2015 Porsche 991.1 911 GT3 | The PERFECT Upgrade From a BMW M3

Рет қаралды 18,297

Күн бұрын

The Porsche 911 GT3 was always a car that interested me for a number of reasons. It's beautiful looks, legendary N/A flat six, and emphasis on all out track performance seriously appealed to me in just about every way. I'm happy to report driving one did not disappoint, and this is a car I would love to own in the future someday.

That's a sick car. Since we're all dreaming here......My dream car is the 2005 Carrera GT V10. I think that is literally the greatest car ever made. It's crazy that I remember seeing them selling for $375,000 and now I see them selling for more than double that. That would have been a sick investment car for a rich person.

I believe it’s a natural progression to look past BMW’s towards the next level. It’s already happening to me. 997.1 or .2’s...and the non turbo in a GT3 is very tempting.

Any concerns about the high rpm misfire issues that the 991.1 GT3 engines were having? Those seem to have helped the depreciation but that's still a concern for me

@SimplyCarThings 3 жыл бұрын

The owner of this GT3 hasn’t experienced it and has done multiple track days seriously pushing the car. The car is covered under Porsche CPO warranty for another year and a half i believe & I do recall there being an engine replacement recall for the 991.1, although I did confirm that this specific GT3 is still on its original engine with no issues so far

@williamwilson5125 4 жыл бұрын

Is that Blues Clues car? Definitely my next car but I prefer the 991.1 911 turbo to the Gt3 due to its daily driveability being more compromising and has better usabilty with its back seats and awd all season capabilities. The Gt3 is a better track car than the turbo but what 911 isn't track capable?

Yes it is Blues Clues car 🤙🏼 And totally bro, the 911 turbo is a fantastic car in its own right, i’d honestly love to review one if i could get my hands on it

Can understand the midrange torque, since your used to twin turbos from the M4, which would be pushing massive torque midrange. The GT3 engine isn't a Torque monster but it just builds power continuously all the way to 9k 😎

Spot on with your comment man, I couldn't get over how sonorous the engine note is all the way to its redline

This engine revs so fast and sounds so damn good, that it more than compensates for the relatively low torque of the turbo cars.

Yes, they are expensive no doubt 😂 And that’s part of why the M3/M4 is such an amazing car. it has so much all around performance for the money. However...when it does come time to upgrade (if ever) and you want something that is an even better car, the GT3 is one of the best options out there in my personal opinion.
