  1. ***** 1) Other offerings that competes and beats Porsche, but you bring up the P1 in a discussion about cars in the $200,000 price range? Get the fuck on out of here. Keep talking kiddo, if the Porsche make run of the mill cars like SUVs and Sedans, then that makes it all the more impressive that a 450hp GT3 can spank a 600+hp 12C around a track. And just an edit: You said something along the lines of "650S, 675LT, and P1, any of which will beat the 918 around a track." I'm just going to let your $4.2m company owning mind to tell me what's wrong with that sentence. I dare you to find me a stock 650S that can beat a 918. I fear for your company if thats the kind of attention to detail you have. 2) Forgive me if I don't believe you, given you have no proof of your company to this point, and no videos of any sort to back up the fact that you do own these cars. Hey, maybe you do, but until then, I'll take the word of others on this website who actually have video proof that they've owned cars like the GT3, 458 Italia, and the 650S, or at least tested them, and came out and said the GT3 is more special than the Mclaren. So hey, if you give me like a website to your company and proof that you run the company, by all means. Otherwise, I'm a chief precision engineer of a company valuated at $17B who said I drove cars on the Motor Speedway so as to not sound pretentious on Youtube, but hey if you want to play this card, then by all means my friend. I'll bet you don't believe me at all. Well guess what? You have said nothing that reflects the intelligence of someone who lives up to your claims as well.

  2. SeanyMacks But let's not forget that he's the biggest Porsche fan, that's unhappy that his "favorite" car lost in a track battle that was actually unfair towards the Porsche. Logic lol.

  3. Yes, less gas in the tank means less weight. As long as it's not running on fumes, the amount of gas itself doesn't affect performance. The weight does, however.

  4. Everyone who says this test isn't "fair" needs to shut the fuck up. Of course it's not fair, of course the result is obvious. This video is made for the fun of it, just enjoy the display of two great modes of transport

  5. +Filippo Rindone Similar tires, under the same weather conditions. What the fuck are you talking about, did you even watch the whole video.

  6. ***** Thanks for proving my point.

  7. That Type R vs. RS3 vs. M3 test was the biggest piece of marketing bullshit I've ever seen.

  8. Grant Hilti You are mixing up technology with quality, in which case it is NOT your opinion, it is you being misinformed.

  9. Chevrolet can, and did, and are still going to.

  10. +karlmalone11 There was no jump start, watch a little more carefully with a little less bias and you'll see that.

  11. ***** Only a fanboy would consider criticism as hate lol. If I was hating, I would just say the i8 is a piece of overrated shit. Clearly, that is not what I was trying to say. 
    4
  12. vivalaphill Okay, you're right, the Porsche had a split second jumpstart, probably due to human error (newsflash, people aren't perfect!). You could have had Fernando Alonso in one car and Sebastian Vettel in the other, and the launch could still be imperfect at 0.25 speed.  Point is, the Porsche beat the R8 by more than what the jumpstart gave to the Porsche. The fact that the Porsche jumpstarted that fraction of a fraction of a second is invalid.

  13. V Sizzle Seeing as the GT3 RS's value skyrocketed to twice its worth within 1 year, and the 911 R's prices skyrocketing as well, only a fool would say no one cars about 911s anymore. But wait, maybe you are a fool.

  14. ***** It's very precious how you equate the ability to make money to the lack of ignorance. Now I'm starting to question your credibility when you say you bought a Mclaren. And how are you going to call me out on hurling insults at you, then turn around and hurl one at me? Good job buddy, keep up the good work. Maybe one day people will actually believe all the bullshit you tell yourself!
    4
  15. ***** Please please, look up the definition of "hater" on urban dictionary or something, and realize the only hateful comments are from you. Let me list it out for you, cause I'm rather bored at work: My Comments: 1. GT3 and GT3 RS same ballpark price range, so P1 and 675LT comparison you said was invalid, told you not to jump the gun. 2. Told you you wasted my time because I called you ignorant, because you focused so incredibly much on the exclusivity of cars, and called the 911 not special. Have you driven one? I don't own one, but I've driven them out in Vegas Motor Speedway, both the GT3 and the 650S, and the GT3 is heaps more special to drive. So you can understand why I said you're ignorant. 3. After you've equated ignorance with lack of money, my goodness, can you blame me for not believing you have money? Whereas you? Hating on more affordable cars, calling them shit boxes, making assumptions, and then turn around to call me the hater? You either inherited all your money from a dead relative, thus have no talent in money acquisition whatsoever, or are lying about having money, because I have yet to meet people who are that stupid, and have made their own money. I've met ignorant rich people, but not stupid ones. Hope you can comprehend the difference in that ;)

  16. I'm not a GTR fan, but it's only fair to use the Nismo GT-R...

  17. Sam Sult, problem is, his opinions are of the people who have negative opinions on the car, and not the car itself. so it does matter a bit more
    4
  18. ***** The P1 and 918 have been test with their respective best tires...refer to Motortrend. In some cases, the 918 came out on top, in some the P1. I don't see how what you're saying is ever valid.

  19. bezor Ta I've seen many of you "arguments" across the board, and none of them make any sense. Yes Porsche 911s are daily drivers, but they are also super cars. Just like how R8s are daily drivers, but they are also supercars. Mclaren 12Cs are daily drivers, but they are also supercars. The antonym of a super car is not a daily driver.

  20. ShawJohn31 AutoExpress makes some quality videos. It's idiots like you who go "POOR SHOW AE" at a moments notice the moment something REMOTELY good awry.

  21. This new NSX lives up to its name? Don't make me laugh. The old NSX is rolling in its grave trying to get out and slap the new NSX for even thinking of calling itself an NSX
    3
  22. V Sizzle Keep living in denial. I was 100% rooting for the NSX to be great. But it isn't, and I can admit that. You clearly can't.

  23. This 90 second car news thing is like FastLaneDaily...except FastLaneDaily is actually good.

  24. Saying the Porsche is better does NOT equal bias. Notice how he says, "you often forget just how capable the GT-R is" or something along those lines. He did not dismiss the GT-R until he has actually driven both cars, hence minimal bias (cause let's be honest, it's IMPOSSIBLE to have zero bias).
    3
  25. Jamie Wilson Depending on the course, that could make it slower. Most of the complaint with the gear ratio is that it made it less fun because you're staying in one gear the whole time.

  26. V Sizzle Never heard one reviewer say it drove as well as the R8, or the 570S, or the 911 Turbo S. I've read somewhere it drives on par with the GT-R in terms of feel, maybe a bit better. GT-R is a 8+ year old car. And it doesn't matter if its the first iteration in a while for Honda, if you launch yourself into one of the toughest segments in the world, have something to show for it. Not something subpar for the price. And whether or not you consider a 911 Turbo S a supercar is irrelevant. It drives like one, feels like one, and looks like one. Just cause it doesn't change much in looks doesn't mean it doesn't look like a supercar. It looked like one 20 years ago, 10 years ago, 5 years ago, and it still does now. Does the Aston look less of a super now than when the DB9 first came out many years ago? No.

  27. V Sizzle A old man also drive's a SLS AMG in mine, and another old lady stepped out of a 12C in this plaza I go to to eat. lol, no way a 911 Turbo doesn't look the part.

  28. Hakeem Kazak And I'd like to ask you, Hakeem, if a supercar doesn't go the faster than its competitors, doesn't drive better in terms of feel and experience, doesn't feel more special, doesn't sound more special, why would you buy it? Looks? You got the mid engined look already in the R8 and the 570S. Technology? That's probably the only one I'd give the NSX.

  29. AWD means you can "bash" the corners a lot harder than RWD cars. You to be MUCH more delicate in a RWD car. Anyone who has driven one in a spirited manner knows this.

  30. EVILSPAWN1000 Real people buying real cars will care about the premium in cost of a Turbo S over a Turbo.

  31. Fahed Sayed You really think they drive one lap, record that one video, and then post it on the internet? They take multiple of lap times and take the best. and the finish line is right after a corner, if I'm not mistaken. The AWD in the Macan allows it to be driven near full throttle. You won't get that kind of grip and speed in a RWD car at full throttle. A RWD car needs to be driven delicately.

  32. Stephen Rose Let me put this in another perspective. I produce a hypothesis for an experiment called X. This is experiment has never been done, but all the math, all the science behind it should add up, thus in theory it should add up and pan out. But once put to the test, the experiment yields different results; this happens all the time. So in practice experiment X does not work. But that does not change the fact that IN THEORY, it should still work. Is that simple enough for you? And fyi just because the 0-60 times from manufacturers put the Porsche at 2.9s and 3.5s for the Jag, the race is still a mile long. That's a huge distance for a car that has more power to theoretically catch up towards the end. Of course I highly doubt anyone believed the Jag could actually take it. Obviously anyone who knows the capabilities of either cars will know that. But you know that through practice, but IN THEORY, they should be a lot closer. And just as another reference: GT3 vs. 12C. In theory, they are very similarly weighted, but the GT3 is much, MUCH less powerful. Although it has other performance features like RWS, it should theoretically lose out to the 12C on track. Could be a close race, but the GT3 should lose. But it doesn't. EVO tested it to be quicker than the 12C. In practice, these two are neck and neck. In the theory, they shouldn't be.

  33. +Roman Pyasetskyy The GT3 had track oriented tires, and according to Steve, the GT-R had the Dunlop equivalents. Tire test? Not really.

  34. Limited production only means it'll be even more expensive. No thanks. At the end of the day, it's only lost some weight and gained some power, maybe a bit sharper too. But it's still an M4 to the core. I'd much rather just get an M4 Competition Package and save myself some money.

  35. It was low on gas, which means the car should be lighter. As long as the car isn't running on fumes, the amount of gas itself doesn't affect a car's performance. But the extra weight more gas gives does. Which in turn means that the 991 Turbo S is even faster, due to the extra weight by the full tank.

  36. This car is overrated. Doesn't mean it's a bad car. But with 400+hp, skinny tires, extremely soft suspension (for a supercar), means very poor performance when compared to the 911 C2S and the V8 R8. Sure it has incredible fuel economy, and has technology that relates to those million dollar hypercars, but if that's the kind of car they wanted to make, they didn't have to make a supercar out of it. The fact that they made a supercar, yet held back its performance in such ridiculous ways makes this car very overrated. Again, that doesn't mean it's a bad car.
    3
  37. ***** Do read my comment, and realize the point isn't whether or not it's a supercar. The point is that BMW withheld its performance far too much, EVEN FOR A SPORTSCAR, making it incredibly overrated, EVEN AS A SPORTSCAR. 
    3
  38. ***** Show me one example where I handled a Porsche criticism like you. I am a big fan of Porsche, I admit. Nothing to hide there. Therefore, obviously I am defensive about the brand. But do show me where I defended them without using reasons, like you are now. There's a difference between a fan and a fanboy. You are the latter.
    3
  39. ***** The claim that the AMG GT shits all over the 911 is unfounded seeing as there hasn't been a comparison between the two. Seeing as it's an unfounded remark, it is not a criticism, therefore, making you the hater. Nice try though, next.

  40. ***** Dude, are you having a mental breakdown? The only one chatting shit right now is you.

  41. rrrrate In addition to what VirusTornado said, Porsche is a premium car. You want a premium car, you spend premium money. Simple.

  42. I'm not one to usually say that one car looks like another (C Class like S Class, 5 Series like 7 Series), but damn that E Class Coupe looks like the S Class Coupe. Hope they make an AMG version of it

  43. +Илья Миронов You don't even need to drive the thing to know how stupid you are...explore a little on Youtube. People are raving about the Macan

  44. Stephen A purist is all about the experience, and arguably the Spyder provides more of an experience than the GT4

  45. King of supercars? Sorry, but in the company of the Ferrari 458 Italia, F12 Berlinetta, Lamborghini Aventador, Mclaren 650S, 991 Turbo S, and R8 V10 Plus, do you see a spot for the i8 to be the king?

  46. Because the only thing that is different is the cosmetics.

  47. That achievement would belong to the RR Wraith

  48. ***** The 650S isn't set up for track? LOL what a joke.

  49. All three of those cars are competitors, so it's only natural that you can get them for around the same price.

  50. +Flat Eric Because the GT3's tires were sooo suited for the rain, am I right? Jesus christ. He even said the Dunlops are close to the Michelins on the GT3.
