The ride is nasty. I worked for a supercar ride experience in purchasing and then a high-end rental company again in purchasing so I had multiple cars to break in for hundreds of miles. The Porsche GT models now needed a small run in time but still, the car was just too much for daily driving.

Eating steak everyday DOES NOT lead you to an early grave!! Stop with the nonsense, you’re not a nutritionist or a doctor to be saying that. Contrary to popular belief, for some people is very healthy to go carnivore, in fact some reduce and in cases revert deseases. So yeah, id daily a GT3RS because i love it and because of that of could never feel dull like you say it would. True enthusiast drive their passion.

This is a bit dogmatic. You don't just say, "Because I love it. I'd never get tired of it daily." If you owned the car for a good while, that's fine. But if you haven't, then you're simply speculating how you'd feel dailying the car. Since the video publisher is an owner, his opinions have a greater merit than those of us non-owners. I'd lean on the side of merit than just some enthusiasm.
@88boat Жыл бұрын
enthusiasm is like a fire that if not controlled, disciplined, tamed ... will surely eventually hurt your back because those harsh carbon bucket seats simply give your spine punches with every single bump on the road. Instead, get a daily (switch of the fire during the week) and on weekends, light that blaze till you threaten the suns existence. Then come Monday, you have an excuse to not go to work without feeling guilty.

I am Male, 26/Single/No Children* - I sold my ‘13 911 997.2 (2013 911 being manual/TTS spec) & bought a 992.1 GT3 RS *non weissach* Its a MONSTER. Revs out to 9,000 RPM W/ 7 GEARS. It NEVER wants to STOP accelerating. Foot to floor going, I am already at ~145MPH when I’m leaving 4th gear into 5th gear, with all of 5th, 6th, and 7th to GO. BUT If you respect her, she won’t kill you. I agree, it ONLY wants you to FLY. But I’ve been enjoying it being my Daily Driver. This reviewer sounds really whiny. Obviously there’s time for another car. Go get yourself a Aston sweetie 😂
