The howl of a Porsche flat 6 under hard acceleration is just glorious.

Fun fact: my dad was watching this episode back in 2003 and just when they were about to show off the Porsche, which my dad looked forward to, my mom went into labour with me and they had to rush the hospital, so my dad missed it...

Saw a newer model of the GT3 on the road the other day. They've gotten so much sexier. It actually had a look of ferocity to it that could finally hang with the Italian supercars.

@Anurag_James 13 жыл бұрын

@mattblack77nz thats true, we are on the 997, but the key difference is the head lights. the 997 has circular head lights whereas the 996 had integrated turn signals on the headlight, that little extension on the insides of the the lens.

@JETZcorp 13 жыл бұрын

@FISHURMOMBALL True, but the GT3 RS and GT3 are quite different. The RS comes with a completely different aero package, greatly reduced weight, and I believe a few extra horsepower as well. This makes the car about as distinct from the GT3, as the GT2 is from the Turbo (although perhaps not QUITE that extreme.) And, as you sort-of pointed out, neither of them have received a test on the track, which is where those two in particular are said to shine above the rest of the 911 lineup.

@jack390 Nope, all 911's except the 1998 911 GT1 which was mid engined, are all rear engined and rear wheel or 4wd. If the engine is in front of the rear axle, how can they fit a set of rear seats? How come when someone opens the rear hatch, I can still see the intake manifold and cylinder heads?

Old videos are being uploaded so people who haven't previously seen these can watch them. Yeah we know their old but some of these episodes have entertainment value beyond just the reviews. Also if I'm not mistaken the crew just did review the new GT3 RS recently as par of their upcoming shows. They were in NY with a 458 and a white GT3 RS.

@JL3Wind 2.9 is quite impressive although with that time achieved by reviewers I think that they would have called it closer to 3.2 or 3 flat for their 0-60. But I'm not in charge of that. I did mean the 928 because there was something said to the effect that if the engine isn't out back it’s not a Porsche. So I threw up the 928 and I believe the 944 was also a FR V8 Porsche. It may have less power but their also lighter than a Mustang 10 years notwithstanding.

*A stock exhaust GT3 996 sounds like a VACUUM CLEANER with a hamster stuck in it.* It needs longtube equal-length headers and side muffler deletes at the very least in order to give it that flat-6 high-pitch wail transition in the upper RPMs that is characteristic of the newer GT3 cars.
