The 992 Base is definitely the best value. I prefer the wide body, it has enough power and I really like the color on this one.
Thanks for the great video.. you are giving me a hope to wait for my base 992 😁
Glad I could help
I currently have a 2006 Porsche 911 Carerra (base), an upgraded 911 in a few years-I love driving the 911.
Awesome, an 06 Carrera is a great car! any issues with bore scoring or IMS?
I would get the base and tune it, that's plenty of power for me. Thanks for the review Glenn.
I agree...You"re welcome !
Anything with the 3.0 turbo motor is actually a great buy. Even with current prices. Didn’t know that design detail about the “9” and “11”. Very cool touch.
I agree, thanks for watching Scott. Enjoy SF
Nice video. I agree. I own a base 2017 Carrera and not being a track guy, it has sufficient power for my driving style. Thanks.
Well said! I love my 2017 base Carrera,. She is a keeper
I'm a manual guy but I reluctantly say the size of the 992 wheel base, body, interior certainly justifies the pdk as it truly has become a full grand touring machine in this form.....it's more a sit back and relax car more than needing the provocation of the shifter....for me that is.
Good point
I have a 992 S, this car is far from a “sit back and relax” car. Road noise is considerable and the ride quality is pure sports car. No complaints about the car, but I’m not expecting a relaxing drive when I’m in it.
Recount the engine cover it's 9 9 2 not really 911.... Very cool and probably be different on the 992.1 when it arrives in 2024.
Great car and video
Glad you enjoyed it
In New Jersey, you listen to The Man when you get gas.
Great video
Thanks for the visit
Awesome
Thank you
I ordered base my 911 on Monday. I thought I knew what I was doing with my configuration until I saw your video. Now I’m rethinking a few options. I don’t need the added power of the S.
1. Should I delete the front axle lift?
2. Add the front grill SportDesignOption front with body color(guards red)?
I think those are both worthwhile options. I think you would get extra resale value with those options as well.
Truly Porsche is the ultimate car-enthusiast car. (No pun intended)
It sure is
Snow tires and drive it in the winter?? Good Lord!!
Rear vertical slats also equals 9-9-2 (in addition to the 9-1-1)
Cool, thank you !
I have a 991.2 base model , pdk , chrono , extended leather , Sports steering wheel, sports plus seats , cruise , Bose , heated wheel and seats , folding mirrors and 20”alloys . You really don’t need more power . Only if you are a track guy which I’m not . Base a few options perfect 👍
Perfect indeed
Glenn, what do you think of the non sport plus seats? I heard on the 991.2 the sport seats were a little harder than the sport plus, but for the 992 it seams like the sport seats are more comfortable.
I love the seats in my 991.2
I dont understand blocking the pump. I live in NJ and pull up like the tank is in the back. The pump lines are long enough to reach the front. I dont hog the gas line...Cheers.
Some of the gas stations have pumps that don't reach
I can’t afford the s or the base lol. But I would buy the base and spend money and the features I would want. Anything over 300 is good enough for regular street driving.
Good point. I agree
lol. Did the check engine light came on?
I could be wrong but I think I saw a video showing real life 0-60 times. base was 3.5sec. And gt3 was 3.3. English guy on the track.
Cool, thanks for sharing. They are plenty fast, that's for sure
I’ve been waiting for an allocation for a 992 911 Carrera 4 since last October. (2021)
I really like the idea of the base model and adding some options, ie all wheel, ( I live in Oregon….just a good feeling) sport chrono and sport exhaust. Sport seats. Paint upgrade. (Carrera white)
I did this with my 2017 Macan S and it worked out very nicely.
Any thoughts, comments ??
I live in the northesast where AWD is a good thing for a daily. I think I would go Carrera 4 as well. Congrats on the 992, hope you get it soon. I have a 2017 base Carrera now, rear drive, since it is not a daily, with sport chrono, sport exhaust, manual seats.
@@GlennsCarCollection Thanks, Glenn. You saw the options I’m looking at.
Are there any you’d add, subtract or “must have” ??
And this will be my “daily driver”…..
I made a 1974 Corvette a “closet queen” and what a stupid move.
Still in storage……what a gorgeous waste !
@@GlennsCarCollection Glenn….we “spoke” about 8 months ago….I was awaiting an allocation for a C4.
In January I was advised I would never see a C4……but they would get me either a C2S or C2.
I went with a C2 and optioned the car with the “S” money. I an old man…..and I figure I try to make 385 hp work and hope my fellow 911 owners would not throw rocks at me.
Options included sport Chrono, sport exhaust, extended range (23 gal) tank, light sound glass, yellow ring tach and belts, GT sport wheel, adaptive cruise control, 14 way seats wrapped in Agate Grey Metallic.
It’s supposed to off-load in Benicia, Ca tomorrow !!
Then, after it clears the port, it’ll go to Sunset Porsche in Beaverton, Or.
I’m pretty excited, to say the least.
I appreciated your input….
All the best to you….
( and I’ve joined RENNLIST….great resource….nice folks. )
I would like the base but they dont make these with a manual anymore.
yep, unfortunately you have to step up to the S to get the manual. My 991.2 base it the last base with a manual
Cool video and greatcar
thanks
Loving that just needs a manual.
Good point
Check engine light?
the check engine light issue has been corrected by Porsche dealer. Computer module needed to be updated.
I have a 997.2 that is a wide body. But I don't get the lure of wide body, one can barely see the difference
Good point
is this as fast as your tuned 991.2?
My car is not tuned. it is stock. they feel about the same
Check engine light giving me anxiety
I've owned many old BMWs so I am used to it
1:28 also “992”
Time for Mark's Guessing Game
What would I change on this base model...hint, a frequent lament
add a manual transmission?
@@GlennsCarCollection ....
That was a softball pitch....
Paddles are for canoeing
Can you describe the lag with more details or examples?
turbo lag, you can see in the video, when i press the car it takes a few rpms to get the turbos going. the turbos you exhaust gases to run so when you press the car it goes through the engine first then the turbos. That amount of time is the lag. Porsche tend to have less lag than other brands by using smaller turbo's that spool up sooner. Mark IV Supras are usually modified from two smaller sequential turbos to one big turbo. That produces big power but this is a lot of lag. I hope that helps
@@GlennsCarCollection my BMW 540 have two lags:
1. When i press the gas pedal, there is a little lag for the engine to accept my command.
2. The other lag is the turbo as you described
So, this 911 does not have any engine lag, just turbo?
Do you thing the next-gen hybrid can solve this turbo lag?
Porsche= best value? 😆
Yes !
