After I finished weeping from Mark's beautiful smile, I pulled myself up by the bootstraps, worked hard, and went to the Porsche dealership to get that GT3. I now own a base Macan financed for 144 months @ 16%.
Mark you may not remember every film that you saw with your dad, but they all contributed greatly to your ability to put together these consistently strong short films you do all the time now. Best car channel on youtube.
It's obvious you spent some time making and editing this video, a true homage to the automotive perfection that this car represents. Can't wait to see where the gt3 and savagegeese go in the future
After driving the 991.2 GT3 at the Porsche Experience I really got the experience that you see written about the GT3. When I was younger I always figured it was just hyperbole about a way too expensive car, but the more you learn the more you understand. The sound at 9000 RPM is amazing, the razor sharp inputs and throttle response, the huge grip and brakes, and how when you figure out to load the front coming into a corner and then you can get on the throttle early on the way out to exploit the grip, it is a great feeling. Then you factor in that you basically have a bullet proof GT3 Cup engine in the car, with amazing fit and finish and you can easily understand why it costs so much.
My buddy took me for a ride back in the day when his 996 GT3 was new - car reminded me of a 600cc sportbike how it just wanted to rev and rev and how the speed built. The answer is always Porsche.
@@roboticvenom1935 The c8z is a nice accomplishment by GM, but not in the same league as a GT3. Fit, Finish, Engineering, and Euphonious all in one. (I own a c7 z06).
The way you formatted this video almost made me shed a tear, and this is truly a dedication to automobiles and the passion they brought us. Thank you Mark for depicting the exact feelings and emotions we car enthusiasts get when we are talking about our dream cars. And Thank you Porsche for keep making cars like this and for keeping our dreams alive.
From your quirky humor to your uncanny ability to articulate the essence of an automotive experience, Savagegeese is the best car channel, period. You guys have move the bar yet again with this latest. I’m left speechless following the video…I can only say, “thank you”.
Brilliantly gave us “peasants” a taste of what it’s like to drive one of these with the cinematography. Honestly one of my favorite videos you guys have made.
I've seen one recently in red. As usual it was driven by an old guy. The proportions were spot on and the whole thing with the giant wing looked majestic.
I love the gt3 and all but I really don't think it's the best travel, family or transport car out there. So less that it doesn't make the cut to be the best overall car. Something like the taycan CT or Panamera GTS would take that role.
To Mark & Jack: I don’t know for how long you can keep doing what you are doing but I appreciate your sacrifices. I doubt this will make a difference but it’s at least something. Thank you.
@@ptee17 To make this work financially requires almost constant 7 day a week schedule and its impossible to continue long term. So, in this time you will hopefully see some great work.
@@savagegeese No shame in calling it quits after some some set time but I hope you don't burn yourself out of this love of cars. It's something that has truly enriched my life. Would suck if you lost that.
One of the best videos I've seen from you guys. Short but sweet. Captures so much emotion and thoughtfulness. And you chose the perfect car for it. Modern GT3's might just be the best sportscars that will ever be made. Bravo.
Much to my surprise I actually teared up watching this there's something this car touches in the limbic brain that's impossible to put into words. Your best work since your MX5 Video in 2016...Kudos!
I started watching automotive videos three years ago when researching my Boxster. I’ve watched hundreds, maybe thousands and this had to be one of the best produced I’ve seen. Well done and Bravo…your dad would be proud Mark.
Mark, this video touched my soul. My dad was also into films, he traded movie-rights but it all ended in mineur ... Dad and I we both shared the same passion, cars. And while we were struggling to meet ends, we could only enjoy cars from a distance, and we did. But as you described so well in your video, this passion pushed me while taking countless hurdles. I had to say farewell to dad when Covid took him by surprise. Today, I do own that dream-car. A Porsche 911 4S and 718 GTS ... but I can't share it with dad anymore. Bittersweet. Love your (professional) channel. Thank you for taking the effort and create valuable content. "understanding car dream" was different, but from your hart. Thank you for sharing that emotion.
greatest savagegeese video of all time? I think so. Thanks for the work you put in to make these look and sound so much better than other car channels.
Best video yet. Have been following you guys a long time, & I really don't know how you've managed to up your game in such a short amount of time, it's unreal. You're better than Top Gear at this point. Fantastic visuals and review. What more can I say💚
Better than Top Gear? Hella 🧢 bro. Savageese is good, but Top Gear is on another level. If you knew anything about cinematography, you would understand.
What a beautiful and emotional video! Made me think about my dreams of owning a Porsche as a kid. The posters on my wall. The model cars given to me by my dad. Really connected with this! 🙏🏽❤️😎
This and the LFA video are what defines me as a “car guy”, that pursuit of engineering perfection with an extreme passion for motorsport and engine noises, and high revs. I think many of us see our passions reflected in your videos, and our dreams as well. Thanks fellas
Emotional beyond words! My dad passed away early this year, and your last line caught me by surprise and made me cry, man. Beautiful video, and it definitively transcends.
Man, I love all your work, but this one was extra special. Great job. From a guy that grew up with a movie buff and car lover for a dad it hits home. Thank you for doing what you do. I can’t fathom the amount of hours you put into these and know it can be thankless at times, but it’s worth it. You are touching and moving people. Got me all misty eyed at the end as well. Thank you. 👊
As much as it hurts, being the huge porsche fan that i am, the chances of me ever owning such an one of a kind dreamcar like the GT3 are pretty much next to none. However, through videos like this i can at least get a glimpse of what it would be like to open the door to my garage and look at an perfectly detailed GT3 that's just waiting for you to get in and start the engine so thanks for these videos and never change the way you do them. Let's me dream again too.
Love the intro, I swear the production value and the time put into these videos are quite impressive! It’s crazy how you guys aren’t the top car review channel.
That's what I call knocking it out of the park. Highest standard reviews, should be mandatory to watch your way of doing reviews for everyone doing reviews of ANY product, not just cars.
Great video. The car dream is is a great topic! What every car person works towards. This is why I'm watching these videos, it doesn't matter if your a huge 911 nerd or just have a love for any sports car. These types of cars have that wow factor. Never was a huge 911 fan, appreciated them, they always just looked blah. Then my best friend invited me on a ride/drive multi day car rally in his GT3RS......Ummm, this car does everything right. I'll say it again, everything! You truly have to drive one of these cars to appreciate them. Same with any great sports car. Go out and drive them, make those memories! It's worth the sacrifices to get to a point in your life to be able to open the door in your garage and realize that dream! Thanks Savagegeese for making these types of videos. Also, big thanks to my best buddy Steve!
Awesome video. The sound of that engine is what I love the most. I’m very blessed to have two of those engines, a 991.2 Touring and a 718 Spyder. Both manual.
This the best written car channel and car tv show ever produced. Everything about you guys has so much soul and I love it. Too many channels or tv shows are filled with nonsense and fake laughs. You guys are 100% authentic and I love it. Please keep these amazing videos coming for a long time ahead!
"the drive"... Can't hold my emotions. This is truly a connection to the child deep-deep inside us. Meditation of the wild instincts that manifest in us. Thank you a lot for that video.
I’ve been subscribed for about six years. I’ve always enjoyed your channel and personality and appreciated your work. This happens to be my dream car and you’ve done a great job showcasing why dream cars are so special.
I loved the subdued audio. I'm constantly riding the volume on everything I watch out of politeness to others around me and it's a pain in the ass in the age of extreme dynamics and youtubers with no concept of sound mixing. Thank you for not making me turn the volume up to hear you speaking and then blowing my speakers with sudden engine screaming, and for using softer music instead of the standard aggro stuff normally used in car videos. My volume finger and neighbors appreciate it.
@@dragospahontu They've done F1,make aeroplanes,some of the best motorcycles, sports cars, generators and so on They're masters of engines and development
One beautiful thing about living in Las Vegas is I can drive virtually any car I want, including the new GT3 (and soon RS) on a track any time I want. It really is special, and an amazing experience. Great video.
I never liked Porsches until I heard and drove the GT3 RS. What got me hooked was high revving (9k rpm) and amazing sound of the engine and second the handling. Never be a brand fan, be a product fan. No matter what brand it is, look at their product. And a GT3 and previous Gen GT3 RS are on the top of a car enthusiasts list.
What an absolut piece of art is this video !!! , I love this videos keep it up guys you are amazing. Videos like this inspire me even more to achive a dream car like this . thnks
When people say that the days of true automotive excellence are behind us clearly have been living under a rock because cars like the 992 GT3 are some of the best cars humans have ever made, and they’re continuing to improve. I have never been a huge Porsche fan but as of recently they have been knocking it out of the ball park with all of their new models, and the GT3 (RS) has quickly risen to being my favorite new car on sale today.
Awesome! And well said, as usual. On a video production related note, it’s crazy how much big, modern tracks in the middle of a field dull the sense of speed for viewers. This holds true all the way up to F1. There’s just little justice for the actual pace. Half speed on a hilly, twisty, and wooded backroad is more engaging. I even feel that way when I’m doing the driving. Would love to see you produce a video in a Best Motoring/touge setting.
Ok, I don't normally comment, but I have to make an exception for this one. I loved this video, not just because I am a lifelong Porsche guy, but because it wasn't a "review." This was just a message, a thought, a parable, an I don't know what, but it was great. Thank you.
I watch you guys to learn something new and I watch Throttle House to laugh. Excellent content. Now how to figure a way to go from a ZLE to this thing. More hard work
Superb video. This channel is what Top Gear wishes it could be. Love the no BS shaking cameras and lack of ridiculous sound effects and bad acting. Yours is a true enthusiasts channel. My favorite car channel on RU-vid and it's not even close.
In complete honesty. After owning modern Porsches from the turbo engine range to the GT3. Including my GT3 Touring. None of them can provide the excitement & edginess of a classic air cooled car. It’s really only something that can be understood once you’ve been in & out of the classics. The longhood & g-body cars are pinnacle 911. As much as the GT3 is a marvelous weapon on track. It really doesn’t have the same fizz on the street as a classic. Take it from someone who waited years to get my GT3 Touring. It will be my last modern Porsche. Only classics for me going forward.
I just finished racing my built, yellow 993 Carrera RS Club Sport with 500hp in Gran Turismo with a full cockpit setup and h pattern shifter and it’s so fun it blows my mind. I can’t imagine driving this GT3 on track in real life. It must be Nirvana.
Big thank you for one of the best videos I've seen in the past year regardless of the topic. It feels special, precious, and intimate at the same time. Cheers!
It’s the rawness. I’ve always been a Porsche guy and even driving other cars such as Mclaren and LAMBO, I still always wanted to jump back into my car. Speed is one thing but the connectedness and feel of every input is what makes me love the GT3.
My godfather just let me autocross his 2022 718T cayman and it was something I'll cherish forever. What I felt has been encapsulated and expressed here in a way that is truly special. Cheers
WOW. Usually I just watch, pick up the information or marvel, get entertained and then watch something else. But this... it just brought tears into my eyes.
Thank you so much for this. My Father, who took us to movies in the same fashion passed recently way too young so this video hit hard. I also recently lost my 1 year old Son (3 weeks ahead of our wedding, my fiance of 10 years left me because of it). Getting my brand new Porsche is the only thing keeping me going. That's it. Nothing else. It's all I have left. Again, thank you for this. It actually made me cry. Mark and Jack, you are the absolute best. Love you guys.
@@jackholmes8105, it did, Brother. It truly and honestly did. I'm not religious, but God bless you, Jack. God bless you. I know you guys work like mad to make these videos and everything can feel like a stressful mess. But never forget, you 100% touch people's hearts as much as you do entertain them. Cheers, mate.
That was a seriously special video ! Such a meticulously crafted weapon for the track. Or street I guess. Thank you for the fantastic onboard no talking focused driving 👊🏻🙏
THANK YOU for leaving in some uncut onboard scenes. These POVs are the only thing that really relate to the viewer, at least give him a rough taste, of how a car handles. Plus, as a non-semite European, I am generally pro not being cut :)
Always a highlight of my day when your guys drop a new video. As a car enthusiast this car will always unobtainable but appreciate the spirit and level of detail. Thanks for providing a glimpse of what one of the best cars ever made is like 👍
Masters on display every single video. Cinematographers of the highest order with the most epic Car manufacturer with race pedigree for the streets. Bravo guys!
Mark ive watched your transformation, from 'guy working IT desk job, putting putting out some (great, humorous amd technically well made videos - but, a hobbyist) to taking that leap, making your passion your profession - and watched excitedly as the quality level and viewership has ascended to great new heights., in becoming, whom I believe, to be the premiere automotive *film maker* in this country, maybe the world. Your humor. production chops but most importantly great storytelling - has reached the next level and I look forward to each and every video you produce, Something about this one is different though and I was epecially touched by this masterpiece.. Its not easy to change your life, take the hard road - and walk awy from your no doubt comfortable professional life - follow your dreams and to do so with such quality and consistency is simply amazing. I dont know where your peak is - each video just gets better and better. Congrats and kudos to you. It takes a special kind of balls to go down this road and youve done it with such incredible grace, I am truly impressed and inspired. Cheers.
Beautiful video gentlemen you are a pleasure to watch. I just drove the GT3 at the Porsche Atlanta center. I own a 911 Turbo but my next Porsche will have to be the GT3.
From goosebumps to tearing up to anger that this car isn't in my budget to being hopeful that maybe someday it just might.. This video pulled me in all sorts of emotional directions. Great job on conveying your experience with such a great automobile.
What I always appreciate about you guys is that you know when to shut up while driving and let the car do the talking. Everything you say has purpose and timing, so that when you're in the car and it's singing around the track you don't have to blab on about how you're feeling, not like SOME youtubers.
That movie in the theater analogy is brilliant. Still thinking about it. Also, I think you watching all those films has left an impact on your videography skills and is almost certainly why your channel is the best on RU-vid.
The best of the best. It's impossible for any sports auto maker to come close to the iconic Porsche 911 of any era to date. Kudos to Stuttgart for giving birth to such an engineering marvel. I hope we could still save the manuals. Great and thorough review as usual.
It’s like I’ve been in a dream for six straight weeks since picking up my first P-car a 2022 Cayman GTS. Coming from a humble background I never thought I would ever get to own one. But you said it best it makes me wanna work harder and trade up to the GT3!
