GTSMarky Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Interesting. The PCM would be a plus for me, as would the mega head lights although mine are pretty good too & I often turn off the screen anyhow. More power would be good as would better acceleration, but it's not as if the 981 BGTS is lacking. I nearly always have the car in Sport mode unless on a longer motorway journey where the softer & quieter ride is welcome. The quieter exhaust is a negative overall for me. Overall then the 981 BGTS is still a cracker & his car is for sale so tyre kickers can kick away.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Just watched the intro and conclusion. Intro - wow, never believed that's the inflation calculation. Conclusion - Does he really not think much, or is this one of those oddball challenge videos? The cable around his groin is not obvious at the start (I missed it, thankfully) but very prominent in the conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurassicBGTS Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Actually enjoyed that, normally I would only watch Harry's garage. I can't say I have noticed any difference in ride quality vs my old 981, but maybe Dorset roads are better maintained. Exhaust is dramatically improved with the Cargraphic valve controller. I must tell wifey about the inflation calculation so I get less grief about selling @moonshine my old 981😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Withy Posted September 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Yes shame about the audio for the exterior bit. Otherwise very balanced view. I think 718 4.0 it’s off his to buy list tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Ref the suspension, as above he's not comparing apples for apples, two different suspension set ups there sport pasm vs pasm with different ARBs also. The 718 is slightly more stiffly sprung and as I've shared before it has extra bracing to stiffen up the rear end which does impact the ride quality. They feel like they have a lot more grunt but the peak power is quite high up the rev range so the difference when side by side isn't as good. Imho it's not an £80k plus car but the high asking price is good for 981 because it's the next best thing available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
