I don't like to reply to my own comment it's often but I guess there's one thing more to add... where are you using 400 to 500 600 700 horsepower on public roads? I drive a fairly modest Audi and I run out of road getting on the freeway, or in corners or local streets pretty quickly in the mid-200s... If 450-500 isn't enough for you to smoke everyone in traffic or on your local roads, you might have some ego problems or skill issues, after 170-250 your passing just about everyone in a sporty or aggressive nature.
You can drive a turbo S on this exact track. He’s at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta. Last I checked it was like $1300 to take one out with a professional driving instructor
Holy sh**, if there was ever a testimonial to the power of that car, it's that it can make your stomach twist just by watching a video of being in it. WOW.
I did the drifting at ATL with the Turbo S and did the same things Ted did. It took me a few tries as well before I got it as well. I wish the Turbo S had an option to enable the rear wheels only. That is one feature I feel is missing from the car. The Porsche experience is something every car nut should do. It really gave me an idea of what my Turbo S can do!
This car is as fast as a supercar and as reliable as any premium German car. I can drive it flat-out on the German autobahn and that every day of the week. If I try doing it with my Ferrari F355, I will breakdown within the week. I prefer my Porsche 911 as a daily driver.
Thanks for sharing this. I was in a GT3 at PECLA and besides the facilities and cars what was really memorable were the instructors. Instead of shaming you for missing a countersteer at the drift zone or not quite getting close to the apex on the track, they gas you up and want you to push harder and have fun! :)
honestly this motivated me to slide by the porsche center in atlanta. amazing review of the car and in depth look at how it would really feel to drive it on the daily with some fun included
Honestly these 2 vids have been so much fun. Such a fun course, really nice & fun instructors, fantastic weather and 10/10 Porsches to play with. Love this spec, honestly with this paint job I even kinda like the colour matched rear diffuser. To be fair, this spec but top down and I can't name a better three season daily for myself, maybe even 4 if I was willing to take proper care of it during winter and prep it accordingly.
I have a 2023 Convertible Turbo s amazing car it beats anything on the street no matter the horse power the other car has and is great handling around curves I have so much fun with this car if you ever have a chance to have this car you will love it even pre-owned best kick ass street car I'm sure even on the track but I don't do that you only live one's it's amazing
These cars are serviced and maintained by Porsche at their North American headquarters....I'd be pretty shocked if they weren't checking tire pressure before sending people to drive them on the handling circuit
Awesome. I've already made plans to go experience something like this at Porsche Experience Centre Shanghai with my cousin. Still deciding whether I should go with the 718 + GT4RS package or the Turbo S.
I have a 992 Turbo S. It is a remarkable achievement, by any standard. My only complaint is that it is so well refined that it comes off as sterile. My 812 Superfast is nothing like this, yet comes off as a bit unhinged, in a good way. The 911 is a perfect car, which is a bit underwhelming. I know, it sounds weird. I might flip this for a GT3 Touring.
Went to PEC ATL for my 30th birthday back in 2021. Did the GT3/Turbo S package. Unfortunately the S was down for maintenance that day as was the skid plate so had to settle for the Carrera 4s.Otherwise loved the facility and would go back.
I was wondering,how much it cost to go to the one of these events in us.Ik when GT3 RS came out Porsche made an 2 day event at Spa wheee you could learn evrything about new GT3 and also drive any Porsche.All that fun was 15.000€(13+k$).So was this cheaper or the same price?
As much as I love mine, I'm seriously wondering about the new-new Vantage. Forget depreciation and "trading down", I just think it might be a more fun and emotional car.
3:36 Interesting how "snaps, crackles, and pops" line up exactly with the 4th, 5th, and 6th derivatives of position. Looks like you have an engineering degree Tedward😉
I have a 2023 TTS and moving to a Lambo Tecnica. As good as the Porsche is, it lacks the emotion that the Tecnica brings to the table. Since you have driven both on the street, what do you think?
I think I’d still prefer a gt3 but the lambo is just a joy to drive. The tecnica was a riot on canyon roads and the exhaust will wake you right up. My gripes with Lamborghini usually revolve around interior quality. It’s a lot of money and the plastic switches rival Honda. But you forget pretty fast when you crack the throttle. There’s no wrong answer. You’ll be happy with either
@@TedwardDrives Thank you for your candid response and your feedback. I just love the raw yet angular look of the Tecnica from all angles. The GT3 is the best overall but I don't get that emotion that I get with the Tecnica when I see it in person. It is just insane visually to me. I also hear that it is reliable and will be fun to drive on the weekends here in Orange County, California.
I won't lie, I watched your last turbo S video where you went to cars and coffee like 10 times in one day so I'm glad you made another. That was on christmas day because I woke up from a dream about driving a turbo s and I had to go find some POV footage since I didn't have access to a turbo s lol.
@@TedwardDrives that's awesome, been a fan since the american needs unrestricted speed limits video as well as the how to avoid speeding tickets video, I subconsciously apply the information I learned in those videos every day while driving.
@@TedwardDrives It’s well deserved. I’m going back through your videos a few at a time and very much enjoying them. You present well and drive excellently. Looking forward to future videos.
