We revisit the 2024 992 Carrera T after we drove it during the launch to discuss the merits of performance and price. Since Porsche has created a massive list of 911 options, getting lost in trim levels would be easy. However, we cover the pros and cons, the engineering, and why you would choose this over a Corvette Z06, BMW M5, Lexus LC500, Mustang GT500, and many more.

  • I love Jack's enthusiasm mixed with Mark's objective yet sarcastic rhetoric.

    Step 1 - Buy a used (well specced) Carrera/T; Rear axle steer, PTV+, Upgraded Speakers Step 2 - Spend $10K on a flame shooting ECU tune & exhaust Step 3 - You're now the coolest rich dentist in your town.
  • @TheGamerUnknown
    I love the exterior styling. It's a timeless, classic design. Way outside my price range, but a beautiful car.
  • This video helped me to finally understand the 911 philosophy and now things make perfect sense. Love how you guys bring more to your car reviews beyond stats and drag racing.
  • @rvbsoundfactory
    Entry level stripped out Porsche. 7 speed manual gearbox. A four speaker stereo player. With some cloth seats. A match made in heaven.
  • There are many "honest" reviews out there of the various Porsche 911s but no one does so with such well articulated depth as you fellows do. It is really hard to express all the paradoxes around the 911 and all that within the context of the complicated Porsche mythology. Outstanding review.

    My Carrera T is on its way to me, delivery next month! Cant wait!
  • @Digiphex
    I love the gauges and physical buttons.

    I have a 18 gt3. These 992s have gone sterile. I’ve had every type 911 since my 993 TT (996 GT3, 997.1 GT3, 997.2 S PDK, 991.1 50th anniversary, 991.2 GT3. This is the first time I don’t feel like getting the next one (992) But I do think the people who want a manual should buy this car instead of a gt3 manual. If they want involvement this is the car. You get the GT3 which is the track car the race car for the street the Cup car that’s $100,000 less and you get the SLOWER version? No!
  • @Nickpaflas
    I'm surprised some don't like this styling. Seems like a perfect combo of classic with a couple modern touches.

    Porsche is having savage depreciation across the range in the UK at the moment, even 911 GT cars. We’ve seen over 20% drop in the last few months on second hand cars at dealers and solid discounts on new cars, and it hasn’t bottomed out yet. Great news for enthusiasts who want to enjoy their cars, very bad news for investors who hide them away in a garage away waiting for prices to go up.

    That manual transmission gear is beautiful, I can sit in that car and shift it all day.
  • @bbpleg
    To list a few more major upsides to owning a Porsche sports car: - excellent resale value - many specialist workshops to choose from - many club events and a great community - many aftermarket parts - dealers/workshops are global and generally not too far apart These are some of the reasons (including all the stuff you guys mentioned) I keep coming back this brand and I just can’t find a replacement.
  • @Affalterbach1967
    I've already ordered my TuxMats and expect to score a great deal on Cyber Monday for a 911 T allocation. Great that Porsche doesn't unnecessarily dilute the 911.
  • Fantastic balanced review guys. I love how you get into detail like spring rates that nobody else does.
  • @smokesgtp
    "Let me just rev it out one more time." Exactly...
  • @j.redbeard99
    I was watching some of your earliest reviews yesterday, and it really pleasant to see how far your videos have come, going from decent to great or awesome. Another great review from Savage Geese!
  • @tobi_dg
    I love the 992 but I love the 718 more. The 718 is more raw and feels like a sports car all the time. The 992 has also gotten so expensive that I would be afraid to drive it, let alone take it to an autocross or race track. It’s an amazing car that would mostly sit in the garage.
  • @joemartino6976
    I've been using YouTube regularly for about two years now and you guys are my favorite. You get to the important points almost immediately, your comments are insightful and concise, and, providing perspective from two different perspectives only adds to the enjoyment. By the way, I was the former owner of a 1973 911T a long time ago and now have my sights on a new base 911. Loved the review.
  • @user-qn6yt3zx3w
    Car reviews is an overcrowded space - but I really enjoyed her commentary, delivery and depth of understanding - excellent, thank you
