Hey @Donut what the 911 Dakar part shot north of Quebec city canada by any chance ? (stoneham)
My parents said if I hit 10k they'd buy me a professional camera begging you guys literally begging ...
@@Tiger10002 I'm gonna show this to your parents
Finally!!!!! You filmed a part of the track you guys almost never filmed. I now know which variation of the track youre running. Now i can go against your lap times in gran turismo 7 psvr2 baybeeeee
@@samsoum_1207no one knows what the fuk you just said.
Owner: it's not meant to sit in traffic. It's built for the track
Also owner: please, be gentle

To be fair, it wasn't the owner driving it, and it's an expensive car

YEP. Sound like something a Porsche guy would say.
But then again, I'm not exactly know for letting other people drive my cars! 😁
The fact the owner of the 918 Spyder just let them go all out while the GT3 guy is like "be careful" is cracking me up. Also good on the owner of the 918 for actually letting them enjoy it.
I think they were quite careful with the 918 as well. You'd need to be a professional racing driver to get everything it has out of it, and the Donut guys know this. They only sent it on the straights and other parts of the track they knew posed no risk of losing control, I'm sure.
The GT3, if I understand correctly, is a more 'temperamental' type of car. The engine's all the way in the back, like a normal 911, but it's also very light, like the classic 2,7RS. The risk of a slight error in judgement causing disastrous oversteer is not unsignificant. I'm not sure if there is a list out there of people who killed themselves with GT2s and GT3s, but perhaps there should be.
It Isn't weird that you'd say to be careful. It's Vin his dreamcar, Vin drives it. DDE revailed they took over the Hooigan HQ and Vin was one of the 1st people to do Donuts in the old Burnyard, with that exact GT3 RS. He doesnt just baby it like you apparently think lol
the GT3 owner doesn't baby his car, he's just not super into letting someone else crash it for viewsþ he still showed up and lent them his baby
It shows the 2 type of owners. The one who buys it for status and being seen in it and the owner who buys it to drive how it's meant to be driven.
There was a GT3 back in the day near me that he turned into a GT3RS (before they were in the states) that had upgraded suspension, exhaust, full cage, etc and he drove it properly and drove it to and home from the track every single weekend. He's the only Porsche owner I ever met that I actually respected. Plus, he was humble AF. He even has a Lotus and he told me look underneath and that's how I learned they had just one plate covering the suspension and everything. I wonder what happened to that guy. He was an amazing person that didn't let money grow his ego.
Millionaire vs billionaire 😂
Go, little 924, go!
Hey, nobody saw you I did how you doing fine gentlemen
I'd still pick the 924 (or a 944) over everything else in this video. Those things are way too fun to drive.
@@tennolife9930 this comment makes me happy as I do the mecanic on my father's 944 turbo and want to buy a 924 :)
@@tennolife9930 I love the 924 but I got a 928 and I fell in love with it
we think it did pretty well! They definitely had a lot more fun with the car than they let on in the video!
Vin "its not meant to be driven for groceries, its meant to be on the track"
also Vin " how about a mild lap"
“Just keep it under 3k alright?” 😂
how about you buy a 300k car then trust a bunch of random strangers to take it to pound town?
@@mistathugdesolationdid he not say that they were best friends?
that was sarcasm
@@mistathugdesolationAre you sure? The way they interact seems like they do know each other.
Honestly, I'm struggling to comprehend and appreciate just how much work went into this episode; all the members of the cast in different parts of the country, talking to significant individuals about their vehicles and some details. The editing, the audio work, the vfx, everything.
absolutely mind boggling what they`ve done for like 20 minutes of content.
Nah mid video but it had potential though. Shame
It’s a tough job but someone has to do it. 😂
918 really has a timeless design. Can’t believe it’s almost 10 years old.

My favorite Carrera GT is 20 years old, not much changed, really timeless design...
Looks the same as a Carrera GT that's a 20 years old one... 😋
they could have released it this year and it would still look ahead of its time, one of the best-looking cars ever.
Timeless??
Once it ages more but 10years and to say it's timeless come on
The sheer level of joy that the guys felt driving the 918 around is EXACTLY why Porsche is my all time favorite car maker. They make cars for the sole purpose of having the most fun while driving
Dude about 5 years ago i got a 1983? OR 86? 944 Na for $800. It took me two years of weekend wrenching to restore that thing. I loved it. Handled so well and ran great with the stock engine when i got it all going! I went cheap as F with the restoration to stock. $2k paint job and all... Never thought anyone would offer to buy it. was just a fun little ride to add to my collection. One day at a Cars and Coffee, a dude made me an offer i couldn't refuse. Bought it off me for 3 times the value of the car. Something about how it had sentimental value because his dad had the same color and interior, etc. Wife was super happy since she thought it was a money sink...I regret selling that car every day of my life.
If you've never regretted selling a car, are you even a car person?
@@backwoodstherapy Cars are pain, indeed.
I’m 18 now and I remember exactly when your talking about because I wanted one so bad but was told I was too young at the time (I was)
@@backwoodstherapy Yea man, truer words have never been spoken. I'm still regretting selling it every time i think about it because the wife used the $$ to put in a pool. Should never have sold it!
Fun fact: Magnus Walker is responsible for these older porsches ridiculous inflation
Judging from all the goodness he has hoarded over there... probably, yeah.
I saw him at a park driving a Lamborghini Espada lol
@Snappy650 I actually got invited to an event to see him here in Miami but I humbly passed on that 🤣🤣 I always wanted an air cooled vintage 911 but I'm not paying those crack prices
thats the opposite of fun fact
Him and the Akira Nakai too
as an owner of a 987 cayman, so happy to see this get the love it deserves. Seriously for the cost *NOTHING* compares.
I absolutely agree I had two of them and had 0 mechanical issues. And infinite smiles. Matches the excitement of a super car for 1/5 of the price.
how’s maintenance? like price wise
There was a Cayman S for sale on my local Facebook marketplace for I think $18,000. With 186,000 miles on the clock. Looked just about new. So with proper maintenance and all that, I can see these going for a long time
@@2wavyaxa139 It just depends on how old and used all the parts are. All parts on a Porsche have a timeline and/or wear limit. Keep them up and in theory the cars can last pretty much forever.
Of course when keeing them up means they need new cylinder liners thats still a job thats on the cards but you're going to be looking at a big bill for it.
A good inspection is worth its weight in gold for these things. If you get lucky you can drive one relatively cheaply but if you get one thats on the edge of a lot of wear items its going to cost many thousands to bring it back to spec.
Mileage doesn't really matter so much as the condition of everything but mileage can give clues as to whats likely to have been changed or need changing soon.
Track work is worth around 500 miles of road use for each mile on track so far as wear goes.
The cayman would be better than the 911 if they allowed it to be, change my mind.
Whoever owns that 918 deserves a medal for being that cool.
The absolute joy on everyone's faces as they drove the Spyder was absolutely infectious.
You guys should build 944s for HiLow
Yeah they would need to fully restore the thing before modding it💀
Yes
@@nathanb9987hi low restoration series
Yes
@@nathanb9987 Maybe not that one in particular
That 1987 for 3k would probably be the only Porsche I could afford
My parents said if I hit 10k they'd buy me a professional camera begging you guys literally begging ...
@Mr.Tiger444 nothing worse than begging bro.
Ew
3k Is the only amount of money i would give for a glorified beetle
Missed out an 964 turbo ride on car for $75
Yeah and imagine an insane engine swap , it would definitely look like a sleeper build
As a lifelong Porsche admirer, this video was just what I needed. Beautiful cars. Loved the reactions in the 918. Possibly, my second favourite car of all time after the McLaren F1.
Love how polite and awkward James was with Magnus lol. He was super respectful and appreciative. That’s what the car community is about
I look forward to the 918 being in the next installment of High Low
🤣
I really hope they add on to the series, High Low and Junk. Where the Junk has to be parts sourced from junkyards, salvage auctions, and local trade groups. Obviously safety equipment not being part of that.
@@GrumpyIan I think that would be fantastic.
18:59 perfect reaction to the 918 spider
Should see when Throttle House tested it, was basically this too, lol.
Nolan was having a big O.
been a big fan of Donut since the channel started and I can tell the massive difference between then and now. This is an excellent production with all our favorite characters of Donut. This video with this interaction and liberty to be as dynamic as the test drive makes it a real petrolhead enthusiast content. Friendly hugs and kisses to my best friend Nolan.
guys, I love your videos and have watched them ever since your early early days. Seeing your love of the cars, your raw reactions, and just everyone's faces light up truly makes me happy. You guys make me feel like I'm right in the passenger seat with you. Has always meant a lot to me. Keep on being such amazing, genuine people.
Seeing Vin and Magnus was amazing!!! Makes me think back to the good days of Hoonigan
What's a hoonigan?

Agreed! What happened to Hoonigan? Hopefully Hert will be featured on Donut some time.
I saw the car and screamed! WALKER!!!!!
@@fantaguyrealgo away!
Everybody whining about, “Why not this car, why not that car?”
Donut can’t snap its fingers and make any car they want just show up for a shoot. There has to be a car available and someone has to let them use it.
Exactly. Thank you for pointing this out.
Porshe owners club of southern CA mailing list has 10,000 people on it, say 12,000 cars.... and a total number of 150 cars that ever get danced in.
This came out the day I saw a nice 924 on marketplace, this is a sign from God, THANK YOU
Yalls motorfest playlist was 11/10 everything yall do is amazing hyped for the video🔥
the "slow down" by nolan got me
Yeah Justin was so calm and cool while driving flat out.
Real fear
He didnt want to get "walker'd"
@@SethsPhonethat was a different car
Not a good psgr..
Seeing the guys drive that spyder and smiling. that put a smile on my face too. It was like I could feel what they were going through at that moment. Awesome video.
Came here looking for this comment, I second this for sure!
I work at a Porsche track shop/race team. I gotta say, as a mechanic, Porsche is the best. Sometimes the mid and rear engine cars can be slightly annoying to work on, but they just do everything so well.
Also, our shop track car is a 987.2 cayman, just a base, but with some high quality nitron coilovers, seats, belts, and good brake pads and fluid, and good tires… that thing is a unit. Especially once you have an lsd.
What team?
@@acimotorsports Hot Wheels probably.
This was one of the best videos I have watched so far on YT, it put a huge smile on my face, thanks guys!
I love the difference in Nolan's reaction in the spyder. Going from super excited and loving it when driving but terrified when in the passenger seat 😂😂😂
5:37 props to the editors for that clean transition
May seem silly, but the pure joy y’all express in some of these videos is fantastic.
I was so Happy to see Vin on the Channel. It was like a donut Easter egg. Keep up the good work guys Thankyou for your years of entertaining and educational content.
Lunch break video!!!!
That's what I'm saying!
Depends on from which time zone you’re watching
Literally me rn
Hell yeah
On break rn watching it😂
Met a guy who had a MINT condition 924s manual and like 95% original. Sat and talked to him about it for an hour, he loves that car with all his person. He lovingly calls it the “backwards Porsche”
This was next level.. topic put aside, the presentation and editing is awesome. It got me excited to see what you bring us next.
Something about bespoke Porsches. Singer, Gunther, RWB. Definitely would be my first pick from this video.
Im sure you all loved driving the 918 and I hope everyone got to drive that beauty
The 918 Spyder is definitely peak Porche I would love to own or drive one in my life

The 918 went from my least favorite of the holy trinity as a kid to now being my favorite. It’s so timeless
They all are timeless i even prefer the P1 design than the newer McLaren models. Only the LaFerrari looks older next to the SF -90

You guys have the best jobs in the world honestly. Seeing the pure joy in your faces driving these insane machines just makes me so happy to see how far Donut has come. Keep up the amazing content fellas! I’m here for it!
We gotta appreciate the effort put into each video. The promoting of the new merch, the way they paid for every car to test drive. You guys literally did what me and my friends wanted to do 😇🙏🏽 now we just have built cars lmao good stuff guys love the new merch!
Vin and Jerry being buds made my day.
“if that’s the case james, send me to the soup kitchen and give me a line of sweet sweet powder” man wtf nolan lmao
love my 87 911.... blows in LA traffic, but a dream in the canyons around LA.. great vid!
Probably my most favorite video from donut to date! Love to see you guys enjoying Porsches
The shot of James and Jeremiah in the red Porsche 918 is the coolest shot I’ve seen in a YT ad
16:10
I had a 1987 Porsche 944 and man that puppy was fun! Wish I never gave it up. The thing was a hunk of junk because of the previous owner, but it was MY hunk of junk ❤
Their great! My first car, my daily driver, still enjoying it 11 years later.
Absolutely loved the 'Driving Porsches from $3,000 to $3,000,000' video! It's fascinating to see such a wide range of Porsches, showcasing the incredible diversity and evolution of the brand through the years. From the humble beginnings to the pinnacle of automotive luxury and performance, this journey was a real treat for any car enthusiast. The comparison gives a unique perspective on what makes Porsche such an enduring and beloved marque. The passion and knowledge of the hosts made the video not only informative but also highly entertaining. Can't wait to see more content like this, exploring the depth and breadth of automotive history and performance!
Videos like this feel like a life bonus, one for the bois and one for me. What a very pleasant 20 minutes.
We love a 924. They're just peak fun car for "cheap". I want one to put a 20v 1.8T into I feel like that would be awesome
2.7T FIT? 😈

People love to hate on the 924 but love the scirocco and golf of the same era. That to me is interesting.
I had a mk2 golf I swapped a 1.8t. Loved that thing. I have a 924 turbo now running about 240hp now, it's awesome to drive
I agree with Vin! Driving is hard and that makes it so fun! Feeling the grip and the weight transfer. Love it
I have been watching donut for years, this is probably the best video you guys have ever made. The amount of work and time and effort and money and passion that went into This is unreal. Amazing work
i loved that 1987 so much, i wish they could make a series about that car
us too!
Man I just love how Porsches look in general. Maybe it's the VW Bug lover in me, maybe it's my obsession with the Wangan Midnight "BlackBird" but whenever I see a Porsche it just makes me happy.
Jame's smile while driving the 277 with Magnus is so amazing. What an experience.
Vin 100% had that "Why did I agree to let this person drive my dream car" look the whole time LMFAO
I absolutely love the 924. I'd love to have one or the 944
we go back and forth all the time, but they're both awesome cars! can't go wrong with either.
Someone who live in Quebec and go to the salon de l’auto is kind nostalgic seeing that off road 911 driven in some real condition for this car
Exact! Je l'ai vue au salon de l'auto de Québec la semaine dernière. J'ai fais le saut en voyant MSA en arrière plan... Hey! C'est chez nous!
@@honestolive1567 Pas mal sûr que c'est Stoneham! j'ai fait le saut aussi ahah
@@jeronimimo Oui je te confirme que c'est bien à stoneham. Ca me rends fous de penser que j'aurais pu les voir (je vais skier à stoneham). J'ai passé à deux doigts de croiser donut media Noooooooon :-(

C'est à stoneham, je confirme.Ils ont passés à côté de moi pendant que je travaillait j'étais sous le choc hahahha
DONUT! I Had a project 944 n/a(1985/1 which meant it was on the old interior and halfway through 85' called the 1985/2 and looks similar to that of the 911's from the same era wherebit doesnt even look old! But i digress...) couple years back, it was one of my favorite slow cars to drive fast, it's essentially the 924 but the wide fender body built into it unlike the 924 s with the bolt on pieces(which is still awesome). I updated the paint to a phantom gray, added Porsche Twists with some sticky tires, and had a blast every time I drove it! Thanks for doing this video!! Love you guys!!!
The 918 Spyder is one of my fav cars of all time. Hammond's review of it on TopGear, on the Abu Dhabi Yas Marina Circuit is such a beautiful memory. I visited the track myself partly bcuz of it
The reactions to the 918 were awesome. It really is amazing what Porsche can do. Love the videos guys, keep it up!
918 Spyder looks like it was built yesterday. Aged very, very well, what a machine
Such an impressive line-up of Porsches in the video, each with their own unique charm. The level of craftsmanship in Gunther is actually mind-boggling. Props to the owner of the Porsche 918 for allowing a spin in his $3 million marvel!
Damn, guys! You're really stepping it up with these videos! I love it. I hope to see more of Vin on the channel too. Thank you! 👍👍
That Spyder looks like a thing out of video games, looks and sounds crazy
That's bc video games are the only way normal fucks like us can see them
I've been watching Donut media from when the just live streamed parking a formula one car on the street. The production value just keeps going up and rivals most car shows that have been produced. keep up the good work guys!
Also I loved the video. Been following donut since day 1 and I have nothing but good stuff to say about you guys keep it pushing
I like the Gunther and the cougar selling it
I saw the first gt3 come out and i said man that looks like Vins😂 cool to see you in a donut video!
I’d like to request a maintenance video. One that covers all necessary maintenance on a car. What to do and when to do it. Like standard oil changes, break fluid, break pads, and belts. To more in-depth maintenance like gaskets, trans oil, and water pumps. I got a 2006 colorado with 200k miles and im told I should’ve done a few of these years ago. Please id love a video like this.
This one was epic Donut crew!!! So many sweet collabs and cars!! Best video yet, the amount of work that must have gone into organising all this, chefs kiss 💋
Tbh the 3k Porsche looks something like a battle machine car for NFS Prostreet ❤❤❤
16:00 “It’s hard to believe that things could get even more expensive than this”
Editor: cuts to promotional segment for Donut merchandise… 😂
So glad to see Vin again!
bruh, the zoom out from the racetrack to the world map and then the zoom back into the garage is next level. The editing on this channel is amazing, and I can't wrap my head around how to technically execute some of it. It's bonkers to me. I'd love to know how to do that zoom out effect.
I don't necessarily care about cars, at all. But I love this channel. I love all the dudes they got on here and how much love and passion they have for cars is infectious enough to make me start wanting to upgrade my daily driver. I still really miss "up to speed" but I think you guys got everything covered. keep up the great work and I can't wait to see where you guys go next.
i think a maybe you should stop kidding yourself and start saying you like cars haha
Life is too short to drive boring vehicles. How many hours do you spend in your car each day on average? Do the math to calculate the time per year. Then multiply that by at least 40 years.
These types of videos are the best 🔥

This was too much fun. Do more stuff like this with other brands. Thanks for the vids!
this series is like the new Up to Speed, and im all here for it
18:54 For this filling we love cars guy
Porsche has been my favorite car brand ever since before I even knew it and will never disappoint with the capitulation of time styling through every model and the luxury imbedded inside it
One of the best Donut vids to date. 🙌 driving the different cars in different settings and editing them together they way it was done was tits. 🤜🤛 shout out to the whole squad 🥳
“I was like nice! Like we had a chance” 😂😂
I have a modified 924 with a 2.5 turbocharged 5cyl pushing 490hp in it and it's soooo much fun.
woah, sounds rowdy!
camera work around the track was superb. great video donut crew!
Such a good one. Loved seeing all those Porsches and the Gunter-Werks shop. And cool to see Vin as well! I would have loved to drive the 918 in real life 😭😭😭 its my go to on RR3 on my phone 🤣
hey can i have the 924? ill give u a high five?
For just straight up looks, the Gunther Werks is nice
Yeah, she was pretty fine
Killer content. Could have stretched it into multiple eps but this is some condensed sweetness.
im enjoying the new vibes donut is bringing. will be a good year
Never been this early to a Donut video, love the content!! ❤❤❤
You should do a Porsche Cayman S high car, low car
Love these videos please do more like it!!
Man, best donut vid for a while, so good
Nice seeing the 924. I have three and a parts car. Ones a 924 SCCA car, a 931 being built for champ car, and one stock
sounds like you got one for every situation! love it.
Honestly I couldn't tell how fast the 918 from the video, but nolan's reaction at 19:06 gave me goosebumps. Thank you.
0-60 it was faster than the 992 turbo s. Laptime wise given the latest cup2r it would probably be under 6:50 at nurburgring too. A g meter would help in video definitely though.
Pure moments of happiness during the 918 testing. Nice
Dude. Glad your visited QC in winter!
20:49 James got me rolling💀
best part of the video lmao
