The Cost Of 20,000 Miles In The Porsche 991 GT3!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2020
- This is my Porsche 911 991 GT3 manual! A car I bought with a very long term view to the ownership - to enjoy across track days, road trips and daily driving. I'm just over 20,000 miles in now and it's about to have its next major service - so what have the costs been so far?

Supercar ownership as it should be: driving the wheels off it at every occasion AND on track, without constantly fretting over values and finance
No, that's called being rich
@@MrDrmorbid tru... but still, while I wouldn't call this a supercar... these cars and more super ones are meant to be driven, not to be sitting in a museum.
Zishan Syed gt3 not a supercar? This thing is a mammoth on a track.....
@@simon8089 No 911 is really a supercar and that's precisely why I love them so much! I mean maybe the RSes, but as far as I'm concerned 911s are sportscars, not supercars. The Carrera GT is a supercar, the 918 is a hypercar, but the 911 is a sportscar to me. I've never fancied a supercar for myself, I admire them and drool over their looks and stats and sounds, but I would probably not own one, I'll definitely own and drive a 911! In fact, I'm kind of half seriously looking for a a GT3 Touring atm. Let me know if u know someone that wants to sell...
@@zishansyed8905why CGT and 918 are not in the same league? I thought 918 replaced the CGT. And never understood hyper/super car difference.
But agree with you about the 911.
I love the idea of owning a car for life. The experiences, the scars, the stories are all there and give it so much character.
i try but with how shity car build in normal.. it just better to just get new one.. after 20 years...
Exactly, like ever so slight wear on an alcentara steering wheel after driving it hard around on a track
@@BijanIzadi gotta wear gloves!
Completely agree with you!
"So what have the costs been so far?"
1800 pads + 4000 tires (normally) =5800 pounds.
Really curious what the service will cost!
So nice to see someone actually driving their car as intended. There are so many You Tubers out there just drive them around London with silly exhausts. Keep up the great work!
Sports-cars are never intended to be dailydriven. Toyota is a car that is meant to be dailydriven. Sportscars are meant to be special to escape on the weekends or late nights
I think it’s brilliant your actually running this car as a long term plan. So many you tubers car guys are simply running a car for a few months and passing it on. Actually seeing a car like this run for a long term is going to be really interesting to follow. Keep the running updates going. I’m hooked 👍
True definition of daily driver. One journey...a man and his car. Beautiful. What an epic idea and car to go along with it, thanks for the vid
I really enjoy these videos. Showing and explaining things as you did James. I'm glad you're driving the GT3 daily.
Great video. In the market for a well spec’d GT3 so this is a good overview of what to expect
I’m genuinely excited to see how far you can push this GT3. It’ll truly show the reliability of Porsche.
How refreshing to see a well known UA-camr properly use their car! It's liberating knowing you don't have to worry about the mileage you do for fear of values.. My 991.2 C2S gets used at every opportunity. Well done sir!
Love that you drive your cars. The GT3, AMG GTR PRO, and Viper TA are all cars i am looking at for my first supercar. Great info.amd video as always James.
watching your videos always make my day better thanks a lot and hope that you will be the biggest in the business
Thanks for the support - lots of epicness to come!
A gt3 video with Mr JWW is always a bit nostalgic and heart warming 😌 Thanks for this, fun stuff to follow 👍🏽
I love that you daily this and plan to keep it a long time! Definitely my dream car.
Really love how much you appreciate this vehicle and understand the costs of ownership and want to use it for what it was made for.
Nice to see a UA-camr making a video as to Why your KEEPING the car, rather then the often “Why I’m selling my car” videos. Well done James.
Good to see that you are properly using the GT3. I had a 986 Boxster bought new and 15 years later when I sold it it had 108,000 miles on it with no major faults during its time with me
20000 miles, I'm impressed. I look forward very much to more information about your next major service. Keep it coming Mr JWW
These are my favorite videos. I want to hear real people talking about their own cars. Well done!!
Excited to see the service content! Thanks for sharing!
I always enjoy watching your videos.Keep up the good work and enjoy your Porsche.
Great video. Looking forward to hearing about the next 20K miles. Love to see how PPF helps out over time. Heritage vehicle for your son someday.
Hearing a GT3 drive by never gets old, same with seeing them👀🥰 Definitely always has been and always will be my dream car.
First time clicking on one of JWWs vids. Massive respect for driving the crap out of this car
Legend for daily driving a MANUAL gt3. Would do the same, if possible ( and i really want those glasses 👓 )
Same, anyone know what brand and model are those sun glasses?
Chen L Thom Browne model TB808 if I’m correct mate
Alexandre LGrand mate, incredibly expensive those glasses, OMG, especially here in Brasil, about 9 THOUSAND and then some
Nope. Honda's little CTR is faster and has more room. The new RS will also be faster. All at a fraction of the price. Porsche has dropped the ball a long time ago. Except for the high HIGH end cars, it's a joke (performance wise)...
Ronan B I have never heard such drivel. It’s all about the felling mate
Lovely video. Wonderful info. Thank you very much.
Love the vids, James! Cheers! 👍
I love your channel, also because i'm honored to have the same car 991.2 GT3, same color but PDK. I don't use it every day, but i can confirme what you said. It's a fantastic supercar you can use not only for track-days but on every roads. Thank you for these kind of videos!
James by far the best car you tuber out there,love the fact you are different and don’t follow all the cringe fads like going through a drive thru also can’t wait for the bunker and all the amazing content that will follow especially with the track
Good to see someone driving their cars and putting the miles on !!!
A driven car is a happy car. Big thumbs up for Mr.JWW.
That colour 🥰 It’s like you know the cars I dream of owning. And you can actually own them! Between this and the RS6, would be the first two cars I’d buy if I had the money! Beautiful machines! Used properly! Congrats James, really living the dream man 👊
love it great car and great to see you using it so much, good coms as always ☘️
I have a 997.1 Turbo Metzga manual which I will keep for my son. Love the channel.
Yes James!!!! You’re the perfect owner for this car!
Exactly my thoughts!
Funny how you reference Chalk looking like primer - I've just had my S15 resprayed in Chalk and one person has already mistaken it for the primer before the actual colour coat. Haha
Love the video, absolutely amazing channel.... As you are doing the major service with notes that you are tracking the car, how do the suspension bushes and the motor mounts look?
About 36,000kms on my GT3 over a year and a bit. If it wasn’t for Canadian winter I’d drive it all year round. Fantastic car 🙏🏼💙
Thanks for the heads up on the inserts!
I love this car, this awesome dude and this amazing channel!
This stuff is super cool and insightful! As someone who dreams of one day owning a 991.2 GT3 it’s nice to see it’s a supercar that’s very much usable and reliable!
Errrrrm it's not a supercar my friend.
hewhoknowseverything what is it?
Adam02M a fwd hatchback obviouslx
@@matthewortega5492 it's not a super car
@@matthewortega5492 is an m5 a super car
I totally loved this thank u for being so open with costs etc I hope to join u one day in Porsche land 😍
I see that Ratino shirt James, love this car so much. I think the chalk grey is my favorite Porsche second to Miami Blue
@Jorn Navarre even if it is, it looks damn good on this car
This video is helpful to those who’ve recently bought a 991.2 gt3. Of course they’re not going to be new given the 992 being out as I write this- so the people who are now able to get the 991.2 gt3 like myself find this type of stuff very helpful to know. Thanks James!
Thanks Keith!
Love the long term nature of this video. Would love to know how you're maintaining the alcantara in your car, especially the steering wheel.
I really like your idea of hanging on to the car and passing it to your son. I have the same plan of handing down my 993 (manual Carrera 4) to my. daughter one day....hopefully!
The mk2 gt3 is the best super car for the UK. Most people will never know youve got a car that is faster than most ferraris/ lambos and just dimis it for just another porsche. The mk 2 gt3 has the best exhaust note from any car ever. My absolute dream car and best car for a one car guatage. Nice to see someone who has it set up for daily and uses it for track aswell!
Fair play on the daily driving and the miles you have covered! 👍
Drove my Mr Purple yesterday !!! Love ❤️ Love a GT3RS!!! The sounds are like no other!!!
Hey James! Can you do some watch reviews? I know you have some APs but maybe some other cool watches? Would love to see your review of them and some close up shots :))) love your content as always ❤️
What a car 🚗 and the manual trans mission. I’m 48 and have never owned an automatic . Always fun
Love your channel James, and looking forward to new and exciting content coming next!
Thanks dude
Congratulations on using this car the right way. 20k miles not bad. Hope see how the major service gos.
SAM from seenthroughglass just posted his up for sale with 33k miles.
Its so nice you drive it everyday and don't hide it away in a garage like most gt3 owners do 😃
Subscribed! Man this was great. I daily / canyon / track my Tesla Performance Model 3 and I’m currently looking at the GT3 or GT4 manual gearbox. I just need that roar, manual input and something to teach my kids how to drive a manual gearbox. Would you ever consider buying a GT4 ?
I love the track map under the bonnet idea. i'm going to do that to my Cayman
If you would have a vacuum line for the valves come of you‘d have instantly got ‚Check coolant failure‘ light.
Trust me, I’ve done about 10 981 and 991s in my time at Porsche.
Awesome for you using the car though!! Keep it up James!!
I LOVE that car. Thanks for sharing
Beating on it like it's an old Daewoo.. that's how these should be used!
New here? The R8 had it rough LOL
Always watch your GT3 content 👍! 🍻 to keeping it 4ever 👌!
Good vid... informative and honest
Good to see an over view. With costs included.
Love your new sunglasses James, are you going to have dozens of different designs or mainly just focussing on your style at the moment? Would love to check it out when you set it public!
Now THIS is a proper car review video! 👍
Great car. Seems like the Touring would have been the way to go for you. Your seat modifications tell the story for daily use. Plus that wing is in the way if you aren’t going for lap times.
Daily driving a Porsche with bucket seats and pccb, you're a legend
Loved this video!
Love the spec. and the seat lifts. Will try and source them here in North America. I installed CF ram air scoops. Would love to send you a couple pics and get you thoughts
Love the content. Keep up the excellent work. Saw GT3, clicked immediately.
Question: @ 3:48 Where to get the seat custom bracket and how to install? Any links to it?
It’s documented on Rennlist
I’m so glad you’re back and going strong with your videos James. I’m chuffed about the cancellation of Goodwood, but happy to have you keeping the automotive flame lit!
One of your best videos so far.. Love all the details and also what you said to maybe give this timeless machine to your son
What a car! Pure driving pleasure!
I’ve just purchased the exact same car , my last GT3 I used every day 😍
This is a great Porsche video" Subscribed!
Awesome update James!
Still a bit curious on fuel efficiency as you only briefly touched on this. Here in the US it's poor rated(like 15/19) by the EPA so gets a hefty "gas guzzler tax". 🙄 But as all my cars unless driven hard typically exceed these ratings 3-4 mpg I'm real curious if the GT3 does same? That is when you can resist temptation to drop your right foot into that glorious engine! 😂😂😂
Can you say what is best Hwy mpg you've seen indicated at say a steady 75 mph(more applicable here in the US) & even the 120 headed to the Ring? And an avg City mpg?
Also, any oil consumption worth noting?
Anxious for your update on what the "big service" is - thank goodness no timing belt & supposedly valves never need adjustment! Love that crayon GT3, enjoy!
Love that car James it's a keeper for sure .
Great update. Do you run the cup sport 2s all year round or P4S during winter?
Another great video. Can you name the brand of bracket you had installed to recline to seat?
what a ride! love it!
Hey James, the holes in the brake discs are mainly for cleaning the pads, noch for cooling. It has near to no effect on the cooling
YES!!....you bought the car to DRIVE IT and you are doing just that sir!
What happened to the custom MRJWW arm rest that was in the Miami blue GT3? Great videos as always
Love your sticker of the ring, and the idea behind it
Hi Mr JW. My first service after owning the car is due this summer and i was thinking the best oil to use is 5W 50. Or do you suggest i go for the 0W 40?
Hey James what brand is the seat bracket and do you have a link to the supplier?
Awesome content as always, mine too is due on track again in 24 days cannot wait 😀✌
Love the "real-world" vibe of this video 👍
I thought that I would have so many issues with the fixed buckets, as I tend to get lower back pains after a while, but I can say that the fixed buckets have been more comfortable than the 18 ways (Apart from getting in and out!) Perhaps its the additional support?
Great vid as per.... as for the solenoids and butterfly valves in the exhausts of all Porsches, known issue. If you have control over it, don't just whack it into 'Sports / Chrono' mode and drive with it on/open all the time. I did this, then one TD where I had to drive without SC on (due to noise restrictions) and one of the solenoids failed on track. Porsche wanted to sell me a new exhaust and Indys didn't want to know either. Luckily I have a handy mate and his workshop. Moral of the story, use your exhaust in both modes if you can determine the setting, this will keep up the ranges. I used to regularly spray a bit of WD40 over the parts (solenoid/arms/ball joints/pivots) to try and keep things clean. They go through a lot what with heat and their position on the car.
Porsche stated that this engine should withstand 150,000 Miles or ~241,000 Kilometers before valve replacement or complete overhaul.
Couple of questions: 1) how’s it to drive in stop and go traffic? 2) if you had touring instead of wing, wouldn’t you have less downforce for track use? I know gt3T has underbody spoiler but I’m not sure if that’s best for track use due to lack of downforce?
The new f40 amazing brilliant car congrats dude 👍👍👍
Awesome update, how are the rotors holding up? They look to be in good shape.
James, I love your sunglasses. Where did you get it from (if you don't mind)? Thanks mate!!!
I'm curious when it goes into service what the clutch life is at 🤔
are the aftermarket pads enough are would you have chosen comfort seats for daily use if you had to spec it again?
Could you just get a touring deck lid and interchange as you see fit. I love the look of both the GT3 and the Touring, but could never imagine owning two of the same car for just the sake of a wing. Just a thought . Love the content please keep it coming! cheers
Love that car , ps is that your houses grounds your on?? 😳😎😎👍🏻
Hi great video. Considering buying a gt3 as my daily. Could you do a video showing the easy of putting items in the back seats? Possibly a cooler or some luggage. Thanks
Yes a comment. We’d love to see you at COTA and have you add the sticker under the hood! Cheers from Texas, USA
Make a video showing the current garage. With all the cars together, if possible. Would be very interested in that. Keep up the awesome contet.
Much respect for driving this car daily
