    This should be the definition of "it was worth the wait". Nice to have you back Dan, amazing video and the music with no talking gives it a totally new dramatic effect. By the way, LOVE the new intro. As a side note, I don't see the car on the fast list, but it would also make it easier to find if the tested car was a different color for that specific week.

    Not bad for a N/A motor. Keeps up with somenof today's stuff. If I remember, the main competitor for this car was the 4C back when it came out in 2015.

    • @ApothecaryTerry
      @ApothecaryTerry 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Um, this didn't come out in 2015 and the main competitor wasn't a 4C. I say this with confidence because I just bought a 2013 981 Cayman S and was looking at the real main competitor- the Jaguar F-Type. The 4C is more of a competitor to the Lotus Elise, it's more focused on lightness and isn't such a great daily.

    Welcome back Dan. Glad to be here for season 2! I’ll be looking for my poster in every episode from now on!
    Honestly every color that Porsche makes never ceases to amaze me.
    That’s a dope racing suit
    Nice sound from that flat 4!
    The gearing is quite long for it being an NA auto. Strange. It does rev out to 9,000 though.
    I’m missing the narration right about now.
    So silent...
    Thanks for this music. Brought a tear to my eye.
    No offense, but I feel like this episode lacked any point, but, it left that up to the viewer’s imagination. I feel like season 2 is going to be, strange, indeed.
    Also, I mean, for a 4 minute vid, this is a decently-sized essay i presume. I can’t wait to see what car is next. Definitely waiting on a future TTRS track video though. Would be cool to see its performance on a track vs an rs3. Maybe just an idea ;)

    • @SpeedLabsTV
      @SpeedLabsTV  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Glad to be back bro! Season 2 is just a fancy term until I decide I need to take a break again from the channel 😄
      Don’t worry, your poster will make consistent cameos. I have them set up in strategic places. Actually, did you notice it in this episode?
      Not gonna lie though, I hate yellow cars but this Porsche yellow really does pop and isn’t like that taxi cab yellow.
      This is actually the flat 6 brother. Next week I’ll explain why it’s not the new 718 gen with the flat 4. The redline is about 7600RPM but the car shifts around 7700-7800 RPM but those shifts are quick even if they don’t sound like it. I’m going to do these more cinematic bits with little or no talking because frankly, that’s what I always wanted to do. I will mix it up with straight up reviews though. You’ll see next week like I said.

    I love 981, but 982 are on another lvl when it comes to speed and handling.
    Yes it is only a 4 pot but that does not bother me a bit.
    And turbos are not overrated when it comes to performance, 60-130 in my 718 gts takes 10.7 sec
    So it effects the performance slightly.
