      Totally awesome. The reality is a lot of people buying these cars watch these videos where as the high view videos are kids and are actually less useful to the manufacturers. Video like this with 10k views is golden advertising and plus just quality footage.

    Video does this car no justice; I saw one in person this weekend in red and my jaw dropped who ever designed this car needs a raise. This thing looks exotic and just as good if not better looking then a gt3, gt2rs, gt3rs.

    Wow, the 0-60 (3.9) is only a few tenths faster than my base 718 with PDK (4.2). It’s crazy how fast the base models have gotten & how close all the models are in acceleration times. Everything else about the GT4 is sooooo much better though, nice video.

      I have a 981 GT4 with Fabspeed sport headers and it sounds amazing. I got to hear the 718 GT4 last week and it sounded great in person. If you want more sound, there will be aftermarket options available soon. It seems to me that people just like to find something to bitch about.

    Great driving mate.
    Between the GT350 and the GT4 which car is the most fun-to-drive both on the street and track.
    They both sound amazing, handle really well.
    I owned a Boxster for 10 years and liked it a lot.
    I can't decide which one to get although the GT350 is half the price of the GT4 so I'm leaning that way.

    Great driving sequences - Randy knows what he’s doing out there 😉! It didn’t sound like he was flat shifting in the 0-60 & 1/4 mi runs though. I thought that this was programmed in for both the manual 991.2 GT3, as well as the GT4...

    • @SuryaDe
      @SuryaDe 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@danielahlquist2660 yeah I agree but I also think there's a sweet spot to being loud and melodious. Of course varies for everyone. Having driven the f type and having heard it the exhaust it got tiring pretty fast for me personally. And also the controls on the f type felt like there was a sponge in between the controls. I couldn't get along with it. I'm sure they've improved it over the years but boy did I want to like it but I went with the Spyder instead. Right amount of noise and pops. However I'm not too keen on the new 718 sound and I'm hoping if I place my order by the time I get my pdk equipped Spyder there a good aftermarket exhaust for it that let's the car sound better.
