driving the entire Stelvio Pass, in the rain with a manual Porsche GT3, with the new 4.0 engine. highlights are the rear wheel steering for the tight turns, excellent shifter, very good brakes (sometimes felt like I needed more brakes)... a fantastic car.

One of the most exhilarating sports cars on the road right now. Love it!

@alexioflexio8818 5 лет назад

for the price, doubly so.

i genuinely dream every day of owning a manual gt3 touring. i did not know of the flatshift gimmick. the PDK pop when flat upshifting the manual make it even more appealing. what a car! Nice color

@alexioflexio8818 2 года назад

honestly.. the older stuff is even more fun. get you some 993 hotness. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--dfVwrAEGR0.html

try uploading it again without the music

@alexioflexio8818 6 лет назад

you can't watch it? i think it depends which country you're in.. it seems to work for most.

@ThePilotbj 6 лет назад

He is trying to say the music is really annoying, especially when it's in a video like this, where the beautiful sound of the boxer 6-cilinder is in the center of attention. The video would be a lot more 'pure' without the music :)

@alexioflexio8818 6 лет назад

got it. man, i can't believe i made that mistake. i always wondered why people would overlay music in their videos.. and then when it comes to editing my own.. i succumbed to the temptation. i'm going to see if i have the original footage and do a pure-sound version. thanks for the feedback.

@1q2w3e4r5t6zism 3 года назад

Meine persönliche Meinung: Der GT3 gehört auf die Nordschleife resp. auf Rennkurse (der Heckspoiler!). Alles andere ist eigentlich Unsinn - ich verstehe aber die Begeisterung. Außerdem gehört der GT3 - auch der Turbo S - in die Hände eines Profis - nur der kann den Wagen entsprechend ausnutzen und die Vorteile gegenüber anderen Autos auch herauskitzeln. Aber nochmal: Ich gönne jedem sein Vergnügen und freue mich über jeden GT3 im Straßenbild! Man lebt halt nur einmal - insofern, zwar verrückt, aber alles richtig gemacht. Ich hätte aber den Turbo gewählt (Allrad, mehr Leistung und einfach angenehmer, weil nicht so laut). Aber das ist halt eine individuelle Entscheidung. Allzeit gute Fahrt!

Driving a gt3 on very wet road like this..with close cliffs...not the most relaxing enviroment for a nice drive

@alexioflexio8818 6 лет назад

AN D1 true, that’s why I took it relatively easy.

@gutze101 5 лет назад

stelvio pass is just to damn narrow and you have to watch out for oncoming traffic all the time :/ nevertheless, the alps is still the home of some of the best driving roads...

@alexioflexio8818 5 лет назад

it really is too narrow.. not really a driving road, more of a scenic one.

@MixedRealitySimRacing 6 лет назад

nice one, would love to try out a GT3 manual because I heard a lot of times that Porsche manuals are great. Have a 944, but I don't think it's a fair comparison :-D

@alexioflexio8818 6 лет назад

I've had the chance to drive some very serious cars in my life, quite a few hypercars in the mix. bottom of my heart truth, this is the best all-round enjoyment in driving I have ever experienced. it's so engaging, so capable, makes an amazing sound.. and the shape in real life is just so beautiful. i don't want for anything else.

Great video. Well done. Look forward to see more. I too have been enjoying my new manual GT3, and have fallen in love with the no-lift shifting and also the launch control feature... have you had a chance to try launch control? If not give it a try. One question... are you driving on the cup 2 tires in the rain and how do they perform in the wet. I have installed Michelin sport 4S before taking delivery of the car, as I took delivery in January and it is very wet here in the Northwest area in the US and just put back the cup 2 tires 2 weeks ago, so I did not have a chance to experience them in the wet and was curious of your impressions of them in the wet. Again great video and look forward to your experience of the cup2 tires in the wet. Mark

@alexioflexio8818 6 лет назад

Mark Qandil hi, I have the delivery Dunlop’s on.. can’t remember what they are.. but yes In the rain they were “fun”.. definitely lost some front-end grip at times.. lost the rear a lot in the wet

@bentleygucci 3 года назад

Question here Mark - I have a 2018 GT3 991.2 with a manual gearbox also. How do you get / perform a launch control without a PDK transmission? Thanks

@mqandil 3 года назад

@@bentleygucci hi. Absolutely, Yes you can perform launch control with the manual transmission. You would place it in first gear while pressing on clutch then you floor the gas peddle and at which point the car rpm will settle around 6500 rpm, then you sidestep the clutch and the car will launch like a rocket. Really fun and easy. You could do that with traction control on or off. The car would manage traction which yields perfect launch every time including on wet surface. Only challenge is redline for 1st gear comes so so quickly, so be ready to power shift to 2nd gear while keeping you foot on gas pedal planted to the floor around 8900 rpm. It feels like a PDK shift but much more satisfying.

@bentleygucci 3 года назад

Awesome Mark - thanks for the detailed info!

Did you get a ticket for speeding in the tunnel at the end? I always assumed tunnels are absolutely covered in cameras and very strict with speed limits because accidents tend to be horrific, I'm just wondering if they have understanding for GT3 owners

@alexioflexio8818 6 лет назад

yes, there is a "Gt3 exemption" for these.

@ImLeuff 6 лет назад

Hello man, really nice video, I was wondering what time of year it was when you filmed It ? I wanted to go at the Stelvio this year but I'm afraid to go and the snow block the road if I go in March

@alexioflexio8818 3 года назад

this was early May.. probably about as early as you'd want to go.. roads very cold.

@krabbe969 5 лет назад

Flat shifting is shifting without lifting the gas pedal right?

@mqandil 6 лет назад

Oh one more question if you don’t mind. You mentioned you turned traction control off ,but kept ESC on. How do you do that. It is the other way around, you could turn ESC off and keep traction control on, or you have the option to turn both off. Was that a typo? Please let me know as I always was curious how to turn traction off and keep ESC on, but it does not seem possible on the GT3. Mark

@alainbuda503 6 лет назад

@993m4S 6 лет назад

You don´t need more brakes- you need more grip braking..

@EmilehUnk Год назад

Yeah, what I was about to say. Not foot braking but engine braking.

@EmilehUnk Год назад

Funny you are bashing the Corvette and 964 Turbo drivers. However, these cars are much more snappy in wet conditions. They are driving sensible, and adjust to the weather conditions. Not like grannies. Don’t forget the age difference, and their lack of Nannie technology, unlike your car…

@alexioflexio8818 Год назад

it's all in good fun for the video, nothing serious obviously. not "bashing"

@yurixruz 5 лет назад

"sometimes felt like I needed more brakes" .. Why??

@alexioflexio8818 5 лет назад

YurixRuz because I was going too fast... that’s my honest answer. But answered another way, in the wet with repeated braking, there were a few pucker moments where I was wishing for more immediate response. could also have been the attitude of the car going downhill, the rear felt a little light as it pitched forward before each hairpin.

What are flat upshifts

@alexioflexio8818 5 лет назад

The manual in the 991.2 gt3 has a functionality where it cuts ignition during upshifts, so you can keep the accelerator fully pressed, dip the clutch and shift gears, without any clutch slipping or revs flaring. This allows you to make very fast manual upshifts.. it also makes a very cool "pop" noise, very similar to the PDK in sport mode. it also of course matches revs on downshifts in sport mode. This feature is described in the owner's manual as well.
