WHY I'M SELLING MY PORSCHE GT4

**The Stalk Looks So Ugly**

I'm just going to start by saying that I'm feeling a bit down today, and it's all because of my poor stalk. It looks so ugly, and I just can't seem to find any good photos of it online. I know, I know, it's not the most exciting topic, but bear with me here. As an enthusiast of all things Porsche, I have to say that I'm always on the lookout for interesting cars, and sometimes that means dealing with less-than-stellar stalks.

But enough about my feelings, let's talk about something more exciting - cars! Specifically, I've been working on a project that's almost complete, and I couldn't be more excited. I might film it from Sportec soon, and I'm hoping to get some great footage of the car in action. From what I can tell, there's something very interesting under there, and I think it's going to be a Porsche - and not just any Porsche, but one that's very rare and expensive.

I've been working with this team for over a year now, rebuilding and preparing the car for filming, and I'm pretty sure they're as excited as I am about the prospect of showcasing this beast on camera. We'll have to wait and see how it all comes together, but trust me when I say that it's going to be big.

**Answering Unanswered Questions**

In my last video, we did a cheesy formula with some power numbers that left everyone - including myself - scratching their heads. I think I might have been confusing people with my explanations of what those numbers meant, and I've had plenty of messages from viewers asking me to clarify things. So, today, I'm going to try and answer some of the questions that have been on your minds.

First off, let's talk about power. We showed a number of 394 horsepower at the crank, but people were saying it was actually underpowered. Now, I know what you're thinking - if we've got less power than we think, then how can we be sure our car is fast? Well, the thing is, that power number we showed was actually for the crankshaft, not the wheels. And while that might seem like a small difference, it's actually quite significant when you consider all the factors that affect power at the wheels.

We've also been getting asked about automatic gearboxes and how they affect power numbers. It turns out that automatics have different losses than manual gearboxes, which means that your actual power output will be less than what the dyno shows. That's why we use the European correction factor (EC) when calculating our power numbers - it takes into account these losses and gives us a more accurate picture of what you can expect in real life.

**The Importance of Correct Measurement**

Now, I know some of you might be thinking, "But wait, if the dyno shows 420 horsepower at the crank, then that must mean my car is really powerful!" Well, not necessarily. You see, different cars have different correction factors, and these can affect your power numbers in big ways.

In our case, we're using the EC norm to measure our power output, which gives us a lower number than if we were using some other method of measurement. And that's okay - it means we're being more accurate and giving you, our viewers, a better idea of what to expect from this car.

I also want to mention that some people have been suggesting we do something different with the air intake system on our Porsche. Specifically, they've been saying that putting forced air into the side intakes would increase power output. Now, I'm not sure if this is true or not, but we're going to try it out and see what happens.

**Stock Exhaust vs JCR**

One of the things that's changed since my last video is that I've got a new exhaust system installed on my Porsche. Specifically, I've gone back to a stock exhaust - which was sad for me because I loved my old JCR exhaust so much. But, you know how it is when you get something good, sometimes things just have to change.

I'm still getting used to the sound of this new exhaust, and I have to say that it's not as exciting as the JCR one. There's just something about the way those pipes sound that makes me feel like I'm missing out. But hey, progress, right? And who knows - maybe this new exhaust will grow on me.

**Dream Car: A Manual GT3**

My next goal - my dream car, really - is a manual Porsche 911 GT3. Now, I know what you're thinking - "Isn't that just a regular old GT3?" Well, no it's not! The pre-OFP (original equipment factory) model of the GT3 is a bit different from the latest one, with some key changes to the engine and gearbox.

I'm really hoping to get my hands on one of these cars in the near future - not just for the thrill of driving such an amazing machine, but also because it'll be a great opportunity to test out some new camera angles and techniques. I've been feeling a bit stuck lately, and this project will give me the chance to shake things up and try something new.

So there you have it - that's what's been going on in my world recently. Not exactly the most exciting news, but hey, at least I'm keeping busy!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso we will get into today's video in a minute we've now taken off the jcr exhaust which is still looking awesome to be honest loving the exhaust hour i've loved the exhaust the whole time and all i can say is the thing with my gt4 is i can't imagine having that car without an aftermarket exhaust phone so for me if you buy a new 718-4 then it's a must that you have an aftermarket exhaust the jcr i can highly recommend it worked extremely good and yeah really going to miss it a lot the sound stock from the 718 gt4 is just terrible to be honest so yeah that is an absolute must-have and over here i have my very heavy stock exhaust which is without a doubt double double triple the weight of the jcr exhaust so that's going to go back on now not only double the weight or triple the weight but obviously very ugly as well you can see just the size of it compared to the jcr which i can lift with one hand the car is up on the stand exhaust off obviously i want to show you guys so this is what we hate this is why i would really reconsider ever buying a 2020 car what i think any car made from possibly november october november 2019 the horrible opf filters that they just ruin all new cars and take away most of the sound so yes these things we hate very much as a petrol head for a machine coffee it's not too bad here at sport tech you guys join me today back at sportok where i seem to be spending a lot of time actually because i am as you've seen putting my stock exhaust back on preparing to sell my car why have i decided to put the car for sale so i'm going to sell the car with quinnero where i originally bought the car from long story short i'm going to do actually a second video talking about the things that i also haven't liked with the car i'm not going to do it today because otherwise the video will be too long and that won't be a very good five-minute friday but the main reason that i'm selling the car is well first of all i've had it for around seven months now and for a car youtuber that's actually quite a long time most car youtubers while in london anyway seem to replace the cars every couple of months sometimes even after one month so seven months is a relatively long time for a car youtuber to have a car at the end you have to remember that any car that i buy is for my channel is to make videos for the channel so after a certain amount of time you kind of get to a point you're like okay there's only so much maybe i can do with this car and it has to kind of pay for itself that's how myself or maybe it's different for other youtubers that's how you know we run these channels creating videos making money off some money very low money off youtube and yeah everyone's case is different this is my situation unfortunately i wasn't a trust fund baby like let's say probably 90 of the car youtubers out there so i can't just keep the car just because i like it i would love to just keep the gt4 if my videos got a million views each or that's why something says you guys please leave a thumbs up it helps the channel grow creates more income and allows me to do big bigger things like maybe one day buying a gt3 anyway yeah i can't keep the car for nothing during the winter so the next two months i'm so busy which is amazing after corona when corona came everything stopped so all the car events all of my paid jobs working as a photographer a content creator for some brands i did some content creation for audi did some for lamborghini last week in sardinia which is amazing but when corona came everything stopped and now everything started again so everyone's trying to do all of the events and everything before the winter comes so that means the next two months till pretty much the end of october i'm so busy i've got press cars booked until the end of october i've got the r8 spider coming the bmw m8 the alpene and a couple of porsches from sportec hopefully to film so a lot going on i'm also going on a week shoot with pole star doing pictures for them just so busy i'm also maybe going to italy for three weeks to film some videos with lamborghini again amazing but it got me thinking what's the point of keeping the gt4 until end of october when i'm not going to be here anyway and around the end of october i originally said to myself i would keep the car until yeah end of summer because obviously when the winter comes i live in switzerland it's snowing there's loads of salt on the roads which also wouldn't be good for a car like that i would have anyway put up for sale so rather than keep it in my garage for a couple of months where i could use it probably for about three more times i thought it was best just to do an adult smart move uh financially and put the cart for sale now take the parts off put it back to original condition and damn this flight so yeah that's pretty much the reason i'm gonna miss it massively on one side i'm also not gonna miss this opf and restrictions that this car came with i don't know what's coming next you guys can already start commenting if you like what would be a good replacement for a fun good-looking winter car that would be good to modify say that because i would love to do more modifying videos here at sportec over the winter i think it would be super fun so something that works good in the snow that i could put my snowboard on top and just have a lot of fun and let's say sounds nice also yeah open to your suggestions sad oh the stalk looks so ugly also ah back to no sound speaking of cars that i might film from sportec there is something under here very exciting obviously a porsche that i'm hopefully going to film within the next month i'm going to let you guys try and guess it give you a little sneak preview i wonder who could guess what this is but i can tell you it's very expensive very rare and i'm very very excited about the thoughts to film this they've been working rebuilding this for i think a year now and i've pretty much persuaded them i can do a video with it stay tuned for that because it could be very very exciting okay i'm gonna bore you for two minutes to answer to answer the unanswered questions okay so in today's video i just wanted to answer a the unanswered question from the previous one we did with the cheesy formula and everyone was confused including myself because actually i i have no idea what i was talking about and uh the power that we showed which was in the end was it three nine four three nine something like this yeah something like this and a lot of people said well actually that's not underpowered because that's the power at the wheels when then there's obviously a percent to the crank but that's wrong that was the power at the crank just to clarify what we showed was the power at the crank and then everybody said well that dino measures the power at the wheels and if you showing at the crank how do you calculate yeah the difference yeah first of all the power that we showed was at the crank which does mean it was underpowered yep that means it was underpowered not that it was at the rules and actually the calculation works out but blaze it like plus minus one percent yes because uh the the the guys which built the dino they make some uh tests to check how much is the loss uh from the gearbox and all the bearings and everything and they have made several cars on on their on their test uh running road compared to the engine dyno to be sure as uh where the the differences and where where the losses go through so this is gearbox bearings and tires and all the things okay automatic gearboxes there is the the gap higher because there you have much more uh things which can have influence to the to the power between the crank to the wheels yeah okay okay so another thing yeah i've learned yeah automatic gearboxes are different so yeah good that pretty much hopefully that answers the question to the power and how you measure at the crank and what is the how accurate it is there are some other points and this is to get if you have a four wheel drive or a two wheel drive then you have a transaxle and and the haldex gearbox endeavor they have also losses but uh they these things are all uh included in this uh in this difference okay so when porsche says okay the gt4 has 420. they're saying at the crank yeah that's what they give yeah so that means it was really 25 under power i had uh a lot of people who messaged me on instagram and send me pictures of their dino and they were getting 420 and above so i'm really confused why actually mine seems so much so much the problem is uh you can have different uh correction factors that you can measure by dean german industrial norm or you can uh ec or eg which is the european uh correction factor and this makes have also a bigger influence and so this is the reason why we measure with ec norm okay normally yes because this is gives the lower numbers but it's very close to that what the factory says okay so then you are always on the safe side because if you have too much or more than they should have clients are confident uh are happy sure then then you have lesser you know yeah another thing actually a lot of people said which maybe we should have done they said when you dino a gt4 we should have put forced air into the side intakes this can be a little yeah sure this is right this might be but we have that the air which we have here and it's not 100 same like on the road that's right so maybe if we did forced air into the side we've done a bit more yep i'm selling it now so whatever whatever okay yeah thanks you're welcome again more information yep stock exhaust is back on sad times when i do get another porsche which will happen of course eventually then i would definitely be putting another jcr exhaust on fingers crossed that one day my next goal as a dream car would be a manual gt3 not the latest model the previous model pre-opf of course i still feel hugely privileged that i had a gt4 for around seven months it really was a dream come true but thank you so much for watching and for me it is a much quieter ciao for now you\n"
