Guy who owned both cars racing them on Nürburgring said that GT2 RS might have the quicker single lap time, but in a race over many laps, the GT3 takes it every time because- easier on the tyres, no turbo to overheat etc. It's a shame that a large amount of car culture gets reduced down to this American straight line stuff but, it's interesting all the time and great video.
Nice vid. Drove a GT4 at the Porsche Centre at Silverstone a few weeks back. Epic handling and 80mph in 2nd gear. I can only imagine how well the GT4RS goes especially with that JCR exhaust.
JCR let me drive his GT4RS .. very impressive and same power as my GT3RS with the custom exhaust .. great car… mine is much more track focussed though …
What is the primary difference between the GT2 RS and GT3 RS? I'm new to the Porsche fandom community. I thought the GT3 RS was the best of the best but this just proved my thoughts wrong!
@@grahamkracker456The gt2 rs is the ultimate track Porsche followed by the 3, then 4. The 2rs is in top 10 on the Nurburgring I think..For a production vehicle...
@@grahamkracker456 the gt3 RS is a naturally aspirated track weapon focused purely on the driving experience and an utterly incredibly engine sound.

The JCR GT4 RS was rapid ! Without the exhaust I think it would have been closer.. I also wish I had played more with the diff settings etc on my GT3RS .. but on the day the GT4RS won fair and square.. it’s a great car.. thanks Johnny for letting me have a go too 🙌
Ouch ! but I’ll take that !! It was my first drag race and first time using launch on the car.. I’m sure with a pro driver it would have been slightly closer.. but not enough to catch that GT4RS on the day.. it was pretty much same power as my car, lighter with a pro ex racing driver and better aero for drag racing.. my wing looks mega I think… but it’s for track downforce not drag racing !
Great line-up and with surprising results. The GT3 RS driver doesn't seem to have the best reaction times but very entertaining. Now get them on a track, any track will do;0)
@@MinatoNamikaze-se9tm The GT2 RS is slower than the GT3 RS on that circuit 6.47 vs 6.44, you might refer to the GT2 RS MR which is a modified car. But any circuit is different so it would be great to watch.
1:06 wtf are you talking about "jumping the start?! in 0:48 you can clearly see that his hands were already down and still some time went by, then the left one just startet earlier than the right one.
I was the the pilot of the plane that was flying over you guys, in fact it was my first solo, wicked to see the video after i was watching you guys drive from the sky, great video
@@ArchieHamiltonRacing i know, I thought someone was filming as I was watching you guys, watching the cars was wicked, wish I could get to see them every time I went down to turweston
Also how shamelessly one can deflect embarrassment and humiliation. The GT3 driver is giving the masterclass with that straight face he kept throughout
It would be great to see you taking them all out for timed laps as Top Gear used to do. Invite viewers to bring their stock/ modified cars along for you to take out on track and compare times.
We’ve written up a blog on our website with more info and images plus explanation of the parts installed on the 4RS, if you’re interested take a look :)
If the GT4RS was stock, do you think it would be closer with the GT3RS? Seems kind of odd that it's so much faster than the GT3RS, doesn't it? Although having said that, I was watching a track drive between a 992 GT3 and a GT4RS (both stock) and the GT4RS consistently pulled away from the GT3 on the straights.
It would be interesting to know on what tires the cars were running on. All in all there was very little tracktion, may be a 2nd run on a more dry and warm surface provides other results.
Man, how'd you guys expect to have any chance against the GT2 RS? hahahaha it's just beastly, on another level! The GT2 RS is the proper 911 RS car, insane handling with insane power. The GT3 RS and GT4 RS are crazy cars no doubt but they have "only" around 500 hp which isn't enough by today's standards. Hope Porsche puts at least 600hp in the next GT3 RS version in some years...
Depends on the emissions regulations of that time, Porsche engineers have said that it’s no problem to get 600hp even from the N/A 4.0 - but they would need a less strict exhaust system and a bit higher rpm redline. But the regulations become harder every year and we should thank them a lot only for their efforts to keep n/a engines in the gt3 line nowadays
Turbo s would easily win starting from 0 and pretty definitive too since little to no wheel spin and would be far ahead. Rolling start would be closer to 2 RS
Yep! We’ve written up a blog on our website which shares more info on the car and from the day. Once again a massive thanks to Archie for having us along
0:49 .... Archie How tf did the GT4 jump the start when in your own footage you would see that your hands were completely down before it moved. Leave the Drag racing nonsense to Mat and the carwow crew mate.
That was surprising. Oh ya, no it wasn’t. Turbo S will beat the Gt2 in the quater mile but after that the high end speed will beat the Turbo S. The GT3 and 2 might be interesting on a track
As a owner of a GT2RS and 992 GT3 MR, I’m not surprised. Love both cars but the GT3 hits around 150 mph in the same distance the 2RS hits 169 mph. That’s the acceleration difference. Braking is amazing in both cars, but slightly stronger in the 992 with the Manthey spec.
I would pick the GT3RS(not because of looks, but the engine) for track, and GT4RS for road (THE CABIN SOUND IS BETTER THAN THE GT3’s!! It’s imo the best sounding new production car in the world!)
If the GT3RS driver started in the same decade as the other drivers he might have won something
hahaha
Yeah the gt3 needed someone who could drive
Absolutely
@@facualmi89p😂
Lmao right
Rumour has it that the reaction times of the GT3RS driver are measured in weeks
Yeah, he was a bit slow to react lol
Old fella😅@@alienstorage1100
Guy in the glasses has about 2 second reaction time on every start.
Same thing I was thinking
Imagine what the 992 GT2RS will be like!
when it's going to be released?
You’ll have to wait for the .2 - don’t think they make those until the end
I don't think they'll release one this generation
@@mshal_alahim739 Near the end of 992.
Not as sweet as the gt3 imho. Unless you area drag race queen.
Would still pick that gt3rs every single day of the week. What a beautiful machine
They've really nailed the looks 👌🏿
For sure, wouldnt read too much into this fun little youtube video
Turbo s
.all day
Thank you - I feel very lucky to have one 🙏
Why instead of look?

Exactly, it's a sad sight to see such jewels designed for the track being used to drive "straight".
Thanks for this one Archie!!!! This is proper solid content. Was waiting for this drag race for a while, glad you pulled it off 😁

1:29, I like how the GT3's wing moves to add downforce, although speeds are not adequate
On a track is all that mattered, it would murder a gt4rs.
i think this control could be controlled by the driver, but idk
I was surprised the GT4RS got the GT3RS, great show.

Does the exhaust in the GT4 RS make that much difference? 😮
Nah, the gt3rs has so much drag, it's obviously slower in a straight line but quicker around the track because of the formidable downforce
@@thatlamborghiniguy5826 I agree but the GT4RS has a large wing too. Doesn’t it also have a racing exhaust system too.
@@klkh2002makes a good difference! Usually a 4RS would be pretty dead even with a 992 GT3RS
Suspension travel on the 2RS looks like it’s been adjusted for street comfort, and 100% is what’s costing the GT2RS the great launch it can do
and it still wins lol
What a weapon the 2RS is! Love these sorts of videos Archie, keep 'em coming! 🔥
Thanks Sue! Will do!

but should try to get better drivers
Always love the great videos Archie! Keep them coming and thank you

Exactly. Meanwhile the GT2 RS driver is the polar opposite. Good energy vs. bad.
I clicked on this because I thought it was carwow but no, it’s Archie hamster Hamilton
🤣
A 911 with twin turbos and rear drive, nice! 😋
The more I see GT4 RS videos, the more I want to buy a GT4 RS Spyder.
Very impressed with the GT4 RS!
I love the GT2rs, but nothing can beat a high revving n/a.
Until the turbos kick in and you’re left in the dust
The GT4-RS is the best car of the bunch as a driver car
@MowSow I was referring to how much I like the car when saying a GT2rs can't beat high revving n/a. Not speed.

4 was unexpectedly quick. I thought it would come out last. But it ate 3 for dinner😂. 2 is just out of this world.
All brilliant cars.
The car has a tune and an aftermarket exhaust as well, they mentioned it at the start. Because the 4Rs really isn’t that fast
@@Boostedsuspects source that the 4rs has a tune? Pretty sure it is just suspension + exhaust
@@domonokun Carwow did just a race with the GT3 + 4 variants and the GT3 RS beat the 4 RS by a couple car lengths in the 1/4 mile.

Probably not, the downforce isn’t good for drag races, around a track? Hell yes.
Gt3rs has a huge wing that creates alot of downforce hence slowing it down. And where did you see gt4rs being faster than a gt3😂😂.
Stock for stock they’re very similar, once the 4RS has some JCR mods, well.. This is the result
@@Raphael16045did you watch the video? Like, any of it at all?
@@DullBoyJack There is a difference btwn gt3rs and gt3. The one on the video is a gt3rs.

Great video Archie. Enjoyed this fella More please 🙏
Thanks mate! Will do!

Ah least they can launch a car on carwow
Gt3rs slow of the line Evert time, send home the old man
4RS is absolutely nuts!!!
Great Video 🏁
Thanks Mark!
Herbie goes bananas nice to see beetle racing
you know what's gonna be nice? Is when you add the car's details comparing it to each other before racing lol

Turbo s would easily win starting from 0 and pretty definitive too since little to no wheel spin and would be far ahead. Rolling start would be closer to 2 RS

Why did he turn off the drs!?? Bro the gt3 rs driver is crap even in reaction time
Nice cars. Well done guys
Thanks!
Carwow rip-off thumbnails is good idea 🤣
Crazy line up, GT2 RS is mental. Work on the finishing product to make the viewing of the drag race a better viewing experience 👍🏾
Is the 3RS racing with DRS?
Do this test on a racetrack with curves and the gt3rs will beat the others!
Hi I’m Mat Watso… oh wrong channel. Damn algorithms brought me here 😂
I wonder if the exhaust on the Gt4 rs is making that difference. Great drag racing.

I think it also weighs less
Not much about 120lbs less

These cars are not for drag race. This test doesnt make sense, they were not build to perform good under these conditions.
We will track them next time!
This was a good one !
Enjoyed that. Thank you.
Pleasure mate
Imagine if we had the 911 gt1 🗿
GT3 RS is set up for downforce, not outright speed. It would eat the others alive on a circuit.
Cooles Video, danke euch👍🏻
The crazy thing is the gt4 ie they Caymen is nerfed because the mid engine layout with an equal engine would exceed the 911
Wow what a race brilliant thank you take care see ya soon 🎉🎉🎉

型落ちだけどGT2RSは、別格だね～現型のGT2RSを早く観たいね！
This is what massive down force does to a GT3 RS. Built for the corners, not so much straight light acceleration.
GT3 RS produces a lot of Drag for straight line, its a no brainer. Bet it will beat all of them in a track race
Just listen to that GT4 RS!!!!
Unreal mate
I was lucky enough to drive it… incredible sound 🙌 JCR are the masters with these exhaust systems….
2:14 All the ”GT_ RS” talk made me forget what we’re doing here
That was awesome for drag racing! Now put the three of them on a track and do laptimes with the same driver in all three.
GT4 driver didnt jump, GT3 driver just sleeps on the line🤣
Is there something wrong with the gt3 or its driver?
Great content, may want to pick something else first next time☺
it is soooooooo confusing which 2 which is 3 or 4. Can't you line them up properly in order?
Or get different colour each?
I would pick the GT3RS(not because of looks, but the engine) for track, and GT4RS for road (THE CABIN SOUND IS BETTER THAN THE GT3’s!! It’s imo the best sounding new production car in the world!)

Yep
Turbo S to the GT3 RS: Hold my beer.
spins in every gear until it gets to 3rd 🤣🤣 killed me.

bro where do you get those drivers from!!! you should be driving with Matt from Carwow! they could barely make the shifts correctly.
The GT3RS driver hasn't even had breakfast yet.
