- I drive the 2016 Porsche 991 GT3 RS! I take you through the driving experience and compare it to the standard 991 GT3 as well as my own Cayman GT4.
I did this video to help spread the word about my good friend and fellow Porsche lover Manoj Raval's charity. Manoj is raising money for colorectal cancer care at St. Paul's hospital using his GT3RS at the 2016 Diamond Rally.
You can find out more about the Faith Hope Love charity at the link below and please consider making a donation and spread the word.

The Faith Hope Love GT3RS will be available for public viewing at the 2016 Diamond Rally kickoff event on May 14th at Brian Jessel BMW. www.diamondrally.com - Авто та транспорт
i can see the influence of Xcar/carfection in your intro, one of the best test drives ever keep up the good work. you deserve way more than fucking motortrend
+Manco Kwan Thanks so much, Manco!
The audio mixture of the external sounds with the internal commentary is the best blend I have heard to date. It clearly demonstrated the quickness of the gearshifts better than I have heard on other videos.
I also enjoyed you skill in talking while driving. It is hard to concentrate on both, and you make itvseem effortless.
KUDOS!
At 4:49 the guy diving the minivan is uber jealous! Great review!
+ThePsychodo Haha! Glad you noticed. Thought it was funny when I reviewed the footage.
Great videos man. Lots of information and pleasant to listen to you. Way better than some of the bs reviews out there on UA-cam. You deserve way more subs! If one day your channel has thousands of subs, just remember I was here first!
+Ashkan Saheb Thanks for your support! Just your viewership and comment is enough to make it worthwhile. Thanks again.
Man I enjoyed watching you drive the car. Imagine the sensation actually driving this beast.
Yes! I'm happy the sensations came across as relatable. It really was a sensory overload experience.
How does this channel not have 1mil subs?! Impressive reviews as always
+Elger Montesclaros Thank you Elger!
Dude love your reviews! keep up the great works!
+raikkonen2013 Much appreciated. Thank you!
Awesome review! I've yet to have the pleasure of driving a Porsche, but I "get it" thanks to your eloquent analysis, comparisons and reviews. The allure of the ultimate 911 vs. the driveability of the virtually as-capable Cayman come to life in your comparisons. Keep up the great work!
+ShakingTwoTrees2012 Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! Really glad I'm making these reviews relatable. Thanks again. :)
Exhaust sound was beyond perfect, thank you
+Pito Licker Thank you! I'm glad you appreciated it.
Really like your review, simplicity, calm. And it's like that we are with you in the car (almost :P).
I'm in the process to buy my new car, and I continue to hesitate between an 911 (997 phase 1) and a Cayman 987 (I really love the 981 but the price is just a little bit high for me actually in Switzerland).
I can't explain why, but your review help to find more calm in my "searching" process :D.
+FunkyBear Hey Funkbear, thanks for your detailed comment. I'm really glad you find my reviews useful. I think both the 997.1 and the 987 are great cars. They have the better hydraulic steering that has become extinct and have lots of mechanical feel. You'll enjoy whichever one you get. Have fun in yours search!
+driveopolis I have test two different Cayman 987. Cayman and Cayman S, and I can't explain why, but I don't feel in harmony with this car. It's saaaaad. Thanks a lot for your response :)
Great review as always !
+mauizy n Thank you Mauizy! Nice sound on your 135i! So mean.
Great cause and Great conversational review with detailed comparisons of the cars from somebody that actually knows. The cocoon feeling of a cayman did catch me by surprised when i went from a 997s to 987.2S - like you said different flavors but i do like the openness of a 911
+Damon Spencer Thank you Damon! Enjoyed your 911 Cup Holder video by the way. You cracked me up!
Lots of info and real engine sound. thx
+Robert Blake Thank you Robert. Glad you enjoyed this review!
Oh my GOD!!! Thank you so much for this review;)
+Andrea Guiducci Andrea! Thank you so much for your comment. Glad you enjoyed the review.
Superb review. The passion comes out clearly
+Sameer Rao Thank you Sameer!
Just discovered this awesome channel. Nice review. I'm very curious what back road that was?
+Jordan C Hi Jordan! Have you checked out the following site? I usually use this. members.shaw.ca/bjs1/interesting_roads_main.htm
Another brilliant review.
Thank you!
Great work, really like your videos .. Regards from south of mexico !
+armando quiroz gutierrez Thank you Armando! Appreciate it.
Nice approach to a detailed review, very professional.
+Jimmy H Thank you! I just watched your chasing the 458 video. It is awesome.
Another great video~ Keep up the good work!
+erikvive Thank you erik!
Excellent review +driveopolis, very well produced. I've been looking for a group of car enthusiasts who drive for charity, I would love to join next time!
Thank you! For sure.
You're living a life of dreams!
Nice video!
Keep up the good work!
+pitaracer Thanks buddy! It's hard work but somebody's gotta do it. :)
Another 10/10 review! Congrats!
+sabajin Thanks a lot Sabajin!
Another great review on another simply amazing car by Porsche. What a scenery and well done Driveopolis, I'm becoming a fan😎. I miss my Vancouver home.
+Mad Monk Thank you for the kind words! Much appreciated Mad Monk.
Oh damn, that car parks in my building. Nicest car in the parking lot by far.
I like your review. The exhaust note is much more savage than GT3. Really looking forward to seeing a review of 991 R !
+Samuel Ding Thanks Samuel! Might be difficult to find someone with a 911R but I would jump at the chance to review one!
AWESOME!
+Ashley Lemmer Thank you Ashley!
Awesome review, great job, rock on brother!
Thank you very much Michael. I really appreciate it.
Great review, just found your channel, subbed. But no manual available for the RS
+Gabe Clendenning Hi Gabe. Thanks for checking in! Yeah, I agree. A manual in the RS would be just delightful. It would be the perfect car.
driveopolis indeed, the new 911 R is coming out soon, RS engine with a manual. But one other question, what industry do you work in, im in finance myself
This is a great video review
Thank you Alex, much appreciated! Awesome Subaru STI you got there.
Great review and comparison to your GT4.
+Andrew M Andrew, thank you!
Wow... How did the owner set up that front plate. Could you post some info, I would love to do the same.
+goons123flofy Are you local? Send me a direct message and I'll get the info to you.
Outstanding job on the review!
I've owned both a GT3 and GT2....7 Porsches in all. I agree with your eval on the secondary market, on these "limited" cars. I've seen low mileage, slightly used GT3RS's going for as much as $460k (U.S.) and that's just ridicules.
These cars (new) are becoming priced way too high, for the average Porsche buyer. At $200k+ (when ordered new from the dealer), Porsche is driving their loyal customers to other brands (Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren)....for about the same money as these "marked up" ....."limited" cars.
+therealoldspiceguy Thanks for enjoying my review! And interesting to read your comments about the market, especially from a long time Porsche owner. They've become more for collectors now than drivers and that's a shame, isn't it?

What type of cameras and editing software do you use?
+Driven Vancouver Hey Alex! A mixture of 5Ds and GoPro Hero 4 Blacks. Edited on Premiere.
How would you say the GT3RS compares to the GT4?
I owned a GT4 and loved it on the road - put 20,000km on it over 18 months as a daily driver.
Is the RS that much firmer or uncomfortable?
I live in Dubai where the roads are pretty decent, and the GT4 never felt overly hard or unbearable at all.
I'd appreciate your thoughts as I may look to get into one in over the coming few months - currently in a 570s
Hey there! If you did 20k kms over 18 months in a GT4, the GT3RS is equally comfortable and you will have no problem using it as a daily. The only real advantage of a GT4 as a daily is the two trunks.. the back area of the GT3/RS is not very accessible when you have the carbon buckets. If you have the regular sport seats then they fold down and you can use the rear area. The 570S is a sweet car! Congrats!
Nice decal on the RS. waiting for my GT4 still :P
+Chinaman Champ Nice, what are your options? When do you take delivery?
Guard reds with carbon interior and the 918 seats. red air vents.
it's a shame the audio was so distorted, it kinda ruined that wonderful gt3rs sound.
+natebot321 I had it as low of an input level as I could get it. Will find a better placement next time.
Damn, that really goes to show just how loud this thing is. I bet there are microphone dampers that are sold out there for this purpose.
Awesome review. Quite the car! Glad this owner is actually letting miles be put on it.
+JakeXSV Yeah, a lot of these beasts are just sitting in garages. Good thing Manoj's isn't. He's a real driver himself so he will be putting this RS to good use.
Great review! Wonderfull video and most importantly audio. The seatbelt buckle looks crazy high on your stomach though, is there no crotch straps to pull the lap belt down around your hips?
+goons123flofy Great eye you've got. The short answer is that I did it wrong. Will correct next time I'm in a harness. Great catch!
How short is this guy? Or is he sitting just too low and too far forward ??
+SuperYoda7 I'm not tall but a proper driving position is indeed forward and low. The following is a great video if you wish to learn:

Another great job on the review! I spy a B6 Audi A4.
+xkrnxboix Good eye! It's a hardworking Audi.
Is it yours on your buddy's?
xkrnxboix
It's my buddy's.
gunna come out and meet you at diamond rally 2k16
+Tanzil Ali Sounds good!
you may be my new favorite car guy.
+Earl Saxman Earl, that is awesome and I am extremely flattered. THANK YOU.
Belts crossed???
Yes... embarassingly. It's been pointed out to me that I used the harness wrong. Will know better for next time.
No overheads? But supercars at your expense :)
Took me 2 seconds to give it a thumbs up...
+Ernestom5 Thank you so much, Ernest!
is the GT3 RS defined as "care"? seems like the foundation got enough money...
+Phil Jones The RS doesn't belong to the foundation... it belongs to a private owner who is raising money to help St. Paul's.
Rear glass? Plastic shouldn't it?
Good catch!
you are a great presenter.....do you even drift?
Thanks Doctor Drift. See my latest video. I drift!
If all that carbon was put on a gt3, the gt3 rs wouldn't even see the color of the gt3.
I don't get why, WHY should we listen to the sound outside the cabin while you're driving? It is distorted, and it isn't the sound you hear while driving. Please let us hear the cabin noise.
The reason this sounds slightly unnatural is that my exhaust mic was clipped by the extremely loud exhaust. If it didn't clip, I doubt it would even draw attention. Don't know if you've done any in-cabin recordings yourself, but you will never get a true representation of the in cabin experience from using a cabin mic alone. What you experience IRL is always a mixture of in cabin sounds and external exhaust sounds. What I do is mix them the best I can in post to create a visceral experience. It will always be an audio mixer's own interpretation of how things sound in the end. Even Top Gear and other big shows will record from various parts of a car to produce a good sounding track in post. This is just the reality of the video making. It is entirely up to you whether you like the way I and others do things, but straight up in cabin recording isn't perfect either and won't ever approximate the real experience.
+driveopolis So first of all - thanks for the response. I know that if I want to hear the real sound, I have to drive the car by myself wich isn't possible and thats why I'm grateful to people like you for posting videos, your videos btw. are very good, and pleasent to watch. But I still don't understand why I wouldn't get the closest experience, by placing two mics inside the cabin, at head level, where my ears would be while driving. The thing that annoys me so much about recording the exhaust sound is the wind noise and the fact that it is - like I said - distorted. This sounds to me like you would drive with slightly rolled down windows at high speeds. The mix though is still much better than pure exhaust sound.
That's not a tuner car
You need to learn how to use a 5 point harness. Hard to take a guys review seriously when his lap belts are around his ribs.
+rockie071 Yes, it's been pointed out to me that I didn't use the harness correctly. I'll correct it next time. If you think that means all my comments about the car are invalid, then so be it.
+driveopolis Sorry to be so harsh but your commenting on the finer details of a GT3 RS yet don't know how to wear a harness. Its just hard to ignore. I still enjoyed the video and wish you luck.
Nice video, but that lip smacking got to me...
+labusasmr Haha. Experience too intense, couldn't speak.
As a Porsche owner, couldn't help but yawn...
