- This is the third video of my ownership video series!
It's been exactly one year since I picked up my GT3 from Giltrap Porsche last March. It's such an incredible sportscar both on the race track as well on backroads. Join me in this video where I share with you my ownership experiences, and some of the things I like and dislike about my Porsche 911 GT3 (992.1).

Don't worry about oil level being too low leading to oil starvation as there is a warning indicator which comes on to tell you to add oil. That issue has been addressed on day one as all 911s comes with dry sump lubrication engines that prevents oil starvation since the separate oil tank reservoir holds the oil (at least 9 qts of 13 qts for entire system). In fact the measurement is done with the car on level ground with engine idling and it is warned not to overfill as that could lead to engine damage !
Yup, correct, I am just saying that the owners need to be mindful of this, and always be aware of the warning light on the dash. In fact, I just had the low level oil light pop up last week, and I added 500ml of engine oil.
Great Review! Thank you.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it, you have a GT3 also?
Yeah received my July23 build Touring from Giltrap in Nov23; LOVE IT@@sundaymorningdrives
I watched when you picked up your car and can't believe it's already been a year. Seems like just yesterday!
Hahaha, really? Thanks for the support! Yes, time flies, I can't believe I have already done over 7000km in it either
Great video. New to the channel thanks for taking the time to do this review.
Thanks man, appreciate your support! What do you think about the GT3?
@@sundaymorningdrives You did a great job specking it out. gt3 is the ultimate drivers car. First time I see the bucket seat and I must say I was impressed. Actually looked comfortable and love the fact you can adjust the height. Enjoy it
@96spectyper Thanks mate, yes the buckets really hold you in place, and they are decent in terms of comfort. 10/10 for the looks though, haha 😄
@@sundaymorningdrives 😂small sacrifice for looks 😂. They do look amazing. I was actually debating on getting the spoon buckets for my car but I do like to drive it quite a bit. Is it worth it?
@96spectyper if it's just for road driving probably a bit much, but if you track it than definitely worth it
Enjoyed watching. Great effort here.
Thank you, glad you liked it, what do you think of the GT3?
not sure if porsche will do this but for helper spring noise you can add bearings between the springs to avoid binding on the helper spring.
there are also teflon “washers” that can be used instead of the bearings. they perform the same job of limiting binding between the springs.
not an uncommon part to use on high performance dampers.
Oh I see, I might pass this information to the dealership, they are working on it to try to resolve this issue. Have you had similar issues with yours?
Great detail
Thanks, hope you enjoyed watching it. What do you think of the GT3?
I think it is an engineering marvel, but I feel at legal speeds it maybe a bit dull.
@andygtv yes, you are correct, it's difficult to push it hard on the road, that's why I track it. Pushing to 9k rpm on normal roads are just too much 😃
Great review! My experience has been the same!
Nice, good to know people with these type of cars have similar experiences. Does yours have a cage?
No I’m in the US so no cage. Did have a knocking sound on drivers side quarter panel but just disappeared after putting miles on.
@@Remanche1 ah I see, yours is a 992 as well?
Yes sir. Great last 12 months: with 9000 rpm not using the BOSE either:)
@Remanche1 good choice! The Bose sound system is useless, waste of money, haha. Is your specs similar to mine?
Good advice and info.
Haha, you are getting yours soon
my sales are next to useless. No news at all and I think extremely timid at replying to my queries. Hahahah.@@sundaymorningdrives
@@kimyee2010 no idea when?
nope, meanwhile will be looking at other alternatives while waiting I guess.@@sundaymorningdrives
@@kimyee2010 GT3 Touring haha
What do you do outside of UA-cam to afford all of these performance cars at the same time?
Cool video, agree with the doorhandles. For me the ultimate driving machine for road and track especially. No big fan of all the multimedia in modern cars so I preferred the previous gen. until I got to see all aspects of the 992 🏁💯👍
I see you have a 992 GT3 also?
Yes and extremely happy with it
@@AlexanderZimmerli-ts8bw nice! Do you track yours? Or mostly backroads?
Mostly backroads but also tracks. Attended the Porsche Track Experience entry levels in Leipzig did Dijon and look forward to Spa franchorchamps. I need also to get familiar with the Track Precision App 😊
@@AlexanderZimmerli-ts8bw wow, very nice, sounds exciting! Have fun and enjoy your GT3😃
I fitted a bracket to the fixed bucket to recline it slightly. Much nicer, particularly when wearing a helmet, as head not pushed forward so much.
Oh nice, is that a pretty common part to buy and install?
@@sundaymorningdrives yes, replied previously with link, but looks like it was deleted. Just search for Carbon bucket seat brackets and you will find them. I went for ones that just lift the front, as easy to fit.
@@sundaymorningdrives yes, search Porsche carbon seat bracket
@@markgtrheyes ok nice, thank you
Mine came with a JCR exhaust then the valve button does something, i daily & track mine and love listening to music...i wish there was an even higher spec audio system
That's good to know, is the JCR exhaust much louder than stock with valves open? I commend your bravary in dailying your GT3, haha
@sundaymorningdrives yes its extremely loud inside and out when on it, i call it the Jekyll & Hyde button
@@adjrasta9365 hahaha, sounds like an exciting mod, I might look into it. How often do you track yours?
Great video.
You can get a riser for the seats. It’s an easy install. I have a video on my channel how to do it.
Oh nice, I will go check it out! How are you liking/using your car?
@@sundaymorningdrives in my GT3 I got the 18-way seats and I love them. I had the buckets in the GT4 and let’s just say it didn’t get driven as much.
I love the GT3. I do wish it launched a bit more like the Turbo s, but it’s way more fun to drive.
@@AverageCarGuy Do you take them to the track? The GT3 is not really a straight line car, I have never launched mine, I don't really see the point haha
@@sundaymorningdrives I do, but I nearly daily mine. I don’t launch often, but when I do it’s leaves a lot of the table.
@AverageCarGuy hahaha, ok, good to know you drive it a lot, you don't find it too harsh to drive everyday? I applaud your bravery 😄
What do you do for a living mate?
Drive cars 🤣
I've had mine a year now and agree with many of your points. 15k km daily driving. I'm on 18 way seats and wish they had memory position. The space between the door and seat is a bit narrow to fiddle every time so I'm not scuffing the leather.
My minor gripe other than the lack of memory seats is the fact it throws a lot of stones at itself. Ppf is a must. Service isn't bad, but tires are at times hard to come by and can be expensive as they are n0 spec. One nail or plug can ruin your day.
It's been reliable in heat and
The 18 way seats must be very comfortable for daily driving? I definitely can't daily my GT3 in the buckets. I applaud you for dailying this car. I have a set of brand new spare tires stores at home, bought them during a discount, I would suggest you do the same if you have storage space.
Hey come do some Sunday drives down here in the Deep South!
Haha, where is that? 😆
@@sundaymorningdrives in to QT from the north from Wanaka, and into QT south from Invercargill. Clarkson apparently approves!
@@ShanePleasance sounds like amazing drives! Hope I get a chance to do that someday 😄, do you drive those routes often?
@@sundaymorningdrives for sure. Devils staircase into Queenstown all the time, Crown Range through to Wanaka whenever I can. 89 ex-track Miata and Stage 1 S7.
@@ShanePleasance wow, very nice! The MX-5 would be perfect for those windy roads! 😍
Door handles and steering wheel buttons are a let down.
Yes, the door handles are super annoying, the buttons I can live with, haha
How did you convince your wife that you were going to buy the car?
She didn't care 😆
@@sundaymorningdrivesLucky you. Has she always been like that?
@@christmasisawesome9348 yup, pretty much 😆, your other half don't allow you?
@@sundaymorningdrives I see. Mine demand that she gets some of my income excluding budget I have to set aside for food and fuel. She is well off by herself and she already makes way more than I do.
I'd imagine that if I want to buy another 911, I'd have to get her a car or some expensive Hermes bag as well.
How did I get to this point....
@christmasisawesome9348 hahaha, thanks for sharing your personal experience with me, definitely not a situation I want to be in 😆
Great video, I've been looking forward to this one!
A very honest appraisal, (very minor) warts and all. I bet that zing/rattle drives you mad but I think it's pretty cool! Only a car with helper springs and rollcage is going to do that!!! Haha! That must make that the coolest rattle ever ;)
Just looking at how good this car looks, knowing how amazing it sounds and believing what I've read about it's handling, this is about as good as it gets. Make sure those niggles don't degrade the joy of owning this car. I don't even like black cars abut this one....
Haha, thanks Sam! Hopefully the dealership will be able to sort out that rattle, but seems like it's a common issue with helper springs. It is truly an amazing car, don't want to get out of it once you get in, just want to keep driving no matter whether you are just cruising or pushing it hard. When are you coming up for a drive?
@@sundaymorningdriveshmm Not sure bud, no plans currently but will let you know if/when!
