Is the 2022 Porsche 911 GTS a BETTER performance car than a C8 Corvette? 

Hello Apostle Joe, you know you're doing good when you're driving the Apostle to 5he Sports car.

@@luiselapostolfeliz2421 thanks my friend.

@@RaitisRides The C8 is also the Apostle to the Sports Cars.

@DeadRinger You got it!

It's going to be weird to have all the next episodes presented with a high pitched voice...after Lori cuts your nuts off when she finds out...who tf is Tallie?

Lmao regardless of which generation? If its 10 years old then you’re just poor

I’d rather own my 4 Corvettes. 911’s are junk.

@@craigthescott5074 that's right. Overpriced Porsches. Buy American cars.

@@craigthescott5074 Yank cars are made of paper mache 😂😂😂. Body panels with gaps as big as your fingers, not to mention the crap plasticky cheap interiors.

@@user-io4sr7vg1v Well, you ain't wrong.

@@user-io4sr7vg1v the beetle is a porsche design.. BOOM

I can understand where you are coming from Mike!

Damn. Thanks for posting this. Now I’m sure I need to drive one before I leave this earth.

I have always wanted to own or at least drive a 991.2 911 Turbo S. I really like the 992, but the 991.2 really hits home for me for some reason.

991.2 took every corner at ludicrous speeds, the z06 did do 190+ on 91 octane in 1/2 mile race but where can you do that only twice a year at an airport event. I say this for AWD 911, I'm sure the RWD 911s will run into same issue as z06 with to much HP too. 991.2/992 might be an investment since its last of pure ICE before they get more electrified. It seems most 911s are just going up and up.

itsMike The 911 Turbo S is an awesome car, GTS blah, I would go C8 over GTS, at MSRP the C8 is the one. If you can get a 911 Turbo S at a reasonable price, relative to MSRP then that’s my top pick, C8 would be second.

I think you may be right!

Sounds like a plan Bill!

Thanks for letting me take you for a ride in it!

Price difference is about $60k. GTS is a driver’s car. Believe me 90% of ANY 911’s performance cannot be properly utilized on the road.

@@jakes5530 I know prices, performance and usability are completely different. I was trying to say I wouldn't put my money on a GTS but I would with the Turbo S or some other model.

@@omarcortes5754 Omar I would not waste my cash on the GTS either, GTS is butt ugly. 911 Turbo S or GT3, anything else is a waste of money. I would go C8 over GTS.

I got the GTS because I love manual. I am loving my GTS. I daily it now. I sold my other daily car since it was no fun!

It really is gorgeous!

@@RaitisRides very true

Those lighter colors really accentuate the curves in daylight. Them hips look nice from behind

@@kmlckd I argree

@@RaitisRides by the way. You have another one of those telegram scammers in the comments

C8 looks like a transformer.. i want a classy timeless car.

Just got my Dolomite 2022 GTS manual trans. Love it. had a 2020 Carrera Cabriolet with PDK, didn't care for how it felt with that trans. Manual makes the car feel completely different.

@@markchrist4044 Mark congrats! My dolemite silver manual is being shipped to me as I write this. Can’t wait-hope u r enjoying yours!

After having a daily driven 6 speed C5 for the last 23 years, an AUTO sounds so good to my legs lol, but I agree the connectivity is fun, and I definitley feel more connected then when I drive my auto truck, but...man an auto carerra s would be my perfect vehicle, with a tune :)

Glad to read this since pdcc isn’t available currently (I‘m from Germany) :)

I am glad that you are digging this one Jeremiah!

Trust me I know how you feel Mike!

Thanks Bobby for going ON THROTTLE with me!

You got it

2X the price...

Tasteless

This is true!

@@HiBunnyGames that only applies to the united states, in the rest of the world and where i live the base c8 costs $200k much more expensive than a 911 gts and even more expensive than a gt3 so the z06 would be even more expensive

@@HiBunnyGames yes. You pay for what you get. I'm sorry but porche is better at every single aspect of building a sports car. The Turbo S is the greatest ROAD car ever made. Chevy won't even try to build a car in that segment.

I have a 992 GTS. Similar specs to the one shown. Also same color. I have had two cars for almost 5 years now until recently. Once I drove my manual GTS I really lost interest on driving my volvo. So I sold it and now I am just driving the 911 Daily. it is so much fun!!

Yes I am!

I like the way that you think.

You are so very right about that!

You hit the nail on the head!

Trust me it was.

Let's do this!

@@RaitisRides Heck yeah man!!

Thanks for sharing your ownership experience.

The materials in the GTS are actually better quality than napa leather and suede. I've seen C8's with low miles that already have wrinkles in the seats and look like they have 40K miles on them. Real leather isn't all it's cracked up to be.

my kids and allll the parents at their school love that our school delivery vehicle is a 911 (993) - kids turn out better growing up in a 911 as well, so more ROI

That means so much!

I know how you feel about that.

It is a difficult choice for sure!

It will be on the way!

But is Not a 911……

The question was which gets "better performance", and the Porsche does hands down. Cost/benefit analysis is subjective. Performance on all levels is far more objective. Yes, you pay for Porsche's performance, but having owned both, the 911 outperforms the Corvette on almost every level. Yeah, you pay for it. Yeah, that price is not worth it for everybody. However, to me, it's a no brainer on pure performance.

Oh man that would be a dream!

You are so very right Tom!

What I thought as well 992 💯

So very true!

For a base gts with shit interior quality. If you want a gts that’s actually specced nice it’ll be around 200k. Fully loaded it’s around 225k.

You nailed it.

Those competes with the regular C8 Stingray.

@@RaitisRides Not dollar for dollar. If you can get a Z06 at MSRP, they start at $106k. For $150k (like this GTS) you can get a loaded Z06 with all the track goodies

Trust me I know how you feel!

I like the way that you think.

Good idea

@@Reaperguy67 Thank You

@@Sunjib12345 you are welcome

@@Reaperguy67 My Fav Car is 2022 Porsche Cayenne Coupe E-Hybrid

@@Sunjib12345 nice. I'm a jeep person myself. I also like the Ford gt from 2019 , 2005 and the earlier 60s model as well. Plus when it comes to Porsche I like the 911 turbo s , I also like the 2005 Porsche Carrera gt as well

You can always get a model of it . By the way. Don't text the telegram scammer in your comment.

I know how you feel!

@@Reaperguy67 Thanks for having my back!

@@RaitisRides you are welcome

Same bro, same

I daily my 992 GTS. It can also do it all, but I would still choose a 911 GTS over a c8 just for the fact that you can get a manual transmission

Thanks for sharing that thought process.

I like the way that you think!

@@rbpbmnike yep the manual is a good tick for the 911. But a DCT on track is faster and let's me keep both hands on the wheel. My Daily is a manual, and at normal speeds I love it. At track speeds I prefer the DCT and focusing on Throttle/Brake/Steering inputs at 8-10 tenths

Stay tuned I will have it coming!

Heck yeah Scott!

Thanks brother! I will have more to come!

The C8 is the poorman's supercar lol

@@righteousone1 I highly doubt a $100K car new is considered "poor" but you do you man.

So very true. The Vette C8 is hard to beat.

@@mentallyuntouchable2918 $100K isn't really that much nowadays but you stay broke man.

that only applies to the united states, in the rest of the world and where i live the base c8 costs $200k much more expensive than a 911 gts and even more expensive than a gt3 so the z06 would be even more expensive

Fingers crossed for you! If you don't play you can't win!

I am going GTS Hans. It just feels so more more connected than the C8.

@@RaitisRides That would be my choice, too.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.

Not true. In fact Corvette got a better lap time at Nurburgring than the 911 Carrera S (992). Also motor trend did comparison on the two head to head and acceleration times were pretty much the same

@@markw9512 vette is nice, but small inside.. I dont fit.. also the 911 S is faster, watch on throttle house, they race them side by side.. Even on Edmunds they raced the C8 against the 911 base model with only 379 hp and they were side by side... GTS is more HP than model S but I havent seen any real quater mile times raced yet, supposed to be 10.8ish... vette is showing 11.2 to 11.3ish.. want to see Z06 numbers !! will be in 10's for sure.

@@twfinc6855 The one from throttle house was privately owned and I believe to have been modified. Motor trend tested two, not one, but two Carrera S against the Corvette one with the manual and one with the PDK. Have a look. And also consider that that is a higher level model versus a base Corvette. Also there are only a few tenths difference between the 9/11 and the Carrera S in actual tests, so it would certainly be close to the Vette, I believe they just nicked it in the last race in the Vette. And Porsches launch control is definitely better than the C8, I will give them that, so that definitely helped. Z06 numbers are already out. All three of the major American magazines have tested it and it’s a screamer, 0-60 times in the mid 2 sec range, 1/4 miles in the 10.5 range. Also, Amelia tested one and I believe she ran a 10.5 second quarter at 131 mph. 👍

@@markw9512 wow great times for the ZO6 ! As for the 911 I dont think they would put a modified car against a stock corvette.. thats just wrong.. But the edmunds test kinda showed the base 911 was about equal with the vette, maybe a wee bit slower and the 911 S has another 65hp.. Sometimes its who gets the jump that matters and even fractions of a second can matter.. regardless I dont even come close to fitting in the new corvette, and you see them everywhere now, the 992 911 not hardly sighted ever where I live, and I fit so thats the car I want (no choice really).. A lot of the time it just comes down to personal preference and fit.. Im 6'5" tall, end of story lol

Thanks for your perspective and thoughts on this one Dennis!
