@scottiecopasetic8315 3 года назад

This is where you should include the vehicles weight. The Cayman 718 GT4 is about 2970lbs so I'm guessing the GTS boxter is maybe 3100lbs tops. I think the C8 z51 is around 3400lbs. I'm a sucker for lightweight cars & it's probably why the 718 GT4 (and now the Lotus Emira) are on my list of potential replacements for M2Comp. Unless I can find an M2 CS w/ a manual. Love your channel! I watch every video (even the soccer mom whips). That Genesis SUV you reviewed the other day was pretty amazing.

It’s the small details that count.

Chevy can’t charge 100k( most likely more) for a base vette like Porsche can a base carrera. They’ve really set themselves up Nicely.

I share the same opinion. The only issue with the Porsche (or most Porches) is the price. In this case, I think this one is ~$40K above its value.

@weasle2904 3 года назад

I don't agree on hold up better in time lol. Porche's are reliable. For a German brand... Compare it to the average American and Japanese cars and they're still unreliable and expensive to maintain. Porshe's require up to $20,000 worth of maintenance in the first 10 years of ownership. An LT based Corvette would stand the test of time way better than the Porsche, ESPECIALLY the engine. The only people who say Porshe's are super reliable are people that have plenty of money and don't really care, and ones that don't actually own a Porsche lmao

Honestly, as much as I've always loved Corvettes, the fact that you can get that 4L Boxster with a manual seals the deal. There will be plenty of time to drive cars where you don't have to do any manual shifting when everything is electric. The only thing better than an amazing sounding NA engine, is an amazing sounding NA engine bolted to an excellent manual gearbox. Gotta go Boxster GTS.

Hi Yuri and Jakub. I’ve had every series of Boxster since 2000 until the 718. I regularly carried golf clubs. You have to remove drivers and woods and lay them down in the rear trunk separately. If you have 2 bags then one set of drivers/woods goes in the Cabin with the passenger. That way 2 bags go in the boot. So if that’s an issue for anyone it definitely can be done. I’ve also tested this with the 718 although I switched to a 911 after the 718 went four-cylinder. Disclaimer: haven’t checked if the GT4.0 engine may reduce size of the rear trunk.

@GadgetyMV 3 года назад

This is the exact comparison I've been waiting for, far more real than comparing the C8 with the 911. I'm very surprised by the drag performance, which was very entertaining to follow. Performance wise it seems similar to what other RU-vidrs have coaxed out of the C8. The GTS seems more nimble on non North American roads and easier to get out of in parking lots. Unfortunately the EU has neutered the GTS sound, it needs a custom exhaust. I love the C8 interior but GM cut all the cool exterior colors after the first year of production. I'm somewhat surprised both chose the C8 as I thought the feel of dancing on the limit in the GTS 4.0 would be more enticing.

Blue Corvette 1LT wZ51 for me. Love this car, makes you feel like a super hero driving it. Everyone waves and stops and smiles as you drive by! I do like that GTS as well, but the Corvette in my spec was MUCH cheaper @ 85K CAD thats a 35-37k difference!

You feel the car (C8) is "jerky" because you have it in Track mode, which has more aggressive shifts. Put the car in Tour, and the shifts are as smooth as butter. My C8 is normally in Track mode (because I love those shifts and downshifts when I get to a light), but on the highway, Tour mode is the better option. That is, until an M3 drives up and they think they can hang.

Although the comparison and review must focus on stock vehicles, we know many enthusiasts will try to improve and customize their car. If you consider tune your car for better performance, definitely the C8 Corvette will give you more room for HP/TQ gains and more options to get it done. Both great cars.

@@ksp3324 American muscle is slow, but at least cheap. Almost all Porsches are slow AF dogs in the wild, because Porsche chases a customer rip off strategy of adding two $50 turbos and upcharging +$100K for HP that happens 3 seconds from now. Turbos can improve anticipated acceleration like 0-60, but provide little value from an arbitrary roll. My SC F-Type (ok, its got a very casual 700HP tune) utterly eviscerates 911 Turbo Ss. 300 ft lb base 911s are in Civic R territory and not worth discussing. Just awful values. The Porsche 911 also leads all luxury brands in reported repair costs, doubling 2nd place trainwreck BMW. The 718 is #3 on the list. So Porsche builds horrendous junk.
