2014 Porsche 911 GT3 - Review 

clutch kick!

Lol

Frozen Canuck Patrick James hahahaa

Please mail me your last dollar then. Try 1979. :-P

Colum Wood dang it... lol

But he is right, for a sports car driven on the road just for fun a manual transmission is great. Also it I'd great when you can do heel and toe and all other stuff I can't tell in English. But if you just want to be fast the PDK is a lot better, the extra weight does not matter, due to all wheel steering.

Thanks man!

They likely did not want to give their customers a half-assed manual gearbox, due to the fact that they cannot allocate as much of their budget onto the research and development of the manual transmission because of their customer base and sales figures.

For sure. I do love stick-shifts. And I also enjoy DCTs. I drive a stick every day.

Very honest comment. I would too.

ERIC DAVIS Cheers. It looks really strange here (?)... btw, the other day a Porsche dealer told me that they stopped producing the GT3 last October - but you can still configure it online - what's the story with that?

limited production --I don't know why the option to build is still online… I have this exact build, except I have the PCCB's and it is an awesome machine. The color in person is very cool, will definitely grab your eye

Then you can't respect driving in general, because there is so much more to it than rowing your own gears.

ewt415 like putting a car in drive and then what??? Just hang on for the ride... soooo engaging huh....lol cuz...no need to go back and forth.. you're not a car enthusiast.

ingineous Well, if you need me take your through a driving experience, then I will, seeing as you clearly have never driven anything over 25 miles an hour. First off, how about the paddles? Still controlling your own gears. How about the steering? The grip of the front end? The grip and movement of the rear end? The way the car builds up power? The sensation of the car moving underneath you? The feeling of your body being an integral piece in the body of the car? The noise of the engine? The turn in? The exit? The lateral forces in corners? The degree of lean? The balance? The brake feel? The throttle response? I guess the ONLY thing an enthusiast needs to give a shit about is that manual gear lever right? No, YOU'RE not a car enthusiast if you think that. You're only a manual gearbox enthusiast. Nice try.

ewt415 gosh...A novel of garbage. It's obvious you have not a clue on being a purist and true enthusiast. Automation separates man from machine. Algorithms allows a driver to hand over strategy and talent for a simple ride on rails. Motortrend's current driver's car is the camaro... why..hmmm maybe it was the only 1 that truly challenged his skill. I'm a subaru fanatic...but I had to agree that the excessive tech was a turn off...He Randy even said he had to toggle with various settings before he could enjoy it even in the slightest. From the days of group b to the great touge. ..Real drivers make or break records ...not the car itself. When cars were hand built and attention to detail was important. ..men built works of art and drivable masterpieces. ..today...globalization and sheer demand has forced compromise and now cars are made by robots. ..

ingineous automation has brought down the value of cars and to equate. .. automation has diluted the driving experience. How can you seriously think you sound convincing by embracing technology that suppresses the driver's skill? The clutch pedal is important. .. you have to be a real driver to know your engine. Pdk isn't a manual no matter what you wanna fool yourself and think. O btw. The only person that has no real experience here is you. I grew up on a summit and my daily commute was up and down a mountain. ...and my current daily driver is a gc8 rsti that's currently on an e85 tune. So relax ....keep your automatic can't parallel park to save your life commentary to yourself. Real drivers get what I'm saying.

Yeah the 911 r will take its place..

ZenZory Overload Not likely. I heard the GT3 is returning in a 2017 model. The 911 R is based off of the GT3 RS and is a limited run of 700 cars...which I'm assuming have already been spoken for. Be good if they put the 911 R into production for "purists" and inclu the option for a PDK trans...some people don't want that HUGE wing on the back of the RS (me)...eye sore as a street driven car.

+Anderson C ohh thats great.....can I get your help with this I'm in the market for a new car I have a budget of 150k I want a super car with preferably Awd which is not a gtr or Lamborghini gallardo. I have a good friend that works at an exotic car dealer and he has to cars for me a 2014 r8 v10 and a 2015 911 gt3 right now I'm driving the r8 for a week it's a great car but I'm holding out till I get to drive the Porsche which one would you pick?

+Anderson C 2 cars* sorry typing on a small ass screen

ZenZory Overload I'd go with a 911. I don't like the look of the current R8. Too many sharp corners in the design (e.g. lights). Just doesn't have the same lines as the previous gen R8 which is the one I would have preferred if I wanted an Audi. AWD...911 Carrera 4s. Should be under $140k USD for sure. Maybe even the 911 Turbo. Though, I don't know why you need to get a "supercar". These cars are more "sports cars" IMHO...a "supercar" to me is something leading edge and "inconvenient" like a Porsche 918, Bugatti's, Lambo Aventatdor, et. Good luck.

Dude, Porsche 911s have had boxer engines since the dawn of time.

Yes, porsche has always used boxer engines.

***** I didn't realize that straight six and flat six was two different things. Always thought Porsches had straight engines.

DuudeWhatDoesMineSay A boxer is a 180 degree V6. A straight six is pretty much the opposite.

porsche with straight six would be machine for killing of young people

It does.

Yes 100% has it

Me 6 years later with an m3 that gets 13 mpg and wanting a GT3 for my new daily

Sir he was in a porsche gt. A completely different car. And when you drive with 8 year old bald tires at 90 mph in a 40 mph zone you're gonna get a lot of overstear

This might be the dumbest comment EVER.

Shit for brains comment.

bear0134 Lol, I agree phuck head!

It wasn't the cars fault, 75% of ALL Porsches are still on the road. It was the bald tires and speeding that costed a life.
