- A cold and wet December day is not ideal to take the 196mph Porsche 911 991.1 GT3 out for a test drive. what's it like to drive and did we make it back without having an accident?
Love your videos Henry great to hang out with and listen to someone who knows their way around these cars and very informative to boot! All the Best 2024 keep up the great work cheers
Thanks for the kind words and taking the time to post.
Totally agree, great info as per👍This channel certainly deserves far more sub's than it has already. Maybe this will help.. A buddy just sent me this old YT video. I wont insert a link, so just type it in. Enjoy!! lol
"BMW E39 5 Series Airbag Light Reset" .... Guess who, and no, he ain't an American😉
God!! I'm glad I went with Anthracite Brown Metallic on my GT3 touring which is about to be built!! such a rare colour, and soooo much nicer in the flesh. Great informative vid as always!
Thanks for that. You will be delighted when it arrives, a very satisfying colour.
Nice accurate balanced review -similar to the 991.1 GT3 spec I had with 18 way seats and I found good mix of road and 3 or so track days a year
One of the most iconic 9IIs of all time. I think non club sport, comfort seats and manual for me. So hard to find that in a tasteful
spec.
This is a lovely car with a fantastic options list. We were thrilled to take it in !
Great review and beautiful example. I learnt the hard way that the buckets are definitely not for me in a 718 GT4. The best looking seats ever but I was quite seriously crippled in them and found the lack of compliance jarring. Thanks for this and I’m looking to forwards to watching the 991.2 review 🎉
Thanks for the kind words and I hope your back has recovered !
@@911virgin8 it has and I now have a 991.2 GT3 with sofas and PDK which incidentally rides as well as the 991 T it replaced. Amazing compliance and far from the bone shaker the internet would lead you to believe. Wonderful machines!
Glad to hear that. I guess the "bone shaking" is all relative. For someone who likes old Jaguars or maybe Rang Rovers all Porsches are seen as bone shakers.@@WFOSA67
Great spec’d car 👍🏼
This particular model the 911.1 gt3 had finger follower issues after the engine fire issue. This is the reason why porsche granted the car a 10 year warranty which is not mentioned in the video. Porsche made many new engines models under this warranty but the finger follower issue kept coming back. Users on the rennlist forum, which is where the issue have also been documented by many owners of the car, discussed a design flaw with the hydraulic lifter system of the car. This is why for the 991.2 gt3, porsche switched to solid lifters to avoid another finger follower issue and warranty extension, as well as a lawsuit.
There has certainly been plenty of discussion surrounding the engines. It's actually the longest guarantee ever issued on a car engine I believe and owners can maintain a warranty beyond the 10 year point using the Porsche warranty scheme. My understanding is that a lot of problems stem from engines regularly going into the very upper limits of the rev range. This particular car benefited from an engine replaced under warranty with the later generation of replacements.
Keep the videos coming
Beautiful example, well presented by Henry. Not an aggressive driver but can appreciate how it might light up a dull December day.
As you say, not the iseal weather / day. Also this is going to be someone's car when we sell it so I'm respecting that fact. We would never want the new owner to be unhappy with how we've driven it.

Sorry, I meant that I’m not an aggressive driver. Fully understand why Henry might go gently into the December grey and agree that the next owner will appreciate the care and attention lavished by all at 911.
🙂 No worries. Smooth is fast. @@stevensarson482
awesome vid, great to see you not just blast it around. definitely a goal for me to get a GT3
They are brilliant cars !
Lovely spec car, colour, brakes, seats, belts. Nicely under the radar but hugely capable. Take my money for that any day of the week.
It is indeed a very well optioned car. Not sure I'd call it under the radar though. The spoiler on the back and the GT3 badge give things away a little 🙂
My dream car!!! But still, i will choose Porsche Gt RS2
Nice work Mr. Henry
Thank you Mr Steven 🙂
"More than capable of keeping up with the normal flow of traffic..." Lolz!
I didn't want to boast.... 🙂
I did chuckle when Henry said that. What he really meant was more than capable of blasting most cars off the road🤣
Is that pts or a wrap? Extremely rare if it’s pts on a 991 gt3
No, it's factory paint. We tend not to sell wrapped cars because we have no idea what's underneath the vinyl
@@911virgin8 Must be rare then, you see a lots of 992 pts but hardly any 991.
