The 911 speedster, the gentleman's gt3!
To build the speedster Porsche finally chopped the roof off of the gt3! They made a ton of changes to focus on the driving experience, some may have gone too far, lets find out!

Corvette c8 on Tail of the Dragon!
มุมมอง 69หลายเดือนก่อน
Me and my friend AJ drove my c8 from Florida to New York and took a detour to the best road on the east coast, Tail of the Dragon! The c8 is so capable both for its price point and its weight. With us and our luggage this car was probably 2 tons!

How much did you get for the C8....I'm going 2025 M2
@fzr1000981 I'm using it in Florida for the winter before selling it but it's probably worth 52-55k right now by the time I sell it with 45-50k miles maybe high 40s?
@@720sobsessed6 prices dropping fast, GM over production
Why not a Porsche? Because this is an actual exotic. I’ve had the pleasure of being in one several times and it’s truly a sick car!!
@hdcarfiIms 100 percent! I've never driven a Porsche that put half the smile on my face that this does, thanks for watching!
@@720sobsessed6 yeah exactly! Plus the reactions a lotus gets are crazy, everyone breaks their necks when we drive by but with a Porsche no one bats an eye as we see like 100 every day lol. 🙌🏻🙌🏻congrats on the car
I have no problems speed shifting my Evora 400 you may want to adjust shift cable a little tighter.
@frankprocaccini4683 I've driven the car probably 1500 miles since this video and had only driven it about 100 at this point and I'm more used to it. I'd say 2-3, 3-4 etc are as fast as any other manual I've ever driven but 1-2 is just a bit slow, u have to wait a little extra for the revs to drop but it doesn't bother me I kind of like the finesse it requires. The shift cable actually seems to have gotten better with time, maybe from lack of use from the previous owner. Thank you so much for watching and enjoy the 400, I'll have more evora content again next year!
@720sobsessed6 yes definitely shifts better the more you use it. Sometimes if you let it sit for a while without use the shift cable resistance is slow especially in the winter. You may have to lube it. Happened to me once from sitting in cold wheather. Had mine 3 years no issues. Engine is bullet proof. I would say just keep your eye on the supercharger coolent level. Charger runs little hot. Had to top mine off 2 times in 3 years. Other then that great ride. Have fun and god speed.
very nice, debating between EMIRA vs EVORA =.P
@@BOTDDNA I was literally just at the lotus dealer today and parked next to the emira, they're both awesome cars but the 2 extra "seats", extra power, less weight and raw interior give the evora the edge for me for now. If lotus makes a more raw emira with more power I will order one but I'm not sure I'll sell the evora it's unbelievable, I actually like it a lot more than I did in this video.
One of my favourite Porsches ever! , that 6 speed manual 😍😍
@tanishmv it's a beautiful car and the transmission is buttery smooth, thank you so much for watching!
The 750s is a Victoria Secret model, with a Harvard law degree, and the grace of Princess Diane. Like Mary Poppins, it's practically perfect in every way. This video did a superb job of highlighting all the car's features so I will not repeat them here. There are a few niggles that few reviewers mention, but none of these are enough to dethrone the car as the king of all super cars. The niggles are: 1. You get about 3 MPG less in the 750s than in the 720s, yet the gas tank is the same size as the 720s, meaning you start to get some "range anxiety" slightly reminiscent of what you might have in an electric car. 2. Some of the claimed weight savings of the 750s over the 720s are achieved through slight-of-hand (for example, non-apples-to-apples comparisons of seats, and the use of a smaller battery with about half the capacity of the battery in a 720s). 3. You get 30 more horsepower in the 750s than in the 720s, but you only get it if you use 93 octane gasoline. 4. Some improvements like the changes in spring stiffness, dual fuel pumps, 20% larger wing, weight savings, and additional horsepower, are going to be completely imperceptible to all but the likes of Ayrton Senna. Despite the niggles, the list of engineering marvels in the 750s is long, impressive, and without peers. If you want to draw attention, get a Ferrari 296 or a Lamborghini Hurrican. If you want a true driver's car, get the 750s.
@sergeindividual1169 the weird thing with the mpg is we get about 3 mpg better in the 750 than the 720 even thought the epa rating favors the 720. This makes sense honestly with the 750s shorter gearing. Maybe on the highway the 720 will be better I haven't done enough highway driving to tell. You're right most of the 750 weight savings is from standard lightweight options like the wheels/seats. Thanks for watching, these really are the ultimate modern drivers cars!
Man i aint gonna hate, but i will say that the vid quality is low. Best way to increase you views and quality of vids will definitely be to get a better camera pov. I dont know what your current setup, but someone who also does nice car vids is definitely tedward. check how he does his pov. I know this is coming from a random, but im not joking or trolling or hating
@majorsnow2835 I don't take Any offense to it, the resolution from the insta360 I use is actually pretty good the problem I'm having is it keeps rotating and messing up the aspect ratio even though I've turned auto rotate off. I've been looking into the issue online but can't find much, I appreciate the support.
Nice
@@decoriumjohnson2085 thanks for watching!
Was so much fun (if you couldn't tell from our reactions). The C8 is seriously impressive, best road-trip car for sure!
It really was awesome, thanks for being a great passenger!
? Wow what clarity! What an insane view of the water speeding by! 🙄
@rodh4554 this is a video from two years ago, I'm not sure what happened to the upload quality but this was a very nice way to let me know 🙃, it will be deleted
lol until it breaks
@elicash315 that's a nice thing to wish for, but thankfully we have had 0 issues with our 2 other mclarens and the cars are very reliable if you leave the stock and don't abuse them, have a good day.
Looks SICK! I almost went with Serpentine, tan interior, black wheels and bronze - but last minute changed to Papaya/Orange Int, Orange Calipers and Black Stryke wheels. Your assessment is on point - I tell EVERYONE who asks about "why McLaren?" - if you are serious about driving it is the brand to buy....period. Next is Porsche.
@saltydoctor2725 serpentine is awesome, but papaya suits Amy mclaren! We have an allocation for the new p1 and I'm seriously considering papaya depending on what the car looks like. I'd say lotus is next but I agree with you lol! Nothing drives like a mclaren, but the lotus feels like a mini one! Thank you so much for watching and congrats, I think you have the final version of the goat!
Beatifull car and spec. Congrats man!
@2much4you97 thank you so much!

@chazefez9625 it's mixing between my friends iPhone and the insta360, apologies but I wasn't filming because I didn't know it was going to happen, he just wanted to film his time in the car.
Wheels look great, I think a silver finish is more my liking but very stately specification
@bk_nreynolds3278 thanks man! We needed the black pack to hide the paint matched front bumper so we went black but we were pretty happy because the 720 and elva are silver and chrome so it just makes it a little different.
Awesome spec , the bronze callipers are a great touch!
@tanishmv thank you! I had to fight with my dad for those he wanted yellow, that would've been a big mistake haha.
Really nice spec.
Thank you Ben, I really appreciate it! I never liked the new front end so it took me months to figure out a dark color that hid it and still showed the lines of the car!

Super!! I have the Evora GT also. Love it! I modified mine. Did a 3rd cat delete and cold air intake from GRP. Then a dyno tune at Olympic Motorsports in Boca Raton, Fl. Mine is doing 504 bhp and 403 rwt. It's fast and the sound is awesome. Interesting that like you, I drove the Emira, and the GT blows it away. Drive safe!
@Docinaplane awesome man! Mine might be coming to Florida this winter I haven't decided yet.

Ay never mind the Porche I wanna see that ford gt that bathing the guy you can see it through the reflection of the car when he puts the camera on the porche😮
@harveymorris1670 ill make a driving video on that at some point this summer. Right now I have a 35k mile c8 ownership review, 750 introduction, evora gt introduction and then 720 5 year owners review planned first
@@720sobsessed6 bro your rich asf these cars aren’t cheap and that ford gt costs around 2.3 mil brand new from the factory and that’s rare you get a chance to get one dude that c8 is on a lower cost but the 720 dammm thats a few hundred thousand you are a goat when it comes to cars btw was that porche a carrera like the one Paul walker passed away in?
@harveymorris1670 no that's a 911 speedster. The Ford gt was actually 150k now in 2006 but these cars aren't mine they're my father's, only the c8 and now the lotus are mine. I'll have new videos soon!
Okay thanks bro keep it up with the car content us cars geeks love it and that price for a gt is a bargain thats mental but other than that your father has a great car collection your lucky to have someone like that! Keep it up bro 👊🏻
Man im jealous

Cool
Le s go
This was the fastest and best McLaren supercar that was made even after 5 years it was walking away from 750s and 765 on rolling races
I love the 720, it's my all time favorite car. After doing 1k miles in the 750 now though, it is a much Bigger step forward than people realize. I've driven them both back to back 3 times now and the 750 is more liveable, it has more downforce, the steering is better, and it is way quicker down low. I don't know why carwow did a test on different tires with a coupe vs a spider but in reality from a dig the 750 will eat it. Looks wise the 720 is still much nicer imo. They're all amazing cars, those 3 are the best driving supercars ever made even if they're all pretty similar.
@@720sobsessed6 many people said 750s has better steering but 720s was actually faster than 765 on most tracks 750s has shorter gearing 750s can't touch 720s if both are on same tires from dig or roll Derek 720 was running 9.8 @146 mph on the street 6 times in a row and top end 720s is faster by default 750s can't do that 750s time on Carwow was 10.3 While on same runway 720s spider ran 10.1 @145 mph and it beat the BMW s1000rr which is no joke
@Smzxe the 720 is a monster, I love it. But the 765 ran a 9.3 on a prepped surface on street tires. The 720 on r888s did a 9.7 after maybe 80-100 the 720 is faster but in the 1/4 it doesn't make up the ground it loses to the 765/750 shorter gearing yet.
@@720sobsessed6 750/765 are only quicker on prepped surface On street they are matched with proper driver 720s will beat them and on 1/2 mile 720s has advantage still Only 765LT is quicker
@Smzxe I love the 720 I'm biased towards it(as you can see by the name of the channel) but I can promise you from a dig, a 15 roll, a 25 roll, 35 roll whatever slow speed run you want to do, the 750 will win. There's something about the 720 that makes me smile everytime I drive it because I have so much wheeltime in it and it was SO much better than everything in 2017/18/19/20, but the second I drove the 750 I knew I was in denial about it just being an ugly front bumpered 720.
what on earth do you do for a living
I'm just a college student, I resell shoes for a loving. Most of the cars you see on here are my dads. I clean/detail them and get the pleasure of driving/speccing them(not this 458 I was 11). This was a quoted 10k repair from ferrari that i figured out how to 99 percent fix for free. I find independent techs for all the cars and like working on them so I fixed this for him. I'll have driving videos coming soon so stay tuned!
@@720sobsessed6 Thats awesome, would love to see more driving videos too. What do your dad do for a living? Assuming he has some businesss
@FVGAdi he's in real estate, he started out as and still Is a real estate transactional attorney as well. Everybody I meet in the car world did different things to get their cars, in my opinion u just have ro do what ur best at that u enjoy. Maybe I'm nieve lol
How does this compare to the 720s?
Completely different animal. I have 30k miles on this now and have don a handful of 1k mile trips. It's like a golden retriever it's happy doing anything. Whether that's flying down a backroad at super speeds or sitting In an hour of traffic. The 720s steering and engagement is on another planet, it's also 600 pounds lighter and you feel that. U can daily a 720 but it's the happiest when ur driving it hard, the vette is fine with whatever. The 720 is obviously way faster and the steering/weight makes it way more fun. The c8 at a fifth of the price is insanely impressive
@@720sobsessed6 thank you for the informative reply! 🤔 I have 750s on order but might just get a used 720s and c8. Is there any substantial differences you noticed between the 720s and 750s?
@Samiarain huge difference unfortunately. I was planning on selling the 750 until I drove it. The low gearing makes it way more drivable in traffic and the steering is insane. Feels more elva than 720. 720 mid range power does feel stronger in car though. I think the 720 front end is way better looks wise too, I did the 750 spec to counter the paint matched front bumper
@Samiarain this summer I'm going to be posting a ton of 750/elvw content I can go more in depth there.
How did you get so rich?
Not me this is a family members boat. He's in real estate.
@@720sobsessed6Aiden, you say that like y’all don’t have an Elva😂
Not me, I haven't earned anywhere near enough to buy that boat. My biggest involvement in it is washing it/flushing it/detailing it. If I didn't work for it it's not mine.
They didn’t always aim for reduction in weight. Example? Panzerkampfwagen VIII
🤣
bro just say that you don't like the car
It's a phonemenoal base of a car for 130k, which is what the gt3 started at. The transmission and engine are great. The problem is they added a lot if weight and softened the suspension and gave u nothing else and 3x the price.
He kind of proved what he was arguing against. Every single Porsche I sell, when it doesn’t have PASM, Chassis Control, Soft Close, Etc. it weighs less… that’s how options work.
Nobody is asking for soft close doors on a lightweight supercar. The problem is the cars weight with fluids is 3500 pounds. For such a small for with an na v6, that's not light. Also the speedster has pasm as a gt model
Buy lexus lfa or their sport car. You will never complain
Honestly man, they just look so adorable
Tebrikler 🎉 Turkey 🇹🇷👏👏👏
So.. German version is much better, trust me
Enjoy the videos mate but you have to slow down a little bit more when speaking believe me it’s hard to understand certain phrases 😭other then that keep going mate and positive vibes only kiddo ✌️
Understood. Unfortunately with this I was trying to cram way too much information into a 1 min video, definitely something I need to figure out because I wouldn't want to try to make it say a minute 30 and make it a full legnth video. Thank you for the comment!
I’m the 400 th person that liked the video
The 991.2 911 Speedster is the greatest car ever created in the history of cars, by far, bar none. So much SOUL, so much ENERGY, so much HERITAGE is felt when you're piloting this absolute beauty from Stuttgart. Porsche never fails to engineer a fantastic product.
Fewer features...not 'less features' Go back to school.
Such a kind comment, thanks man!
Its five years later.... How was your experience with this ski? I am looking to buy a 2018 VXR as a used one. Thoughts?

You know what else is annoying..? I’ll wait
State fair has always been convertible. Soul speedsters will always be converted it’s not for weight saving
