"You can combine Dumbledore and Gandalf and you still don't get the magice that is the GT3" As a geek/petrohead: that was one of the most powerful analogies I have ever come across
Agreed with both of you guys. A lot of the people in America think standard means automatic lol. Unfortunately manual cars are dying out, I like to buy them while I can and you should too. They won't be around for as long as we thought they would be
@@r129r16pfl My money is on the fact that for years marketers have been beating ignorant buyers about faster times in automatics while regular road vehicles stopped producing the manual option in cars with higher trim packages. As a result, today a manual is viewed as a slow and economic means of transferring power to the wheels. I would buy a 3.3 Stinger in a heartbeat, but not having a manual is a complete deal breaker for me. Same reason I will never own any modern Mercedes. If we have more reviewers point out the non statistical benefits of a manual gearbox, I believe that we will be able to bring them back. These guys did a phenomenal job in this video!
I did a track day in a 997 GT3 last year, they're just the most amazing cars in the world. I since bought a 986 as an introduction to the Porsche brand and it seems that Porsche just make the best cars in the world.
The GT3 of this generation is perfection. They will be difficult to attain with value. I settled on the 991.1 Manual with the 3.8. It does not go to 9k but that flat 6 howl still sounds amazing at 7800!
I believe the success of this channel is a direct result of the personality of you both. Not snobby. Good blend of comedy with practical stuff we wanna know about these cars.
You know what Porsches are? They are enablers-they constantly ask you to “go faster, I can handle it!” I’ve had two Porsches, a 987.1 Cayman S and now a 981 Boxster S and that flat 6 near redline is like Mozart! Just phenomenal. Can’t imagine what it’s like to drive a GT3-next level!
One of my favorite cars ever... I noticed at the end this car had a Porsche of London plate frame, I have a friend that works there. (Also where I live) I'd die to drive this car... What an absolute gem.
This whole video is seriously fun and good. You two are extremely good at what you do and then you add the production values and the 911 GT3 and you get 14+ minutes of excellence. Awesome stuff!
This car is amazing, now I don’t test drive cars for a living and the best car I have had driven was no where near this. I did get to drive the automatic version of this car with GTA exotics car tour and by far the best car and most responsive car I have had the pleasure of being in control of.
We had an older 2004 Boxster S manual transmission and my wife and I went to drive a new Boxster S and checked out the 911 Carrera 4S as well and surprisingly we both preferred the driving the Boxster! It just felt more fun to the both of us.
Watching a year old video from you guys makes me realise how hard they've worked and how much they have improved in a year. This video is really good but then you watch the late 2019 video and just, wow. Keep up the great work guys and btw, this manual porsche is what dreams are made of!!
Awesome car, Draw one and loved it, It's a shame that Porsche dealers are asking 25k over a sticker, Almost purchased one for 195 k, I went with my second choice, 2018 Audi R8 rws, 5.2 liters na v10 with a 8.5 k redline, For 155k, Epic ride, Best supercar for the money
So i was already a Fan and subscribed, but just seen this video..Seeing the Pure Real Enjoyment you guys had came through so well and im a Fan for Life!
Just got mine 4 weeks ago with club sport etc and it truly is phenomenally awesome to drive. The visceral feeling is unbelievable it maoes you a better driver and hitting 180+ kph in 3rd smashing 4th is ridiculous
Speechless. Pure sex. Every line I ever liked in any 911 is on THIS car. My wife (no car crazy) walked in, stopped and said "Orgasmic" and walked out. The sound is ridonkulous. Enough blathering- "Uncle!" I subscribed, finally. Getting me to subscribe to ANY channel is like trying to borrow money from a Scotsman- impossible. I'll donate an organ if I can have one.
you guys are completely right. I drove and RS in Vegas on track and it completely ruined me. I now have to live life knowing ill never afford that car...
Every word you said in this video made me even happier for my 2006 Cayman S. Whailing screaming boxer-six but ‘slow’ enough to reach the redline on public roads ✌️😎
Looking back from 2024, bothe the N/A and manual lives on. But the GT3 price is still sky-rocketing. The difference is now the new one is even more expensive and selling at hundreds and hundreds of thousands above the msrp now.
I was never big into Porsche as child but man oh man this is one hell a machine for hair lifting experience, I’ve never seen let alone driven this model or any Porsche but from all the reviews I would buy this with a 6 speed manual, the carbon fiber sport bucket seats, and as for the paint and interior I’m not sure about, but I would track it definitely, I can go with either Carbon ceramics or the regular Steel Composite brakes 🤷🏾♂️🤓, last thing this car is worth it’s money imo, you get what you pay for on this one, and I appreciate the timeless 911 look, and I’m not a Porsche guru but I have mad respect for this car and it’s engineers, now I need to make stupid money, ok I’m done 🤷🏾♂️
Porsche gets some respect for the manual
5.9Aaron straight fax, I only recently learned most Porsche’s come standard with them and that blew me away
@@donovanshea3308 really? I guess for it's price most would never guess
"You can combine Dumbledore and Gandalf and you still don't get the magice that is the GT3"

A gt3 is already cool enough. But a manual gt3? Now that's a serious car.
Ikr
It's very sad that PDK's are outselling the manual car :(
People are lazy or what? Yes PDK is faster, but you don't buy a street car for laptimes.
@MaxSpeed
It is sad that we live in a world where people make statements that suggest that a manual gearbox is not standard equipment.....

GT3 Touring is the ultimate as 95% of epic 911R at 40% of current cost ... 500 hp NA manual 9K rpm !! Best modern road car period
Problem is they're so rare they won't depreciate.
The 911 R is roughly $200k. The GT3 Touring is roughly $150k. I just wanna make sure the numbers are right no?
Anthony Villa if you can find me a 911R for $200K I will take it thanks
Then there’s the 911 Speedster, double stream liners on the rear deck lid, $299K. That’s for me.
I did a track day in a 997 GT3 last year, they're just the most amazing cars in the world. I since bought a 986 as an introduction to the Porsche brand and it seems that Porsche just make the best cars in the world.
James Healey perfect 👍🏽 that’s what I’m going to do Get a used 997 Carrera or a turbo and go on from there ;)
I have a 986S and my buddy bought this exact car as in the video, just in green. It's a spectacular car
The hi rev range is why I ride motorcycles! I LOVE winding out the engine theres something special about it.
Now I need $300k at least.
Lol..... It was you guys making all that noise that day 😂 great video.... Save the manuals!
Manual Gt3 was the best car I drove this year
Tedward same ... it is epic !!
Did you drive one with a pdk? If so which did you have more fun in?
I've been lucky enough to drive both a manual and a PDK there's pure magic with the manual.
The way I perked up when James mentioned Grindr
This guy died waiting for a GT3 allocation! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The GT3 of this generation is perfection. They will be difficult to attain with value. I settled on the 991.1 Manual with the 3.8. It does not go to 9k but that flat 6 howl still sounds amazing at 7800!
Great choice
The outro and intro were amazing guys! Throttle House better be here for ever hahaha
I agree. I was so mad when someone called me on bluetooth when I was driving mine 😂
When James revs it up at the 8:00 minute mark...I could feel the thrill of that from behind my laptop screen. Incredible.
The manliest James has ever sounded 3:38 😂

Best Porsche ever. An incredible machine. Has such superb road feel. So balanced. Full tilt car. This is high on my list.
What a machine. Manual transmissions are so rewarding
That color is beautiful
This car is amazing, now I don’t test drive cars for a living and the best car I have had driven was no where near this. I did get to drive the automatic version of this car with GTA exotics car tour and by far the best car and most responsive car I have had the pleasure of being in control of.
Respect to all car companies still fitting manuals to cars
I’ve watched this video way to many times, I just can’t get over the sound of that flat 6! Absolutely amazing sound!
My favorite 911 along with GT4 which also has manual too 🤔🤔 the power perfect, precision perfect and that Sound is Amazing
We had an older 2004 Boxster S manual transmission and my wife and I went to drive a new Boxster S and checked out the 911 Carrera 4S as well and surprisingly we both preferred the driving the Boxster! It just felt more fun to the both of us.
James isn't even scared looking.... That really says alot....
i Had the opportunity to drive a GT3 albeit with the automatic transmission and boy it was one heck of a ride, incredible machine!!!
I love this car so much.
finally a solid ass car!!! 9,000rpm manual banger!
You guys are killing me! I can't want a GT3 any more than I already do, Ugh, it almost hurts.
These intros just keep on getting better and better!
We were working on one today. It involved James wearing a wig and-... actually I don’t want to talk about it..
@@ThrottleHouse lmao cant wait 😂
Love your reviews man. Thanks for the time and effort you put into it! Keep it up!
Only watched this video because - it's a manual!
Watching a year old video from you guys makes me realise how hard they've worked and how much they have improved in a year. This video is really good but then you watch the late 2019 video and just, wow. Keep up the great work guys and btw, this manual porsche is what dreams are made of!!
Thanks buddy. Yeah this is one of the first we ever made!
@@jamesengelsman9369 oh, i didn't know that. You're welcome keep doing what you do man
You guys are getting better and better. So thankful for your great contents. Keep up the good work.
The GT3 is my favorite car of all time. Nothing like it 🏁 Great video guys!! I've ridden in one but never drove one.
Dream Porsche right there! Amazing
Clutch is actually lovely nowadays
Fantastic video, guys! All of your reviews are so spot on. Loved getting such a great rundown on the GT3, even on soggy back roads.
Even in the Halloween voice tune Thomas still had a Canadian accent 😂😂😂
This car is epic. With a manual - it’s on another level.
This is in Markham, ON Reesor Road! Well done guys. Big fan!
Awesome car,
Draw one and loved it,
It's a shame that Porsche dealers are asking 25k over a sticker,
Almost purchased one for 195 k,
I went with my second choice, 2018 Audi R8 rws,
5.2 liters na v10 with a 8.5 k redline,

Epic ride,
Best supercar for the money

I’ve just been watching Throttle House all day
Just got mine 4 weeks ago with club sport etc and it truly is phenomenally awesome to drive. The visceral feeling is unbelievable it maoes you a better driver and hitting 180+ kph in 3rd smashing 4th is ridiculous
This is a well produced and well balanced review. Props
I just hope that the new Integra is a high revving naturally aspirated car. It'll be a baby GT3!
This video made me cry. Partially of how beautiful it sounds, and partially because I may never be able to afford a 911 GT3 (wipes tears)
I’m watching all the reviews from the beginning annnd their genuine giddiness and child like excitement makes me so happy! 😁🙏🏻
Wow. You guys evolved alot in terms of production and confidence. Glad to see you doing well. Keep it up!

Thanks bros good review, I’d be more worried about the Four Horsemen!
The perfect Porsche.
0:56 - warning for headphone users. nearly shat my pants
...mission accomplished
Love my 2018 GT3 manual!!! Highly recommend....
Always a great intro.
Really like your vids and the talkings! Greetings from Germany - keep on going!😃👌
13:19 - An Englishman on a Canadian TH-cam channel paraphrases an American President to describe the manual transmission in a German car. Wonderful!!
Mr worldwide
So I'm going back in the vault a little bit here during Corona time, and you guys have the best review channel - by a measure of 1.6km!
Yall are too creative and cute 😍
also, AMAZING actors lol 😝
Amazing video guys thanks
manual transmission ❤️
you guys are completely right. I drove and RS in Vegas on track and it completely ruined me. I now have to live life knowing ill never afford that car...
Ayye. S2k shoutout 😎
Every word you said in this video made me even happier for my 2006 Cayman S. Whailing screaming boxer-six but ‘slow’ enough to reach the redline on public roads ✌️😎
This drive has resulted in me searching for used boxsters and Caymans...
Such a gorgeous car and its a stick
OMG. Best intro! How did I miss this one from years ago? You guys are awesome.
Whoever is giving these thumbs down is a speedhump
Throttlehouse review of a manual transmission Porsche? Automatic like.
Great review gents
Nobody:
The guy on the right: 🙂
And he kept short shifting by 2000 rpm! God, i wish i had one!
Wait a minute!... The horror soundtrack starting at 0:45 is the one that plays when you die to the ghost in Phasmophobia
Looks retro.
Dream track car!
These two are the Jason Camissas of Canada. Thoroughly enjoy their takes on cars!
Great video, love the new co-host, and the beard is looking great now!
I do miss the other bloke too.
They canceled Halloween. Hooray for 2020.
I love Porsche and I will have a Porsche 911 soon
Lightning strikes, ear drumms have left the chat
Such a great episode!
Sweet Mother of God the sound.
Okay now I believe you about the roads of Toronto.
I’ll never be able to own a GT3 but a GT4 is definitely on my wish list...
When you randomly see your friends car on throttle house. Looks great Kevin!
I love this intro!
Who needs a stereo, when you have the sound of that sweet flat six, amazing sound.
An irish-green 991.2 GT3 Touring manual.....(at least I can dream of it, hmmmmm)
Great video. Loved the intro
This is my favorite TH video! Can you please REDO this with a track test! PLEASE.

these boys just made sweet sweet love to the GT3 on camera and posted it.
According to latest rumors and prototype spottings on the nurburgring the 992 GT3 might also be Naturally aspirated
Great video with a cool theme based intro.. Love James and his cool English accent.
“Subscribe if you feel bad for us.” 😂 Done!
I love your channel. Started of a shy dude in an e46 to a confident dude making killer vids. Love this channel.
