The Cost Of 20,000 Miles In The Porsche 991 GT3!

- This is my Porsche 911 991 GT3 manual! A car I bought with a very long term view to the ownership - to enjoy across track days, road trips and daily driving. I'm just over 20,000 miles in now and it's about to have its next major service - so what have the costs been so far?

Supercar ownership as it should be: driving the wheels off it at every occasion AND on track, without constantly fretting over values and finance
No, that's called being rich
@@MrDrmorbid tru... but still, while I wouldn't call this a supercar... these cars and more super ones are meant to be driven, not to be sitting in a museum.
Zishan Syed gt3 not a supercar? This thing is a mammoth on a track.....
@@simon8089 No 911 is really a supercar and that's precisely why I love them so much! I mean maybe the RSes, but as far as I'm concerned 911s are sportscars, not supercars. The Carrera GT is a supercar, the 918 is a hypercar, but the 911 is a sportscar to me. I've never fancied a supercar for myself, I admire them and drool over their looks and stats and sounds, but I would probably not own one, I'll definitely own and drive a 911! In fact, I'm kind of half seriously looking for a a GT3 Touring atm. Let me know if u know someone that wants to sell...
@@zishansyed8905why CGT and 918 are not in the same league? I thought 918 replaced the CGT. And never understood hyper/super car difference.
But agree with you about the 911.
"So what have the costs been so far?"
1800 pads + 4000 tires (normally) =5800 pounds.
Really curious what the service will cost!
I love the idea of owning a car for life. The experiences, the scars, the stories are all there and give it so much character.
i try but with how shity car build in normal.. it just better to just get new one.. after 20 years...
Exactly, like ever so slight wear on an alcentara steering wheel after driving it hard around on a track
@@BijanIzadi gotta wear gloves!
Completely agree with you!
So nice to see someone actually driving their car as intended. There are so many You Tubers out there just drive them around London with silly exhausts. Keep up the great work!
Sports-cars are never intended to be dailydriven. Toyota is a car that is meant to be dailydriven. Sportscars are meant to be special to escape on the weekends or late nights
Legend for daily driving a MANUAL gt3. Would do the same, if possible ( and i really want those glasses 👓 )
Same, anyone know what brand and model are those sun glasses?
Chen L Thom Browne model TB808 if I’m correct mate
Alexandre LGrand mate, incredibly expensive those glasses, OMG, especially here in Brasil, about 9 THOUSAND and then some
Nope. Honda's little CTR is faster and has more room. The new RS will also be faster. All at a fraction of the price. Porsche has dropped the ball a long time ago. Except for the high HIGH end cars, it's a joke (performance wise)...
Ronan B I have never heard such drivel. It’s all about the felling mate
Its so nice you drive it everyday and don't hide it away in a garage like most gt3 owners do 😃
20000 miles, I'm impressed. I look forward very much to more information about your next major service. Keep it coming Mr JWW
This stuff is super cool and insightful! As someone who dreams of one day owning a 991.2 GT3 it’s nice to see it’s a supercar that’s very much usable and reliable!
Errrrrm it's not a supercar my friend.
hewhoknowseverything what is it?
Adam02M a fwd hatchback obviouslx
@@matthewortega5492 it's not a super car
@@matthewortega5492 is an m5 a super car
Great car. Seems like the Touring would have been the way to go for you. Your seat modifications tell the story for daily use. Plus that wing is in the way if you aren’t going for lap times.
I think it’s brilliant your actually running this car as a long term plan. So many you tubers car guys are simply running a car for a few months and passing it on. Actually seeing a car like this run for a long term is going to be really interesting to follow. Keep the running updates going. I’m hooked 👍
James by far the best car you tuber out there,love the fact you are different and don’t follow all the cringe fads like going through a drive thru also can’t wait for the bunker and all the amazing content that will follow especially with the track
20,000 miles service is Intermediate service, NOT major service.
Major service is at 4 years or 40,000 miles.
Porsche employee here.
It's a 2017 car (born 2016). 4 year major service.
Great car, one thing about bugs. They can do damage even to the PPF,
If they are not removed ASAP - you can use towel and detail spray.
One thing to think if you won’t your son to drive really good car.
I know it’s a daily driver but should be cleaner.
Yes James!!!! You’re the perfect owner for this car!
Exactly my thoughts!
I see that Ratino shirt James, love this car so much. I think the chalk grey is my favorite Porsche second to Miami Blue
@Jorn Navarre even if it is, it looks damn good on this car
watching your videos always make my day better thanks a lot and hope that you will be the biggest in the business
Thanks for the support - lots of epicness to come!
Good to see an over view. With costs included.
James: Hand the car to my son one day.
Every: Likes that.
Beating on it like it's an old Daewoo.. that's how these should be used!
New here? The R8 had it rough LOL
I’m genuinely excited to see how far you can push this GT3. It’ll truly show the reliability of Porsche.
Currently averaging 23k miles per sticker. Can we aim to have more than 5 at 100k 🤣
I’m planning on DDing my gt3 when I get mine in the next few months!
Congrats..PDK or Manual
As much as I commend you for this car. You're a fool for paying £1800 to change brake pads over... Porsche or otherwise. Lol thought you were head smart James!
This car is proper used. Good on ya m8🤘
the color is really nice
also, I'd like a GT3 Touring with a PDK, or a Targa with a manual
Why state 'The cost of 20,000 miles' in the heading and then exclude the main servicing costs?!
Probably because he said it's due for a major service that hasn't been done yet and the fact that he said he'll do a separate video, just for that.
Would you have preferred he didn't make this video at all? I mean, you can watch the next vid and add the cost of the major service to the costs articulated in this one or maybe just forget you saw this vid?
What's the point of asking dumb questions that are addressed in the video?
Why u trollin'?
Such a dream car! Though i'd wrap it with some crazy blues :D
Porsche stated that this engine should withstand 150,000 Miles or ~241,000 Kilometers before valve replacement or complete overhaul.
I don’t really get the premise....why daily drive a special car? Wouldn’t it be advisable to preserve a car you love for a longer period of time? I certainly get that it’s silly to be so precious with a car that you don’t enjoy it.....but it would seem like you’ve overcorrected. Sometimes you just clock miles in traffic.....why not use a more pedestrian car for those circumstances?
A Porsche would easily do 500,000 klm whater that is in miles. y BMW has done 340,000 klm so far and is still purring. Enjoy The New Turbo S looks a Real Beast !
I LOVE that car. Thanks for sharing
Well there's no chance James is selling it after this video 🤣😂🤣
Looking forward to seeing you again soon
Always watch your GT3 content 👍! 🍻 to keeping it 4ever 👌!
Loved this video!
At 02:03 the seatbelts are showing wear! A bit surprising after only 22k miles ~ !!
electric hand brakes are one of the most stupid ideas ever always having problems on all makes of cars
My bros' electric E brake in his audi a5 coupe failed over the night while he was sleeping. Woke up to his car sitting in the neighbors bush.
I thought that I would have so many issues with the fixed buckets, as I tend to get lower back pains after a while, but I can say that the fixed buckets have been more comfortable than the 18 ways (Apart from getting in and out!) Perhaps its the additional support?
Great video. In the market for a well spec’d GT3 so this is a good overview of what to expect
If one can afford a Porsche, one doesn't worry about running costs. :)
thats not how it works
I have a 991.2 GT3 and thinking about trying the Michelin 4 s over the cup 2 to see if they are a bit more we’ll rounded for someone who does a coup,e of track days but mostly Road use. Find the cup 2’s rubbish in the wet. Interested to know what the major costs I’ve just had first service and also the extended warranty cost for the gt3
I really like your idea of hanging on to the car and passing it to your son. I have the same plan of handing down my 993 (manual Carrera 4) to my. daughter one day....hopefully!
20 K ? light weight...I'm coming up to 50K on my 991 GT3 :)
I too have carbon ceramic brakes and didn't know they needed cleaning. How do you clean them?
With pressured air or small bristle trough the holes?
I have a 997.1 Turbo Metzga manual which I will keep for my son. Love the channel.
Your key would drive my OCD crazy 😂😂
Drove my Mr Purple yesterday !!! Love ❤️ Love a GT3RS!!! The sounds are like no other!!!
Gorgeous car & spec.
Love it , we own a touring which is also never leaving the collection @flat6driving
23k on the clock.. Engine isn't even bed in yet...
£1800 for brake pads 😂
1800 for a pad change seems a bit excessive.. are they different to "standard" pads been ceramic? Labor must be at least a grand, Great vid as usual
I So need this One maybe in 2018 or 2019...991...992.1 is there much of a difference 🤔
I'd like to see a proper breakdown of the costs. These cars have pretty high running costs, if you want to enjoy them.
General wear on consumables is one thing; tyres, brake pads, fuel, servicing.
What about the track day insurance costs, road tax, road insurance.
From my estimates, its about £10k to do 10,000 miles, with three track days; excluding depreciation.
How do you get to 10k for 10,000 miles? I haven't had a GT3, but I've had a ZO6, an M5 and I daily a 911 and I don't see anywhere near that kind of costs.
Hi Mr JWW!
I watched an older video from you where you just bought a 991.2 PDK. In that vid you said that you would never want the 991.2 with as a manual. So now obviously you changed your mind. But can you please tell me why? I'm seriously interested. I drove lots of PDKs and Porsche manuals as well. And as the PDKs are brilliant, I would prefer the Porsche manual any time in any car!
Cheers Matthias
How often are you replacing the tires?
Would you mind sharing a link for these seat cushions from Sparco?
Murat Küden same. Been searching online and can’t find it 😄
Same link where to buy ?
The mk2 gt3 is the best super car for the UK. Most people will never know youve got a car that is faster than most ferraris/ lambos and just dimis it for just another porsche. The mk 2 gt3 has the best exhaust note from any car ever. My absolute dream car and best car for a one car guatage. Nice to see someone who has it set up for daily and uses it for track aswell!
20k miles Ina year is alot must be alot of highway miles. 😂
Ring miles too!
Nice to see a TH-camr making a video as to Why your KEEPING the car, rather then the often “Why I’m selling my car” videos. Well done James.
Sure you have warranty so wont mind but the exhaust problem you mention is covered by a video on my channel if you are interested. Search 'PSE quiet 981'
Love it didn't even cut out the sponge behind seat pad nicely lol
Send it 💪🏼😂
How have the side bolsters on the buckets held up?
YES VERY QUIET! AFTER A HUGE BUNKER ANNOUNCED! SO PLEASEEE UPLOAD
These are my favorite videos. I want to hear real people talking about their own cars. Well done!!
Hello James! Is there a DBX video coming in the SUV hunt?
Purest modern day manual in my opinion, though I love the Touring and GT3, would be a 911R...
Love that you drive your cars. The GT3, AMG GTR PRO, and Viper TA are all cars i am looking at for my first supercar. Great info.amd video as always James.
Hey James! Can you do some watch reviews? I know you have some APs but maybe some other cool watches? Would love to see your review of them and some close up shots :))) love your content as always ❤️
Love the long term nature of this video. Would love to know how you're maintaining the alcantara in your car, especially the steering wheel.
How refreshing to see a well known TH-camr properly use their car! It's liberating knowing you don't have to worry about the mileage you do for fear of values.. My 991.2 C2S gets used at every opportunity. Well done sir!
Hearing a GT3 drive by never gets old, same with seeing them👀🥰 Definitely always has been and always will be my dream car.
Love your channel James, and looking forward to new and exciting content coming next!
Thanks dude
£1,800 for some brake pads, by eck' lad.👍🇬🇧
Gregory Forge
Well this is a happy GT3, can’t wait to see new journey with 👌🏻
Could we get a quote for discs and pads fully fitted including VAT pretty please?
I'm curious when it goes into service what the clutch life is at 🤔
A driven car is a happy car. Big thumbs up for Mr.JWW.
I think cleaning the exhaust tips after drives would have kept them still gloss black. Not doing this does bake them as you say. Manual is obviously the right choice for this GT3.
Appreciate high mileage Porsches that get USED! Own a 09' C4S with 152K!! Works like a Rolex still. Hey that right rear "cap" looks like the TPMS cover/nut that pinches the o-ring on the inside of your rim to get a proper seal. Maybe you had that looked at during the major.

Subscribed! Man this was great. I daily / canyon / track my Tesla Performance Model 3 and I’m currently looking at the GT3 or GT4 manual gearbox. I just need that roar, manual input and something to teach my kids how to drive a manual gearbox. Would you ever consider buying a GT4 ?
Well done. Too few enjoyed as they should be. Exhaust corrosion has hounded Porsche 911 models for many a generation. Sticking valves on the sports exhausts also common sadly, but generally no car I've owned wears hard miles with less agro than a Porsche.
Try that 20k mile year with 12 track days in an RS6 and you'd be 5x that running cost
Are you running Cup 2s through winter?
Slow to the video. But, in the US, the light sometimes stays on, when the brake fluid is low. And it would make sense, seeing as how it’s being tracked. Hard to believe that you’re not changing the brake fluid, more often. Most people I know, change it before track days, almost every track day. Brake fluid boils and loses its effectiveness.
Major service shouldn't be too bad £1350-1500 for service + bfc
Ceramic discs will be around £15000 but as they are meant to last the 'life of the car' its not too bad but as you have been on track use its definitely worth it.
But nevertheless amazing car!
Love that car , ps is that your houses grounds your on?? 😳😎😎👍🏻
If you can’t put it on a lift for fluid changes and MPI every 5k miles, you can’t afford a German luxury/sports car. It’s a high precision instrument. This is not hyperbole.
Beautiful car; so much better looking inside and out than the 992 (especially inside. I hate the 992’s interior). But 1800 quid to swap pads!?
You have meationed those shims a couple of times. Are these just for any manual operated seats. Looking at trying to get a bit of tilt on my Aston GT8 seats. Could you forward details of supplier. 👍
jeez that's a lot of problems to be honest don't know how you sound so relaxed
£1800 for new pads, and they scored your disks?!? Actually, that's more of a gouge than a score. I'd be pissed.
I laughed at you dodging the cost of replacing the astronomically expensive carbon ceramic discs. 😂
Just wondering but any chance you use this daily ?🤪
Love the content. Keep up the excellent work. Saw GT3, clicked immediately.
Question: @ 3:48 Where to get the seat custom bracket and how to install? Any links to it?
It’s documented on Rennlist
One of your best videos so far.. Love all the details and also what you said to maybe give this timeless machine to your son
You can wash the wheel and then using a heat gun and a soft brush restore it back to soft and fluffy. I’ve done this on my two cars.
Funny how you reference Chalk looking like primer - I've just had my S15 resprayed in Chalk and one person has already mistaken it for the primer before the actual colour coat. Haha
Good to see someone driving their cars and putting the miles on !!!
