    Thanks for all that information! Basically it is a design flaw and poor choice of materials... I have a 74 2.7 with nikasil cylinders (the mag case has it's issues, but they are fixable...) when I rebuilt it @ 150k miles, due to worn exhaust valve guides, the cylinders and pistons were perfect! There was still cross-hatching on all the cylinder bores! I hear the 3.0 and 3.2's last 300K (due to BETTER design). This is WORSE design. The Porsche engineers/bean counters f'ed-up this engine. And it costs more to rebuild that the car is worth...

    Strange how the worst period for Porsche financially (late 80's, mid 90's) gave us the most desirable 911 generations, the 964 and the 993.

  • @fredericauerbach2227
    @fredericauerbach2227 День тому

    Apology: my comments below include errror: while I personnally prefer the 997 to the 991 or 992, Nathan's comparion was/is correct- the 997 is "dated" technolgy. I am an octogenarian analog, (happily)driving a 993 C4S!

  • @fredericauerbach2227
    @fredericauerbach2227 День тому

    Curioius, though, would not a 997.2 be better used as comparison to the 992? Closer in mechanicals, and it looks far better- irrespective of color. Nice, but, driving on mostly straight roads in the pretty PNW, and I live here, misses demonstrating how these cars can perform in real driving, aka challenging driiving experiences. PCA should have transported them to a local track as well. Need to know how each is speced and optioned to really compare("lightweight glass", etc.). Amazing(to me) how exterior colors and infotainment, regardless of mechanicals, are so important to so many. Decision makers..!

    Great looking 993, but to be honest, a 993 works the best with maximum 19" dia wheels (18" inch wheels minimum), and on the street, with Kumho V70A and the KW III Suspension... Just try, and tell me that's not true 👍 You can see it through the back window, like the rear of this beautiful car is bouncing and hopping like a bunny, all because of the to big wheels. When the Toyo reaches his temperature window, the profile will become kinda smear but still sticky and full grip, but you'll drive a full slick! Try it😉👍

    It was great to be able to watch this real-world comparison of some of the best manual transmission equipped 911s that Porsche has produced over the last 5+ years. I have driven a 2019 Carrera T since it was new. I prefer the interior build quality of the 991 generation but covet the options like rear seat delete that are available to order on the 992 T. That said, as special as my T is, I am selling it now before it becomes the classic that I know it will become!

    • @nathanmerz
      @nathanmerz 2 дні тому

      @boodiblanc2212 I find the all of the modern Porsche's with 6-speed manuals to have slightly more positive and direct shift feel vs the 7-speed gearboxes as those add one more gate. With that said, I found it slightly off putting in the 991.1 (albeit not enough to not recommend those great cars!) but it improved in the 991.2 and in the 992 I barely notice it

      I’ve had the 991.2 T for a a couple of years and never got past 5th until recently. Finally had a chance to just cruise on a moderate New England highway for a couple hours in 7th. It was like a completely different car. Smooth and sublime. So unexpected.

    Hello Nathan! Having purchased Gary's lovely 1973 911T through you a couple years ago and owning a 991.2 T (MT, RAS) which I purchased new and still have - I love them both! They are obviously completely different but love the "touring" models. I had the opportunity to purchase a 992 T but I love my 991.2 so much, and am completely satisfied with it. Plus, I prefer the looks of the 991.2 and the more rawness aspect of it more. But I think I would could live with a 992 as well. But I don't want to trade!.I don't think I will ever sell it. I LOVE that car! It is a blast to drive and I do not have any complaints about it after living it with it for 5 years now. I agree with you that the Carrera T is under appreciated and frankly, I think not fully understood, even by most "Porsche people." At least that has been my experience. I wanted a driver's car, that's why I bought the 991.2T and I have not been disappointed. It's good to see these cars getting some love and appreciation! I am thinking I may need a 991.2 or 992 GT3 Touring someday to round out my touring collection. Thanks for the great video. BTW what is the color of the 992 GT3 Touring in this video? Thanks Nathan, Chris

    @petercalhoun6150 3 дні тому

    Well done comparison video of the different generations, but some of the subjective differences can be attributed to tires. A 992 T w/ under 1k on Goodyears and a 991.2 T of unknown mileage (don't recall if it was noted) on Pirellis will share different ride, handling, and noise characteristics despite both being N-spec tires. Also need to ensure that both cars tires were set at the door placard psi. It is not uncommon for Pirellis, especially as they wear, to be ride harsher and be noisier than other tires in the competitive set. Put both cars on equivalent Michelin PS4S and the subjective driving observations would become an even narrower gap IMHO w/ years of professional experience in the tire and motorsport industry.

    It didn’t look like you pushed either car but said that you got close to the limits of the Vantage. Either its limits are very low, the videos sense of speed was misleading, or there was a lot that you didn’t show us. Anyway, they both seem like nice cars although I’m not sure that’d I’d cross shop them.

    This is a great video! Great idea changing drivers and let them talk about their impressions. I would love to see more of it, perhaps even with a little more technical information interspersed about the cars. Always so good to listen to "Prof. Nathan" too - I guess there aren't many beings on the planet knowing more about Porsches. I'm the proud owner of a PDKed 992 C4S in sharkblue. The striking color always reminds me of pictures of the Cherenkov radiation (... which occurs when charged particles pass through a translucent medium if they are FASTER THAN THE LIGHT propagating in the medium 😁) and in person it somehow really does radiate. Driving the car is pure fun, in fact there is simply no such thing as too long a car journey anymore. 😊 When I listen to you guys though I sometimes wonder if maybe a manual may be even more fun. We'll see. I live about 2 hours NW of the factory that builds these dreams. I've been there twice and if you ever have the opportunity to visit the factory, you should, it's really worth it. Keep up the good work! Thank you very much and cheers from Germany!

    I purchased a new 992 T in January. It is my first Porsche. There are some aspects that I love. The transmission feel is great. Steering feel is great. It is extremely practical as a daily and road trip car. I agree with the comments in the video about the sense of occasion. I also own an NSX, and that car has a much greater sense of occasion and much of that has to do with the sound of the car. I could see going to something like a GT3 or Spyder to have a more special feeling car at the expense of practicality.
