Larry, since you wore socks with flip flops and street clothes to jump in a pool, you have to tell us the outro song title on audio jungle. I have listened to pages and pages of files on audio jungle trying to find it...
@@tigera3807 Different stroke for different folks. You can buy some cars which on a track will be faster for less money, but obviously these "special edition" rebadged cars have a market. This "935" is just a slightly lighter GT2 RS with a different body on it. Overall it's quite a disappointment when compared with the heritage of the "935" class of cars from Porsche. Being a VW group brand though it isn't too surprising, VW just try to commercialise everything, sometimes these things exist purely to be the best they can be, Porsche seem to have lost that vision in recent years.
Great to see one of these 77 built carbon wrapped GT2RS 991.2 being used. The last one for sale sold for USD 1.6m had zero miles on it. The shifter is in honor to the carrera GT. Awesome video.
Well the GT2 RS is only there in gen 991 as a whole, there is no point 2 gen of it. Not like with the GT3 RS. Also both the 935 and the Carrara GT have their wooden shiftknobs as a hommage to the early Porsche racecars. I'm just telling you this. 😉 Hope I'm not wrong myself btw. xD Gotta love what Porsche do. 👌🏻
If you want to drive you buy a GT2 clubsport (basically the same car without the aero). If you are a collector you buy the 935. Sad but true. They are to expensive (even for a racecar) and rare to risk them on a track.
Can't help but admire(aspire to be, even) Jeff Zwart, his modesty is almost unbelievable - when he talks its almost as if he isn't even aware of who he is in this world! We're lucky to have such an incredible human being; especially, selfishly, for us gearheads!!!
@@michaelblurry6559 naild it Rama. we need more Jeff and less SCHMEE in every aspect not including cars as well. two of my best friends who love Porsche don't know who Jeff is but have SCHMEE on their sub list
2:48 - "This car is a two pedal car... It's got ABS, it's got TC, and stability management. All these things that I never had to deal with" Ahahaha I love this guy 😂
When you peeked under the tail and mentioned how you can see a bit of 911 under there, it reminded me of how if you look at the back end of a BMW i8 it looks like it's pooping out a 911.
I got a chance to talk to Bob Ingram at VIR last weekend about this car. We're invited to come visit it soon. Kudos to Bob and Rory Ingram for making this happen, and showcasing this car!
I use to race 911's. The original 935 was always a dream track car for me (along with the 962 and GT1). When Porsche first announced they were doing a modern 935 recreation, I was skeptical it could live up to the legend. I'm not sure it does, but it's still a seriously kick-ass car!!! TY for sharing this with us, I always enjoy your content!
[I can't help but muse on this for a minute - it's something I've always found fascinating] The great thing about auto racing is that it's primarily mental talent & skill over physical ability - if you're dedicated to it, you'll only IMPROVE with age(aka experience)! There are SOME limits at the high end of course - professional open wheel and, to a slightly lesser extent(they produce their speed in a more forgiving fashion than open wheels), top level prototype racing DO have physical ceilings - but, for GT/door car racing? Even as crazy fast as these cars are(lap times as quick and quicker than older prototypes!), they're SO forgiving to drive(relatively speaking obviously) that it's simply more of a mental game than a physical one. It's always fascinated me actually, because you always hear these "youth vs experience" cliches, yet, in auto racing, you ACTUALLY see this play out with incredible parity. The younger drivers have more "ignorant confidence"(so called 'bravery'; but, the reality is, we just don't know any better when we're young LOL) if you will and minor physical advantages of reaction time and physiological endurance, but the older veteran drivers have all the knowledge in the world that is simply unattainable without DECADES of experience(outside of the abnormally talented of course; the proverbial 'less than 1%'), much finer 'feel' and familiarity(aka, muscle memory), racecraft of course, and psychological endurance, all of which they are able to leverage to make up for youthful exuberance & physical ability. This doesn't just apply to road racing-style auto racing either - guys like Walker Evans & Ivan Stewart cemented their legend & off road legacy especially in their 40s & 50s(and, mind you, we're talking about competing in the Baja 500/1000 for 10+ hours - not cruising around a nice smooth paved race course!), John Force(although he has finally started to fall off some now that he's in his **60s**) and many other infamous names are STILL competing in Top Fuel/Funny Car, Pro Mod, all of the fastest classes in drag racing where reaction time is the name of the game, oval racing has of course seen a lot of veteran presence since it's always been such a chess match of strategy & car management, so on and so forth. After all, what do 2-wheel racers do when they can't physically keep pace? They climb into a cage! And, that's not even getting into building your own cars, where decades of experience can result in an "unfair advantage" of knowledge. It's fascinating stuff, and, frankly, that's why I think motorsports is one of the greatest hobbies/interests that we have available to us - you are as competitive in it as your will allows you to be, almost completely regardless of age, it really is something that you can grow into throughout your life rather than one that you end up being pushed out of due to the detriments of age.
ive seen this car in person several times, it looks soooooo much better in person and sounds amazing, the car resides in NC, or atleast it was. Sounds amazing during a cold start as well.
Larry - Please do a video where you and your racing buddies wax poetically about the worlds best race tracks. I’d love to hear some behind the scenes stories of what make places like Pikes Peak so special.
The grey Pegasus on exposed carbon looks awesome but there’s so few of these masterpieces out there that they definitely need to cycle through some different livery’s during events
Super video! Great to hear all the interesting details about this awesome car form Jeff Zwart. Just one point though, the Moby Dick did not win Le mans.
Zach Diecast Mansur Probably a handful. Fun is mid level 300-500 hp lightweight under 3k lbs with some over steering attitude. This car looks purpose built and focused. I would love to drive this thing on lowish boost on a track with some runoff, not up PP with drop offs.
Fun fact: that exact 997 was the one Car & Driver reviewed, right after the review, they switched the tires, put in a racing seat and sent it up Pikes Peak.....
Dudes, you want a profile of cool? Check out, 'old dude' Jeff Zwart as a representative of the genre...plus Senor Zwart wears fashionable lead shoes...
In 10 years, this thing will bring over 6 million at auction. I remember the 911 GT1 car. They were fast and rare and expensive and shot way up in value. This is the same kind of deal except.....faster.
