Perfect remote control car

Hotwheels 😂😂

Porsche is fast around the Nurburgring. But Mercedes puts far more effort in the laptimes even more than Porsche. Then there's everyone else like BMW who do a practice lap, then a real lap...and that's it...even then its probs a 3rd party driver like the one who did the M5CS who's about 10s slower than everyone else. Meanwhile Mercedes runs around the green hell for 6-9 months + installs chassis mods, installs aero packages, semi slicks and has several runs. Each top end Mercedes car 'AMG GT Black series and also AMG-GT R' have atleast 2 record times from 2 different drivers. Porsche only has 1 official timed run record for each model. Clearly this shows Mercedes puts twice the effort. Being in F1..they clearly excel in track racing over other manufacturers and can carry over the expertise and teams etc If Porsche had the same commitment...the top 3 would all belong to Porsche and it would best even the AMG one, but absolutely kill the rival AMG models

​@@ertugrulbae46this show how good porsche is They arent even trying but they still super strong

For what the cars cost, it very well better be.

@@clubertithere are a load of cars for ten times the money that are slower.

I don't know whether to be more impressed by Porsche or Koenigsegg. Both are ridiculous with their engineering.

It’s a beetle with huge spoilers. And somehow it’s a race car

@@chung729chungit isn’t “somehow” a race car, it IS a race car lol

@@Sylviaorsmth nah, it isn’t a race car but it is a race car

That may be the best description of why Porsche has consistently been the best car on the planet for the last 50+ years, well spoken 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾

@@Sylviaorsmth... and a VERY SUCCESSFUL race car...

YES !! 🏁

I watched it twice. Amazing everything!!

especially The Straight Pipes. Their vids just get worse and worse

that track looks like garbage though

Nah, I've watched a lot of TH, this transcends Top Gear

'Sack of meat between the seat and the peddles' was pretty good, too!

When, I saw that table of food to talk in pictures, I realized that they have been looking at old Top Gear with Jermy, James and Ricard which were the best.

The use of Michelin chef cooking in comparison to the adjustability is the most top-gear thingy I've seen

Yep. LOL.

I also laughed.

Hey at least it was one of the redesigned ones haha

How do you know that is a prius? It could have been a Ferrari.

You need to getnout more

that's awesome

I love old 911s. Especially non-ducktail, non-turbo ones. I just love the sleek look of it. What kind of 911 is yours? And how does it drive?

I am going to have to re watch the viper one after this.

And umm are we gonna ignore that a manual only car? This is a DCT in this video!

I think that this “track” that they have is not at all what the GT3 was designed for. Put both on the NBR and the new GT3 RS has a 10 second gap on the viper. And I mean this literally. 7:01 for the fiber and 6:49 for the GT3 RS.

@@michaelb3576To use the Nurburgring is a terrible example. Porsche backed the testing of their own car, the GT3RS. Meaning they had a proper team, engineers, mechanics, and all the equipment for the car ready and available at the ring. Whilst the Viper attempt was a literal crowd funded effort by viper enthusiast. Even with the complications the team faced and only have one real working car they still managed a staggering 7:01 time. The drivers and the team said if the car definitely had more in her, enough to get under a 7 minute lap time. The ACR still holds 10-11 records, and again that’s all with a manual, RWD, and fixed aero and a huge N/A engine… and it’s been out of production for nearly 7 years now. It’d be pretty embarrassing for Porsche to have their 992 3RS not be quicker be a great margin, which honestly from what we’ve seen it’s not all that much quicker lol. ACR seems to be the king here especially if your an actual experienced car enthusiast 🤷‍♂️

@@TheRenegade. okay then use a horsepower equivalent Porsche as a comparison. How utterly gapped is the viper then? I’m not saying the viper is a bad car. It’s a legend for affordability and getting the most out of your cash. But my point is that this short circuit, which is mostly flat is just not at all what the GT3 RS was designed for. The aero and suspension are designed for longer more complicated tracks with changes in altitude. Just because you like something doesn’t mean that I don’t when I point out that this isn’t a great “track” for testing both cars capabilities. The GT3 RS won’t even create peak downforce to make DRS actually effective on this track. Their straight is nowhere near long enough.

Max hardley uses drs being in the lead lol.

​@@manuelrendon8083so did Ayumu Uehara and Shioriko Mifune. They also rarely used DRS when they were on the top 3.

Max doesn’t need it lol but it was funny

@@manuelrendon8083 he uses it when he laps the others

@@manuelrendon8083in Spain max had a drs problem and he said that he pressed the drs 50 F times in the radio message

Seems like GT3 RS VARIANT is much a pleasant surprise despite the price tag tells otherwise.

@@purwantiallan5089the price is not that insane when you think about it. It’s actually cheaper than a huracan tecnica that doesn’t have half the engineering of this GT3 RS

@@CLSTRN911if you can get it for sticker

@@CLSTRN911I think he’s talking dealer markups if you weren’t able to get it directly from Porsche through ordering

@@jeffrey-f you can't buy a gt3 rs without an invite from porsche

Any idea when this is due to the market?

@@michael-masi-2021 I have no clue

​@@michael-masi-2021sometime with the 992.2

TH is always so late to the party like with the Purosangue but their vids are always bangers so idm

I on the other hand have absolutely no interest in the GT3 RS but Throttle House makes it worth watching.

​@@TermlessHGWwhat if TH reviewed the CAYMAN GT4 ClubSport or Renault Clio Sport V6 24V.

​@@A_S12042yep. Always bangers like Doug Demuro.

@@purwantiallan5089 bro said Doug demuro his voice pisses me off so much 😂😭

Coco Hayashi ever put some hotlaps in on that GT3 RS at Brno.

I hope they get the c8 z06 on their track one day

These kinda powerful cars aren't good for their small bumpy track

@@AvidUTuber And yet it still put down the fastest lap time. Imagine that? Also with the GT3RS, you can tune the suspension and diff to work on a small bumpy track or a medium sized one or a big long one with smooth sweepers. That's the beauty of the car.

@@MakkyTakiStoleYourBaki😂 trash

lol same exact thought i had.

Hah. Big corporate motoring companies are more interested in reducing cylinder count, banning combustion (in the engine, not on the grid), installing remote kill switches (politically driven punishments), and taking away individual control of transport. That all takes a lot of time and resource that could otherwise be spent on designing nice sports cars that do things faster, harder, sharper.

"And I'm JAAames(?)"

Because he is thinking..."how the hell did I end up doing this great job". Wouldn't you feel the same?

Still can't get used to his new name he got in witness protection

It's one of my favorite parts of their videos.

Yep. Along with Koenigsegg Agera.

@@purwantiallan5089 bruh, I'm a Koenigsegg fan. Those eggs don't sound good cuz turbskies

it sounds perfect, and what's impressive about it is that its very simple, its not flashy and wild and still somehow sounds better than most wild supercars

@@Ar1AnX1xi mean for a 911 it’s extremely flashy and wild, but i get and agree with your point

@@lavender_queso if it was in black or not a bright bright color, I feel like it'll shave off a good amount of the flashiness honestly

If you haven't yet, get a cheaper Porsche. It's 90%+ as much fun for 1/10th the cost. I love my '09 Cayman S I bought 4 years ago. On the track vs 911s (mostly 991s), I was faster in the corners and had just as much fun as those guys. I covet the 991, but I can't justify spending 2x as much for a car that's 10-20% better.

Brother, one day, you'll be an important Porsche owner. Until then, you'll still be an important human for the ones you love ❤️

Same boat. Graduating with an engineering degree this year but by the time I’m ever able to afford this or any of the Corvettes and muscle cars I’ve always dreamed about they’ll be long gone.

@@Lucky008aau false, cayman is garbage, and a lot of base cheap 911 are mediocre. Especially when you're considering "fun" in equation.

@@maximborodyuk3773 OMG you're right. I didn't have fun at the track. I don't love it every time I drive it. I'm been living a blind fantasy of ignorance this whole time. Thank you for your enlightening perspective. How wrong I was.

This is so accurate,I was like, there’s no way it’s holding this speed in the corner and he starts accelerating mid corner, just blew my mind.

same, in video it was fast, so i know irl he was moving!

Every corner from the onboard footage seemed that the car would run off into the grass- but no. So wish to be in the passenger seat of that car and get scared to bits.

... and it would still go into an "overheat" protection mode if it didn't just catch on fire.

I don't think so; Ferrari recently allowed the German "Sport Auto" magazine to run a max effort test lap with the 296 GTB on the Nürburgring, without any restrictions whatsoever..

​@@zix_zix_zixthey also withheld car and driver from testing an f50 for a year only for them to test a customer F50 and it was slower than the F40. Oh and the SP3 press drives were limited to 60mph...

​@@ShaiyanHossain60 mph per hour is like assessing a sprinter's speed while he is jogging

@@-_--le3zklol exactly

One of the great joys in those games, really. I'll never get to drive one of these, but I would happily spend hours getting it set perfectly for my driving style if I could.

I've spent ages on that game. Still don't have a damn clue what the suspension stuff does, or the diff...or what the best settings are.

@ertugrulbae46 Thomas does a decent job of explaining how the diff and suspension work in plain English. Raising the strength of the diff on the acceleration side causes the rear end to jump out more and oversteer or slide coming out of corners, like the clip where he refers to the BMW as a hooligan (best visual I can think of from this video). As for spring rates on the suspension, if they're set too high, you get a much stiffer suspension and less grip on rough or bumpy surfaces but it reduces body roll and lets you keep a lower center of gravity. Lower spring rates give you more roll and a softer feel, but more grip on a bumpy surface since it keeps better contact with the road. Probably not the best job explaining those things, but hopefully it makes a bit more sense. In terms of Gran Turismo: higher spring rate is good for smooth racetracks, and lower is better for Sarthe or Nurburgring since those tracks are so uneven they can throw your car around.

Bro I still have my PS2 memory cards with all my drift spec cars saved lol.

@@Shiny_Dragonite Perfect explanation on the spring rate part! It’s no wonder the 911 became so popular with Dentists and Surgeons in the 80s, it’s like wielding a precision scalpel! Totally dialed in and focused.

This is what I noticed! Impressive.

ACR with the same tires

Glad someone mentioned this! Also as sublime as the 3RS is I’d rather have the manual V10 that’s a second off from the Porsche. Regardless both are cool but the Viper is just a little cooler 😂

A good run she had for all those years

As a Porsche fan, yes the viper is seriously awesome

Yep. It also has 600bhp.

@@purwantiallan5089 right....

@@PhillyDee215 he's wrong tho, it has 502hp or around 495bhp

Yeah but unlike in top gear Thomas Clarkson was the (relative) voice of reason.

And when the other guy ate the napkin, it was a total Richard Hammond moment

Came here to say this

Maybe one day you can buy a used one with 200,000km for $90,000 USD 😂

One day when they lose a ton of value, (why you should never get a car brand new cause you lose most of your money) I will hopefully buy one 😂

​@@fxlltxtsearchwell they did used one. Even You Watanabe ever driven this GT3 RS in 2020.

​@@mikeoconnell9019yep. Fans dont like it when those cars lose all their values.

@@fxlltxtsearch That ,,one day,, will never arrive for this car and porsches in general......This car is 260k MSRP....but you can't get one under 500k at the moment

Agree.

Or... Hear me out. If you keep improving on the same exact formula since WW2, you tend to figure out how to make it good?

In the 992 generation the engine moved quite a bit forward (17 cm) - it is not really behind the axle anymore. The new chassis is called MMB (mid-engine kit).

​@@ilikeexxsthe 992 operation also behaved quite differently.

Porsche always gonna top them all off.

Probably won’t being it’ll be the last non hybrid 911 for na records.

This car will smoke most purpose built cars at their own game. It’s mental

I watched one at VIR the other day and it looked like cheap CGI or a cartoon or something. Nevermind the forward speed, it’s lateral speed was not trivial.

A lap time is cool but be honest majority of owners don’t have the skill to get those times anyway. A manual option would have been amazing and is quintessential for a gt3rs in my eyes.

@@johncena-hq1ti hey, I'm all for a manual. All my sports cars are manual but in this case, I think if an individual wants the manual experience and doesn't care about lap times, just go buy the GT3. The RS is a track focused model, which is more geared toward the enthusiast who wants to extract the fastest lap times possible(for their skill level) so the PDK is the proper application. I mean, the 991 RS was PDK only so this should come as no surprise.

@@STORM3SHADOW nah should’ve still been an option. Manual gt3rs’ are icons. Mindlessly clicking paddles is great and all but shifting your own gears in your street legal race car is a match made in heaven. The manual is one the main reasons why the 5th gen viper was such a great car and has doubled in value.

You Watanabe to TH: PRESSING 100 times for it to work. YOSORO!

What about "Yohane Tsushima slappin' enemies into oblivion"?

As amazing as even Ford Escort Maxi.

More like Porsche Triple Crown jewel.

@@purwantiallan5089someone didn’t get the joke

@@purwantiallan5089 no it's not like that

I would prefer to have the 997 GT2 RS; make it black and manual please.

Yeah for real the current 911 generation has been outstanding and I love the one light bar across the back. Takes me back to earlier 911 models

@@Ethan-wr2os Maybe that’s why I like it so much. They went away from the long taillight for awhile. And the previous 911 has it but…is just okay to me. The 992s are just so clean and elegant.

Idk the 918 spyder review left me with a smile along with the aventador svj.

@@misteratoz very good reviews I agree the ACR viper review was also incredible!

Ai Miyashita and Lanzhu Zhong approves.

With 200hp more.

@@kraenk12 The extra 200hp more is pretty much useless on a short, windy track like that. If hp did it, tons of cars would be faster. And did I mention it is a discontinued, six year old DODGE?

​@@norwegianblue2017Also you forgot to mention that the Dodge was on racing slicks......

@@Beastnappy Source? Not that it is much different from CUP2 tires. Not to mention all the other wet weather that prevented proper practice runs: "The team looking to set the Nurburgring record with the 2017 Dodge Viper ACR arrived in Germany late last week with plans of spending several days practicing before making an official record run on Monday. Their first few practice sessions were rained on, so while they got some track time, the conditions were far from ideal. When the crew finally got some sunny practice time, both cars ran into rear wheel bearing issues, which sidelined the team until they could get new parts. Once the cars were repaired, the Viper ACR team was prepared to make a record run on Monday, but once again, they were rained out. They did get some practice time on the wet track, but no official record run was made. Fortunately, on Wednesday, the team was finally able to get the cars on a dry track for a proper record run and the results were very good. Dominik Farnbacher laid down a time of 7:03.45 and that is the quickest time ever run by an American car with witnesses at the Nurburgring. Best of all, the team had planned to make one more run today, but unfortunately, after a great start, another odd mechanical issue struck. A communication device required of all cars running the Nurburgring was placed under the dash, somewhere behind the gauge cluster. During Farnbacher’s run - which track officials state was one of the quickest starts they have seen from a production car - a portion of the communication device fell out of the dash, coming to rest behind the pedals. Because of that, Farnbacher lost the brake and the clutch, killing the run and forcing him to limp the car around to the pits….and then it started to rain while they were in the garage area fixing the problem. Farnbacher may have been on pace for a lap time starting with a 6, but due to the mechanical issue and the rain, the team will have to settle for another record lap time as the quickest American production car to ever lap the Nurburgring." dodgeforum.com/articles/2017-viper-acr-sets-new-nurburgring-record-american-production-car/

What about 911 GT3 ST?

every few years there is a new gt3 rs, i think you should get a Fiat Multipla. It's more unique

fiat multipla is much better looking as well

Let's also not forget the tires the ACR was on. I'm sure if you slap some slicks or cup2rs on there the time will come down to most likely take first place.

​@@kurumatt473 Yes. On the Ring an ACR would Be in the low 6:40s on Cup2Rs
