It was really stupid of Porsche to not offer a manual on pre-facelift 991 GT3. Glad that they noticed that and fixed it. It's horrible when companies get lost in the numbers game and think everything should be automatic for meanigless splitsecond at cost of experience.
Benjamin Navarro to me that is paramount. if I was racing professionally, yes, get the dual clutch. but if my Porsche is a road car and occasional track car, give me the manual, my enjoyment level is far above what any dual clutch can give me. totally worth a few tenths.
maxxjett films I agree but it is actually 6 tenths which is really quite alot. a base corvette gets to 60 in 3.8 . apples and oranges i know but for the kind of money these cars go for optioned which is getting round 200k somehow that 6 tenths would niggle at me. but i am ass talking because if i could blow nearly a quarter mil on a toy im sure i wouldnt care and would probably own something else that straightline accelerated crazy like a tesla. Porsches have always been pricey but the upper end models are out of reach for most mortals
Rudy Tanelo Ruxy what would niggle at me would be the lack of driving enjoyment every time I drove it. if you are just going for straight line 0-60 then get a Dodge demon. it beats every production car to 60, no worries about misplaced fortunes with a lack of straight line speed with a demon
maxxjett films Yeah that would also niggle at me. Im just admitting that numbers get in my head and 6 10ths really is quite alot. Theoretically the dual clutch would be six cars ahead of the manual by 60. what i would like to know is what is the spread when they go 5 to 60. Are some of those 10ths the dual clutch luanch mode, geared differently? I dont care about drag racing but you can certainly feel 6 10ths. Dont matter chances are i wont have the dilemma. It just kind of stinks that autos have gotten better, even with mpgs often.
cybertec69 - LOL! Like 1% of these owners actually track their GT3's. "People who buy it buy it for that reason alone". I'm sorry but that is an absolutely hilarious comment.
cybertec69 most cars never see a track. A small amount do, but seldom. I'm sure the RS is a different story but not by much. The only Porsches that are bought exclusively for the track are the gt3 cup and the rsr.
As far as I know Ferrari has made 133 hp/liter out of their 458 Speciale, that's the highest I've seen. As far as Honda, they used to be the NA kings but they have lost their way.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big Honda fan and I always own one since 1997, but they lost their soul in lieu of demands from tree huggers. I was excited when I heard that they are going to come out with a turbo but quickly lost interest when they built it on a 1.5 L engine. I was expecting to be a 2.0L as a standard engine but they reserved that for their upgrade model. I guess its a wishful thinking.
"...new vehicles tend to be soul-less appliances.." Well, yeah. If they were all "enthusiast" vehicles like this one, then nothing would be affordable or special anymore.
That car’s gotta be so good with a stick. Who cares about the slight speed penalty. Still faster than 99% percent of things on the road. Like he said most people buy boring appliance pieces of shit. Lol
i mean a to b to c to d to heck even p or y or j ahhahahah. who seriously wrote that, they must have been drunk and about to go to sleep before this was due.
Big fan of your show, been watching my whole life. I saw the new GT3 at Press Day at the NY Auto Show, can't wait to drive one. Check out the car reviews on my channel
Robert Wolfe No it doesn't, the R is not designed for track use while the GT3 is. Additionally, the R is still the purer of the 2 without all the sound deadening and race car features. Two completely different cars.
It is a far stretch to say they are two completely different cars. The GT3 will have a manual just like the R. The R was special for about 8 months until it was announced that the GT3 would have a manual option. It is basically the same car with minute differences.
The R is a limited edition and that will always make it valuable. I think they mostly went to 918 buyers as a perk so even comparing them is irrelevant
@@richeisele7174 The 992 gen GT3 is also offered with a manual. It also comes with more hp and will ultimately perform better all around. That alone will drive prices down. If the 992 didnt have a manual you may have been right, but it is not so.
$144,000 leaves a lot left in the bank for mods like louvered front fenders and performance sports exhaust and a half roll cage in the back , just to name a few !

9enius yea true, who wants to be able to drive in the rain, wear normal clothes, drive without having fear of being crushed by every other vehicle on the road, be able to stop and not fall over, etc etc etc. Sport bikes are amazing, don't get me wrong, but comparing a bike to a car is nonsense, they perform very different functions.
I would gladly lose 0-60 time in exchange for the manual. :)
(Laughs) Exact same.
AMEN!
Ditto
PeugeotRocket agree 1000 percent

I don't think John Davis's voice has changed in 30 years
This guy just keeps going..that voice is TIMELESS
God bless Porsche for the manual
Flat4Fan : THERE IS NO GWAD. GET REAL!
ahh manual for the enthusiasts, crushed it porsche!
maxxjett films the car will be more fun to drive but it will be slower with a traditional manual

Bargain price compared to the new NSX
Two completely different cars. The GT3 is a track car and the people who buy it buy it for that reason alone.

now that this is back with 3 pedals. I just need a lotus evora, f10 m5, Aston DBS, and one of these to be complete the 3 pedal dream garage.
Porsche hit it n the mark with this car.
FINALLY, A NEW MANUAL!!! IT'S ABOUT TIME DAMN IT!
It's amazing that Porsche is getting over 125 horsepower per liter out of their engines. Come on Honda what the hell are you doing now
As far as I know Ferrari has made 133 hp/liter out of their 458 Speciale, that's the highest I've seen. As far as Honda, they used to be the NA kings but they have lost their way.

JOSEPH WIEMERT : and Porsche does it with reliability...unlike Ferrari likely
This is the 1st review that has a 6 speed manual, U guy's have some pull....Cheer's
And drops 1 line about the stick shift... that's it, nothing more!
The GT3 will always have my heart
Finally! A third pedal
Porsche is a good company unlike others,they heard people complaining!the manual is back!
You may want to consider changing your name from Carloss to Carfind. It'll do wonders for your career.
Long live the manual transmission.....
When did the lead singer of Nickleback start test driving cars?

but not as pleasing on the ear or eye
Beautiful machine

You guys ever watch the old MotorWeek videos...so COOL!!!
Who gave this video a thumbs down??? Those people must be true haters it's a badass Porsche wtf people
Not much point telling the price when most if not all of the GT3s are spoken for
Bla bla bla bla bla. Drive the car, quiet down and let us see and hear the car lap the circuit. I didn’t need a tea time session of a review.
Hopefully they will put a manual in the gt3 rs
love the gt3!
This car renders the 911 991 R irrelevant.

completely different? That is a bit of an overstatement.
Robert Wolfe is that why the price of the limited to 991 cars 911r is around 400k usd
The R is a limited edition and that will always make it valuable. I think they mostly went to 918 buyers as a perk so even comparing them is irrelevant
This is the only porsche I would shell out the coin for....
Gen 2 GT3 manual gearbox will appreciate in value .....
Nope.
@@EK-rr2md yep

Agreed - 991.2 GT3 Manual WILL go up in value without question.
@@EK-rr2md what the 992 gains in performance, it trades off much regarding looks and feel imo

In this order. GT350 TP, 350R, GT3 Those are my dream cars at the moment.
I really like porsches cars
Make mine in red!
Jim W I'll take blue!!
Well I kinda like red & my 1994 911 C4 wide body is red but if all cars were red life would be very boring.
Give me a manual or nothing. Seriously looking at getting one, yet every dealer I called they are saying they don't have a build slot.
Love MotorWeek!

Hello
What is this Zeeeee you say? Don't you mean Zed?
david dykeman British vs American. I’m an Arabian and I know this much ...
Don't really car about a car maid of "unatainium"
Love turbo but also love the purity of n/a
John Davis too og
Easy with the spray tan, John. :)
Killer comments! :))))
I love it more than the rs
is it "car-loss" or "carlos"
Wait PKD? I thought PDK
😍😍😍
I want John Davis to redo this with his voice
So Proud to say I'M THE REASON THEY BROUGHT BACK THE MANUAL GBOX! It cant be a true sports car with an automatic transmission.
ingineous -__-
Really 2 people gave this the thumbs down? Stop smoking Crack, goofballs. Great job guys, thanks
Dude get a haircut
they are moving towards turbo charge the engine.
LSV there's a reason they go N/A
This review was like a glorified commercial. Fail.
Or the car is just that good.
Once you own a sportbike, sportscars are just a joke. Theres no need to pay this much for this thrill. It doesnt even tickle the new 200hp liter bikes
