When Jay talked about not being able to fit a McD's single patty through for gaps, they both laughed hysterically for several minutes with tears coming from their eyes. These are moments I'll always remember. ...and I agree, the manual transmission is the way to go on this car and most cars.

He is, in fact, not doing launch control (properly). There's no display of it on the dash, which you most certainly would see. He only revs it to 2-3k too. A proper launch control is 1. put it into sport plus and put the PDK into automatic. 2. floor the accelerator ALL the way to the floor until you depress the kickdown button on the ground directly behind the pedal. It will set its own revs. 3. it will then start bouncing off the rev limiter. Release the brake.

I want to see the engine and imagine it shifting in the mounts as I'm driving. It's not because Jay is old: Singer makes good money selling that experience. I know Porsche has to do this because of regulations and lawsuits, but the car is less, no doubt. You know those crappy old 70s and 80s cars? They are more fun to drive than a brand-new Honda Si.

I always thought a boxer engine was called that because of the opposing cylinders. That’s why watching Jay is so great. He is the top expert about vehicle history. I never finished one of his videos without learning something. Thanks Mr. Leno!

@jackprick9797 3 года назад

I had heard the same, but I think Jay has it wrong. I am just conjecturing here, but Porches early engines and Volkswagen's of course were 4 cylinder. If you would look at the top of the pistons in the horizontal plane, you would see two pistons coming out and back in to the cylinder bores, like two gloves. I think thats how the flat engine design got called the boxer. Jay's explanation doesn't make sense because all cranks, as they turn will have the rod journals coming over the top. Anywho, i love the video and Jay anyway.

@roberthooper8455 3 года назад

I thought it was based on the stroke being square or something like that. Probably depends on who you are hanging around with....

@jackprick9797 3 года назад

From Subaru website: "The 'Boxer' engine is so called because the movement of the engine's pistons resemble the movement of a boxer's fists in the horizontal plane." The boxer analogy is most closely resembled by a flat 4, as daimler's, porsche's and volkswagen's early engines. Once you go to a configuration of more pistons, 6, 8, etc. Well, the analogy is not as close, as no boxer that I know of has more than two arms, but I guess the name stuck.

@user-jf8gd3lv7q 3 года назад

@alunchisholm481 3 года назад

On a boxer, the pistons are connected to separate cranks opposed at 180 degrees, so both pistons go out, then they come back in, so pairs of pistons "box" each other. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y5oRsvRH_Ig.html

Reminds me of a joke Johnny Carson told years ago on The Tonight Show, and I still remember it. He said McDonald's had started a hamburger delivery service and if you're not home they just slide them under your door. Would have been before the Big Mac and other burgers had came out and all they sold were those small single burgers.

I have to admit that once you get "Porsche" in your blood that's it for life. I bought a 1971 911 T coupe in '72 from a guy for $6,000. Loved the car. But life changes and I had to sell it a few years later. Then I got a '91 Carrera 2 coupe. Both those cars had manual transmissions and I loved the '91 as well. Porsche 911's don't do any one thing the best. But they do everything really well. Finally about 18 months ago I bought a 2015 Carrera Coupe 911S and this will probably be my last car. Finally got a dual clutch automatic (age and Los Angeles traffic made it the smart move). Very quick and fun car to drive. I've always lusted after a Turbo S coupe, but the price is just too daunting (not to mention how much trouble I would probably get in driving it!). Anyway, great video Jay. Thanks for taking one for the team! Ha!

His comment about not putting miles on the car is so true. I put 6000 miles on my first Porsche in 5 months of ownership. I would find excuses to drive around every day. There's nothing better than waking up early on a weekend morning to cruise the city while everyone else sleeps. I saw a lot of other great Porsches during these hours too!

Flogging your engine was a regular maintenance tip back in the age of carburetors. With 3-speed transmissions you hold it in 2nd or don't shift into 3rd if it's manual and drive down the highway at 55.

I bought a 4S targa back in 2017. I never thought I would buy a 911, however I loved the targa to and the lines on the car. I think it is the best looking 911. The car as Jay said makes you feel very confident as it does everything so well and so easy. Everything is effortless. Not being able to see the engine bothered me at first, however I love hearing the engine wind up right behind me. It is so smooth and wonderful to listen to. I think it is a car I am going to keep for life.

@gus.smedstad 3 года назад

I've come to appreciate AWD in a 911 on dry pavement. Jay mentions in passing that it's really stable, and that's exactly what I like about it. The car really wants to over-rotate due to the weight in the rear, and the AWD makes that a non-issue for a guy who isn't an expert race car driver. The car feels ridiculously planted and safe in a way that no that no previous sports car I've owned has felt.

If you want open air motoring, buy a convertible or a motorbike. I've had a couple targa top cars and they're a PITA to deal with.

@kevins7093 3 года назад

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH I currently own a targa and I've owned it for over 10 years now and it's actually pretty awesome. It weighs about as much as two gallons of milk, it's held in place with three simple and secure latches and it takes (literally) 2 minutes to pop out and stow in the trunk where it snaps easily into place. It doesn't have to be this complicated, uber expensive thing which Porsche has turned it into was my whole point.
