Because they clearly don't know the difference between a G-body 74 Carrera and Carrera RS...they also used GT3 Exhaust recordings for that paltry 2:29 minute 997TT video. LA Porsche owners and flim makers 😉 We see you!
I agree bro. Felt like this ever since I discovered the 911 . No matter ho w many cars I see and love the 911 will always be my dream car. I could take one from 10 years ago, last year, or even 40+ years ago. Car is fucking timeless dude.
you know what i thought was cool , at laguna seca my local track has a DB limit on exhaust loudness so all the laguna seca cars have their own exhausts etc etc. the gt3 cup cars with the laguna mufflers sound SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. idk what it is but it makes them sound nasty.
For me defo not top 3 although it does sound good. Carerra gt, lfa, pagani zonda f, McLaren f1, Ferrari 360 cs plus some of Ferrari v12’s sound better imo. I’d also put the the old murcielago sv in there aswell.
I drove the 991.2 GT3 at Porsche Experience and it was eye opening. When I was younger I always thought the GT3 was overpriced and overhyped. But when I drove it you can easily see why they are such great cars that easily are worth the asking price. The 9000 RPM engine from the Cup car was tested at 186 MPH for something like 17 hours for a total of 3000 miles. It felt like it could be beat on and never complain. The chassis is incredible with amazing turn in and mechanical grip, and you get gratification when you trail brake it in and hammer the throttle early on the corner exit. The brakes are stable and incredibly strong with great modulation. The sound of the 9000 RPM is music to any car guy. What a car.
I worked in a shop in Canoga Park, CA where we would modify 996T and 997.1T as well as clean up other shops' mess and actually make it work. Pulling 800BHP out of a 996T on pump gas and 1,000BHP out of a 997T on E85 has its merits but come nowhere near the harmony of a factory Porsche GT3/GT2 in handling. Porsche engineers are GOOD engineers.
I have always been a car guy .I saw a GT3 rs and thought, why would I spend that kind of dough on a car. At that time, I owed an S Class, a Jaguar F type, an Acura, anyways, 8 cars total. The moment I drove that Porsche..... minutes later.. I bought one plus a 1987 Carrera and am now looking for a 914. Porsche cars are a visceral experience for me.
Only discovered this channel a few weeks ago and am super surprised I hadn’t come across it before. Fantastic production values with an amazing level of detail and insight. This channel scratches an itch that no other channel comes close to doing. These videos are like automotive porn to me. Only complaint is I wish they were longer. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be in my bunk. Please knock before coming in..
"As a person who saw and heard a dang loud GT3 RS ripping it at the asphalt highway on our town here in the Philippines and the only time I've ever seen a Porsche personally in my life today, it definitely sounds and looks beautiful and I would not forget that afternoon." What a legend.
Bro thanks for this video series. These are some fun and enlightening videos. No filler, no silly intro, straight to business and excellent production. Keep crushing it my friend. Peace.
That drift at 7:08 out of the Chris Harris 991 review from back in the day is iconic. The noise from that particular scene gave me chills and I remember it like it was yesterday!
I have a 991.2 GT3. The first time I really noticed how special this car is is when I drove a base 991 911. The difference is night and day. The base 911 is an incredibly well-handling car; in the top 1% of the average cars you'd see on any given day. The GT3 makes it feel slow. It's ridiculous how effortlessly the GT3 carves through corners, accelerates, and brakes. It's the perfect "track specialist" car that can also be daily driven. An incredibly difficult balance to strike, but Porsche has done it year over year.
Yes i drove this car too. And for comparison the Huracan Performante, R8 V10 Performance, 991.2 Turbo and i would still take the 991.2 GT3 over anything
Really appreciate your work/production. Graphics excellent, information spot on, background relevance 100%. Straight to the point - clear, concise and comprehensive! Loving it!
Watched this video about 6 times already and just thoroughly impressed with the amount of research and knowledge that went into this vid. Excellent work and look forward to the next one.
@@337speed informative, straightforward, descriptive, and technical. Awesome 👏. Could you do a breakdown of the MK7 and MK8 GTI and Golf R engines? (EA888.3 and EA888.4 gen)
Bro is getting me so hyped abt every car that he reviews which is an AMAZING THING. I knew that porsches were absolute beasts on the track but this just makes it seem like there is no competition
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS OMG! Amazing engine, amazing video, production keeps going up every video It deserves to have multi-million views. I didn’t know so many things and I’m a gt3 fanboy
As a guy that did his apprenticeship at a (non factory) porsche specialist and spent several years of my trade maintaining and providing race track support, you guys have absolutely nailed this.... Until youve driven one of these in anger, especially an early cup car or RS, youll never understand....
Just found this channel. There's not many creators on RU-vid where I'm not skipping through the video to get to the point... here I am binging all these episodes in whole even though so much flies above my head. Awesome stuff!
The GT3 has always been my favourite Porsche especially after I had to park one while working as a porter at a hotel/golfclub (in 2002 i think). It had under 200 miles on the clock:-) But I never knew the racing history it has! So thank you for that!
127 bhp/liter, only 7 bhp/liter more than the original S2000 of the past, which had no direct injection and had a relatively tame exhaust. Imagine if honda built a V8 out of the F20C and spent as much R&D on it as much as what Porsche spent on their flat 6.
@@harryplatt7942 yes. but the 4 liter 6 has direct injection, high flow exhaust, decade of newer tech, is more inherently balanced, etc. Apples to Oranges, in Porsche's favor. What i was saying is that if honda made a flat plane V8 out of it and gave it the same contemporary tech as the Porsche, it would have been epic. I can also compare that 4 liter 6 to a 6.5 liter Ferrari V12 which also beats both the Honda and the Porsche. Cheap Honda, Expensive Ferraris, porsche fanbois will still find excuses either way. And this vid is about car engines, not motorcycles.
@@sebastianhasbun3846 its not stock factory engine that is mass produced and has to meet emissions standarts.. dart block small chev will also rev to 9000+ all day long and no one is icluding it as its race engine that is widely available tho
One of the most concise and precise video of this amazing supercar I've ever watched .....brilliant editing and well presented.....as a Porschphile....this video got me glued to the screen....kudos to u mate....
Brother…the education you just gave on the DNA of the Porsche GT3, like always is stellar and 2nd to none on RU-vid and the internet. I thought I was a serious car knowledge geek. You explained the damned thing!!!
I miss high revving over 100HP/L NA engines. I greatly enjoyed them in my S2000 and Z4M. They are so rare nowadays because of fuel economy standards (that's my understanding at least).
@@zijunx1595it’s a good question. But hp/L gives a better approximation for engine character. High hp/L cars will have higher revving, sportier feeling engines. Often high compression ratios too. They are just more fun to ring out.
Great informative video. Now I see why GM is always wanting the Corvette to be a 911. Love the GT3RS 4.0 I always thought they made a 4.2L but I guessed wrong.
The new Porsche 992 911 GT3 R race car engine has 4.2 liters of displacement and 565 PS. Maybe this engine will be in the 992.2 facelift GT3 RS version in just a few years... Because 911 GT3 race car engines have always been literally the same as the engines in the 911 GT3 road production vehicle.
the Gt3 is hands down my dream car which soon will be a reality! I'm a huge Porsche fan and am doing a trip to Poland and Germany and will for sure visit the Stuttgart. wondaful video, very pleasant and enjoyable to watch.
Please do a video on the F20C which made 125hp NA in 1999 (in Japan) rest of the world it made 120hp per liter NA (due to emission standards). It has some fancy tech like special light friction carbon coatings for the cylinders etc. and arguably the worlds best shifter ever made.
Sounds good on paper with 120/5 hp per liter but those engines are not impressive. S2000 are mind blowing slow and what makes the f20c engines junk is the FRM cylinder liners. This is why ppl swap the k20/24 fwd engines in the s2k to make them fast.
@@mikehawk6563 Who swaps them? i heard of a few K swaps who then are even slower. K swap only makes sense if you turbo it or supercharge it which is a sacrilege imo. Mindblowingly slow but one of the fastest cars in Time Attack and Best Motoring Togue runs. I bet you only drive cars in a straight line and they probably have to make peak power at 3k rpm lol because it sounds like that from your comment. And the F20c was the developement engine for the K, the K is the mass production version of the F20c and has the same amount of issue but due to the much bigger and cheaper aftermarket you can make more power but stock to stock no comparison, based on technology the F20c is way ahead even it is a much older engine. I agree you have to be very careful with the engine, but if you know what to do they run forever, i know many people who run their f20c on track and have 200+k miles on it. But it's not a engine and car for everyone, you need to know how to drive it and how to take car of it, it's not as simple as a k engine and thats were many fail. And it's certainly not made for straight line speed.
@@mikehawk6563 + people compare it to cars it was never intended to be compared, it is not supposed to be fast in a straight line, it's supposed to compete with small roadsters like the mx5 etc. which it totally dominated in early 2000's and 240hp NA was a lot back then especially in such a small engine which comes with a lot of advantages regarding handling.
the 4.0 flat 6 making 500+whp naturally aspirated is absolutely a testament to porsches engineering. bmws new s58 engine barely does it with forced induction and the s58 is arguably the best modern 6 cylinder engine.
love these videos.. great edits and delivery, ZERO bullshit, ALL facts straight from the spec sheets, no random biased fan boy shit, u sir deserve 1m subs
This is my idea of the quintessential 10/10 car. This is on paper the point at which no further enhancements could in good faith improve the experience.
lol ok. 239hp 2.2L = 108hp/L. Previous version was 237hp 2.0L = 118hp/L. 0-60 in 6.4 seconds and lap times eons slower than a GT3. Would make a good stepping stone for someone racing spec Miatas who wants to eventually move up to GT cars though.
I’d love to see a video in this series going over the Ford Australia engines like the 4.0L inline 6 Barra in the XR6T or the Supercharged Miami V8 in the FPV GT-F
This is my favorite car in the world! I would take this over any car! My dream is a 991.2 gt3 rs with a PDK! I would sell my soul for it! 😂😂🙏 to me nothing sounds better than a high reving flax 6!
I was never a big porsche guy and didnt really care for them until the 992 generation GT3 and GT3RS dropped. Now the GT3/GT3RS 992 generation is my dream sports car. Stunning piece of engineering.
Regarding the HP per litre, the standard factory Honda S2000 was making 124Hp per litre back in 1999, well before Porsche ever did in normally aspirated form.
I think you don't understand the relation between power per litre and revving for smaller engines vs larger engines.. look a the typical RC or bike engine, easy analogy.
