"Never get on a motorcycle when you are late"
Needs to be a t-shirt.
Spot on😊
That is kind of the reason why I would chose to get on the motorcycle...just saying...splitting traffic yo. 🤠
Had allways motorbikes, was most of the time late.
Historical as always. I really thought that UPS truck was going to try to pass the Cayman!
Any guest: "And here's this cool performance feature that does this unique thing"
Jay: "And that reminds me of a 1955 Ford Fairlane because you could just turn the wheel and it would change the direction of the front wheels"
"This new long tail McLaren is smooth and relaxing to drive." I forget, could he ever 'drive' any of the cars he owns? My 84 year old neighbor who loves her little doggie could match his enthusiasm behind the wheel of these cars I've seen him in over the past year.
The stories are what makes his car videos great.
But point taken 🤣🤣
@@davida.737 Jay doesn't need to drive the cars he owns. His guests bring great cars over and he drives theirs. What a great gig..
@@davida.737do you ever listen to him speak? He definitely “drives” his cars.
For one, most of the cars he drives on the show do not belong to him, or they’re antiques and not meant to be driven too harshly.
But he talks about his own cars, how he daily drives some of his super cars, etc. And one of his best stories is how he had his McClaren at a show, and these rough looking biker type guys were staring at it and asking him about it. One even asked to go for a ride, and Jay obliged. Jay says he took the guy through a tunnel, absolutely nailed it and got it to like 120 like it was nothing, and then they got pulled over by a cop. As Jay tells it, he’s sweating bullets as the cop walks up, ready to be in trouble. Then the biker looking guy pulls out his badge and tells the patrol officer “it’s all good son, I’m off duty detective so and so…” Turns out the rough looking dude was a cop with some pull, and the patrol officer that pulled them over let them go despite going twice the limit. 😂. So Jay definitely “drives.” He just doesn’t get crazy with experimental vehicles or those that are not his own.
His show. Don’t watch.
I have to say this was one of my favorite episodes because you guys are so close as friends. Just fantastic! Cheers Jay!
As much as I have loved 911's over the decades, when the Boxter came along I knew Porsche was evolving in the right direction. They're adding the Cayman to the Boxter platform just moved this car right to the top shelf, in my opinion. Intelligent engineering is such a pleasure to see here. :)
As a previous owner of GT4, these cars are awesome. But you do need to acknowledge that on a new 992 GT3 it's got a way more sophisticated suspension than this car. Front wishbone setup, rear A-arm multilink, and rear axle steering. As good as a GT4RS is, it still can't keep up at the 'ring with a 992 GT3.
@@993mike both amazing cars, but I find the ring times to be about the least important thing I can think of for a car that is primarily going to be a road car - at least for me! This definitely seems like the sweet spot in the Porsche lineup.
I loved the part when Jay was gently reminded about the "break in period"... amazing!
I drove a 911 GT3 RS and a Cayman GT4 RS back to back at Dominion raceway in Thornburg, VA, and while the 911 feels bigger all around, the GT4 feels bigger in the seat but smaller all around. It's hard to describe, but the Cayman was more comfortable than the 911. It wasn't quite as fast around the track as the 911, but the 911 had rear wheel steering and a bit more herspers, but the Cayman "felt" better driving around the track. Both are fantastic cars!
Awesome Shows!
Thank You Jay Leno!👍🏻
Thanks again Jay, great show. Are you guys trying to make us Brits and Aussies feel at home? I definitely heard boot and bonnet used more than once. You’re getting it right!
How nice of Jay to call Spike and Jerry his Porsche guys considering Jay was the one that convinced both of them to buy their first Porsches. Jay owns most of the best Porsches ever made, including the 918 Spyder and Carrara GT. I don’t think he actually needs anyone to give him advice about that brand lol.
I was told by my Porsche dealer that there was no “break in” period with a high performance car.
I love this show! Man! I knew Jay was crazy about cars, and grew up watching him. But this is my
Favorite part about Jay. He built a great collection and respected every car and I would love to see his garage. This is the Jay I kinda knew about, but I love this.
Great car. No idea how they didn’t realize front axle lift was up the whole time.
It automatically goes down at around 30mph so I doubt it was up the entire time
@marklyons6449 He was talking about in Jay's showroom while talking about the car... would have looked a lot better with FAL down.
It looks great either way, whether up or down.
And I hate that
It goes down automatically once you go faster
The cayman is my favorite, pure driving fun.
Great episode. Spike and Jay together are an awesome combo. And that car is perfectly speced.
I love that! " never get on a motorcycle when your running late" words of wisdom! Ill keep that in mind!❤
If I was in the market for a Porsche, this would be the one. Very good looking and mid engine. Nice spec.
“Special Wishes” sounds like a code for something extra when getting a massage
I have a '14 Cayman S and the only problem with it is that I don't think I will be able to ever find another car quite as good.
Great video!
Cayman’s are seriously underrated
I found my 2014 Cayman S in October. I love this car!!! The sound is amazing.
Likewise for our 981 Boxster GTS, it’s just a perfect car!
Cayman is the gem
Gt4rs
Hi Jay. You probably won’t see this comment, but if you do, your episodes with the off the street car (the ones you spot on the street and invite to your show) are really fun to watch. Hoping to see you do those again. Thanks.
Had the chance to go for some hot laps in the gt4rs clubsport with professional racecar driver Kay Van Berlo, around Barber Motorsports Park. HOLY F*** these cars are absolutely insane fast. Words can not describe the sensation these cars give you when they are driven at the limit. Jay should go for a ride💪💪
Barber motorsports park is great. Do you live in the Ham?
Porsche Cayman any year is my favorite.
Jay: The average person can't do what this car is capable of.
UPS Driver: Let's goooo grandpa!
That is a great car Jay thank Spike for bringing it for the show.
The Porsche was sweet! Thank you for sharing!
💯👍
Jay could do over a year's worth of Videos with just the Vehicles in his collection.
that sound is marvelous!! this was one of my favs, just laughing all the time while hearing a Porsche roar
Love the extended drive.
I bought one. I love it. Prefer it to most 911 GT3 models. The cabin does get hot if you don't put air con on. The sound of the engine when it gets to 9000rpm is spine tingling.
Hey! How are you using your GT4 RS? Are you driving it on the street, or just tracking it? I have a 718 GTS 4.0. It’s magical. But I possibly have a chance of getting a GT4 RS with no markup. I question if I should do it because I drive 75% daily and 25% track. The GTS does that well, but the GT4 RS is banana. But I wonder if the GTS is better suited for what I do
"Respect the break-in period." That reminds me of a time when I was driving my buddy's new car to South Carolina with him. He got so pissed at me for not avoiding every pothole!
Thank you Mr. Leno for another amazing car review🙏🏽
Never heard of him before, never listened to his show, but that pickleball comment instantly turned me into a fan.
Now, I just need to be rich and famous with a co-owner to get into one. I was excited that this was around $140k, but I don't think I could ever find one at that price.
That is a beast! Just beautiful
Great episode, fantastic to see spike on there, I would hang onto this spike. This car is the right size for a Porsche
“….and you don’t want to do that… too often”.
Classic. 😎
I like the fact that people like Jay Leno exist because I love vehicles and I get to learn about types and a test drive on vehicles that I would not otherwise.
I’ve been waiting for this one, great to see Jay and Spike. Plan Z GT4RS looks awesome.
Spikes car radio fan here! "Gimme da money" (Zuckerman voice)
Jay is definitely old school with the analysis of letting the car warm up first before you pull off.
Considering the breadth of what he drives, it's a good rule of thumb.
I'm 30, and I don't understand what the rush is with letting a modern car warm up even if it doesn't have a carburetor .😅
Yeah, don’t. With EFI & direct port injection, the cold tolerances are just allowing more blowby. In earlier motors (10 yrs ago) there was cylinder washing from richer mixture. Start it, put it in gear, get going. Keep it under 4k , modest changes in throttle until the needles move; under 6k until they’re centered. Heat the metal and fluids in motion, together. Then drive it like you stole it.
It probably isn't necessary in modern vehicles, but it just feels 'wrong' not to warm them up. I don't put one in gear til the temperature needle moves, and I give it very little throttle til it's at operating temperature. It might not help, but I don't think it could possibly hurt and it makes me feel better.
It's good for first building up the mystery and anticipation of that first deep pull on the engine.
Love your shows
Love the comment about pickle ball! “We don’t even talk about pickle ball. It’s not even a sport, it’s a cruise ship game”
Had a 16 Boxster Spyder and multiple air cooled 911s. I always thought the boxster/cayman was the wife’s Porsche. After having the Spyder I’m hooked on them. Cant imagine owning a 4RS or a Spyder RS. Must be a blast. Thanks for the show.
I hear you. I’ve got a 981 Spyder as well and if the new Spyder RS came with a manual transmission, I’d consider selling the 981 and getting the RS. For now will not get rid of my 981, it’s just too good of a car!
I've owned a 981 Spyder since 2016. Nowadays I have a GT4 RS as well. The way the 981 Spyder howls, bangs and pops is just from another world. The 4RS's exhaust note is just a hollow shadow to it. But of course the engine screams in the 4RS like nothing else. Very different cars but both the best ones Porsche has produced in last 20 years - or more.
Manual Spyder is the ticket
I just love those mountains in the shots, just beautiful. Wish I had those for my driving shots.
I can hardly Wait!
@13:11 is one of the coolest moments ever.
@20:42 also what a legendary line.
Beautiful spec!!!
Built for the Road, thanks Jay. 😎👍😎
What a fantastic bit of kit. Wish I could afford one.
Jay always looks like he's trying to see over the hood when driving 😂
Wow. Enjoyed this one. I think I might have seen this RS when I was servicing my 718 spyder at Clearwater.
After owning a dc2 Integra gsr with a fuel cut off of 9300, I've been addicted to na high reving cars. An absolute blast to drive. 718 gt4 is near too of the lists of cars I'd love to own
I enjoy Jay, cause he is humble with an old school class.
Still the best bang for the buck. Unreal performance.
Beautiful car for the fortunate few.
I'll just have to be content with my Hyundai Elantra.
+1 .. Silver alloys oh yeah, a tasteful GT4 RS build. .. That's what were taking about !!
This guy is awesome. Great sense of humor.
What a great guest!
Sold my 911 for a GT4.... My God what a car and the RS takes it further.
There's a company called GOLD LEAF lightweight performance who just came out with an RS style airbox and intake for the GT4.
The sound is insane! th-cam.com/video/Xccyhw2xpFU/w-d-xo.html
Too broke to keep a 911 😅
@@ormand3000Pathetic.
Spike: “Respect the break in period.”
Jay: “What break in period?” Respectfully ignores the break in period.
What a beautiful car.
awesome car, one of my favorite modern sports cars, really a track weapon.
Great video. thanks Jay.
A compelling Cayman, great color. Spike is a good guest. The price, in case you were wondering, is somewhat north of $150K, depending on the enhancements.
There is no break in for the RS cars from Porsche. They actually run in the engines before they ever get placed in the car. I confirmed this with
Porsche when I picked up my GT4 RS. Great episode, gentlemen! Thank you!
the manual would disagree with you, but do what you like.
@@tloderyup lol and tell that to the dealer when he voided the warranty lol😅
lol low key flex (but that's social for ya)
Great company. Love, Dennis.
The sound alone!!!!
Mr. Leno, you just attained god-like status to me. I have only ever had one cup of coffee, I thought I was alone on this earth.
Me too, and I drive a blue 911!
Same, coffee and tea are gross I don't understand how people enjoy it
GREAT episode! My boy Spike done good
It sounds glorious!
Oh my = that sounds amazing 😻= it’s beautiful a work of art
Caymans are growing on me so much. Thinking about getting a 987 or 981 in the near future
Just picked up a 2017 Cayman S.......best car I've ever owned!
Jay is right, no break in period. These engines are attached to dynamometers first before installing in the car to make sure the correct HP is achieved. It’s the PDK that needs break in not the engine.
Spot on! This was told to me when I picked up my 2017 Cayman S.
Jay leno the man the myth the legend
surprised Jay didn't edit out the 4:42 --- "and I got the 2017 Porsche (Ford) GT..." - and I actually expected to see a Porsche on film, lol - Got ME!
"You know, oil is a hot liquid." I truly LOL'd!
Very interesting! Nice looking and fun!
That GT4 sounds incredible
What a spec just marvelous !!
🏆Jay Leno🏆🍀King of Cars 😎✌️
"Our friend from New York" is a great nickname.
I still think a C2S 992.1 is about the best of the 911. Clean and simple and more than enough power for daily use. Just bought a 2023 in Thailand with 21 additional features in GT silver metallic. Simply beautiful. Do not envy others with special variants. The car is very expensive in Thailand. Cost me more than what buyers in Europe or U.S. pay for a Turbo S or even a GTS. Envy you guys price wise.
Oslo Blue FTW! God I want one 💯🚀
Jay, ever had a 1994 or 5 CB1000? The torque is breathtaking, fastest production bike 0-60 for 10 years. Nobody could touch it until finally BMW got by a 10nth or two . My favorite bike that I have ever owned.
It’s amazing how little Spike knows about his car.
for example, on what issue?
The world has enough “experts.”
Just read these “replies.”
The owners own, the prosers write…..
@@bobmclauchlan8636clown
Love this spec
That thing sounds amazing!
Great Show Again
Great guest!
So many things to consider but I will state my own preference. The engine is where it belongs, IN THE MIDDLE!!! Look at the record of how Colin Chapman solved handling issues. Truly weird is that the Pontiac Fiero was supposed to be sized to fit the Buick Grand National engine. Then a car that turns on rails as described by Julia Roberts character when talking about the Lotus Esprit. Did I mention that the engine belongs in the middle if one wants performance.?
I’d love a Dakar in Newzealand. So many back roads!
Sweet Car!
Jay amazing show and amazing cars, thank you for a great times.. Try iced coffee😂
No one caught Jay saying “2017 Porsche GT” when he meant Ford GT at 4:40
More likely it’s such an obvious slip of the tongue that no one apart from yourself cared enough to comment on it…
Jay, I have even more respect for you since you also do not like hot, bitter liquids. 🙂
Love the colors
Beautiful car
Iced coffee J it's good seeing a couple of guys from Massachusetts doing well in California I actually went to school with Spike
Buddy of mine has one of these and he loves it. When specking his car, he did order the Weissach package but could not get himself to spring for the magnesium wheels-$17,000!
Absolutely dream car
