2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S MANUAL vs 2010 Porsche 911 Carrera S // The $100K Divide

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ส.ค. 2020
  • This is the new 2020 911 Carrera S, and today it meets its elder, the 2010 997 911 Carrera S which costs less and offers naturally aspirated thrills. Both have a flat-six engine, a manual gearbox, and take the shape of an icon. Equipped with turbos, the new one does 0-60 in 4.2 seconds with the manual, and 3.7 seconds with the PDK. So can the old one stack up? Is the new one worth the massive premium? James and Thomas jump behind the wheel of both to experience them and discuss them inside and out. Watch and enjoy!
    Thanks to the legendary Muneesh for allowing us to use his 997 AND his wonderful 993.
    And thanks to Porsche True North for putting us in touch!

    Reviewing high end cars and comparing them to their more financially accessible counterparts is a good way to go. You give us the best of both worlds, the cutting edge of today and the hidden treasures on the secondary market.
    Everyone of those cars was amazing, and you showed appreciation for them all.
    Well done.

      J S it’s fascinating to see how far cars have come but also highlight some of the reasons why enthusiasts like older cars, e.g. for their hydraulic steering or mechanical simplicity

      @@neelparmar6690 I went on a rant the other day about older cars. Not so much that they are better than the technological wonders of today, because they aren't, but because they made us better drivers. There's more to driving than just getting from A to B on the highway fast.
      These days, lane keep assist is ubiquitous, adaptive cruise has made is to you don't even need to touch the pedals, and you can parallel park by touching a button. I know people who have never been behind the wheel of anything older than a 2005 Ford F-150. They don't know how to drive with no power steering. They don't know about life without being able to hook up their phones to the stereo. It's funny, how so many drivers cry over the looming loss of manual transmissions, when they never really drive on their own anyway.
      Those old cars made us part of the drive. The immediacy of driving them was not unlike riding a motorcycle. We were part of the road and the world around us in a way we can't be in modern cars. The connection to the road was direct, and there was less safety gear to separate us from the experience.
      This is why it's great to see the side by side between the modern and the old. It shows how far we have come and what we used to consider state of the art. And Thomas and James did a wonderful job of describing the sensations of old compared to the sleek new experience.
      Thanks for taking the time to contribute on the way things were.

      @@JS-hw8ve I agree with you. My first manual "sporty" car was a 1985 VW GTI which I purchased new. It was featured in Motor Trend's , "Car of the Year", that year and 2 years later I traded in for a 1987 16V GTI which was the 3rd car in my life up until then that I modified. That thing did not have power steering and didn't need it. It was standard and handled amazingly well and was fast even by today's standards....for a hot hatch. I loved driving it and I lived in Toronto where the roads were amazing compared to Montreal where I moved back to in 1987.

    • @JS-hw8ve

      @@xorbitman Good on you, bud. I didn't know what a "hot hatch" was until much later. Where I am from, the sports car guys and muscle car guys had less friendly names for that type of car.
      My own opinion on a person's car is a lot more welcoming, and comes from understanding where they come from, and what the use of them would be.
      Asia and Europe are tighter, more compact, with narrower roads, so handling and maneuverability were important.
      North America has lots of space and vast distances to cross, so power was at a premium, as well as comfort for long, long rides.
      Then there's taxes and other issues to contend with.
      As long as your car does what you need it to do, safely, then you have a damn fine car. And I do so love me a good Golf. The platform is far more comfortable than the last Jetta I was in. Was looking at buying one of the 2020 Golf Rs back in Nov.

      My 997.1 sleeps during the winter, and I don't take it to work. Both other than that I drive it as much as I can. 16 years and the car still feels fantastic.
      I was given a Cayenne loaner when I took it into for service. The interior is light years ahead of my car. But when I'm driving it, I really don't feel I'm missing too much.
      And yes, every driving enthusiast should try a 911 at some point. Even if it is the dreaded 996. One that has been taken care of is still a fantastic car to drive.

      To me, that gen also feels pretty lively and engaging, while balancing both digital and analogue, which the analogue part does take over for the MOST part of the car, not entirely. Yeah, it misses the Hydraulic steering, but still has a very confident EPAS rack. Though, it would be wonderful to see Porsche returning to Hydraulic power assist racks.

      @@coreykononchuk dope! Great summation. I saw a really inexpensive 2005 recently that got me thinking. I really don't need the car but basically it's cheaper than buying a new or used 86/FR-S, so I could essentially use it as a fun beater. Only thing is consumables and maintenance don't make sense in that capacity. Again, I really don't need the car but damn I low-key want it (also, rather, in comparison, I'm putting the 911 against a 2001 RT/10 which would be a completely different and rad experience).
