Best sollution is to own both, obviously.

I was thinking about buying both but I decided to go with a Mitsubishi Mirage.

@Blassie.P Ай бұрын

Couldn't agree more, that is a great solution 😅!!!

@malikwu6444 Ай бұрын

in order to own either one of two, you probably need to have bought a few porsches from the dealer at the first place🤑

@davosadao Ай бұрын

You are lucky to have been paired with a great instructor. I did this same course and my instructor was absolutely horrible. They barely knew anything about the vehicles, coud barely explain each segment of the course, and my 90 minutes was basically spent in silence. Looked forward to my only GT porsche experience and was severely disappointed. If you get the chance to do this, grill your instrctor. Dont pay this much money to get a negative experience with an instructor who doesn’t care.

God, what an astonishing opportunity to get to experience the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta via POV video! Getting to virtually sit in the hot seat of both the 911 Turbo S and the GT3, and testing them through the myriad of tracks and pushing them to their limits was simply incredible. This video alone further solidified my interest in owning one of these great feats of engineering one day. Kudos to Chris for being a top notch instructor, as well as you definitely knowing how to toss these beasts around 👌

@jeremyn6726 Ай бұрын

super cool and thanks for sharing from POV! I wanted to do this combo event with both tracks so badly and now you made it look even better. Only downside i think is that you got the golden treatment with the invite. I think paying customers get a much shorter experience and I don;t think they let people keep trying the course over and over like you got to. If this video was representative of actual customer experience i would be signing up ASAP! Either way fun to watch and impressive skills man!

Unless you’re racing competitively, the faster shift time doesn’t matter more than what makes the car fun for you to drive and nothing is more fun than manual.

@jimsteinway695 Ай бұрын

The best solution is the gt3 based on it has a gear shifter and the turbo has a “what is that” selector Plus the 3 sounds so much better

@adk7962 Ай бұрын

That’s fascinating. I’ve also noticed the same issues with my Turbo S and GT3. I have a Touring so maybe if I had the non Touring with the wing, it might help more with the downforce. Although I must admit I prefer my Huracan STO over both of these on the track. (Wakes up and realizes I need to stop day drinking) Thanks for the great video though. Still appreciate it even though I’ve only seen these cars drive by in West LA.

@xtnuser5338 Ай бұрын

"The Turbo S is PDK standard, because they couldn't find a clutch that would take all that torque." Um...the PDK has clutches, and they take all that torque. And Porsche doesn't look around trying to "find" clutches...they can engineer their own clutches if they want to. And clutches can be engineered to take as much torque as you specify, although of course they'll get bigger and heavier. I love the PDK myself. It alone has ripped me away from being a strictly manual guy. But to say that's the reason is malarkey.

@daveyboy6985 Ай бұрын

For me personally, with that power and torque I'd rather have both hands on the steering wheel at all times😂

I really do not get this hype around the GT3.....It is good to make track times, but in terms of driving experience a Giulia Quadrifoglio has a much better turn in, much better steering feel, much better chassis playfulness, much better engine response..etc..etc a 997.2 GT3 RS has also a much better steering feel, much better chassis playfulness..etc..etc..I think the GT3 is being believed..not really lived..992 turbo S, great car for a touring car..very efficient 1st and second gear pulls, but after 3rd gear, not very different from other older cars in terms of performance. pdcc quite helpful in making the car efficient, but also making the driving feel more damped and a bit confusing at times... For me still the top porsche is the 997 GT2 and the 997 GT2 RS. Maybe the 991 GT2 RS also very good, but that one I never drove...
