown porsche losing their customers and sales due to lack of engineers and factory workers to make enough cars....kinda defeats the purpose having a rat race "waiting list" for just the stupidly rich.

@@EvoraGT430 They are wide, especially when compared with an old 911, but I still love them regardless. They just look so good in person and are surprisingly high off the ground compared to other sports cars in this range/are more expensive. Slightly lower than a regular new 911, but still you get the idea.
