I own a 22 Carrera S Cab with a 7 speed. I just took delivery of my Carrera T last week and drove it through the Georgia mountains. It feels so much sportier than my S. The feel is much more connected to the road. My S is more powerful in the upper rpm range only. I thought it would be a hard choice to pick between the two! I’m selling the S. Great accurate review!

I absolutely love the Corvettes but the 911 is just another level of fun and refinement you can’t go wrong with either. My 992 T (7sp and bucket seats) is coming this spring and I can’t wait.

You crack me up. You bring the fun with your videos along with honest impressions and witty comments. Love the 911T. Want one. For me as a buyer I’m looking at the Corvette, the M4, 2025 CTV Blackwing, the 911T. All bring something different to the table. All have pros and cons. 10 years after purchase I think the 911T is still in your garage and loved, where the others will seem antiquated. My 2 cents. Thanks for bringing fun buddy. Cheers!

I don't know why, but the little designs marking the model of Carrera on the doors is unnecessarily cool, especially compared to the 991's tiny little logos on the doors that might as well never been there

As a BMW guy who has a BMW channel, the answer is… yes the 911 is the way to go (unless you have children). BMW does not make a “drivers” coupe anymore. The new Z4 manual will be as close as they’ve gotten in many years, but the 911’s reputation precedes itself.

I see Raiti rocking the Adidas. I got those 3years ago for Christmas and still use them as my daily drivers. Even when going on-throttle with them. They are amazing shoes.

In Australia, the Porsche price is ridiculously higher than BMW. The 911 T is expensive as 2.5 times of an M2 price.

OMG this is IT! Unreal! The only thing is that even this trim needs a back seat (for me) without it looks unfinished. oh and manual. FREAKING BEAUTIFUL! That shifter is insanely comfortable.

The only flaw I have ever found with Porsche is the price and the weird Honda sounds some of their models/trims make. Rari, Lambo, and big ol American v8s get the sound down so good.

Porsche 911 ALL DAY! EVERY DAY! My dream car and of course it will be a manual! As always great review Joe!

The only thing that stops me buying a Carerra T is the overinflated Price $15k too much, and the lack of sound deadening.

How beautifully you convey your feelings about a great car to the audience, Joe I love it ❤❤Thanks a lot.

damn not easy to dicide, one is a relatively light 2 seater RR with a Boxer engine and the other one is a heavy 4 seater FR with a inline 6 engine, to close each other for me.

Joe, it all comes down to taste. It kills me how people diss the M4 grill. I have a new 24 M4 competition convertible and I LOVE the Grill! To me, it reminds me of the intakes on an F-4 Phantom jet, not a pig snout. I love the looks so much that I bought an M4 instead of an M8, as I love a V8 over the inline 6. As for porsche, they all look alike to me, a jelly bean look. Never likes a rear engine design either. Again, it all comes down to taste.

Very little weight savings when the CF roof is optioned given that the standard roof is aluminum like the rest of the car. The CF roof is for aesthetics which I can appreciate.

Of course, and ive never driven either. A sports car built from the ground up is always going to be better than a souped up family car. The elephants in the room, the Boxster/Cayman does it even better, mid engine, sounds better (981 gen).

I would replace the sun roof with carbon fibre roof to reduce weight 🤘🏼

The color is actually called CARRARA WHITE, not "Carrera". It's different from the standard white in that it has some grey tones in it.
