I’ve wanted a 911 since I was 10. 36 years later I still yearn to have one & I will make it happen. Until then, I thoroughly enjoyed the virtual experience.

The faster the rpm, the better you climb hills . 4th gear or higher is only for flat roads. Even my old Corolla 1.8 could handle 4500 to 5000 rpm all the way up the Grapevine. I would fly past people that were trying to climb it in high gear , and I was still driving it north of 350,000 miles and it still ran like new. Lower rpm on hill climbs would actually decrease engine life. Too much strain.

Even for being on the lower end of the range of 911s, the 911T Is awesome to see from Porsche. Theyve got every 911 owner covered. As long as you can afford it, there's a 911 that is going to be the best daily or weekend car you ever buy. I see Porsche as a company doing a lot of things right. The last 10 years have been momentous for Porsche. The Macan was a huge success and they didn't compromise on Porsche philosophy on driving experience. That's why we can have cars like this. There are people paying off $100k on a diesel pickup, and I don't understand it but I say let them have their fun. It makes the Porsche lineup look reasonably priced for what you get. And that's how you can justify buying a Porsche! If driving is something you love, life is too short to drive boring cars.
This looks like a ton of fun, honestly, and it sounds better than I expected. Great color, too!

992 Carrera T is a compelling argument. For around $130k-140k you can into one of these or a used 991.1 GT3. I can't afford either.

A good gar. Balanced minimalism in design. And it was a pleasure to see the perfect usage of the gear shifter - like a proper gear shifter, not a handrail. Thank you for this great review.
This almost cured me of my depression, thanks for the great vid

Great video. I cancelled my order for a 992 T to buy a 991.1 for half the price, and your comments about the 991.1's greater sound and drama was right on. I don't need it to be any faster! Plus I got a not-black interior!

Hilarious, i was just thinking yesterday when you were going to drop the T Manual POV
I purchased a 2022 Carrera S because it had a manual and the T wasn’t out yet but would have been ok with a T. Great review!
@theTopher - cayman GTS or 911T? From a driving experience perspective ?
This is awesome
fantastic road!
Purely amazing haha
Awesome video just curious are you filming that on Mulholland drive?
What a perfect weekend road car.
Oh boy a manual!! These animals are a rare sight
nice sound
That road 😍
Would you prefer a lower sound deadening 911 or normal, all else equal?

It sounds better than the other turbo powered 992s - I hope Porsche learn something from this one so that the 992.2 could sound more like this one.
This is great middle ground Porsche to own. I’m in love.
i just wanna say u are a really good driver u shift as if it was an automatic transmisson
2023 Porsche 911 manual. Perfection.
Lovely car, great review. Shame I’ll probably never be able to afford one! Oh well, I’ll just keep enjoying my old E36 M3.
As a 2018 "T" owner this review captures the magic of the T experience. It's the most fun you can have in a modern 911. GT3 may be faster and sound better but on normal driving roads the T is just more fun.

@@netcrashYTI guess "more fun" is subjective. If less power and less sound is your thing than yes, the T is more fun than a GT3. I’d take the GT3 or even a 443hp S with a few upgrades over the base engine T. I guess my idea of more fun is different than @jbgoogmd.
FInally! My personal favourite 992
Your driving is very good bro
The nice part about the seven speed is that the first six are nice and close and allow a great low end spacing, and when you are on the highway, you can turn less than 2000rpm at +70mph, and the fuel economy you get from that... So, rare that you do spirited driving with 7th gear engaged; spend all your time in the first six, and it gates really intuitively.
Tough day at the office for the Toph!
fun facT: the tradition of the ignition being on the left comes from the le mans start where pilots would have to run to their cars and start as fast as possible.
Me in my brz being extremely envious watching him hit 70 in 2nd gear......
I dont know if it works with this model too but you can change the cupholder with a case for keys etc.
damn that looks like fun... I'm jealous
This is just a very nice car to have for guys who want a performance car with some great luxury options.
Great drive, thanks. I own a 991 in germany. I like such roads. I think, the speed is in km/h, or?
just took my 992s mt for a blast what a car
The “T” is the right 911 spec for an enthusiast. But for a bit less money, a Cayman GTS 4.0 caters to a more hard-core driver and adds the inherent balance of a mid-engine and the naturally-aspirated response and sound. The tech isn’t as current, but having rewatched your review of a 2021 GTS 4.0, it’s probably even better for sheer driving pleasure (since the T only has 2 seats anyway).
How do you install gopro 11 but have such a nice pov angle? can i know?
I find it very interesting that you just drove the 997GT3 - so which of the 2 would be in your dream garage?
what camera are you using to record this ?
Hi TheTopher, is the manual a bad choice for LA traffic?
So funny to watch this car driven with the really low speed limit on this roads. Driving this piece flat out is another story.
Idk man but love just how the steering wheel looks😁
When was this filmed, I know the canyon's conditions are a little bad after the heavy rain.
The soundactuator in this ev sounds like a real car.

A 2 seater softop sub 200bhp for $10k-$20k lol. The typical twisty road sports car. What do you need 400bhp for here? Lets be real, this is nice but it is extravagant
If I’m not mistaken Porsche decided to makes of the 911’s now with turbos pretty cool if you ask me
Okay - this or the Cayman GTS 4.0? I've watched your GTS 4.0 video probably 40 times, and am in line for an upcoming allocation at my dealer. You really seemed to love that car, I wish you mentioned a comparison here. Thanks for the great videos.
“Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Michigan anymore.¨😉
Have you tried the Cayman handling on the same road?
top!
Has this got a lower seating position than 718 or GR86?
are you doing a revmatch, or is the car doing it for the driver?
Still not sure if I'm a fan of 911 since I've never driven one, but this one looks kinda cool
Why not to say that it's was, and still the perfect combination of the racing Porsche's drivers. #LONGLIFETOSTICK
I wonder who was the genius who decided to place the cup holder right behind the stick shift?! I guess you can only place a drink there when you’re not driving!
When he opened the center console I thought I saw a little hand reaching back up! --it's very early...
But does it have a spare tire?
If there is one car manufacturer I want in my garage is definitely Porsche

Alacantra supposedly won't show surface cracking with age... we'll see I guess
I expected the wheel to be smaller and sharper than this. Still looks mechanically similar to regular cars. I guess it's more about the pedals.
Gear knob is like in old VW Golf or Jetta
I don't know if it's as prevalent in person, but there is something seriously distracting to me about the reflective piece on the turn signal stock.
Wow it looks like a NA car when you floor it virtually no turbo lag.
The new Ford Bronco also comes with a 7-speed manual transmission.
Rear wheel drive??
Wish I had the cash for it. This spec seems about perfect imo.
A 911 T with the aero kit would be my dream. Very similar driving experience to the GT3 and similar looks without the busy suspension startup, and half the price
A Frog🐸
is it possible to turn off the rev match??
