@@pokest225 It is, but I recall a cool video showing a BTCC car's lap time at Silverstone compared to the McLaren P1 when it first debuted. The front wheel drive BTCC car had a quicker lap, despite having less than half the horsepower. Just saying tires play a big role.
@@ALMX5DP of course. But then you are comparing a street car against a full racing car. The modern street supercars don't wear Hossiers, obviously, but most of them if not all wear very sticky semi slick tyres. Michelin cup or cup R, Pirelli trofeo R... Not your average daily street tire 👍. Without these tires, the laptimes would be very different too.
@@pokest225 yeah, i just think there is a fine line between "extensive mods" and "full racing car" in terms of things that help reduce a lap time. I'd love to see what a P1, 918, Senna, Performante do on slicks or proper soft racing tires.
You're not wrong, but as with most things there needs to be a mass market to really establish a trend. As new petrol cars wind down, maybe there's a chance here? (trying to be optimistic!)
@@EGMedia1 I don't think they're trying to establish a trend. As much as I want a car like these, I'd rather work my ass off and eventually know I have something that most people can't even dream about.
There's space for both! See the McLaren F1 and MP4-12C for example. We could have Singer on the one hand, and tarted up 996s on the other - a package that could be inspired on many motoring journalists' projects already...
You're completely right of course, but there are two things here. One, new cars have to meet far stricter parameters than older ones. Two, the market for new cars is increasingly different to the one for 'enthusiasts'. Different ball, different goal posts. Different game, I'm just hoping we can all play.
Cost of Remastered 993 vs Lotus 430 vs useability day to day, these cars are works of art or better yet trailer queens used for cars and coffee, i wouldn't mind owning one though
Or a 911 Turbo S, 1:33:2 by Randy. Probably cheaper than both; and a great daily driver in the words of both Randy, Chris Harris, and several other prominent auto journalists. I will take the Turbo S.
@@Sethiol73 Or a GT3 Touring for that sweet NA 4.0 engine. In the Top Gear video for the 992 GT3, Andreas Preninger said the GT3 Touring is made to be driven often.
Just had The National Trust on the phone, they asked if they could have their picnic tables back as the weather is looking good and they are expecting a lot of visitors over the upcoming bank holiday.
Randy Pobst probably has more laps than anyone at Laguna Seca. Just about every production car lap record set over the last 20 years has been set by Randy. He currently has the lap record for a production car of 1:27:62 set in 2019 driving a McLaren Senna.
don't know what to make of it; maybe it's best for the car to snap on a set of Cup 2 as to make the lap time (performance) more relevant. After all this is a car for the street, right?
I dunno. I admire the car having a manual and a roaring flat 6. But on the road it looks too "look at me". On the track, it's not faster than a much cheaper and track focused gt3rs or gt2rs. The GT3 touring would be my pick.
I love the 991 gt3 but a 993 with 430 bhp that's 400 lbs. lighter resting on that short wheelbase screams flog me more than anything I can think of barring a c6 z06 or an F12....
So at a cost of more than half a million then, it's still slower around Laguna Seca than a stock Performnate, 720S and a GT2 RS? Damn, I guess you really must want one then.
Its not about it being faster than newer cars, its about an older car that can still compete. Current Porsche makes, that are 100k daily drivers, are almost as fast and 1/5 the price. Its not the point of the video. But everyone has to be an ass, right?
@@Sethiol73 Well if you choose to be an ass, that's your prerogative I guess. As for your opening line: is that your own deduction, or GW's own credo? I have to ask, as I can't see it anywhere on their website. As for the rest of your post - I have no idea what it is your saying. Maybe proofread before posting in future? Take care now.
@@GarryMcGovern I think that went over your head, just to be clear he was talking about you not himself. And his opening statement seems to mimic GW's statement that "The aim was simple, take the qualities and performance levels of today’s mighty RS models, and apply them to the air-cooled 993."
The car also needs a mask at this rate. Why don't you guys put on paper bags over you're heads? Then maybe we can all go and actually watch racing in person again. 😆

To be fair though this 993 did appear to be wearing Hoosiers, which none of the other cars had.
Very old car, with extensive mods, doing laptimes similar to current supercars. Amazing. 👏

Randy just so relaxed when he's on it
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
Of course, someone else is paying damage bills😜. It’s one reason he has this job also. He’s a cool guy
It's an amazing car, masterpiece of a Porsche rebuilt to a vision, but note that the car was on Hoosiers. Still, wonderful car
Simple, composed, deceivingly fast and beautiful all at once
Randy "The Daddy" Pobst
Randy is awesome. A great driver, great sportsman, and an incredibly nice guy to chat with.
@@apancher just I was thinking as I watched
@@popsbubbles1242 I'm lucky enough to have met him a couple times. He's like the cool racecar driver uncle we all wish we had.
@Ouchwitz Bed and Breakfast you sound jealous, lol.
@Ouchwitz Bed and Breakfast definitely a goof in a good way, but a hack? Show your work.
Thank you for posting this video ! I have goose bumps all over !
Now let's make them more affordable. If we get volume behind some of the restomodders, that really could be something.
That's the whole point chief.
Low volume high quality.
Cut the middle class out

Porsche and Laguna Seca just mix. I saw the 919 evo go around the track and it was incredible.
"I think we're gonna need a bigga wing" ! WOW
That was seriously cool. What a sweet machine, would love one!
Nicely done randy. That run was smooth and......smooth is fast. Guntherworks also builds a bad ass car and that helps too.
Cue the Need for Speed Heat players going wild over it being on par with the P1. XD
Considering that a 991.2 GT3 runs 1:34 around this track, that makes this very impressive!
Is that true !!??

Wow, these pro drivers make it look SO easy! Well done!
Epic traction at the apex and out of those 90degree corners. I want one.

Randy Post is the man to call when you need to break a lap record at Laguna Seca.
Love the engine noise
Did not expect it to be that fast
Car of the Year..no question about it..although I think canary yellow or miami blue when I think 993
This was my favorite course in Gran Turismo because you could jump the corkscrew and fly over the AI if you were behind. Easy win!
Ditto 👍
Which gran turismo ?
2:18 2G wow

Kindly aided by the cambered corner
AutoCar now runs infomercials!!! 👏
I'm completely okay with that as long as they're all as cool as this video is.
Randy loves his Porsches...
On a track where they shine instead of in a garage. But to be fair I could stare at it all day.
What is the time in reference to? Given this Gunther Werks 993 had A7's, was there a target they were shooting for?
Amazing beautiful car this is ere . One day i would like to have one made
That looks like Pobst!
WHAT A SYMPHONY !!!
993 TIMELESS CLASSIC
Holy moly thats fast for a older style body car
Not really...
@@zoidburg2975 mclaren p1 1:30.7, this modded 993 does almost the same. Not fast? It's VERY fast for what it is. Honestly. 👍
@@pokest225 Yeah and P1 is slow.
@@pokest225 Sure, but this 993 also had incredibly sticky rubber underneath it.
@@zoidburg2975 wrong

Randy could break lap records in a shopping cart with a bad wheel.
Handy Randy 🔥👌

RWB who? Gunther Werks all the way!
Love that wing 😍👌
Damn, over 2G coming out of the corkscrew!
congrats on a superfast laptime. What was the price of the car?
Hey, there's my car at 2:53!
I wonder how that compares with a stock and super rare 993 GT2?
love these things!
That's faster than an ACR...whoa buddy
Wasn't able to catch-up with the car ahead of him.?
It’s been too many years since I turned a lap there. I need to make a NASA event there in 2021.
My dream car

Looks just like Gran Turismo almost as realistic
Love that little RWB like flair going on
Your "RWB like flair" is the look of the original 993-based Porsche race cars of the 90s that RWB is designed after.
Bomb
Oi! Stay on the track!
The other side of the green is a 'no lap'.
What does it run on a Cup 2?
Was this on slicks?
2g+ in the corners....c-r-a-z-y!
What tires are on the car?

The wing is horrendous lol
I mean it looks to be a near identical design to an original 993 RSR/cup car wing.

Plaid be like, "hold my beer"
This has a manual gearbox I mean the gt2 rs still smashes the plaid on every track anyways with 500 less hp so your point?

It’s got slicks on and a ludicrous rear wing. Not even close to being relevant
