I left 1/3 of my liver by gealousy meanwhile you were spinning around with the mechanical equivalent of Monica Bellucci, you B..... B...... B...... BRAVO!!!!
Targa is 100% best spec for a 911-- rare(ish) and gorgeous. I'm a Boxster guy (fits my golf clubs), but love this car! Full props to you for your winter top-down Miata. I owned a gen 1 back 30 years ago and it never left the garage unless the roof was down. Same rule, now. with my Boxster.
I usually don’t watch any Porsche car review because it is unaffortable for me. However, I know Marek could present in a different way then other youtuber. So I watched it and indeed very informative and interesting, thank you for the good work. Wait to see you get 50k and 100k subscribers.
Thanks. I appreciate that you watched even though it's not a car you're looking for. One year after the channel split the English version seems to be performing as expected. Fingers crossed I'll see 50k by the end of 2023.
I suspect most 911 Targa customers don’t buy the car with the intention of doing launch controls. What’s the point of them, anyway ! (apart from having a bit of fun). You said so yourself : you buy a Targa for its looks (and its performance if and when you need it). Leave he drag race stuff to the Turbo S and the forthcoming GT2 RS. And even those probably won’t be used all that much for launch control purposes on open roads. It seems more a gimmick than anything else 😎
Hi. I know this is a 10 month old review. But how comfortable is the suspension in normal mode - especially given some of the bumpy winter roads that I saw in your review???
If I had the means I would definitely get a 911. Somehow Porsche keep improving it every generation (well except the change to turbo maybe). That launch time in the cold and wet is absolutely insane! That centre cup holder position seems a bit odd though - if this was manual wouldn't it be in the way?
The central cupholder is (AFAIR) an option which can be replaced with a key holder or an ashtray or something like that. And yes, it would obstruct gear change in a manual car. Remember Bad Boys? ua-cam.com/video/_MgxmGjS3O8/v-deo.html
It just needed to thaw. Porsche says the mechanism is very delicate. In my MX-5 3rd gen (the one with folding hard top) I'd be careful at -15 degrees C, but this was at barely -5.
@MarekDrivesENG Thank you! If you say so, I believe you. I would rather spend 5K on some other features if you think that there is not much use for RWS with AWD. In my build, I already added 18-way car seats and noise canceling car windows.
@@MarekDrivesENG Sure! Here is the code to my configuration: PR8EFBL6 . Please let me know what you think. I am trying to put a $185K cap on it. If you suggest that I add or remove certain things, also please let me know! Thanks so much! I really appreciate your help.
Nice, stealthy spec. Me, I'm a sucker for colors, but I appreciate the elegant simplicity you're goring for. I don't know where you live, and how you're going to use the car. I'd always go for the manual, but if you're going to be stuck in traffic a lot, then PDK is the obvious choice. Night Vision - did you choose it or was it added automatically with something else? Again, I don't know where you're going to be driving your 911, but I don't recall night vision being more than a gimmick in all the test cars I've driven. That being said, some of my viewers, who a lot of night back road miles say they feel safer having it. I guess it's better to spot a moose sooner than later.
Interesting. I haven't thought of that, although with this much turbulence I'm not sure if they would get pushed inside. A bitch to clean inside nonetheless.
@alliejr I think he was talking about bugs getting under the rear glass dome. Hard to access, etc. BTW, did you know the 964 had two washer fluids? Regular one, and a highly concentrated one for bugs (of course dispensed with a separate switch).
I think you could have tried harder to fit in the rear seats Marek. Come on bro... you're getting the big bucks to make it happen. In your acceleration launch you should have a camera on the fuel gauge. LOL There's another dad at my youngest daughter's school who put his child in the rear seat of his 911 and I think that's why his kid is a 15cm shorter than all of the other kids her age. She grew to the size of the rear of that car. Just sayin' I think they should have a warning sticker. My answer to all Porsche is 718 GTS 4.0.
"Don't you grow any taller or daddy will have to sell his favourite car and that will make him really sad!" I see years of therapy ahead for the kid :)

that intro...Marek,for me,you are the best reviewer...never regret and never leave this channel,keep going !
I was going for 4.0 seconds. This a dope video. Appreciate this !!
Glad you liked it!

I just realised 911 is not a golfer's car. Hell, I can fit a bag of golf clubs in my MX-5 trunk (3rd gen), but in a 911 it would be difficult.
@@MarekDrivesENG Why I own a Boxster! And the folding bag trolley fits in the front trunk!!!
@@alliejr I fit in the Boxster frunk!
A beautiful car with a rich history. Excellent review.
Glad you enjoyed it

Pleasure seeing 911 in a winter and some slides. Unexpectedly good acceleration
Great review! This car is on my hit list. Subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you!

The whole LC/driving mode business is to make the cars more usable in daily driving.
@@MarekDrivesENG Driving modes, yes, launch control, no ! Totally useless in daily driving.
Nice review…love my 992 manual cab but no winter driving for me!
Nice review! Interesting observation on the rear wheel steer in the Targa!!
RWS+AWD in 992 in general.
RWS on its own is fine.
Hi. I know this is a 10 month old review. But how comfortable is the suspension in normal mode - especially given some of the bumpy winter roads that I saw in your review???
It's comfortable for a 911, not particularly comfortable by general car standards.
good to know that winter even with a 4 is not daily ideal.
If I had the means I would definitely get a 911. Somehow Porsche keep improving it every generation (well except the change to turbo maybe). That launch time in the cold and wet is absolutely insane!

Liked the car so much I ordered one. Delivery in May 2023. Great review but wouldn’t drive in the winter
Everything is perfect except that microphone shifter. That's the deal breaker with except GT3 Touring still using the old shifter.
Did you get the roof fixed easy enough? Had the same issue constantly - ice or no ice
It just needed to thaw. Porsche says the mechanism is very delicate. In my MX-5 3rd gen (the one with folding hard top) I'd be careful at -15 degrees C, but this was at barely -5.
Manually opening roof... just blow...mind option)))
So you recommend not to get rear wheel steering if you have AWD?
Yes. Or at least give it a try during a test drive, and see if you find it twitchy.
@MarekDrivesENG Thank you! If you say so, I believe you. I would rather spend 5K on some other features if you think that there is not much use for RWS with AWD. In my build, I already added 18-way car seats and noise canceling car windows.
I'd love to see your configuration. Will you share a link or is it too personal? :)

What kind of tires and wheels were used here?
Continental WinterContact TS 860
Too bad the Targa GTS got whimpy. It would be great to be to get SPASM on it.
Why are you showing us the Porsche website specs?
Because that's the easiest way to show the various flavours of 911.
I can only see that curved glass turning into an insect graveyard with the roof down in the summer 😅😅😅
Interesting. I haven't thought of that, although with this much turbulence I'm not sure if they would get pushed inside. A bitch to clean inside nonetheless.
Perhaps not. The clear plastic rear wind "screen" on my Boxster has not had that issue in the last decade of ownership. Zero bugs.

@@MarekDrivesENG ha. He sold the 911. I’m sure the wife made him do it.
If I’m paying that much money the. I’m going to need more horses
👍👍👍
Porsche? Yes! Targa? Wank!
Sounds about right :)
