I think my c8 is the best bang for the buck for my life.
I considered a 911 carerra s when I placed my order for the 3lt convertible z51 c8. Price was one reason I chose C8 96k fully loaded convertible vs 140k non convertible. 2nd V8 vs turbo v6. 3rd easier to figure out options and order. Have you checked out the options on ordering a 911 it is mind numbing. Some may like it, I don’t. Insurance is next 3k vs 800. Dealer network assumed I am not worthy of buying one to most of the dealers I visited. They just see me in my 2008 Lexus and don’t think of me as a Porsche owner. Little did they know I can buy the car in cash. Dealership on going maintenance is also another reason I chose C8. Now I would not buy any of the previous versions of corvette. C8 is way too much value vs 911. 911 is a great car but for my use and money C8 is plenty.
Couldn’t agree more. I crossed the convertible c8 against the 911, used r8, Benz gtc, and Jaguar f type. Settled on the c8 for 98k. The other thing I liked about the c8 is that it has usable truck/frunk. I can fit my golf clubs in it which was huge for me. It’s a weekend car and feels special every time I drive it. Also it’s so cheap to fix in comparison!
You made the obviously right choice. The fact that you could have a 3LT for still substantially less than an essentially base 911 is insane. Also, as you mentioned, the maintenance is guaranteed to be substantially less money than a 911. Getting a base 911 is what tools do, to try to make themselves seem wealthy, when in reality, no wealthy person is buying such a low spec Porsche. Sad!
I have owned both cars. The 992 Carrera S is the superior car in almost every way.
The Corvette costs substantially less, not to mention I guarantee it costs way less to maintain. It also sounds much better, given it has a V8 as opposed to a V6. The Corvette also has alot more power. Why you would get essentially a base 911 in the first place is beyond all reason
@@peterjordansonthe2nd731exactly 😅
are you on drugs buddy? i have tested both the c8 is superior in every way, c8 has a faster launch that thing just hooks c8 0-60 faster than the 992 , c8 is faster than carrera in quarter mile and c8 gets way way more attention than the ugly azz porsche its not even close, c8 has more power than the porsche 992 and c8 interior destroys the ugly interior of the porsche so wtf are you left with? thats why said your on drugs wake up lol
@@peterjordansonthe2nd731 yes, the 911 has a V6 😂
@@coreyegan6751 Inline 6, V6 - nice semantics. You're an idiot
Was just going back and forth between the carrera S, new at mrsp it's new Z06 money, no comparison...an exotic high reving V8 that shreds the carrera s on every level...C8 Z06 on that all day everyday. Ended up getting a new loaded C8 stingray coupe at mrsp as my summer cl car, saving 70K vs the carrera s new at mrsp (trudeau's luxury tax really impacts getting the porsche). Both are great but for me the C8 delivers more enjoyment.
C8 hands down. Looks so much better IMO and it’s fun to drive also. Placed my order for C8
If I had the money, it would have to be a 911 or a Cayman GT4. Love the sound of the flat 6, it revs to the heaven, the PDK is 'the' gearbox.
But I don't have the money 🙂
I'd never ever want a Ferrari or Aston or any such a car, well, I do love the Ariel Atom family of cars, but it's not made for the wet weather, well, not for me 🙂
The 911 is such a rocket, beats every Nürburg ring lap times for production cars.
Peace!
I would love to have a C8, but unfortunately I cant afford or have room for both. My 992 C2S is like driving a brand new car , even after owning it a couple years . The excitement and love never fades. Great video.
I go back and forth, between a 991.1 C4S, my ZL1 1LE or a C8 Z06
Also in yellow it looks really great!
YES! Buy both. Looking forward to this video.
Nice review! As a race car driver, that lead follow drove me absolutely crazy. 😅 I wanted to go!
I own 2023 ZO6 convertible. I had the 2020 GTC AMG and it was incredible but as a daily driving, C8 is no comparison…
Convinced me to trade my 2022 C8 Z51 HTC for a 2022 C4 GTS. I do love my C8 though. Good video.
How many golf bags can fit in the 911?
You can own a C8 and a G63 (used) for the same price.
No brainer which way to go.
The answer is yes!
Carrera S is nice but sounds crappy, I'm going with the c8.
the 911 having turbos kind of ruins the exhaust sound, the Stingray C8 Corvette sounds better
Agreed stock to stock yes. Basic exhaust on 911 and it opens up nicely.
No more new GM for me. Been burnt on engine issues where metal parts seem to be made of butter in Asia. I'll stick with Vettes with LS3's and earlier from now on. Not dealing with afm, variable cam, and bent pushrods anymore. I own an air cooled Porsche 911 hot rod as well and I absolutely love that car. I'd probably prefer that one to anything new actually just for the driving dynamics alone.
I own a 992 Carrera S as well as a 2019 ZR1. Fully optioned the 911 runs around 150K. They usually cap in the 150 range because anything more than that puts it in the Turbo price bracket. A stock 911C2S will beat the C8 in both a roll and dig. It’s a fact. 5 grand for a tune and some high flow cats on the Carrera S will give it another 140 wheel HP. E85 tune puts it closer to 600. I am sub 3 second 0-60 on city streets with a stage 2 tune. These engines have so much in them waiting to be tapped! The C8 is nice, but it’s not as much fun!
I think the biggest thing with the 911 is the smaller stance, the lower weight and the backseats make the 911 very attractive. Is it worth the extra 60-70 grand? That’s up to you.
Bang on. Basic mods make these into monsters.
I cough up a kidney or two for a GT-3RS, but I’m perfectly happy with my Z51 HTC
yea you and me both! Don't think I'll swing the $200K they are going for these days though
I like the 911 but I’d buy the vette cpo top trim level. The 911 is built better but it isn’t really exclusive anymore. For the price of a mid level 911, you could something slightly used but that’s actually exclusive.
Carrera S. End of discussion. The 'Vette is no slouch though. Full respect.
Maybe if it was a GTS minimum, you might be able to say the Porsche is better. The Corvette could be well equipped and still cost less than the Porsche
Just a thought, a kid can be picked up from school and sit in the front seat of the C8. :)
I drove a C8 and was super impressed but the design didn’t gel well with me vs the classic shape and history of the 911. I am blessed to have a ‘22 C2 992 paid for in the garage and a ‘24 Carrera T manual on order. At MSRP. Ordered two weeks ago, delivery first week of March. Love the higher end models but can’t afford them as I don’t finance, and it’s my daily.
You’re definitely doing it right sir, love to see it
The 911 is an awesome car, but you pay for it. To get a 911 that is a sub 3-sec car is over 150K. Bang for the buck is the C8. I have an LT1 with Z51 with after-market wheels and some custom stuff for 78K. I have an order for the ERAY that should be here in about 18 months. I got the Macan GTS as the daily driver.
911 Carrera S breaks the 3 secs and starts at $131k. But the C8 is still a great value. Have one myself :)
If money is of no concern then the Porsche is probably the better choice. If you really want involvement then the C8 is out of the question as no manual is available--don't really care that you can't shift as fast as the automatic, it's about involvement (autos are great for the wife or your mother though). I don't understand why I see so many Porsches (BMW's, Mercedes) with 30,000-40,000 miles for sale stating "new pads and rotors at 35k miles". You can drive the 'vette for 100k miles doing normal maintenance for next to nothing. As most of us only get to go to the track once every year or two, track numbers are irrelevant so comparing the apples to the oranges ($65k out the door to $110k out the door) it all comes down to how much fun you can have on a daily basis and does that car fit into my budget?
911 hands down
This is just one man's opinion.
Both cars have their advantages.
It is you who has to decide what car you want to drive home.
Good video!
I have a 2004 996 911. I almost bought a brand new 2013 991.1 911. I also own a low-mileage '94 C4 Corvette (no one laugh!!! Lol).
The 911 is the better car in terms of resale value as well.
You mentioned Boomers are buying the C8 Corvette. I am curious about that stat. I believe it would be more of the early Gen-X'ers who are buying them. But that's just a guess. Boomers weren't very good at saving. Lol!!
No shame owning a C4, lol. I have a 1989 Corvette convertible (stock) and had a 1990 M6 convertible that I modified and was running in the 12's. Super fast and I did road trips in it. But the Porsche is much more fun to drive and better built as you know having one.
My choice would be 992 S for sure.
Porsche man here
Any porshe over c8 including cayman gt4
I have a 991.2 and have driven the C8. The 911 is on a different level compared to a c8. You will get your money back come resale with a 911, but not with a Chevy 😂
Depends when you resell...C8 currently beats the 911 in resale...
C8 has been holding insane value .will it continue.... who knows
The C8 design is grotesque (the front has potential, but the sides, rear, and interior are lost), but this will be invisible to the eye unless you have spent a lot of time studying modernism. Start with Frank Lloyd Wright, Eero Saarinen, Jens Risom, Richard Neutra. If you soak up enough great design you'll be able to see beauty right away. The 992 returned to proper mid-century form with the flat dash (and the ledge upon which the hand can rest when using the touch screen) and the hood that extends lower with hard angled corners.
Cayman gt4
The C8 corvette was (until now) the same price as the 992 carrera s because of dealer mark up's, I hate when people talk about the C8 as if it is bargain. I didn't see one C8 for under 100,000 dollars (even used) until 2022 and prices were still at 88k and up, realistically the 992 carrera s is a more practical car and outperforms the C8 but is nowhere near as pretty!!
Porche more serious sports car
Not this generation. Porsche has been a better sports car in the past, but a C8 Stingray is a better car period.
I think the GT3 is definitely WAY more serious, but if you compare the Carrera 911 to the C8 Corvette Stingray, I think they both batch up well
The C8 looks way nicer. Buy American
A 992 Carrera S fully optioned is 160k or more. That's Z06 price, and makes the Porsche look ridiculous. Don't be fooled on Porsches starting price. A Standard Carrera fully optioned is more than a 3LT Stingray. A no option Carrera is a very sad car.
that's the biggest issues with the 911, it's overpriced in my opinion
My build is 134k on the 992 s. I have the c8 lt2 z51. I'm debating selling the Vette.. it's great.. it's so fast.. but I don't daily drive it.. I want a daily driver.
@@skippynj1979 That's the price of a ERAY? Porsche is just too much money for less car.
@@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921 I agree... I have a 23 c8 lt2 z51. It's awesome.. don't get me wrong.. it's a track monster out there and makes me a hero with my lousy driving skills. But in the streets I miss rowing gears. I like the M2 allot, but it's a different car.
The Porsche hits allot of buttons for me. Room, storage, and daily drivability. Although I drove a 992 c4s today with the MT. I was shocked at how much faster my Vette is and how much smoother the suspension on my Vette is. This Porsche has the sport pasm which I think is silly for a gran touring car with occasional track use. The GM engineers have done a fantastic job on the Vette suspension even though sometimes it's a like soft on the track.. I drove my cars 99.9 percent road and occasional track.
I have a few days to commit to my allocation.
@@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921 I will say there are few things about the Vette that are gm build quality. Plus when you go in for service your just going to a Chevy dealer rolling the dice with the techs.
Also the Vette values are crashing. The Porsches are strong. Cost of ownership on my Vette is average but the tranny is expensive to service... And I do mean expensive. I do most service myself but the tranny needs the gm computer to do a hydraulic flush. It's annoying.
I have no interest in an eray. I want less complicated and lust for a 718gts but it's impossible to get.
Carrera S
The Porsche crest itself makes the 911 the more appealing car to most, but to be honest it’s the C8 for me. I own both a 23’ Amp Orange coupe C8 and a 20’ 992 Carrera Base with slight mods.
When you get in the C8 cockpit you feel like you’re in a true exotic or something special. The 911 feels just like my Taycan with the same steering wheel, dash layout, seats etc.
I’m picking the C8, Z51 w/ magride every time.
even the base carrera is better
I've driven both and for the money C8 wins hands down. 911 is way overpriced
~$75K vs ~$125K is hard to say no to the C8
My Vette was 84... It's great.. but I lust for the 992s
C8 all day long. Better in almost every way imaginable. 911 is still a great car, but the C8 is a bargain in comparison.
the value of the C8 is too good
hahaha the author is on crack the porsche interior looks like a pile of crap next to the c8 modern futuristic interior its not even close the c8 is far superior in every way at the racetrack where true performance is measured as well the street, looks its not even close the porsche looks is outdated the C8 is something nobody has ever seen before it looks badazz
911 wont fit your luggage. Storage wise, no supercar can beat c8 on this
911 has 2 rear seats that can be used for loading. Golf clubs even fit. Taking that into account cargo volume is very similar.
