I have such respect for Porsche for still building an NA GT3 with a manual. It’s an awesome car. Thank you for doing this video for us!! :)
Man these things are beautiful. Wait, I just watched your C8 video and realized you look like you're in America. It's a car enthusiasts heaven. Prices aren't too crazy. Gas is cheap enough that most enthusiasts can find a fast car they can afford to fuel up.
Just watched to realize you are in the States. Hell yeah brother.
I have a 991.2 GT3 (manual) Nick! I love it. It goes to the track about 12-15 times a year. I also do sunrise drives early Sunday. That's how I use it! You're right I would not want to "daily" the car ... but what a special vehicle. I am highly privileged to possess one for the last 4 years. It's a once in a lifetime purchase that I will probably have for many many more years to come ... maybe even become the hand down to the next generation car.
This is the exact spec I have done a hundred times on the configurator and it's so amazing to see my dream in reality. Great overview too.
Thank you,this is the first honest appraisal of this car for it's default use of driving on the roads rather than roaring round a track
1234.5 miles is the icing on the cake! First shot 20 seconds in.. too good!
Mmmmm…. Meissen blue! Fabulous colour!
Haven’t watched one of your videos in a which Nick and within 1 minute I feel better about life. Infectious enthusiasm
Great video Nick. It's the first time I have heard someone explain the full steering lock wheel tracking skipping 'feature', which I experienced but never knew the reason.
I’m in the initial stages of configuring a 911 that I plan on ordering sometime in the near future. I’ve selected Oslo Blue but this shade of blue now has me thinking. It suits the Carrera 4S that I’ve selected quite well, too. Thanks, Nick. Your videos have been quite helpful to me in navigating through the different 911 trims and options.
Oslo Blue is such a beautiful color. Especially with minimal black trim on the car.
@@kehrin Thanks, Marlon. I agree. I think I’m going with Oslo Blue. It’s still early days, but I think Oslo Blue it is as of now.
It is absolutely AMAZING in person. What a great color for these cars…
Oslo blue is 🤴
Get your order in sharpish!
Nick, not gonna lie…I actually prefer your narration, as it’s much more thoughtful and informative than your spur of the moment comments while driving. Perhaps you should employ this technique more often in the future, at least on occasion??? Overall, well done, as usual…
Messian Blue is gorgeous on this 3. Congrats to the owner. Glad he went with a leather steering wheel, as too I, and not racetex....looks crap after a bit.
As for the review, good job. The NA engine is a gem, it makes you smile every drive, the noise if fine. I daily mine with no issues.
As for the comment on buckets, disagree with your comment. It is a GT car, and IMO buckets are essential. They are not hard at all to get into when you know how (no you didn't do it correctly). If you want comfort, get the 18ways seats, but in a GTS. Lastly, it is a real shame that the US cannot have CS pack.
Always nice to drink a cup of coffee in the morning with a new Porsche video from Nick!! Keep up the great work!!!
Finaly someone said outloud that these carbon seats are shit unless You track the car most of the time :)
And most of GT3/ GT4 and others with these seats go very rarely on racetracks...
I agree with you but I imagine they help the resale value. people buy gt3s for the race car feel, not really to be comfortable. These cars rarely go on the track, but perhaps even less of them get daily driven
@@winnieatshunny
But I have no problem (tbh I don't have it at all these are not my cars) with buckets in GT3RS, but people spec them in GT3 Touring and bascially all 718 GT4/ Spyder...
And Spyder annoys me most, it is not race car, it is sunday chill car and with no roof you could prolong the period when you can use it with heated seats...
But no. RaCInG fEeL!
Nick, the first thing I thought of seeing this video is damn, you get to drive some really cool cars! Well done sir! I appreciate your photography and knowledge of all of the features of this beautiful sports car! Thanks, Brian
For those who can't wait Harry of Harry's Garage has tested both version of the GT3. if anyone is looking for an alt point of view. (was I a betting man, I think Nick would have already watched them) as he is obviously a connoisseur of high class car channels. :)
good review, i own a 991.2 GT3 and it positively is not a daily driver; great track car, fun to drive on country roads, awesome sound, but not made to drive on a daily basis; nice PTS color on that GT3
But you want to drive it daily :-)
100%. The turbo or carrera line is a better daily. And for those who actually afford these, I don’t know what line of work allows them time to track them very often.
@@danieldole2750 no
Very succinct analysis. Would love to hear more about the lesser 911 turbo restrictions.
Hans, thanks for not choosing another boring color. people are so self conscious about above average colors that they let this dictate their color choice on such a large personal purchase. Nick love the Green SUV!
2:55 was half expecting you to say "I want to thank my viewer Hans for driving all the way from Germany"
Naturally aspirated is always my favorite!!
This is a different level of approach in car reviews
Full respect man!
Long time watcher! Maybe the operative word is "Courage" to own a GT3. I don't have it! 😞. Happy to say Targa GTS on the way in December so guess I will get over it. Keep those videos coming!
Look forward to you doing a review of the new 911 T
Great colour
Dude, you just knocked it out of the park with this video, just wow, if you still believe the world is flat.
Perfect timing to capture all that beautiful fall CT foliage!
Do you think its worth getting a 911 T?
What a stunner!😍😍 Great review of the brilliant 992 GT3, Nick! I'm probably alone with most on this, but I dig the houndstooth inserts on the bucket seats! Certainly a distinguished option, for the deserving enthusiast. What a beautiful ride that screams to 9k with ease! This specimen is a show stopper while being formal in all the right places.
- How can you tell someone's got cash, without telling they've got cash?? Porsche Paint To Sample!!
Nick, why do you look hunched over and so close to the dash? Is this car a tighter fit?
Getting one is near impossible in Europe, unless you are ready to pay 30-40-50k above MSPR for already spent cars.
Hope for some magic, to be able to secure a gen 2 slot.
Nicely spec'd GT3. I still haven't quite warmed up to the 992s. It's crazy that this is the only 911 in the range that comes with an n/a engine. Strange days but I think the 4.0 Caymans/Boxters are way more exciting.
Really liking the 35mm Nick
Many youtubers seem to struggle with sharp exterior footage at speed
I find it perfectly comfortable to drive around but there’s always the beast to be unleashed on demand. I did forgo the LWB though!
Do you make a Video about the 992 Carerra T?
I'm really impressed of this color. I think you know JP-Perfomance he will get the newer one GT3RS in white, but i like this babyblue on a GT3. What a nice car. Have a nice day Nick.
I have a 991.2 GT3 Touring and find it fine as a street car. However, that may be because I avoided the carbon buckets and built it with 18 way adjustable seats. The buckets were much too uncomfortable to me and difficult to get out of. I don’t track the car but have driven it 1000 miles in one day on a road trip.
I love the voiceovers!! You narrate really well
Even though I'm not man enough to drive a baby blue Porsche I love the color configuration, especially with the dark platinum rims, just looks amazing.
A great review Nick and thanks to Hans for being so generous allowing Nick to transport his great big hairy Gorillas around in his spectacular coloured GT3. 👍👏👏🤷♂️
Love the car, of course. I think I would have to be in the mood to drive one since it has a rough suspension over the other 911 models. And, if I had one, it would never see a track.. It would stay in the garage during the week. In the summer of 2022, I purchased a one owner CPO 2018 911 Carrera 4S in Carmine red with only 7700 miles from Porsche of St. Louis. The only other model which I aspire to obtain is a 992.1 turbo S. But, still, the looks of the 992.1 GT2 and GT3's are gorgeous even with the crazy rear spoiler.
Quite an amazing car as it will be the swan song for high rev NA ICE engines imo. I gave up on trying to attain one however. In the fall of 2020 I contacted about 40 dealerships and only about 5 were taking deposits. I ended up with two in my area taking my money, only one seriously. Last december they called me and said the build slot would be mine with a 50k adm if the guy ahead of me didn't call them by monday (he did unfortunately, and ukraine popped off two months later). About 2 months ago the dealer contacted me and said they were giving everyones money back who they couldn't see fulfilling their allocation within a year. In the end, I ended up getting a performance variant tesla, which is obviously a very different kind of car but fulfilling in its own ways and very fast. The buying process being completely on an app and no haggling or ADMs is refreshing. Unfortunately, if you haven't had a history with your porsche dealer there doesn't seem to be a way to get GT products. I think I'm going to be going down the performance EV route in the future as the wheezy, boosted, hybrid ICE future doesn't seem appealing to me.
I saw that blue on a gt3 at Hendrick in Charlotte. What an amazing car and so damn good looking.
Pointless vehicle for most situations. Really fascinating to see it being out-accelerated by an S though! Great video!
Wow I actually think that's one of your better videos. Congratulations on making lemons into lemonade. I love the race car feel of it but like you said it's hard to live with.
Nice 993 in the garage
Just saw your video. Love the color as well
The footage around 8:30ish, next level! Well done!
Fully agree! It gives me cinematic Gran Turismo vibes.
Why do you record in 4k60? I don't really see the point except for b-roll or sports or whatever...
I agree with the colour, I picked Guards Red
I really enjoyed this video! And happy to see how excited Nick was in the beginning of the video!!
no front but who needs 4k 60fps on vlogs? 30fps is more than enough tbh.
btw. you forgot to put the car owners instagram link in the description.
Oh god that soft touch plastic dash. What package changes that to leather???
Awesome color and wheels
I think smothering it with alcantara and a GTS badge will solve the drivability issues.
Thanks Nick, revs revs revs, wow, thanks Hans.
8:07 every german cell inside me yells
"NEIN, NEIN NEIN"
when i see american left & right lane overtaking chaos on highways 😁
Great job Nick.
Thank you very much! Liked, subscribed and shared. My absolute favorite TH-cam channel by far.
Sacrilege lol. To spend 12K on this PTS and not finish it with orange belts and calipers? It would have been bit of homage to Steve McQueens 917
Really looking forward to that Volvo 120B review!!
Are those OEM wheels? They’re gorgeous!
Maybe it’s different in the NE but my local dealer still has 40 people on the GT3/ Touring lists and has stopped taking additions. They will likely not be getting anywhere close to 40 more allocations. Probably 12-15 car have already been delivered. And that’s in a somewhat high volume store. Not as much as the bigger names but still.
Porsche is also building less cars than they were 5 years ago.
awesome color ,,,
GT3 is maybe too racy looking but it’s inevitable progression. What a blue tho !
Hope the touring has better audio Nick
Thanks Nick. Baby blue suits you well 😎
I’ve driven some sporty cars, but nothing this sporty that is mainly made for track use. I wonder how much I would really enjoy it for driving around. If I could buy one of these I’m sure at least 99% of the time I’d be driving on the road, not track. I guess I’d have to rent one for a few days to figure out if it’s really something I could live with
love the colour, and the duck tail, make it bigger and take off the rear wing..heaven
How would you remove the boost restrictions on a base 911?
Nick, I think you are spot on with this one. GT3 is an awesome track focused car. Thanks!
This lovely baby-blue GT3 looked amazing in 4K on my iPhone with bad rural cell reception. Argh. Thanks for the review!
Hi Nick, what what is the easiest way to remove the turbo restrictions on a Carrera 992?
When you mean boost restrictions do you mean tuning ? What are your thoughts on doing it to a 992 gts?
Hey Nick, great video, great car..! Was just wondering if you will be doing anymore Helicopter reviews? I would particularly like to see a feature on the Eurocopter / Airbus... EC135 / H135. Would love to see a detailed video on the start up procedure & of course all the features of the aircraft & flying over some nice scenery..! Keep up the good work..!
I would like to know your thoughts on the GT3 Touring, with a manual transmission, of course. Is this a daily driver?
Do an impression video about new carrera T 992
Isn't the GT3 production limited by carbon emissions? The can only sell as many as Taycans can offset in terms of emissions to make the fleet average acceptable?
Great video Nick, loving the 35mm lens. Yes the GoPro 10 is excellent but it does cut out when using high resolution I’ve found so you end up with missing video at times.
Can you do something on the 718 Boxster S ?
The low down angle is cool, its like your in a race sim
Congratulations to the owner for his understated spec 👍
Thanks for the videos Nick. I found your advice very helpful when I got my C2S. Keep it up 😁
Any chance Porsche makes a naturally aspirated GTS 4.0 version for the current 911 range like they did for the end cycle of the Boxster/Cayman?
Great review and a bonus explaining the Porsche line up. I wonder what is required to remove boost restrictions? Does the computer have a tune for that, and simply increase fuel, or do you need new injectors, new fuel pump, a tune, a new warranty company, etc..? Thanks
Love how most of the reviews start by escaping Bridgeport.
The electric steering has more response due to the use of more stiffer ball joints you said?interesting.
Great Vid Nick. Always good information
BUT
not sure about the ordering and availability of the gt3 in the U.S, but for sure in europe - a dealer has to offer you one.
You absolutely cannot just walk into a dealer and place a order.
In Australia - its almost no chance of even getting an offer unless you are a long term Porsche "client"
Client meaning - you have spent in excess of $1M au and or have bought your past models from them and then either traded them in for newer models or have had them onsell them.
As mentioned once before, The U.S porsche set up seems to be very different to how the 911's are made available elsewhere around the world.
In australia we get extremely limited numbers and wait times are ridiculous.
ALL 911 future sales and orders are currently closed.
They are still trying to deliver Jan 2021 orders - with no real timeline.
Good point Nick re the centre locks on Turbo's etc. How is normal 'Joe Public' meant to take his/her wheels off!!! I'd much rather prefer the 5 bolts!
Nick, any thoughts on Sensatec vs leather? Thanks
Thank you for the review , I fully agree with you , no need for large wings on normal everyday use 👍
They put the center lock on the Turbo and Turbo S so you have a giant pain in the @$$ changing them
As capable in track that the GT3 is, it is like you say, not a road car. I’m more intrigued by the new Carrera T.. Shame the T doesn’t come with the 718 Spyder / Cayman GT4 NA 4.0L engine.. its 414 hp output would put it between Carrera and Carrera S.. and possibly reduce weight in a meaningful way being a lighter engine without the turbos.. just a thought..
Thanks for not shooting me down with that comment! 😄I owned a 718 Spyder for 8 months and did 4000miles.. I really regret selling it.. fantastic engine! However it is essentially a bored out 3.0 from the Carrera anyway and should slot in with ease. Just need a shorter set of gear ratios!
Thoughts on the new Carrera T Nick?
What is not to like?
Nick, what do you think about the new 911 T? Better than S?
Yah, Nick's back!!!! I was getting withdrawal symptoms !
What is the classical music that plays at the start?
Dear Nick (y), only a girly man finds the GT3 or any other Porsche GT too hard. And by girly, I am not meaning this in the Sabine Schmitz way... LOL! Seriously, "daily" means another thing for every other person anyway. I don't need my car for work as I take my pedelec to commute to the office (7 minutes) . But every weekend and midweek, I. blast to our second home in my 718 Spyder using only backroads. It's glorious. Tonight after work, I passed via a small road crossing a field with orange flowers. That smell made my day even better than it was already! And another thing: you getting in and out of the buckets is plain wrong. Always use one hand on the doorsill to ease your weight in or out.. And finally: mine is Racing Yellow, your favorite! 🙂
Great video. Nice color on the car. makes me really happy that you use the Mouse. ;)
Beauty of a car Nick. Thanks for posting
Hi Nick, great video, in your opinion, do you think you can purchase this vehicle straight from the dealer and not pay the exorbitant amount that they’re asking secondhand or have to buy 3 other Porsches? Thanks
Thanks Nick! Tell Hans youtube thanks him for sharing his wonderful car!
