Good video. But all the journalists get the over-optioned 991's that kill the "value" rating. Oh well, "we" get it!

Apparently, there is no substitute.

A Porsche is built not to be something for everyone, but everything to someone.

... when you get it, you get it.

I like the comment about punching above its weight.

I like the bit about the C7 being a 10/10 for an American car - and a 7/10 for a European model. Quality, performance, handling, and IMO much better looking than the rivals - it works for me.

Did he really say at the end, "I've decided today that in the next two years I'm going to find a way to buy a Porsche, because once you drive one, if I'm honest, everything else seems a bit ****ty"?
Yes, he did. And in the course of the review he mentioned Ferrari and $300k super cars, so for sure when he said "everything" he really means everything. Never seen such candor in a review before. Double-wow.

Sorry this is alittle off the topic, but I just met Matt Farrah a few weeks ago at a Farmer's Market in Malibu, CA. He was very friendly, spoke with my wife and I for about 3-4 min. Took a pic with him. Great auto journalist, and overall nice guy.

By interesting I assume you mean it will just be a bunch of drifting and no real substance?

So it's not his 991? I thought maybe it was from the title. No biggie but I would think a fellow like that with a TV show and etc. would be able to afford a 911.

Kosmo, just noticed your Chris Harris C7 compare. Same car and day I assume so and from Chuck's comments from the end he does mention his intent to purchase one. I didn't re watch it to see if the 911 had a manufacturer plate like the Vette did.
Thanks for posting! If you didn't I 'd never see these!
