    "The secret to Porsche's success is not the number of horses, but how well trained they are."
    Really really well-said.

      Yes, She Sure Is...this is the first time I'm seeing her. Great review.
      Good, expressive descriptions that are
      well put for me. No one else, in all the other reviewers, ever even mentioned that all important feature that I didn't know was there.. and that would be VERY HELPFUL to keep the front from scraping..and in case you forgot...the car didn't! I love it. And I hope to see her review the faster cars..those are the only ones I'm choosing from. This Porsche Turbo S 4S or the GTC4LussoV12.
      BC I have to have bothe. It imperative!!

    What I like about the 911 - Very well engineered car, handles well, nice drive, very sporty, hold value pretty decent for higher end car.... What I dont like? it looks like a 2010, 2011 2012 etc... You can hardly tell them apart. They are fairly common, not very rare. Not as many as corvettes on the road, but I do see 911's all the time.

    Have Targas always tucked the roof away like Speedsters? Always thought the roof just popped off and you toss it behind the seats. The mechanical feat of Speedster conversion is what cooled the appeal of them, now it is just rear window or fiberglass cowl and some weight reduction in the choice between the 2. The Speedster might win by a fuzz, the rear window being close would help the car heat up or cool in the cabin, like how a single cab truck does by less volume, and even if it is not worth more, the Speedster is more rare, and has a interesting look, like a v12 is back there, but thank gosh, it is pushbutton convertible, and a v6 or less cranking a PDK or Gated tooth maze. The rear seats would really help on insurance, Roadsters get gouged, even though less occupant responsibility...strange.

  • @robmccall5017
    @robmccall5017 Před 4 lety

    There is a quite obvious explanation why the Roof does not operate whilst Driving: That Mechanism is simply too „fragile“ to allow perfect Fit and stability when e.g crossing bumps or uneven Roads such as Crossroads. Porsche wanted to go safe not to damage the filigrane mechanism; simple as that.
    Besides why not mention that Porsche did NOT manage to get rid of that uncomfortable Wind-Noise resulting from the Roof-Construction, even after installing a new 2-step manual Wind-Deflector; pity that; Reason would be there is simply no Space to install a new Bigger deflector due to using exactly the same Roof as in the predecessor 991.
    Still a lovely Car, yet i love my Gen2 991 Targa 4S, thinking it still looks better, sounds better and has less plastic-Parts on Front and Rear.

      The internal design numbers are used for all Porsche designs. not just the cars, so even though there have been less than generations of the car, they used up almost all the other 9xx numbers on other projects, most of which never saw the light of day.

      @@trewebster5884 They aren't, really. The numbers went in order until the 996, and they realized they only had 3 left. They're re-using 99x numbers that weren't used for 911s, so they stole 991 and 992 from old projects. They can't re-use 993 because that was the 4th 911. 994 was a 3rd-gen 911 turbo. The 995 was a Porsche 928 design test never released, so I suspect they'll re-use that one. Then we're down to 998 and 999, since the 996 and 997 are 5th and 6th gen 911s.

    I really don't get why Porsche keeps re-releasing the Targa. Like T-tops, it was developed when car makers thought the US would outlaw convertibles. Targas haven't made sense since 1983, when the cabriolet came out. The brushed roll bar looks wrong on something modern with no chrome/steel accents. And as far as I can tell, they hardly sell any.

    No, you just didn't figureout the most important thing with Porsche 911: they are absolutely "interesting" cars.
    How can you call McLaren more "interesting" than Porsches?
    All these stupid McLarens are fucking expensive, and cost 50% more than a Porsche base version vehicle. McLarens are the most overrated fucking expensive sports cars, which have major flaws!
    Porsche sports cars are almost bullet proof. British hand built and 50% more expensive sports cars with tons of build quality flaws, I wouldn't call them "more interesting" than a Porsche 911... Which can be also a 911 Turbo S, which literally destroys the fastest "down to earth" McLaren, the 720 S.

    Ya, I want her managing my government's money!
    During the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election, she donated $50,000 to her own campaign. Cleaned that up fast, then, In 2019, she completed payment of her back taxes to the IRS in addition to other outstanding credit card and student loan debt reported during the gubernatorial campaign. Talk about living off the government Stacy, just put that new C4S Targa which is great on your credit cards.
