      It "never runs out" because it takes 6000 rpm to get to the torque peak. You could probably produce exactly the same feel in a Supercharged S2000, except it'd be faster, and have double wishbones at BOTH ends of the car.

Matt is great, but on the ride feedback I'd go with the West Country Monkey's opinion)

    What a machine! GT3 is definitely not a daily driver and I'm happy Porsche made it more raw. If you want fast commuter car - get Turbo S or even regular 911S. The sound alone is worth picking this over Turbo every time.

    LOL. Loved the explanation of the advantages of double wishbone suspension geometry around 8:20. Maybe that's why Mazda had it on the Miata in 1989 ... on *all four corners*. I used to own a first generation Boxster S, and I liked it a lot, but the Porsche "mystique" is pretty hilarious.

    1:18 Incorrect. It's being released as a 2022 model. I know, because my dealer gave me a slot and I already handed him my build and my deposit. It's also on the website.
    4:28 and 12:02 Incorrect again. With so many subscribers relying on you, we expect you to do your homework. 6 min 59s is with the new track configuration. That would be 2s slower than the 918 (not 8s) IF it was apples to apples...which it is NOT. The 992 GT3 is actually 2s faster than the 918 because, on the same track config, it did 6 min 55s vs. the 918's 6 min 57s. It's also one second faster than the 991.2 GT3 RS, which did 6 min 56s.

    This new 992 GT3 wing definitelyy grew on me. Sweet lookin car! Great decisions made when producing this car. Especially glad we don't have to sit around hoping they make a manual trans and it's already available! 😍 I think I prefer the more simple 991 GT3 front hood than this one here. However it's still cool they went for it when designing this car, with all the interesting changes. 🙂

    Its actually faster than the 918, they were measured on to different track length standards! Gt3 drove the whole lap and the 918 whole track minus a short stretch on which the nordschleife exits to the Grand prix course and the other way around. So if you subtract the stretch the from the gt3’s lap, it's actually faster

  • @pabauza
    @pabauza 3 роки тому +1

    6:59 at the ring. What have fast cars come to? Not a car to enjoy on the road. You need a track to enjoy it. A torque filled motor is better on road. Something you can enjoy without sky-high revs and speed. I never thought I’d say that but it’s my honest opinion.

  • @elliotpaquin224

    The stiffer suspension could be to support the increased down force compared to the last gen. Usually, you need to have higher spring rate when you increase down force to support the higher loads on the suspension.
