Objectively that Harley is just the bane of drivers everywhere, it doesn't even look like it's doing the speed limit on an otherwise traffic-free road, but has no regard for anyone else.
I really thought that GT2 and the GT3 were perfect, then this comes along… it’s insane how Porsche continues to improve something that is sooo incredible.
That was a good shot!! Thats why i love everyday driver videos. They put so much into production to get all these awesome different shots from above and they try really hard to capture speed. However this channels approach is much much simpler. Maybe to simple honestly if you ask some. The most effort these guys put into a video is clamping a GoPro to a street sign and driving by at speeds so fast a viewer cant see anything but a blur of a car shooting past the frame. I personally think they lack effort and motivation nowadays. They think sitting in a car talking with a front facing camera the entire time with some b roll thrown in is going to keep us entertained. Its damn hard to keep the audience entranced to a video. Its either gotta be like a movie with the production levels to keep us watching or be something so insane like whistlin diesel destroying things with no production value. These guys try to do the lowest amount of production while not being super entertaining. I think thats why they have 1mil subscribers but only get 100k views. They dont do a whole lot extra to keep us entertained. I love them but I think the may be getting complacent with their position. They have heaps of great car knowledge but how do you entertain? Hopefully this can be taken as constructive criticism. If Matt had a better atitude that would help to. His complaining about small issues isnt what we want to hear.
It sounds so good for a "production" vehicle. I daily drove a built supercharged Elise with a titanium catless exhaust. Sure I smiled on start up and through underpasses but it was a labor of love. Even with how raw this car is, I'm sure from a comfort and daily driving standpoint (if you so choose) is worlds above my old Elise. I'd daily one, but its out of my price range.
As a general rule, a naturally aspirated combustion engine will lose 3% of its power for every 1,000 ft of elevation gain. If you have 500 horsepower at sea level by the time you get to 5,000 feet of elevation your engine is making 425 horsepower. So you were down 75hp and it was still blazing down the road. What an engine!
San Gabriel Canyon Rd is by far my favorite road in So Cal and has been for the past 30+ years. I moved to the DC area 1 1/2 years ago and I miss Hwy 39 almost on a daily basis. Great vid as always guys. Peace
Great to see your enjoyment writ loud on your faces and in your thoughts expressed here. A joyous video about a fascinating product. Thanks to you both! And of course to Porsche for finally treating the cayman platform to a very special power unit. Also respect for your v fast but considerate driving around cyclists etc.
Another day of me watching another cool video when I'm supposed to be working....I just can't ignore cars like this. But I hate you both, you are having way too much fun, and I'm jealous af. For me, I'd never see a track, never go beyond highways, canyons etc, more GT driving than anything, so 992 911 Turbo S for me is still my dream, I just want it in manual. Great stuff guys! thanks
Despite them recommending this as a special purpose track beast, 99% of these will either be city driving flex or stored in a collection and never driven.
This is one of my favorite cars. I had a 2007 WRX STI which was fun in the Canyons, I then had a 2008 C6 Z06 vette followed by a 2012 Camaro SS/RS supercharged LS3 6MT 667whp. The Camaro was a TANk in the corners, too heavy. I bought a civic sport sedan 6MT with the naturally aspirated port injected engine and manual gearbox as a daily. Only has 5500 miles after 15 months. I have 32k$ saved up thus far, I can’t afford a new Porsche Cayman but I plan on getting a cayman next. Mid engined, beautiful styling, it’s something I’ve always wanted to have. This GT4RS is literally a dream machine, they finally put the good engine inside that phenomenal chassis. I can only imagine how fun this was in the canyons. Great video as always boys 👍🏻
It took me several decades and 18 cars to realize just how much more important light weight is to power, but I finally learned my lesson when I traded a rwd 228i for my current M240i xDrive (previous gen). Same chassis, 300+ pounds heavier. Not counting the power difference, the 228i felt like a completely different car, and was more fun nearly all the time.
Great review! Thank you for posting. I love all the GT products but they are a bit much for me personally. I drive exclusively on the street so I'm gonna stick with my Tuned 996 Turbo X50.
I really appreciate the comparison to the Deman 4.5. I just got my GT4 back from Rick. it is perfection. Street friendly and mean as hell on the track. absolute perfection. I would love to own an RS but I cant see how it improves on what I have aside from that killer high rev. excellent review.
Okay not to be rude, but I really need to know what the 4.5 set you back. I'm getting ready to purchase a GT4 and hearing that 4.5 in the other video changed my calculus quite a bit lol
Exactly. The GT4 RS is not that much better than the GT4, which is the better buy and better for daily plus track. The GT4 RS is only 0.4 seconds faster. Whoopie 😵💫🙄
Hey Matt/ Zack, great review! Completely agree on ride and daily driving capabilities. I had similar thoughts after my time in the 992 GT3 over just 4-days (comfort seats are a must).
Disagree. I've had the standard sport seats and now have the carbon buckets. I daily drive it and wouldn't change the seats. Not the easiest to get in and out of but worth it. Very comfortable on long drives.
As a 2008 Cayman S owner, I can just imagine how great this car must be. I can’t wait to see a comparison video vs the C8 Z06 (if GM ever actually releases it).
I think the Z is just going to be an extreme track machine built for numbers where this is just peak sportscars. It would still be fun to watch though.
"lamborghini STO had the airbox box but it was just to cool the engine not the intake, what a missed opportunity there" Careful you'll give them ideas, not that they need an excuse to create another variation. If that sounded bitter it's only because I can't afford it 😅 😭
Peak car guy at 15:55 ...despite being in the cooler car both Zach and Matt whip there heads around to catch a second look at the older Porsche and beamer that pass in the other direcrtion
At around 160k the GT4 RS might be the best car you can get. I initially thought that the new C8 ZO6 would be better but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
I doubt the half cage will be an issue in the US. Porsche does not put the cage in US spec cars because of DOT issues. This must be a European spec 4RS
Exactly what is the issue that the DOT has with roll bars/cages? Air bags and seat belts are not affected, sooo ..... 🤔 Porsche roll bar is behind the seats, so you're not going to hit your head on it.
@@BJK1715 I have no official knowledge as to why Porsche either chose to not supply the half cage or is not able to do so due to regulatory or legal issues. I suspect DOT has concern about head injury but Porsche lawyers may have concerns about liability in North America
Hey Matt, since you’re a tall guy, it would be cool if you showed your seating position in the cars you drive. Give everyone a sense of how much legroom/headroom there is. I’m 6’-5” and it’s very hard to find a car that I fit in.
If they make the spyder version of this RS which has been leaked, that car with a manual swap and ultra short ratios, would be epic, n maybe swap to gt4 coilovers for a better street car.
You two are as giddy as a couple of school girls on a first date-uh, now second date for Matt! Makes me want one! I would be willing to daily one and drive it to the track everyday too!😜. This one is a real screamer! Oh, that lovely sound!🥰😍
You are telling crap, dude! The V8 turbo engine sound of every McLaren model is fucking senseless and totally boring, compared to this 4 liter flat six naturally aspirated masterpiece engine sound from Porsche in the 718 GT4 RS. McLaren V8 turbo sound is just LOUD, but nothing more. You are confusing the stupid and dull sounding loudness of a McLaren V8 turbo engine vs. the pure sound quality you get from this 9000 rpm reving N/A masterpiece engine from Porsche.
Your 4.5 will Definately be better suited for the street but that’s where the comparisons should end. 4RS will go down as one of the best Porsche ever built. Evo COTY 2022 easily
It's obvious that this is probably the best engine in the world right now .Even cars costing 400 k cannot complete with that .Only Porsche can produce car like that .The others simply do not have the technical know how to do that .
