The 991.1 is a cracking car with one of the best sounding exhausts across the Porsche world. Having had one and then moved to a 992 it was clear that although the 992 is hugely capable and more grown up modern car. It’s very quiet in comparison and you pilot rather than truly drive it at road legal speeds. It’s therefore feels more of a cruiser and more of a GT car than a sports car at road legal speeds. True enjoyment only really comes at silly speeds or on a track where you can really see how far things have moved on, which is a real shame. I then swapped into a 991.2 GT3 which is great - brings back some noise and adds that special feeling to every drive. Believe it or not its also more fun on a public road, not just track use. But tbh the 991.1 S/GTS cars make a far better sound more of the time ( where as the GT3 is all bark high up the rev range and little sound below 4k revs) and the slower pace of the S / GTS models means you get to enjoy wide open throttle and blips for just that bit longer on the road. So be mindful of these aspects when you are thinking about changing. You might miss what you already have…. 👀
Good perspective!!!!
Excellent perspective. You have experienced a range of 911s and crystalized your experience in a very informative way. Thank you. I still view the 991.2 and 992 GT3s as dream drives or bucket list cars as they appear to be so thrilling to drive. But your experience makes me appreciate what I have now in the GTS. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great content again, Joe. Love your videos. Michelin is the best tyre, period. Keep the 991.1 GTS - naturally aspirated, coupe without the spoilers, enough power and the PDK gearbox make city driving a blast. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Your car's amazing. I'm watching the clips over and over again. You're the reason I'm longing for a 991.1 GTS now. 😀
The last two bikers (06:10) have no clue about cornering technique.
We have the 4s on our lexus IS and I love them compared to yokohamas, nittos & goodyears I've ran on other cars.
Your gts looks great! I love it. Can't wait til I find a 997.2 to fulfill my 911 obsession.
I have experienced the 4S when driving cars I have reviewed and they seem the complement those cars really well. It’s great to feel them on my 911, a car I am very accustomed to.
997.2 versions are awesome. I had a C2S with manual and Fabspeed intake and exhaust and loved it.
Nice surprise to see a video from you! Thank you for the update.
More to come! Thank you!!!!
Miss you dude! Glad to have you back.! Thanks for the morning drive as I'm sitting at my home work desk wishing I was with you carving up some back roads! Lol! I live in SOMD and have similar roads. I'm coming up on my next set of tires and currently I have the Pirelli's as well. I too have been contemplating on getting the PS4s. This video was right on time of confirmation of my next set. Thanks and Take care and looking forward to your next video. FYI, I own a 2017 991.2 C2 blk/blk 7sp.
Thank you! It's good to be back. I had so much fun shooting that video. The car is feeling great! And the Michelins have lived up to the hype. Take a quick break today and go for a spin in your 911!!!
Loved the Michelin 4S on my 911.
I realize I am a late comer to the 4S, but I am very impressed.
Hello Joe GTS sounds fantastic. So it sounds like you prefer the Michelin over the P-Zero’s. Thank you so the video Sir.
Dude where have you been? Glad you’re back more Porsche content.
Work and life happens! Ha! But that 911 is so awesome. More seat time in the Porsche to come!
Great to see you Back At It!!!... I'm due for a full tire change and on my 991.1 4S. Have you noticed any difference in "Road Noise" of the Pilots vs the PZero's, hopefully they're quieter. Also, have you considered the Soul Perfomance header and exhaust upgrades? Sound on that NA would probably be Incredible!!
So here is the thing on the road noise. Since I run winter tires through that season, I wasn’t able to do a direct, back to back noise comparison between the 4S and P Zero summer tires. I remember last summer when driving the P Zeroes on the GTS, I remarked to my buddy Milton that the GTS allows more tire roar and road noise into the cabin than his Corvette Z06 (when the Z06 is in comfort mode).
So at first, when I drove off with the 4S, I heard more noise than the winter Michelin Alpins. But the GTS allows more tire roar and road noise into the cabin anyway.
So this is a long-winded way of saying the tire roar doesn’t seem annoying or particularly louder than what I can recall of the P Zeroes.
I also have contemplated an exhaust. I had a Fabspeed intake and exhaust on my 997.2 and really liked it. I guess I need to decide if I am serious about a GT3 or not. After this drive with the 4S tires, I fell back in love with the GTS!
@@Joe_Hutchinson I LOVE the GTS... I believe it's the Perfect Blend of Power and Agility without being Too Much to Use on a regular basis. I've been contemplating stepping up to the 992 4GTS, but it's hard to give away the "NA Engine Notes". Good Luck with your decision on the GT3!!!
I have Pirelli P Zeros on my 991.2 4S and I was thinking about switching to the Michelin Sport 4S and this video is giving me the confidence to make the switch. Great job Joe I love your videos.
Glad I could help! I am really impressed with the PS4S tires. Let me know how you like them once they are installed!
Good job Joe. I have Goodyear Eagle F1s on my 992 with only about 4000 miles. Maybe I’ll try Michelins when mine are done. Keep the content coming.
I have been hearing such good things about the PS4S over the years that I wanted to try them on the GTS. I have driven in a spirited way several other performance cars with PS4S tires on them (G80 M3, AMG E63S, etc) and they were great. I am happy to report they are great on my GTS, too.
my car isn't quite to the level of benefiting from PS4s but the AS3+s are good too
I made the switch also to ps4s, on my 16 porsche club coupe ( same as your car but blue) also have on a few of my other cars and i love them. They last a bit longer also. At what mileage did you have to do the rear brakes ? I'm just at 10k, figure your at about 45k?
It's great to hear you like the tires on your vehicles, and to hear that they last a bit longer. I was worried that perhaps their life could be shorter. I have just over 47K miles on the car now. I will need to check my records on previous brake services. I believe I have changed the front brakes and rotors at least once. I'll have to check my records and follow up....
Get the 991.2 gt3. There is no comparison.
Care to give a hint as to where that road is? 👀
Harriman State Park, just north of Tuxedo, New York
Do you have the rear steering option?
No rear steering option on my car.
@@Joe_Hutchinson Nice video. Waiting for my ‘24 992 GTS to start being built any day now.
Blk rims make Porsches look like ghetto Lexus.
