A truely amazing car. I saw one up close at a car show in my town and it was such a beautiful machine. Porsche really out did them selves with this one.
He's doing something called "Double Clutching". This rev matches the gears inside the transmission to the engine. Race cars and race clutches have stiff plates which allow for aggressive handling, but also causes more stress on components. Therefore, Double Clutching reduces wear & tear on the syncro, engine, clutch, etc. It also sounds freaking amazing!
it's incredible...this video was recorded 17 years ago in 480p and the sound of the v10 in this video is better than in any carrera gt video recorded on 1080p or 4k
"blipping" is a commonly used term for rev matching on a downshift. When done properly and quickly, the engine is quickly changing to a higher RPM and it sounds somewhat like a "blip." I don't know. And with this beautiful exhaust on this CGT, it sounds amazing!
for down shifts, it's pretty much necessary (he is double clutching to rev match). For up shifts... it isn't required because of synchros. Blipping with up shifts is usually a nice way to introduce the next gear... but not meant for fast shifting (such as in a race, notice he doesn't do it with each up shift)... and with a car like this, it sounds awesome.
Though every supercar owner deserves their car because they worked hard for the money, I feel VRAlexander deserves his car even more considering how good of a driver he is. He's not just some rich guy who bought a $400,000 Porsche, HE CAN DRIVE!
The Carrera GT with AWE straight pipes is underscribeable... i had one for 5 hours when doing a photoshoot and WOW it gets attention and made me smile for days!! :) the sound is incredible I believe there's no car matching this.. sick!
OMFG Thank you so much for filming this, my fudging dream car!!!! Absolutely love every sound that beauty makes, you handle it so well man (Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear said its a beast to handle is that true?) Your video makes me so jealous, just knowing that even if Porsche Still Manufactured the Carrera GT, I would never be able to afford one.....:( Thank you so much for the video, its so nice to see a video that puts the car first and has no music or talking (audioable talking) thanks :)
this car is FAST. Alot of the time, hes taking off in a higher gear, and it just pulls! Definitely one of my favorite supercars. Amazing sound and performance, and of course it looks beautiful. Wait not beautiful.... Menacing!!!
@MrBlackops28 yes after 1282 gt Porsche stopped the production because of a a leak of potential buyers. Porsche aimed to sell 1500 gt. But look forward to the new 918 he's awesome. 0-100km/h under 3 seconds with the help of two electric engines. have fun
that man? is deceased..what a better way to go than the way he drove that monster..hope he took no one else when he exited best sounds ever..rest in peace those who have tried to master the Carrera GT...I think Brian has another video of a Carrera GT that is similar to this.
@1nazchan It is placed there for quick transitions from your hand on the steering wheel to the shifter.... proper driver's set up... proper driver's car
I heard rumors this Carrera GT wasn't even his to begin with. AND thanks to all these videos, he helped de-value the car by putting those pipes on it, and by putting all those miles on it, including the wear-and-tear factor...anybody else hear anything similar?
I meant automated transmission, which actually is the paddle shifter, not an automatic gearbox. There is a big diference. Automated means it`s a classic transmission with a robotic mechanism for changing gears via electronic controls.
@yegershot he died at 1st Annual Spectre 341 Challenge in Vegas, on June 26 I think. Riding his silver 996 TT... he was a great guy and his CGT vids are legendary at youtube.
well the engine was originally developed for LeMans ... but I agreee. Best stock sound ever. But I could argue that it isn't a car but a goosebumpgenerator.
it is modified if it is 730hp, and more then straight pipe and ECU plus if you put straight pipe in a car you must tune the ECU so you wont get check engine light, heating problem, or ther is ant enough backpressure in the exhaust it is stock rims just powder coted matt black
Sound like a V10 F1 car , but i dont think a car like this needs Straight Pipes , i mean the stock exhaust already makes alot of noise , this is just a-social , not that i dont like the sound tough :D
You are correct. I Believe it was the porsche designers idea, so that you would not have to move you hand around. Look carefully and you'll see its on the same "line" as the wheel.
I wonder how incredibly hard it is to tame one of these beasts. Saw one prowling through a parking lot a while ago and it was clear that the owner was having a hard time controlling the clutch with wheelspin, smoking tires and near-stalls.
Yo BrianZuk. Can you give Alex this message? Thx: When I come to Cali, can you demonstrate the power of that car once more for me? I would pay just to ride in that joint! Much more if you ever decided to sell your monster Porsche Carrera GT. For some reason, yours is the best sounding in the US...as far as I know! Holla!
He wasn't heel & toeing or double-clutching. He was attempting to rev match his downshifts and for some reason blipped on a few up-shifts (pointless). Heel & toeing only works when your are simultaneously braking and downshifting from speed. Clutch as usual, right foot toes on brake and right foot heel on throttle depending on pedal layout. Top-hinged pedals sometimes work better when you throttle with your toe. Tomorrow's lesson: How to not stall your supercar when the light turns green.
This car engine makes me cry! Who needs a car radio when we can have this!! This is virtualy the only car in the freakin world I would spend (if I had it) some millions of euros in it! Required: Euromillions first and solo totalist; Porsche's producing one for me; And a pack of paper handkerchiefs to dry my eyes out every time I shifted it into second gear! Porche Carrera GT...the only car in the world that can actualy relate to the coment...music for your years!
no it isn´t stupid....the shifter is not far away from steering wheel. That means your hand is away from steering wheel as short as possible during shifting. correct me if i´m wrong
Old but gold.
***** Old? It's like only 11 years or something.
in todays world thats old. Heck even Iphones get replaced once every 2 years
Old, really?
One of the best vids I ever watched first on TH-cam
* Best Looking Porsche I've ever witnessed in my life. Period.
5 Stars!!!

I got chills when he was accelerating, this car is amazing.

A truely amazing car. I saw one up close at a car show in my town and it was such a beautiful machine. Porsche really out did them selves with this one.

Porsche did a wonderful job on the location of the shifter.

VRalexander is the best owner of CGT!
@MrBlackops28

Did you hear the sound of that exhaust at 1:38 when he blex past that Lexus SUV? Gangsta!!!!
that man? is deceased..what a better way to go than the way he drove that monster..hope he took no one else when he exited
best sounds ever..rest in peace those who have tried to master the Carrera GT...I think Brian has another video of a Carrera GT that is similar to this.
Rick Cosmo he did not die in the CGT he died while hill climbing in an 1000 hp 996 tt rebuilt. I know I'm late :)
that is the most incredible sound I have heard from a sports production car.

This was taken somewhere in Walnut Creek. I remember taking a picture of this in 2007 after I saw the Simpson's movie at the Century Theaters
amazing car sounds really impressive
I heard rumors this Carrera GT wasn't even his to begin with. AND thanks to all these videos, he helped de-value the car by putting those pipes on it, and by putting all those miles on it, including the wear-and-tear factor...anybody else hear anything similar?
Sweet Brian...:D love the sound when Alex blips the throttle
Best Porsche ever, Best sound ever.

Wow that thing must be sooooo much fun to drive!!!
it is modified if it is 730hp, and more then straight pipe and ECU

@kutansky VRAlexander passed away in a car crash in his modified 911 turbo in some sort of hill climb event almost 2 years back... :(
Yeah I saw it haha, awesome!
sounds really good
GT for sure.
nicest sounding car out there
RIP VRAlexander.
Remember, speed can kill.
Manual shifts with a high revving V10 naturally aspirated.

OH SHIT! Thats Walnut Creek, CA right!?! I live less than 5 mins from where this video was taken! Awesome vid by the way! 5/5 for sure.
HOLY SHIT! sounds like a straight up F1 car! love it!
I could listen to that noise allday :)
no it isn´t stupid....the shifter is not far away from steering wheel. That means your hand is away from steering wheel as short as possible during shifting. correct me if i´m wrong
The perfect sound!
