Because it's powered by a GT3 flat six, duh 😂

Because they clearly don't know the difference between a G-body 74 Carrera and Carrera RS...they also used GT3 Exhaust recordings for that paltry 2:29 minute 997TT video. LA Porsche owners and flim makers 😉 We see you!

Why this channel is too powerful

Ummm Nissan GTR and v10 Lambo are King not this glass engine

💀😭😂

you know what i thought was cool , at laguna seca my local track has a DB limit on exhaust loudness so all the laguna seca cars have their own exhausts etc etc. the gt3 cup cars with the laguna mufflers sound SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. idk what it is but it makes them sound nasty.

def up there the LFA

@@12gauge_shawtyy LFA, Carrera GT, GT3 RS

For me defo not top 3 although it does sound good. Carerra gt, lfa, pagani zonda f, McLaren f1, Ferrari 360 cs plus some of Ferrari v12’s sound better imo. I’d also put the the old murcielago sv in there aswell.

I would say the BMW N55 is also one of the Legendary (Turbo) Inline 6‘s since the newer S55 and B58 motors sound kinda trash

Probably why owners have that saying “once you get a GT3, you’ll never go back to wanting another car”

I’d agree with that. People get caught up in hp numbers.

I agree bro. Felt like this ever since I discovered the 911 . No matter ho w many cars I see and love the 911 will always be my dream car. I could take one from 10 years ago, last year, or even 40+ years ago. Car is fucking timeless dude.

@@mateo10734 fr when i have the time/money. First huge big boy purchase I’ll ever get is a GT3.

@@mateo10734 I feel the same way. Can't go wrong with a 911. Any year but the newer the better.

I worked in a shop in Canoga Park, CA where we would modify 996T and 997.1T as well as clean up other shops' mess and actually make it work. Pulling 800BHP out of a 996T on pump gas and 1,000BHP out of a 997T on E85 has its merits but come nowhere near the harmony of a factory Porsche GT3/GT2 in handling. Porsche engineers are GOOD engineers.

The GT3 was NEVER overpriced. It’s exactly the opposite. The most sports car you can get for your dollar. Period

​@@jimsteinway695- only morons say period.

I have always been a car guy .I saw a GT3 rs and thought, why would I spend that kind of dough on a car. At that time, I owed an S Class, a Jaguar F type, an Acura, anyways, 8 cars total. The moment I drove that Porsche..... minutes later.. I bought one plus a 1987 Carrera and am now looking for a 914. Porsche cars are a visceral experience for me.

This is 1000% true. I thought that in general about Porsche until I drove one. The minute I floored a turbo, I understood the hype.

I could butter my toast with that smooth voice.

Only discovered this channel a few weeks ago and am super surprised I hadn’t come across it before. Fantastic production values with an amazing level of detail and insight. This channel scratches an itch that no other channel comes close to doing. These videos are like automotive porn to me. Only complaint is I wish they were longer. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be in my bunk. Please knock before coming in..

"the engine fire problem" - yes, glad they handled that

Any info can be added? Not too familiar in Porsche history.

facts

Already on it👍

@@337speed sweet!

Go see it on Engineering Explained. Very detailed

should be illegal to build a car without that transmission tbh

@@337speed 👏 awesome! Thanks guys !👊

always remember what Tom Cruise said when he was behind the wheel of one: Porsche. There is no substitute.

The "competition" is all *turbocharged.*

Thanks bro really appreciate it🙏🏽

@@337speed informative, straightforward, descriptive, and technical. Awesome 👏. Could you do a breakdown of the MK7 and MK8 GTI and Golf R engines? (EA888.3 and EA888.4 gen)

Yes i drove this car too. And for comparison the Huracan Performante, R8 V10 Performance, 991.2 Turbo and i would still take the 991.2 GT3 over anything

I have heard the jump from 991.2 GT3 to 992 GT3 is a new story

The new Porsche 992 911 GT3 R race car engine has 4.2 liters of displacement and 565 PS. Maybe this engine will be in the 992.2 facelift GT3 RS version in just a few years... Because 911 GT3 race car engines have always been literally the same as the engines in the 911 GT3 road production vehicle.

​@@user-jf8gd3lv7q what if 4.5 😂, how much hp will it produce

s2000 had 120hp/L

@@Hondacrxdelsol33 Yup. It held the record for quite a long time before it got unseated by the Ferrari 458 if I remember.

Why does HP/l matter? I think HP/engine size or HP/engine weight is more useful. s2000's engine is not much smaller or lighter than a Chevy lt1 V8.

@@zijunx1595it’s a good question. But hp/L gives a better approximation for engine character. High hp/L cars will have higher revving, sportier feeling engines. Often high compression ratios too. They are just more fun to ring out.

​@@vthaver1Then why not use the red line itself?

1999 and the engine was developed in 1997-1998 around

Naturally aspirated*

@@Lumiere_ lol.. that all you have to add?

That’s so nice man! Big congrats to you, I wish you so much fun with it! I really love the brand 😎

Make sure to visit the Porsche Museum when you're in Stuttgart! :D

Comparing a 2L 4 to a 4L 6 Motorcycles make much more HP/L than both regardless

bikes have bigger cams and smaller stroke, they make that power in relatively small portion of rev range (tho smaller bore=valve area)

@@harryplatt7942 yes. but the 4 liter 6 has direct injection, high flow exhaust, decade of newer tech, is more inherently balanced, etc. Apples to Oranges, in Porsche's favor. What i was saying is that if honda made a flat plane V8 out of it and gave it the same contemporary tech as the Porsche, it would have been epic. I can also compare that 4 liter 6 to a 6.5 liter Ferrari V12 which also beats both the Honda and the Porsche. Cheap Honda, Expensive Ferraris, porsche fanbois will still find excuses either way. And this vid is about car engines, not motorcycles.

Look up neutron engines k48 design; the guys making a v8 from two k series motors and it will rev to 10k

@@sebastianhasbun3846 its not stock factory engine that is mass produced and has to meet emissions standarts.. dart block small chev will also rev to 9000+ all day long and no one is icluding it as its race engine that is widely available tho

lol ok. 239hp 2.2L = 108hp/L. Previous version was 237hp 2.0L = 118hp/L. 0-60 in 6.4 seconds and lap times eons slower than a GT3. Would make a good stepping stone for someone racing spec Miatas who wants to eventually move up to GT cars though.

I was about to say exactly that about the s2000! Honda was the leader for a long time!

@@FourT6and22 the main talking point was HP/L...Honda did 120HP/L NA in 1999. This is nothing new.

20 years ago my built wrx was putting out 200hp per litre. I hammered it hard for 3.5 years and only blew 1 turbo.

For msrp of $9300, Kawasaki z900 is a steal with a 948cc engine that smoothly produces 125 hp. Max rpm only 10,500.

Sounds good on paper with 120/5 hp per liter but those engines are not impressive. S2000 are mind blowing slow and what makes the f20c engines junk is the FRM cylinder liners. This is why ppl swap the k20/24 fwd engines in the s2k to make them fast.

@@mikehawk6563 Who swaps them? i heard of a few K swaps who then are even slower. K swap only makes sense if you turbo it or supercharge it which is a sacrilege imo. Mindblowingly slow but one of the fastest cars in Time Attack and Best Motoring Togue runs. I bet you only drive cars in a straight line and they probably have to make peak power at 3k rpm lol because it sounds like that from your comment. And the F20c was the developement engine for the K, the K is the mass production version of the F20c and has the same amount of issue but due to the much bigger and cheaper aftermarket you can make more power but stock to stock no comparison, based on technology the F20c is way ahead even it is a much older engine. I agree you have to be very careful with the engine, but if you know what to do they run forever, i know many people who run their f20c on track and have 200+k miles on it. But it's not a engine and car for everyone, you need to know how to drive it and how to take car of it, it's not as simple as a k engine and thats were many fail. And it's certainly not made for straight line speed.

@@mikehawk6563 + people compare it to cars it was never intended to be compared, it is not supposed to be fast in a straight line, it's supposed to compete with small roadsters like the mx5 etc. which it totally dominated in early 2000's and 240hp NA was a lot back then especially in such a small engine which comes with a lot of advantages regarding handling.

I won’t🙏🏽

@@337speed can you do a video on F1 engine especially W13 Mercedes

A Ferrari 458 speciale makes 134hp per liter.. 605 from a 4.5l V8..

S58 inline 6

Letssss
