How good is the 992 absolute base trim?

mcdonalds

completely pointless. just get a corvette if you're going to cheap out. VAG compromises heavily when you get base models of anything.

Imo the 4s is the ultimate sweet spot of not too expensive, utilityand power. I was driven in a gt3 rs once and it would be horrible for more than occasional use

You should not buy the base model of any Porsche.

>>28515927 (OP)
german brand base models have always been absolutely hobo tier (some 90s BMWs/mercs didn't even have AC) they make sure you feel like shit for not being rich enough to buy the top trim you're better off getting a vette

Incredible.
It shits on the G87 M2 while offering a WAY more fun and soulful driving experience, won’t lose its value over night and is the most reliable sports car ever made.

>>28515983
This. And I’ve bought multiple Porsches but they’ve gone retarded in pricing vs value. Ofc they appeal to different buyers but a lot of overlap
I mean you can now get a tricked out 3LT stingray htc or even 2LT Z06 for less than the base carrera pricing.
It’s not even a question at that point. C8 all the way and load up on some goodies that make it nicer to drive

kek

>>28515927 (OP)
the S is such a joke they should just drop that trim
the 992.2 T has the new improved 6 speed
Porsche accidentally or on purpose made the base and the T the best two trims

>>28516035
I'm mostly just disappointed the GTS is PDK only, even if it does make sense for it to be that way.

what is the best porsche 911 as a daily driver? im gonna assume youll want awd? are the high end versions too uncomfortable? ive read the turbo s hurts the body at some point

>>28516086
Just get a fuggin' Carrera S

>>28516086
>what is the best porsche 911 as a daily driver?
any of them that has a pdk(you don't want to be stuck in traffic in a manual) and hasn't been lightened(because you lose sound deadening too)
im not sure if you can get the new fancy taycan/panamera suspension on a 911, but if you can, you'd want that too in a daily. you'd want it in a fun car too, but especially in a daily.

>>28516086
Carrera 992.1
These cars, especially the 992, have a ridiculous amounts of mechanical grip.
No AWD needed at all, just good tires

>>28516361
>you don't want to be stuck in traffic in a manual
it's really not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. mind you i had a 3.0L l6. the porsche probably won't be that bad in that regard. i imagine bigger engines like v8s would laugh at stop start traffic

>>28516086
Turbo is supposed to be the ultimate daily driver, never driven an S. It’s soft and has all the comfort of an S class and makes up for the weight and bad suspension with a huge engine. Although with modern systems you can adjust the suspension from soft to sporty it’s hardly a compromise in that sense anymore.

I’d get a fully optioned 911 T if I didn’t want to go fast

>>28516086
It’s very comfortable but massive overkill for basically everyone. An S or GTS is probably the sweet spot for most people.

Did you guys know that in 2019 it was reported that 911s have profit margins of an astronomical 47%? And since then they have significantly raised prices? They are amazing cars, the perfect sportscar all rounders. But they arent worth half their price.

Dunno if this sounds odd or not but the base model carrera seems better to me than s or gts. The car still does 0-60 in 4 seconds and is fast as fuck. Its also more comfy to drive. Is it my broke ass coping? Unless you want to take your car to tracks or just wanna flex how wealthy you are the base carrera does everything you need. Obviously if i was given the choice between it and an s, gts, turbo, turbo s it would be my last. But its still an elite car

>>28516650
Why do you think this board ridicules them?

>>28516658
I would buy a GT3
However
A base model with PDCC, PTV, PASM, and sport chrono would be a nice car. Otherwise known as a 911 T. Looks like they force you to (correctly so you don’t get a shitter Porsche like brown dog’s C2S with no options) get a Carrera T now with all the options instead of cherry picking. The T is the best NARP. But it is a NARP and you should ask yourself why you didn’t get an M3 or Z51

>>28516688
I see you have been raped by Porsche brown son. Best remember that.

>>28516688
which gt3 should i buy?

from what ive seen
turbo s>turbo>gts>s>base
but everything above s is overkill. even base mogs 99% of the cars you will encounter irl

since this is devolving into a general 911 thread. for a daily driver,
race tex or leather seats?
race tex or leather wheel?

>>28516724
I’d get a 997 GT3 or GT3 cup personally as it has a Mezger but the 992 has double bones which is great

>>28516724
this one should fit your budget

>>28516142
>Over complicated electric turbo thing with battery weight

That’s ok I’ll just not buy a NARP

>>28516699
NARP doesn’t rape anyone

The base trims are trash.
The GT3 is overpriced and uncomfortable to daily.

These cars are built to separate idiots from their cash.

>>28516959
As salamu alaikum Mehmet. I rape you daily. Remember that.

>>28516989
>>28516631
Is this your McTurbo?

>>28516980
GT3s have grenading engines too. Really just get a Ferrari or a M8 or maybe a ZR1.
Lots of options that don’t self destruct

>>28516995
Is the Macan owner trying to speak to me? Lol…LMAO

>>28516980
According to this website every car is trash

>>28515927 (OP)
Who the fuck buys a base trim Porsche? You're going to end up optioning it out to 1.5-2x the base MSRP if you're actually driving the thing. If you're making money fast, lease. If you can't afford trim you can't afford the car.

>>28516650
They used to be the Jewish sports car option, as in cheap but still with status. Now it's just brown skin levels of clout chasing.

>>28516760
No matter what leather sucks in both sunny or cold weather. Cloth seats forever.

>>28516631
Kek why the FUCK did your dad put that thing on STILTS?!

>>28516724
997.2 4.0 RS, duh

>>28516999
Is the L.A.R.P.man L.A.R.P.ing?
LOL
bmaooo, even

>>28517116
Ordinarily I'd say there's nothing inherently wrong with simplifying the car to keep costs down but its extra annoying how the germans do overprice the fuck out of the most basic shit and while there's some cool shit, you may as well forget about most of the options unless you just like being financially abused.

I like the extended leather pkg and think it's pretty nice but do I like it $6000 worth for door cards, dash and rear seating area?
HUGE fan of the Pasha interior and would LOVE to have that but holy fuck $14000? lol for some fabric inserts... AND you still have to pay $900 for seat ventilation?
Oh you want a front axle lift? yeah that's $3100
Burmeister sound? just another $6k

So it's often a better package value if you move up in trim level as it already includes some of that shit. That said yeah they're ridiculously overpriced these days and tariffs plus destroying the USD are just going to make it even worse.
My next car will probably be American

>>28517189
These cars aren’t for poorfags. You are a poorfag.

>>28517245
Anon, only a poorfag is willing to get ripped off for a badge. A 911 is about half markup and that’s somewhat ok but then they rip you off for basic stuff like an LSD or a decent stereo, or a computer fan in the seat.

>>28515927 (OP)
>>28515943
>>28517116
They make the base model shitty on purpose to jew you out of extra money.

>>28516946
Dude what, you're thinking of the new GTS
>>28516995
Hotwife haver with the Macan Turbo

>>28517256
Poorfag detected. Opinion discarded. Also you’re brown.

>>28517276

Macan is just a cheaper Q5. Same principle as the 911. All mark up. Sad. Just get a bmw or corvette or get a GT3

>>28516989
Such primitive nigger brains...

>>28517256
this anon get it.
i'm okay with them making a profit but at some point it's ridiculous and we should call them out over it when that occurs

>>28517350
WTBDYA? RBP BS, RT.

>>28517265
The real price is not the base price.

wats goin on itt
how many pcar shekels do i have to drop to get something with a manual and double bones?

>>28517416
ahhh.. an enjoyer of the UDM has joined the chat!
(Ultimate Depreciation Machine or as we just call it "the brown man's wheels")

>>28516679
> Why do you think this board ridicules them?
Because the people on it couldn't afford one? Aesop had you guys figured out

>>28517467
Whoa whoa whoa. That guy bought a Macan. Put some respect on his cuck name.

>>28517292
It's exclusively poorfags that think high price = good value.
The GT3 should be no more than $110,000.

>>28517701
Dont forget "influencers" and "hypebeasts". Really fuct the gt3 market especially hard.

>>28517467
Aesop didn’t have a Macan

>>28517701
Poorfag cope.

>>28517416
$240k if you don’t want to lose to a 135i with a tune

>>28517785
well then what's even the point man? jaysus

>>28517828
Right now the point is to float Porsche through the disaster of the Taycan and Macan EV
