Love the car and the fact that you're one of the only car vloggers that at least tries to do heal and toe!

Anyone who has ever said "Money can't buy happiness" has never driven a Porsche 911 GT3.

I bought one of these last March, use it most days and absolutely love it. You're right about stiff clutch etc but the gearbox does loosen once the fluids are warm which I guess you would have noticed during your drive. Mine is dark blue with the comfort seats, they are height adjustable and I can sink quite low in them. Previous cars were RS4 Saloon, M3 V8 Comp pack and M4. All good cars in their own right but i craved for something more hardcore. I'll likely end up with a 991 GTS for practical reasons but for now I'm going to enjoy the GT3 for a couple more years.

Gotta love the sound of the Mezger 3.8L. Love the style Luke, keep up the good work.

That sound 😍 What a gem. Talk about a drivers car...

This video series is just a pure gem on KZfaq recently. Fell in love with this 997.2 GT3. Even more than i used to be. So hardcore, just love. Pure love. THANKS Luke for letting us enjoy this journey!!

So much love for the 997.2 models! The 997.2 GT3 is for sure my favourite car! This over all. 😎

The introductory cinematics of this video was some of the best I’ve ever seen.

just got the chance to drive a 997.1 GT3RS in green and it was a childhood dream come true. A regular 997.1 GT3 would do

Thanks for this upload ! Every week I look forward your videos !

997.2's don't need rev match, the first heel and toe attempted in one will be a success and you'll never look back.

I seriously enjoyed driving the 997.2 GT3. It is raw, brutal, and sooo connected. Each shift feels like shooting a classic rifle. The prices are quite high in the US so the .2 is getting out of budget for me unfortunately.

I agree with your point of 997.2 GT3 not being daily-ble. But it'll certainly hold it's value better than a GT4 or 991.1 GTS.

The 997 MK2 GT3 has always been my favourite, such a stunning machine

Great car. Last Mezger. Special thing. Your point regarding the Nav and stereo is very relevant - on both my GT4 and 991.2 GT3 I have ‘stereo delete’. No Nav. No radio. Which is perfect for me, but people do always question me for doing it!

Great video, for me the best GT3 ever made. The shape of the 997 with the best engine and of course MANUAL.

Genuinely never liked Porsche as a whole brand until I came across your channel, Luke! I’ve loved them ever since

Thanks for being the most straightforward and least annoying car content KZfaqr. Enjoyed this.

If you consider a 911 to not be a daily driver, then there's no sportscar for you I'm afraid. This is seriously the most daily-drivable sportscars out there.

Great cars, great cinematography, laid back attitude, you got yourself a subscriber!

Perfect LUT for the car and environment! Well put together video Luke!

This car was on sale in the Netherlands a year ago.. I was so in love with it. Couldn't afford it, it will be a few more years.

Another great video Luke. I would advise caution though on the 997.2 gt3 right now. You'll be buying high and I can see the market correcting itself soon. Obviously that isn't an issue of you don't sell it but would hate to see you get burnt on the potential depreciation.

It's the gt2 seats that make you seat higher. The CGT seats are even lower than the 918 ones. P.S. Get a 991 gt3 with warranty and you are set. Same price as these, great cars, probably has had a new engines (meaning less miles than the odometer shows).

Awesome video once again. Love the edit and the cuts. Great!!!

Get a 997.1 turbo manual, replace tail lights with LED and upgrade stereo with car play after market and you’ve got an amazing car for the money. Will not depreciate from here and probably appreciate.

Such a great video and channel in general. Thanks Luke!!

So nice video and the porsch sound is fantastique !!!

Revs to 8.5k... I have one. Fantastic car. Still very fast. 0-125mph 12 secs flat 11.8@122mph 1/4

Hi Luke, very nice car. You should definitively stay around the GTS which is a car you can use on a dally basis. 997 GTS or 991.1 GTS would make you happy in your price range!

This is such a underrated car ! Remotely 'affordable' and a step up in performance compared to the 991 Carrera GTS. Looks amazing, i'd go for it

Great videos Luke, I'm enjoying this series

Those folding buckets definitely sit higher than the fixed back buckets and the comfort seats, it's bloody annoying. I have them in my 997.2 RS, looked at lower seat rails etc but just got used to it after about 6 months.

997 was the real true GT3. I mean don't get me wrong! I love the 991 GT3 as well, but it's just such a comfy car I could give my mom to drive. The 997 GT3 is as rough as the GT3 is supposed to be.

I've got 2010 GT3 and they are absolutely driving machines, nice video but I wanted to hear more to the revlimit gear changes :) I know, you're going way to fast by then...

Undoubtedly a GT3 for purists! Pure music for the ears and soul!

this over an GT4 and holds better its value

Brilliant Luke, love the video man! One of my top ten fav cars

If your max budget is 100k and you want a new daily driver than there are only 2 choices: Jaguar F type or 718 Cayman. I’ve got the Cayman for a few months now, it’s my only car and I’m in love with it. I also tested the F type which is a beautiful car, but in the Cayman you got this real sportscar feeling when you drive it. You recently tested the new Cayman GTS, I would recommend you to also test the 2L or 2,5L, more then enough power! Also, the Cayman is the most pratical car, lots of luggage space, reasonable fuel consumption, low co2 = low road tax, ‘cheap’ insurance. And for those who say the sound is terrible, try testing the car in real life, the sound is much better than most youtube reviews say it is.

Man my fav porsche guy in YT and my dream porsche 997 gt3!

Please! Drive the 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8/4.0

On point as usual. I will be in Zurich tomorrow - hopefully see some delight cars! 🙂

So stunning in red!

4:07 dem shifts be poppin' !

Incredible quality !!

Driven this one multiple times. Its awesome

Try a C7 Corvette Z06. I drive mine everyday, even here in Canada where it was -32C this morning. The Viper.....not as livable. The Vette, I would argue, the best all around supercar/sportscar made.......period.

The quality of this video is amazing m8 keep going It's an amazing car actually I'm addicted to Porsche 💙

Loved the shots at the beginning of the video. That little big monster in red looks amazing too

Nice video...I have a 7.2 gt3 in guards red that’s modified a bit for track usage. Love my car to death but it’s a bit boring to drive on the street. As you mentioned, the gt3 doesn’t seem to like being driven slowly. When driven in anger it really shines.

your videos are insanely good. keep up the good work!

Still think that 911 Turbo S in black with the aftermarket mods you drove is the holy grail of Porsche's. Even has 2 seats in the back.

Congratulations on 40 K subs. Keep up the fabulous work!!

Great review as usual, Luke! The 997.2 GT3 is one of my dream Porsches since it was launched, but I understand the fact that you want it to be more of a daily driver. I really like the new 718 Cayman GTS and you can spec it with PDK. You can buy a 991.1 GTS, 997.2 GTS, because they hold their value pretty well. I can’t wait to see what you’ll pick! Greetings from Romania!😄

So how do you like the 997.2 GT3 compared to the 991.2 GT3?

I’d love a 997 gt3, I personally think 997 is best Gen.

Keep up the good content 👍

Luke, what I think maybe a decent balance would be a 997.2 Turbo with a GT3 rear wing and a GT2 front bumper. More than enough power to Hoon around in and comfortable enough to be a daily driver.

The best camera work in the game

good review! but stick shift being too hard work on a daily basis?? you granny

I know you're a Porsche guy, but i'm daily driving a '13 Camaro (V8 Stick Shift) over here in Germany and it was the best decision ever. Such a good Allrounder, even decent trunk space... You should at least try one, maybe the new Gen6. Good Luck with your search :)

Love that smiling laugh of you that is coming from the true love of the car sensation. I have the same sensation when i get the chance (far too little) to drive a cool car

What a car 👌🏿awesome vid

What an engine

Gt3 POWER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I doubt you'll reply to this, but what is that rev matching tool? I've never seen anything like that before and would love it in my 997. All the newer porsches have rev-matching for their manuals, and frankly, I'm not good enough to heel and toe. People constantly tell me to practice and practice and I'm like, I don't want to fry a £4000 clutch just to practice to be honest.

Great video and car Luke. Almost perfect. But for the value you need the 003 option (clubsport) The value of this car went up very steep the last 3 years and now going down. So certainly the moment to buy one if you don't want to lose money.... Anyway, try also the 996 GT3. Gears are shifting more smooth. You will not be dissapointed ;) Enjoy your journey!

In red, this is a beautiful GT3

Go Porsche!!! Love the vid resently!

So perhaps a 997 GTS will be 'just right'? Or, how about an R8 with an S-Tronic (dual clutch) gearbox? Style, speed, comfort, AWD... :D

You definitely have be hardcore to daily a GT3. They are an experience, but can be harsh on crappy roads. The GT4 is a great compromise that is daily capable. Glad you got to at least experience the car though. The engine sound is intoxicating.

It maybe a few years old now but it still looks really good (and I'm talking about the car) 😁 And that exhaust note, truly awesome 👍🏼 😍

It will be tossup between the 997.2 and the GT4. I 997.2 is raw and feels more special. But the GT4 was more liveable for me, and less running costs due to it's newer age.

The engine sound sounds really good, did you change something ? Great video and awesome GT3 😍

One again a great video what a car the sound is crazy :)

hey Luke, much salt in Switzerland on the roads … see many 997.1 GT3 RS’s in silver orange spec

I actually think it sounds better than 911.2 GT3

Awesome video on an awesome car - agreed on the clutch being a little too hard for a daily driver

Nothing beats Maserati's Granturismo downshifts (and rev blips) :-)

Good job, great video, thanks.

Awesome car!!! They sound sooo good!! Raw!! What about a 991.1 Carrera S/4S with PDK? Perfect daily and you can do some small mods to make it more raw!!!

Can you provide more detail on what exactly he did to the exhaust setup? Thanks

What a great car, especially with a manual gearbox! Porsches gearboxes are so well made and so much fun to drive, so definitely the right choice for a driver‘s car like this!

Very very nice car, metzger is the dream. A GT4 is maybe also to hardcore? Then a Cayman GTS or 997.2 GTS must be a great fit.

Over inflated prices on those cars because of the manual. Better off getting a 991 gt3 for a few bucks more.

I so wanna see Luke with the latest Aston Martin Vantage

bmw m2 -sports car for daily use ?

997 GT3 is the perfect drivers car because it’s not perfect.

the answer is simple: forget everything. find a great PTS voodoo blue, with pccbs and buckets seats GT4 and be happy! had one in 2016. And i m drooling for another one....!

@Cars with Luke Have you considered a 997.2 GTS? or even a 997.2 C2S? I know it's lower priced and not as special, but for daily and for fun it is the best for both. The lower revving nature of the "normal" carrera's also lets you experience the sound of the motor more often. The only thing you would do if you purchased the "lower" grade carreras is that you'd be tempted to change the shifter

Uuu😮😮😮 that Porsche is pretty nice

what about the previous version of the R8 with the 5.2 litre V10? Not sure if there is a manual version of it but would defenitely be in the budget and it is awesome

Luke, you are a way more rational sports car shopper than I am that is for damn sure! LOL #Keeper

This is great that you're considering purchasing a car like this.

Hi Luke, love your works bro. I understand porsches are brilliant and magnificent, I deeply love their sports cars too. But if those porsches GT department cars are a little bit too hardcore, have you thought about any products from bmw m products? maybe an e82 1M, or e46 csl? I believe they should be half way in your budget range; they are reasonably fast and they offers relatively more room and daily usability than caymans or 911s. Just my 2 cents. Again, love your works and your channel man.

I agree drove a track car daily great fun but done that Id have a carrera t or a gt3 touring If I could do 85k plus.. Gotta find the right shoes to heel and toe in .

Hey Luke! I just wanted to say I love the way you create your cinematic shots! What camera equipment do you use?

Hi luke Are you coming to Geneva carshow? Will be workin there at porsche

I prefer the GT4 for daily use as well. Beware of the depreciation with daily use though

First thing you need after getting it, center muffler bypass :D
