Both the 991.2 and 992 GT3 share the same 6-speed manual gearbox, with the same ratios. But do they differ in how they feel on the road? Lee pits a 991.2 Clubsport against a 992 Touring to see if the manual transmission offers different nuances between the two 911 generations.

Big thanks to those who bring out the Porsche to be driven,not hidden, from my observation far too many Porsche are hidden in garages and driveways robbing the owner of real Porsche ownership experience. Thanks for sharing!

@bbkGT3

Yet, another informative and educational video, well done. I think we all like the look of the 991.2 and 992 Tourings. Not that my opinion matters but dare I say the great profiles are ruined when the real wings are in the operational position. It just looks way too agricultural. A ducktail, like the Sport Classic has and what Techart now offers, is so much better.

I really enjoyed this clip

@saquibramday

Outstanding video Lee - well done. Every day is a school day, flat shifting sounds excellent

I had a 996.1 GT3 Club Sport for many years which came with a single mass flywheel and found the gear change pretty good to use though the clutch was on the heavy side as is the case with all 996 & 997 GT3 variants. Was fortunate enough to have a brief drive in a manual 991.2 GT3 and I reckon this is the best manual gearbox in any car I've driven. I've driven a couple of 997 GT3's but never liked the gear change on these as felt stiff and awkward but maybe these were just cars that had been abused.

Again, Great presentation for us geeks and another learning experience for me. I have Patrick Motorsports G50 gearsets in my air cooled with Wevo shifters. For all of us mere mortals in the US-look at the PECA (Porsche Experience Atlanta) West track. 992 GT3 driving on track with a Laguna Seca Carousel, VIR S's, Nürburgring banking with elevation and and blind cornering. 2 Hours of amazing track experience with the AC on and private instruction at extreme speeds. Amazing for us who can't afford or get an allocation.

@grantg1046

Don't forget that the 992 has lower ring & pinion final drive to offset the larger diameter 21" wheels/tires.

@cartergarnon6299

The single mass flywheel and a couple vinyl stripes can be had for roughly $250k less than the 911R badge. Drivers vs collectors obviously but the scarcity element/argument of collector cars gets nullified by the fact that upgraded tourings are multitudes rarer even than 911R’s. Scarcity plus superior performance, mixed with youth will eventually win out in the Porsche market. Folks coming from civics etc where mods come from eBay can’t fathom that swing, but a Sharkwerks Porsche for example is worth multitudes more on the aftermarket because the next buyer doesn’t have to be inconvenienced for the superior experience.

@shorehambeach

Loving the little detail videos Lee 👏👏👏

@shaheenevans

Love the detailed review

@markhumberstone7068

Great video, I believe the 992 & Weissach 991.2 have twin throttle bodies which is where the extra power comes from, also I am lead to believe that the 911R gearbox was designed and used in 911.2. I've owned 2 991.2 manuals and currently a 992 GT3 manual and I would say the engine and gearbox feel the same but chassis is very different and the shell feels bigger.

Always have time for a

@Askgeez

Enjoyed that Lee . A manual 991 GT3 is always in back of my mind . Flat shifting heh ! Great geeky fact that i hadn’t heard previously

The 992 doesn't have a single mass flywheel. I suspect the difference you're observing is from the 992 individual throttle bodies.

@seans2163

Can you turn off auto blip to rev match yourself?

@brunomajor1860

991.2 gt3 doesn’t have a single mass flywheel, also sport mode changes nothing except activate the auto blip. sorry, just being a nerd

@matthewj.ennam.d.7059

The 991.2 GT3 (winged and Touring) have a dual mass flywheel. Neither are available from the factory with a single mass flywheel. The 991.1 R had the SMFW as an option and on the whole, the examples with the SMFW sell for more on the aftermarket than those with the DMFW.

@brianhimmelman420

confused … is the 991 in this video fitted with a single mass flywheel?? is it from the R or aftermarket? I thought AP said this is not possible as with hurt the car … please advise thanks
