Everybody is different...that's what makes the world go 'round. So, that said I REALLY appreciate the time you took to make these (Porsche) vids. I am currently in the market for a street Porsche. I race/track a Trans Am GT1 Mustang so I've got the, "wild hair," covered. I also have a twin turbo 964-based RSR (by Patrick Motorsports...don't EVER go there...took 3 1/2 years to get my car back after which it ran for one day and died) which is quite visceral. So, I am quite lucky...and I know it (not really that rich but no kids and a prenup on the ex OK?). But still, like a lot of guys out there I've loved Porsche's my while life and would like a special one to take and see my best bud (50 years best friends) and girl. That means street time. I've ALWAYS been hard core on the driving experience, but now that I"m 56 (and am fortunate enough to have car other wishes filled) I think I'm leaning toward a (used) Turbo S. I offer up this in the same vein as our host: to provide insight, and help with the angst of laying down a LARGE sum of $ on something you hope will be happy with (kinda like a wife hugh?). So, to keep it brief I think we need a summary here: 1. Turbo S's are GREAT cars that can be had in today's market AT A DISCOUNT (see Jalopnick. "Why you should buy a Turbo S Instead of a GT3 RS) 2. For street cars GT3's have A LOT of road noise. 3. Manual's beat auto's (any auto) on the street. 4. I wish I had paddle shifters and anti-lock on my Trans Am car. 5. If you think a Turbo is a, "whistle wagon," (I did) you can straight pipe it. 6. Porsche is NOW making room for batteries in their next gen 911 (Porsche has said battery tech has not become efficient enough to start putting them in their sports cars...but they're coming). So today's cars (especially the normally aspirated ones) are going away. 7. Adding power to a turbo car is like rolling off a log (easy), all you need is a software upgrade (try that with a GT3...) 8. I LOVE GT3's and will probably never own one. 9. An FBI buddy was giving me advice on buying a gun. He asked, "what's the mission?" I took his advice on my purchase and was so impressed with the simplicity I applied it elsewhere...You should too when you buy your next ride. You are welcome...
I drove a Turbo S on the track at the Porsche driving school at Barber Motorsports Park near Birmingham. I liked it a lot. I liked it better than the GTS on the track and yeah, I know that is odd. Launch control was face smearing. The thing I liked best was I was driving a $200k car on a track at speed following a pro driver and it was no different than driving any other car. Not intimidating at all. I think that is why some people find Porsches to be boring. BTW, these are my favorite videos. I appreciate them because you have owned more than one P-car and you know something about them unlike a lot of the "reviewers" who are out there. Things like exhaust note are personal and as a long time viewer, I know that you have your likes and dislikes when it comes to sound. But the overall driving experience videos are what I like. Seeing you as the owner of a $200k+ RS loving a GT4...OK, really enjoying a GT4, just makes me happy.
Your making me miss those roads man. Only if we lived in a world like the mountains where people would move over to the side of the road to let you pass by.
good information on the ride difference and sensations...thanks again........I went from GT3 to TTS and in sport plus, it is a beast..........one of the best cars on the planet....GT2 RS review would be great to compare against the Turbo S you just drove.....the LWB seats will make it a different feel, plus the overall stiffer feel.....
690 to the engine or the ground? I heard you mention 40 less than GT2RS, but wanted to confirm. Great comparison videos for a rear Porsche owner. Only ones on TH-cam
Very informative video. If I had any small bone to pick would be comparing a 2nd Gen 991 with an exhaust and a tune with a stock 1st gen 991Turbo. I'd venture to guess that the difference between the stock models of the same generation would be far less dramatic. That being said, you have a new sub!
@@jamesytvids Yea thats what I meant, the stock exhaust doesn't crackles. not sure why Porsche purposely made the turbo S without the option of sport exhaust
I love the fact that you all trust each other with those expensive cars. Great teamwork to have a good time.
Well to them it's just cars, after a while you get bored with any car.
@@dexterjsullen lol plus all of them own one.
That road looks absolutely incredible. No traffic, smooth fast turns and beautiful scenery.
Yeah man, would be nice to drive around even aren't with supercars!
It's awesome!
Where is this road???
please do a walk around on the exterior of the car!
Yeah, I missed it on this one.
911 Turbo S has always been my favourite Porsche. Just love the body of it

Well said about the Turbo. Thanks for the feedback man. I think I might do more of this stuff. I really enjoy it.
would have been nice to see a quick tour of the exterior of the car so we get a feel for what it actually looks like..
The turbo is is absolutely insane.
Coming from LLF.....man you are everywhere 😂
These videos of trying all the different 911s is awesome. Love hearing your opinions
Thanks Jack!
Those 991 911 Turbos pull like a train, feel lucky to work on them
Your making me miss those roads man. Only if we lived in a world like the mountains where people would move over to the side of the road to let you pass by.
I love that place.
How in the world could anyone dislike a video like this?
My dream car. A Turbo S from 10yrs ago can accelerate from 40 to 60 mph in 1 second. Will be even quicker now.
Wow, I didn't know Han had joined your convoy!
Great video Matt! Love that turbo sound. I have an Akra exhaust and it’s perfect
The allwheel drive is great in the turbo S. Have a 2018 and love it.
good information on the ride difference and sensations...thanks again........I went from GT3 to TTS and in sport plus, it is a beast..........one of the best cars on the planet....GT2 RS review would be great to compare against the Turbo S you just drove.....the LWB seats will make it a different feel, plus the overall stiffer feel.....
690 to the engine or the ground? I heard you mention 40 less than GT2RS, but wanted to confirm. Great comparison videos for a rear Porsche owner. Only ones on TH-cam
I think it's to the crank.
Lmaoooo Porsche life....loving the vids man keep them coming
I'm not surprised to see Rich, the owner of the car, showing up in one of these videos
Great job on review.
Very informative video. If I had any small bone to pick would be comparing a 2nd Gen 991 with an exhaust and a tune with a stock 1st gen 991Turbo. I'd venture to guess that the difference between the stock models of the same generation would be far less dramatic. That being said, you have a new sub!
Been waiting for this one.. I would still take the 2rs and 3rs but this is still super sweet! Great videos man
Have you actually been in one? I would never daily one. Constant loud droning and nothing to drown out the sound.
Great video. I really like your car reviews. You should do more of these. Mark
does anyone know where he lives? those roads are beautiful
These videos are great! Gonna be hard to jump in a e92 m after this weekend.
Yep...
Green Tip Academy SF huh?
Which Wheels are on this car?
Do you think this is faster than the gt2rs in a straight line?
No, the GT2 is faster.
Thanks!
if this car was rwd, i would have no doubt in my mind that its what i want. but ive been torn between this or a 991.2 carrera s
Matt you lucky bastard! I'm still gonna buy stuff from you though..
This is not false. Ha, ha...
Why didn’t you do a walk around 😫😫😫
I just forgot. Too many things going on all at once.
Lol I forgive you. I have a 991 turbo with mods also and also love to other people’s cars. 😊
Not a whole lot of drama but your moving smoother and faster
Yep
Where is this road?
Robinsville, NC
After driving all those cars ,can you (if you had to have only one)pick one car to have?
.2 RS!
Nice
Do you still get overboost even if tuned?
I'm not sure. I did notice a huge difference.
Haven’t driven the 992 Turbo, but I find my C7 Corvette Z06 is more comfortable than my 911 991 Turbo.
A walk round would be nice
You should see what Ruf Porsche do with these😁😁
Just found you. Awesome Porsche content keep it up.
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
Very nice, Matt. We are in Porsche Heaven :)
It was awesome!
Hann in the background with his snacks
All that and no walk around?
I had a whole lot going on with people tossing their keys at me. I missed that one.
Obsessed Garage I bet! Keep up the amazing content. Been with you a long time 👌🏼
Obsessed Smoking Tire Garage...
what year is this?
What about a nice F350 6.7 Ford Diesel with the whistle💨?
Contractor Millionaire YES! I love mine. Extremely loud VGT
Thumbnail showed the car, so I came here to see the car. No car shots?
You need to try out a singer's
I know I'm in the minority here, but those do very little for me.
Why doesn’t turbo s crackles and pops ?
Because that is stupid. Grown ups don't want that.
Wrong
It does with an aftermarket exhaust system. Mine crackles and pops in sport plus and sport and doesn’t in standard mode.
@@jamesytvids Yea thats what I meant, the stock exhaust doesn't crackles. not sure why Porsche purposely made the turbo S without the option of sport exhaust
@@jamesytvids Sucks that the only option is to modify with after market
THIS MISSED EXTERIOR SHOTS
Nice! Pretty quick for straight line performance. I drag raced one like it twice that day and beat it both times with my 2016 Procharged Mustang GT.
Heres the video of one of the runs: th-cam.com/video/jFUBj62j2wc/w-d-xo.html
Ac drops power
No idea what it looks like
the owner is estimating 660? gotta love when people pull numbers out of their butt lol
I think that's what GIAC publishes.
What makes you assume he's pulling it out of his butt? Why such a judgemental prick? Seriously man.
not even an exterior shot? wft is wrong with people
Stop using the pedal shifter in your TH-cam videos. You will never do a better job than the computer.
Okay...
