[@dankuchma6498]

This could be a new segment for you guys to mix into the regular reviews. Reviewing cars of friends, interesting people/cars or “famous people” with a cool story. Almost an updated version of the one takes but with a twist. Just a thought. A very cool story of Tom’s car. Great review as always!

[@ealingj]

Matt's Hargerty video on the 4.5 is completely to blame for me having a 911 4.5 and a Cayman 4.5 as well. Thank you Matt. 😅 Love them both.

[@Sassy7712]

In the same vein as Matt's question - if you had to pick one, which is the more exciting car and the one you would keep?

[@ealingj]

@@Sassy7712 Gosh that's a very tough one. As Tom mentioned, they drive very differently. All the controls are familiar, both are clearly Porsches, but the way they go around corners especially trail braking, mid corner rotation, and accelerating out of corners are totally different. On track I find the Cayman 4.5 more exciting. It urges the driver to push and get on the gas early to plant the rear. Adrenaline rush the whole way. On the street the 911 is easier to drive, fits more stuff, and friendlier at the limit. But easily creates excitement due to 4.5. Like Tom, I'll be keeping both. I've only had the Cayman 4.5 for about a month so it's hard to make a decision without getting to know it better.

[@MiamiMiles]

Matt, I'd love to invite you to come drive my Manual DeMan 4.5L 991.2 GT3. It's insanity. For some reason this 992 GT3 felt reserved through the camera... Could be the exhaust setup or the fact that it wasn't broken in. I went Dundon and Track rear section. My car sounds like the GT4 in its tone, but goes to 9K and makes 510 to the wheel. All of the tingles that Tom and you get from the Cayman, which Rick drove me in, are enhanced in a 4.5L manual GT3 configuration with a crazy exhaust. For context I have a 4RS, and my DeMan GT3 car makes that thing feel like a Lexus. Anyways, great video! Happy that you and Tom are also addicted to the Rick Juice ;)

[@The_Stanman]

Will be great to see when you can really rev it out after break-in. More important on this engine than the 718 4.5L.

[@warkus123]

So from what i understand it manages to get 90 more hp than stock motor while having 100fl-lb more torque that comes in earlier, all while only being 0.5l or 12.5% larger displacement... That sounds like magic almost considering the 4l H6 in the 911 GT3's are already very power dense (hp per liter) for being N/A and a mass produced engine. Very impressive.

[@WTFNoNamesLeft2]

It's not on normal pump gas. That makes a huge difference. I'll bet a stock one on E85 would see big gains. (This is not an e85 build in the video)

[@Heyitsallgoodman]

Not magic, just what a engine builder can do using better parts. Also different fuel and compression

[@dcskater180]

He adds displacement and compression to a point it doesn’t run on pump gas so thats where the extra grunt is found. That and a full exhaust frees up a few more. But yea its amazing that motor can still rev like that and remain reasonably reliable.

[@JCviggen1]

We don't know how much power it has but it almost certainly ain't 590 or 591. DeMan use a hub dyno which gives a high number and then do some flat out incorrect calculations to get to crank power. There was a 4.5L 991 Touring from Miami that went with the car to M Engineering's dyno and it read like 100 HP lower than it did at DeMan (I forget exactly but it was a lot). That wasn't a "correct" number either of course. Most dyno's aren't able to give you an accurate number to begin with and then the people who sell these things go looking for the most optimistic interpretation of the best run they can get out of it.

[@vvevvevvvv]

​@@JCviggen1 it's 591 crank horsepower probably

I remember when I first got my GT3, felt like a Corolla. Clutch, gearshift, interior - all very Corolla like. Once I got past the break-in and could redline it, it all came together. It is true that these cars are not fun unless you really drive them hard. But then, more power just means less opportunity to drive them hard. So I think I’ll stick with the 4.0.
