991 GT3RS - only because I have one and it's a keeper - just gotta learn how to drive it to it's max potential - don't need a 992 - BTW, mega commentary - its hard not to repeat all that has been said about the previous generations in describing the 992
This is probably the best video on the 992 GT3 all day. Very insightful with all the nuances that we usually get from a Chris Harris video. Excellent work.
James, I think this might be the best video you've ever done so far on youtube. The way you described the car's dynamic capability really looks like you've been working in this industry for decades! I'm a bit ashamed to be only one year younger than you (I'm born in 1995), and see how people like you have resulted in the roles of their respected industry. Well done because admittedly as a guy who has the same first name as you, I am very jealous.
I was dead serious watching this vid until about the end when James asked "which part of my body I would sell"...😂😂😂, hilarious and at the same time so informative.. Great video review, you've got an instant thumbs up 👍🏼 from me...
Can't believe I have to watch so much video reviews until I hear one about the Cup 2 R contributing a vast part of its ring laptime, this detail alone pushes this review up to top level stuff
Excellent review! In fact, best GT3 review out there. With regards to Nurburgring times I must admit I find such automotive “bragging rights” to be utterly meaningless to the “real” world of driving. Even if a sub-population of GT3 drivers go to the track often the overall cumulative miles for all GT3’s on the track is a very small percentage; therefore, the enjoyment on the roads is still the key metric for sports cars like these. The Nurburgring time was generated on very special tires, with aero at maximum attack, and by an extremely talented professional racecar driver who was intimately experienced with that exact car, that exact setup, on that exact track before logging the official time attempt. On the road with normal, but experienced, drivers I would be willing to wager there is exactly zero difference in driving pleasure and competence between the 991.2 GT3 and the 992 GT3...exactly zero.

@@lq1129 With slick tyres? With the interior fully gutted so that its horrible and impractical to live with on public roads unlike this GT3? $6k because the Civic has torsional rigidity of a potato chip, sound like crap from its torqueless engine from a lawnmower and has aerodynamics of a bus in comparison. Yeah dream big you dumb little Honda fanboy 😂Show me a video of your car and lets see how 'smart' you are. I'll wait.
Really funny to see all these pretty spoiled reviewers (no offence) going all giddy while driving this car. McLarens and Ferraris may be more desirable but probably less enjoyable
Which is your favourite 911 GT3? Let us know!
This one

Thanks very much! Great choice of car 👌
My 991.2 gt3, best 911 I’ve ever owned. I use for mixture of road and track, the 992 sounds a bit more track focused great engineering though
The 997.2
You're killing it James, you are going to make a name for yourself in this industry.
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks very much :)
If this GT3 is already this insane looking, I can't imagine how the GT3RS will be...
Our thoughts exactly...
This is probably the best video on the 992 GT3 all day. Very insightful with all the nuances that we usually get from a Chris Harris video. Excellent work.
Thanks very much - glad you enjoyed :)

Thanks very much for the kind words, James. Glad you enjoyed :)
Best review on a GT3 Product I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait until I can get my hands on one of these.
Thanks Mark!
James this was excellent...I've watched them all, great job! I've subscribed, seems I have some video catch up to do!
Thanks very much - glad you enjoyed :)
Fantastic review, best one yet. But you left yourself wide open with your final comment!
Hahaha - thank you!

Tyres make a huge difference!
Loved it! Fantastic review. "Which part of my body can I sell!" Spot-On.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks ☺️
As a previous comment said, the best review, excepting perhaps Messrs Catchpole and Harris who both did commendable reviews.
This kid is going places in the automotive journalism space.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great review, so much emotion ! Thoroughly enjoyed it☺️
Thank you!
Great review! New/younger guy slayed it. Well done mate.
Cheers Ben! More reviews coming 👍👍
So awesome exhaust sound.
991.2 GT3 RS Manthey-Racing car lapped Nurburgring @ 6:49 in April of 2021 on Cup 2 R tires.
great car and and great review!
Well tires are likely responsible for MOST of the time difference - Cup 2 N1 vs. Cup 2 R
But not with PDK, I'd take a Manual for FTD and control for when I ewant to shift or not and downshift too on roads and curves...
you appear to have similar athletic build as me,,, are the bucket seats too big for you? thanks
They were a nice size, but could be a little more support through corners. But pretty good considering they have to fit a wide range of body shapes.
@@CARmagazineTV Hey thanks for taking the time to let me know. great review. Getting mine this october.
Best review yet. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks Ian!

Fantastic, fantastic review. Ace👌.
Thanks very much!
Did the previous GT3 have ITB's?
Nope, only the 991.2 911 Speedster had ITB.
@@lordmaster5522 Thx
Excellent, excellent review.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed 👍👍
Nice review!
Thanks!
Best review of this car so far.
Thanks very much Ricardo!
Superb car and car reviewer.
Thanks Eddie!
Outstanding!
Great automobile, wish i had one.
Damn, this presenter is good.
Glad you enjoyed 👌
probably the 991.2
You can sell your left leg. Not needed in GT3 PDK !!!!
😂
Try buying one... even if you have the money you can't. Unless you give an extra 50k over msrp to the dealer. Good Job Porrsche
Just did, left a hole in my heart and have to let go my 991.2 tts, but oh well
I can't wait
Want!
👍
U said its 1345kg when the car is 1445kg
if youve got a headache..........
its not going to help
I bet a civic HB K24 n/a can beat it.
Is it a turn-key car that can be picked up from a Honda dealership with a 2 year warranty? No. So stfu
@@smilepermile8165 it's still trash for $200k
Only takes $6k with no warranty necessary to beat it! Lol stfu and give your money to porsche cause you wanna be dumb rich.

Yeah, but who wants a Civic, unless you are short on cash.

And less reliable.
Not sure on the looks.
Turbo S is better
