It's so refreshing watching your emotion when driving cars that you like. Literally every other automotive journalist has become jaded and unemotional regardless of what they drive. I hope you keep this enthusiasm.
U always looking for refreshing 😂 what u looking for is not normal human behavior
you heard of doug demuro?
You do GREAT reviews, in particular, its good to get the great background to the history of a vehicle and why its worthy to consider buying, like here.
I think that comes from teaching high school history for 18 years!
@@RaitisRides absolutely yes the Cayman is way way better than the 911 in terms of styling because I love the Cayman better than the 911 and I also love the Panamera the Cayenne the Macan and the brand new Taycan here is a fun fact everyone should know that Porsches was my first favorite car when I was in preschool man I loved Porsche it was because I used to live by a Porsche dealership in Beachwood Ohio and I love and remember that dealership ever since and I will be working there to drive Porsches or other cars in the service bay and absolutely yes the Cayman GT4 outperforms the 911 in my opinion
“Hey guys what’s up it’s Joe Raiti from Raiti’s Rides...” when you hear those words you know it’s gonna be a good video
Thanks Charles for having my back!
My favorite words is... On Throttle
Nobody says "front fascia" like my man Raiti.
@@rcDoom Haha... True that!.... ON THROTTLE !!!!
@@rcDoomON THROTTLE!!! HERE WE GO!
Probably the single best car review I have seen ever.
Thanks for saying that brother!
The way you described the car to the frontal lobe… that hit different.. one of the greatest moments on your channel..
Wow, Raiti always has good things to say, but when he's shouting with excitement, that's when you know he's truly enjoying the car 😉
You know me better than I know myself!
Joe always makes my day better. What a character.
Why can't Americans makes cars that are as great as the European brands? Just pure amazement!!! On throttle!!! Ich liebe Deutschland!!!
No way! A PDK GT4!? I never thought I’d see the day!
I feel the same way!
Naw not surprised it replaced a legend the yellow bird or RS . This is second to the 911 Turbo but over the naturally aspirated C4S! Great bargain and car!
Why would they not put the superior pdk in the car? Why would they hobble the can by only offering the inferior manual? Are you two guys stupid?
@8pm sometimes better, faster isn't the best option. The fun experience a big part of the car.
If you want the slower GT4, become a Shift Monkey at No Extra Cost. Manual Monkeys see PDK savings as simply more options.
Man! That color is striking and that engine is one hell of a masterpiece. What an amazing driver's car.
Awesome review of my favourite Porsche automobile they offer in their vehicle lineup. The Cayman GT4 is literal perfection from Porsche that is in line with the Porsche heritage on the track. Loved your excitement! Was smiling with you all the way! Great videography too and the final edit made it so enjoyable! 💯🙌
The video that I have been waiting for! Thanks Joe and Lori!
That colour pops! I bet people were staring! Absolutely love it. Thanks for all you do, Lori!
That thing is a beauty real masterpiece
I totally agree with you!
@@RaitisRides yea probably one of my favourite Porsches out there 👍
@@yes8032 Good taste!
@@RaitisRides Joe this is your best review ever. Ive seen em all.
Wow that Cayman GT4 handled all of those corners so well and those downshifts were just something else would have been better to hear you rev matching in that 6 speed
Trust me if I bought one I am going 6-speed manual!
@@RaitisRides oh yeah 6 speed is the right route
Nice car. I would like to ride on that one when I"m older.
That Porsche feel is something you can never duplicate. The NA response time with the motor and the handling make it a more visceral experience than driving say a hellcat. Porsche keeps driver and the center of their focus and it shows. You see this thing in the rear view mirror and you might as well move over lol
This kind of car is so far out of my league, I dont care to watch the beginning of the video. I just forward to the test drive to see Joe's pure joy, excitement and satisfaction driving a car like this.. Its great every time.
You know a car is special when you hear Raiti giggle and squirm while giving us the "On throttle "... hell yeah!
I said this a while back
To all car manufacturers... if Joe laughs out loud, you done good😂
If he just laughs, then it's ok
Just a smile=death😂🤘🏾
@@beastmaster415 right on... I totaly agree
Super sharpe and I love the color green on it. The tinted windows and black rims really make it stand out with the color.
I am so glad that you are digging this one.
@@RaitisRides I’m definitely glad I am too. I love the green stitching in the car as well.
Any car that interests me, first thing i do is go to TH-cam and type the model and Raiti's rides, you never disappoint ❤️
I love you're enthusiasm. It's hard to stop and return the car. Greetings from the netherlands.
Dont know what it is about this guy but whenever im interested in a car a naturally gravitate towards his vids.
I drove the European Porsche Boxter 718s with the 2.5 turbo engine and 360hp (not tuned) and that was a quick and better ride then the 911.
Awesome video, great conclusion, love the positive energy, keep going 💪🏻💯🏆
The gt4 is better than a base 911 and even 911 carerra S. In order to get that true 911 experience of perfection, you gotta get a GTS and above.
If I could have any currently made Porsche this is probably the one. We Turo'd a 718 GTS it was absolutely amazing I can only imagine how this would drive.
Nice to have options for sure!
That gt4 is so thrilling and exciting to drive than the c8 corvette
What I love about every Porsche I've ever driven is the USEABLE power band. It pulls & pulls until you think it's done, then she PULLS more! 😁
I love the videos. I'm a car guy without the car guy money. I live vicariously through you Joe! Man this car is insane
Keep working hard. There are enthusiast cars for most budgets.
@@Cgee3 I have a Type R 2018 but Porsche 911 Turbo S is a dream!
@@kevstr432 yea the Turbo S is my dream car also. I have a 2018 Stinger GT2.
A coworker of mine paid $1200 to do the Porsche driving experience. He got to drive a 911 Turbo S and a Pdk GT3 on the track for 2 hours. He said it’s worth every penny and has already signed up to do another.
@@Cgee3 Jesus FC that's what I love to hear. That may be in my near future but hopefully Doge and Safemoon will allow me to purchase the car. Tell your coworker I'm jealous to the max. Please send videos!
@@kevstr432 he also owns a C7 Z06. I live vicariously through him.
Hey Joe awesome video!!! Love the GT4!!! I have had 17 Porsches, my last two were 911 with PDK tranny. I am ordering a SPYDER and will be getting the PDK so my wife can drive it too. Here in Washington DC the traffic is constantly hideous so she stresses when driving a manual so I cave on the manual for the PDK so I don’t receive marital conflict as I get multiple cars. My daily is a 911 Turbo S. Was waiting for the ZO6 but the SPYDER has won out over the C8. I like the green color but my Porsches are either red or yellow or silver. Keep on doing amazing reviews!!!!
All hail the king of car reviews!! All hail the queen of the camera!! Thx Joe and Lori for bringing this out to the channel!!!
Nobody does it like Joe.
Lori KILLED on catching all those beautiful lines!!!!!
Thanks!
Are you going to review the 992 GT3 that just dropped?
Personally I like the GT3 rear/front light styling but love the GT4 fascia/rear diffuser/rear intake vents, mid engine, hatchback design. Take the lights from the GT3 and put them on the GT4, is there an aftermarket option for that?
Quick answer: yes.
Longer answer: the (non RS) 911 has become the rich(er) old man's car they drive 10 mph below the speed limit on days it's guaranteed not to rain.
The Cayman GT4 is now the car to get for guys that can't quite afford a 911 GT3 RS and want to use it like it should. On a track.
A 4.0L flat 6 cylinder super engine
You better believe it!
My own personal dream car. Yes the 911 is faster, but I think this looks better, and unless I track it, the 911's extra speed doesn't mean much.
Joe, you basically already sold me a GT350. About to sell me a GT4 also lol
I wish the Mustang was same size and weight! That would be great wouldn’t it?
Never been driven a Porsche but I'm happy because of your reaction joe love Porsche 😘😍💕🤗
You are so right: it sounds like an old F1which is the best compliment you can give to any car!!
You are so very right Ben!
Wow this Porsche color is sick! The GT-4 is such a nice car. Amazing, straight forward review Joe, keep it up man!
That is so very true! Thanks for letting me bring it to you!
Yea the color looks crazy
I am having fun just watching you doing the throttle.
ON THROTTLE !!!!!
One of these in Chalk would be the car that I will for sure one day get for my garage. Motivates me to work harder every single day.
This is what you call as quality car journalism!
Getting a 2022 spyder. Trying to decide on comfort seats or carbon buckets.
Joe can do a review on a blank piece of paper and people will want to buy it when in reality its free x) lol
Raiti...you are one of the best reviewers on youtube!
Thanks man! I appreciate your support!
Thanks Joe for a proper review of my dream car. Both the launch control scenes are epic, peak Raiti's Rides material. Hope Porsche becomes aware of what a great review you've done here.
I thought for sure you were going to cry. That is one fun car to drive.
Such an underrated amazing car and the PDK is amazing for it!
Even better with three pedals.
I wish they updated the manual for shorter gears ...the gears are way too long you can go to 80mph in 2nd gear that's no fun ,I want to go though multiple gears before getting arrested 😂
There you go!
I love manuals but PDK is on a next level.
Skip gears
you can change the final drive
I was thinking about upgrading my q50 to a Porsche this is just the vid I needed thanks joe
18:26 You were going crazy! I love it!
This Porsche is something else!
Perfect race car
You better believe it!
I’ve read the manual is geared to high for street fun. The PDK is the proper choice. The sounds are amazing just awesome. The looks are not my thing in green. Maybe black would help. Thanks for the fun drive and sounds.
what a beast , exhaust is awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
Wish I can upgrade from my nothing to this or similar 🥲😅 nice vids btw
Hey Joe Zonking 8:48 I can't see The engine.
I feel your pain!
You have the best job in the world. Love your channel
Still happy from my 2016 2l macan.
Such an amazing car and nice color too
😊😊
Nice review joe 👍👍
Thanks for letting me bring it to you!
781 right? Also what's up with those painted side intakes?? They usually aren't painted, I don't think they can come like that
Love that color! Sammy hagar was driving a Ferrari when he did " I can't drive 55" 😆
I love the car but have to zonk the sports chrono. You spend money on a long list of options to include white faces gauges, why leave off the sports chrono? It looks like an aftermarket gauge added like back in the 60s and 70s.
It needs the bucket seats and I would take it in gentain blue. What a stunning colour
Going to upgrade from my Porsche Cayman base to this model by end of the year
Nicely done! I am about to get a Carbon Flash splitter for my C8. Why no gloss in the front? Should I get the matte PPF ?
Sounds like Mr Raiti knows a little something about Gaping Holes ....🤔🙀😁
Joe how are you I saw this video and it is a really good video is the there a spyder version of the porsche cayman gt4
Definitely one of my dream cars. Thanks for the review Joe always great.
I like the green watch he has on as well.
Thanks for sating that!
That's how you test a car!!! Raitis that car would imagine in white and black or Blue 🔵 . Damn it Porsche one again they did it.
Joe, you have earned a sub. Been watching for awhile but haven't subbed until now. I just bought a Hellcat Redeye and it's influenced me to educate myself on other cars, and you're the guy who helps me out in that category! One video I would love is if you did a "Top 5 Favorite Raiti's Rides" video and explain what the top 5 cars you have driven so far were and why....There might be some huge content potential there! Just my .02 as I enjoy your passion and energy!
14:31 cloth door handles that so cool I’ve never seen that
Only in the GT models.
The best part!!! 21:52 😁😁🤣🤣... joe never forget your towel and less with a beast like this ... impressive speed and how precise the PDK is
Always love the vids joe! You’re hilarious! Try to find us a GTR Nismo 🙏
Yes please get us a nismo gtr
“Where’s my towel.” 😂
Love joes enthusiasm.
I love these super car reviews you do. The way you have the camera and the roads you drive on, I legit feel like I’m in the car.... I grab my couch cushion thinking it’s the Oh S bar on some of those corners lol
Joe what a great review.
What a car!
You must have a great relationship with local LEO's the way you're blowing around the same area here. Ha! I love it.
You had too much fun drive that and it showed. If you enjoyed that Porsche that much the person who wins it won’t know what to do with themselves when hit that pedal and go “ON Throttle!”😎
You are so right about that!
i truly love this color with hints of matte black... what a beauty.
will the gt4 have the option of AWD?
It really fits the GT4!
The gt4 will never have AWD
@@benwalsh6758 yeah, didn't think it would but I could dream
@@zumezoom9593 it would increase the weight of the car by at least 100 kg and it would ruin the handling
@@benwalsh6758 maybe.. but handling is all about the driver skils
17:27 ON THROTTLE!!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! IT SOUNDS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Hold on super tight!
Does our boy Raiti get a commission from the junk food vendors for the name drops????😂
I love it my boy Joe keep up the work and I love the video lot real true and funny 😄😆🤣good 💯👍
Went to local dealer today. Can't buy a GT4. Why you ask? I'd need to have bought some other Porsches from them in order to be considered as a potential owner of a GT series car.... Okay, could I get a GTS 4.0? Maybe, except there's currently a stop sale order on all the 4.0 cars due to con rod issue...
Thanks for all the great content joe..Watching these vids always bring a smile to my face..
So saved weight by not having door handles...but you added a twinkie tray?
I went to school with a guy named Al Cantara. He was very stubborn and opinionated. He could not be suede!
Pity like ;-)
Awesome channel. You earned yourself a new subscriber!!
Its like impossible to buy. Dealers don't have any slots available around me for a build. Maybe in 2022?
This is so very true!
Nobody can say this looks bad because it’s just the best
9:01 that 4.0L is not from the 911 to my understanding. Is it not the 3.0L turbo engine, bored and N/A?
This just makes me more excited for the GT4 RS to come out!
If I got a Porsche it would be this model. Exactly as reviewed by the Man Raiti himself
Same man I mean I like the 911 a lot but I just feel like this one is sleeker and stylish
Sounds like a plan brother!
great review as always Joe
Damn, that color POPS
Tell me about it!
hell ya, i want my 300S in that color! i guess you can get a wrap in that color
I Love This Colour From Cayman GT4
Yup. Man. Maybe one day. Porsche is still top of the game. This car is 10 out of 10
Such an awesome car Joe, one I could only dream of owning. But your in depth reviews and on throttle action make you feel like you are right there in the passenger seat with you. Thx for making this all feel like a touch of reality.
Is this car good for daily? Is the suspension harsh? I saw you can switch modes "PDK Sport" ? Be good to have some insight on comparing it with the standard GTS 4.0.
Just drove mine from Houston back to Fort Worth with the full carbon bucket seats. Definitely would it recommended as a daily driver. GTS will be a bit more “luxe” and comfortable for daily use. Just my opinion so take it for what it’s worth. Amazing fun nonetheless.
