I think the 911 GT3 are the perfect supercars, they look good, they have a very high revving naturally aspirated flat 6 hence it sounds awesome, and are form what I've heard reasonably comfortable, and most important they are still available with a 6 speed manual, so yeah an older GT3 would be just perfect daily supercar
@@christmasisawesome9348 I am fortunate to own a 997.2 GT3 RS. I completely agree, the clutch is really heavy and the gear box is very notchy. When you drive it, you got to be ready to focus and work. I love it! But, daily driving it is not possible for me.
@@sarmand70 I am not fortunate enough to own, let alone driving it. I only had a chance to sat in one. I'd imagine driving it on an empty road with avoidable speed camera is going to be nuts!!
As far as I know, the 992 GT3 is not the first production GT3 which used the 6 individual throttle-bodies (with one backup). It was already used in the SECOND generation of the 991.2 GT3 RS and 991 Speedster, so the moment with the change to the OPF-exhausts... But nevertheless: AWESOME VIDEO!
I drive a 996.2 GT3 Clubsport. I guess, I bought it just because of the sound after a test drive. You turn the key and all the bad vibes are gone. Just a pleasure maker. They say the gen one had barely 360 hp but the gen 2 rather 400+. But because the turbo was no 1 they decided to let the stats below 400
The Porsche RR heritage still lives on. It is incredible how Porsche still managed to get more horsepower from rear engine layout and Porsche yet still reluctant or plainly refused to make iconic 911 models turned into hybrid or full EV like Taycan. They DGAF at enviro-activists.
Metzger engines have a little shorter stroke and are designed to last races. Therefore the engine was much more robust and massive than some Carrera 996/997 models. The latest Mezger engine was in the 997 GT3 RS 4.0. Due to their very solid construction, the Mezger engines can be easily boosted to well over 1,000 hp with a turbo or compressor. 9ff has build one with 2,000 hp.
Holy f*ck, what an awesome video! 😍😍😍 My perfect mix would be a non-RS 997.1 GT3 (I love its weird wing) with the 4.0 Mezger engine plus an aftermarket exhaust (maybe Tubi).
The 996.1 was NOT built at the Weissach plant. I wrote an email to Porsche AG and asked them. They wrote back that ALL street legal 996 GT3's were built at Zuffenhausen. It is common misconception regarding the 996.1 that it was built in Weissach 🤷
Stupid question. Would a mid-engined Porsche with these engines be faster and handle better? Doesn't Porsche detune their mid-engine cars deliberately, so we won't find out the answer? I would love to take the best 911 engine and put it in a Cayman, with the same tune.
@@MattBrownbill Maybe. But you have an opportunity to have such a powerful Cayman. DeMan makes a 4.5-litre 560 hp kit for the GT4. Its a bit pricey, but that’s some serious power from an NA six-cylinder engine
4:11 you guys always try to explain how an engine make hp but you always leave out the most important part. The reason the first GT3 made so much more n/a hp was because it had higher lift and longer duration cams. 7:00 3.8 liters is closer to 232 cuin.
