Today I'm driving a Porsche 911 GT3. Always a good day, although I haven't always gelled with the previous GT3s. The 997 in particular never worked for me due to the gearbox and engine combo. The 991.1 I absolutely loved and thought PDK worked well for it, but what is the 991.2 like with the six speed manual - and can it compare to the drama of my recently acquired Ferrari 430 Scuderia?

Exactly why my GT3 Touring is a ‘forever’ car… never experienced anything like it before or after. Porsche gave me a 991.2 GT3 RS for the day and I liked the looks but it was a numb experience in the road (I’m sure on track it would be brilliant) they then said try a Touring… OMG, such a different experience and feeling, I was sold after the first gear change. Now done the best 5000km of my life. It’s now the benchmark and the only car I’m looking to add to the garage now is a 458 Speciale, which comes close but in a different way. In 10+ years with hybrid/electric/automatic etc the 991.2 cup engine with manual will be £500k

I ran my Scud alongside a 991.1 RS and they approach the going fast exciting bit in very different ways. You can’t say one is better than the other. What I will say though is that the Porsche feels indestructible and after 18k miles and lord knows how many launches, it hasn’t missed a beat. You can’t say that about the Ferrari which always felt like it would throw a big bill at you. Great video and say hi to George & Caitlin. I owe him a spin in the Phantom …

This is the car I’d love to move up to from my GT4. Personally I think it looks better the the 992 version, not nearly as bulky looking, and I’m a big fan of the 991 interior. Just hoping prices moderate a bit going into next year vs the currently craziness. They’ve softened a bit on Bring a TraIler lately, so hopefully that continues

@555dho555 2 жыл бұрын

I gave in and test drove the .2 GT3 then subsequently sold my 981 GT4, which is the best car I have owned. I found the GT3 a marginally better car overall, the engine is better and it felt considerably quicker. However, when you consider cost, the GT4 is a better value car. I also have my fingers crossed for a softening in GT3 prices. I find £150k for a 4 year old car with 5k miles too much to justify.

@jlo6388 2 жыл бұрын

I fear the prices won’t soften throughout 2022. If you can get one near its MSRP, then I can recommend going for it totally. I only drove my 911 Turbo for fun so moving into the 991.2 GT three it’s a small step back in speed, but a huge step up in fun. Cheers

Hi, interesting comment that I thought I'd share my experiences with you. I just sold my 997.1GT3, waiting for my 992GT3 which is delayed, so for a daily I went and bought a new GT4. Been a 911 driver for 32 years, so it was a step backwards in my mind. NOT at all. The GT4 is an incredible car, for country or hills driving it is faster than nay of my 911s. It is so planted and quick around corners. As for the track, maybe not as fast as a 991 GT3, but certainly faster than my 997, and by a lot. I do not regret buying it, and may not trade it on my 992 now..... eek. I still have a 993 Turbo, and nothing compares to this, it is pure drives car and experience. The GT4 tall gearing is fine, you learn to drive twisties differently, certainly no worse than the gearing in a 997 (as Jay even elludes to)

James, great review, thank you. Your original feature on the 991.1 GT3, white 64 plate was originally my car. I fell out with it because of the damping harshness on UK roads, especially out in the country side. Now have the 991.2 and completely agree that the ride is much improved, making it more enjoyable to drive enthusiastically. It feels and is safer as a result in my opinion. The mid range induction roar on the 4.0ltr is something else, but may be hard to capture as it is really noticeable from the inside.

I was nervous to watch this video, as it is one of my dream cars (on the higher end of the spectrum), despite not being a left-field choice at all. Pleasantly surprised with James' verdict on the steering feel of the EPAS system. Sounds like the gear ratios aren't too terribly long either. I wonder if the folding carbon seats that TheCarGuys Damian's GT3 Touring has would be more comfortable... I am an introvert who'd still appreciate its mechanical sound that crescendos to 9000rpm, so the subtle Touring that retains the 911 silhouette, in Paint-to-sample 'Viola Metallic' or 'Oak Green Metallic' would be 'the creme of the creme' for me.

Based on this review, I started looking at this exact same model after I failed to buy another track oriented car from McLaren … and bought such a GT3 in GT Silver with manual and all goodies like roll cage and bucket seats for tracking. First drove it decently yesterday and wow is this an experience. I’ve owned 911 GTS, recent AM Vantage and McL 12C spider before and I can honestly say this GT3 is up there with the best in terms of drivers experience. Of course it is not as fast as the McLaren… but it actually feels faster, more direct and the manual gear changing is soo satisfying! It is less comfortable so I won’t be taking this one on a week trip to the Alps because of the low WAF… but certainly has reasonable comfort for such a racy car. So this kind of review and many positive comments of owners, can change one’s mind so thank you all!

Appreciate the commentary and the theatrics portrayed by that 9A1 screamer engine. Beautifully done video. We are completely allowed to have different opinions (which makes the world less boring), but I'm still confused to why Tim (Shmee) never got attached to his 991.2 GT3. One thing he did mention was that he liked the chassis balance of his Cayman GT4s, so perhaps he wasn't really a fan of the 'pendulum' characteristic (exaggerated term perhaps for the post 997 era) that you would get from rear engined cars. Perhaps the double wishbone front suspension in the 992 GT3s have rectified/eradicated that common critique of understeer that 911s of yesteryear would get.

I love it when you are balls-out enthusiastic! Forget any of the less than praiseworthy comments I may have made about your youthfulness, and your post-analogue-era birth date, i.e., not growing up with the unfettered machinery of the 60s-80s etc. That you are obviously gob-smacked by what at least looks and sounds like as much of a not-so-digitally-enhanced speed machine as you are going to find - at this time - as this, with a PROPER gearbox (and no down-change throttle blips, leaving it to you, not sensors and so on), confirms to my mind that you are not some ordinary snot-nosed upstart - I never thought that really, but for dramatic effect (-; - and it is a delight to see you amazed by the pure experience of driving what sounds close to perfection, in such a type of vehicle. I LOVE the way your face looks as you at least try to get to the red line! Sounds like you hardly need a gearbox with such a spread of revs. I bet you can get from nought to 100 mph in second gear alone (for us engineering nerds, I always work out the speed per redline/gear ratio as a way of entering the actual engineers' heads re-optimal gearing and red lines/first significant torque-entry revs/optimal torque/end of best torque etc etc. This obviously matters with regard to road types the driver is most likely to encounter or choose). Porsche obviously chose the ratios well, mated to this powerplant. Thanks for the wide-eyed report, love it!

I guess you do need a 911 now, a boxster isn't enough anymore 😂

That’s the one thing that drives me insane about this car, every single car he drives it feels like he’s going above and beyond to say how ‘quite brilliant’ it is. He literally never gives a fair report, will say a negative but quickly brush it away with a positive. I don’t really consider him a reviewer, but merely someone who showcases cads

@@nicholasfrawley824 @Nicholas Frawley are you kidding? I understand what he says, when he speaks about the 911 not being that special or thrilling he was talking about the gt3 or gt3 variants, he was mostly talking about carreras. When someone loves cars, you ultimately like most of them even the bad ones but he has very clearly bashed some new models like the Cayman gts, he recently roasted the AMG gt 4 door!! Do you even watch the videos? I'm dont need to defend the creators I like or answer trolls but for God's sake, he even critiqued heavily the new huracan which is a dream car for most of us 😂🤦‍♂️

@@nicholasfrawley824 You're clueless if you think James is an easily impressed person who regularly does complimentary verdicts on cars, like most other video creators. You should watch more of his things to get an informed opinion.

Awesome footage and Content. 997.1 clutch is a race clutch comming directly from GT1 and was Designer to stand a 24h race. It is doing exactly what it was designed for, hence no design flaw or bug 😂

@@JayEmmOnCars I enjoy all your reviews. I have to thank you for the review you did on your 550 and the premium service. It led me to getting my local dealer in Melbourne to enquire about the service and now it's become available in Australia. My 575 will be the 1st car to go through the process. I'm just waiting on 2 parts to arrive and then the car will be going in for the full suggested works. How's your 550 proceeding, we haven't had an update on it for a while.
