One thing I like about Porsche from this time is the GT3 RS and GT2 RS look like professional TUNER CARS, while the newer ones look like professional race cars. Subtle difference, has a huge visual affect. This car is classic. Love it!
Appreciate your comment and couldn’t agree more
I fully agree with this as well. That is a great way to put it bc it makes perfect sense, being in the car scene
agree 997 RS is so so raw and pure as a driver
Agreed my friend. I love that thing so much
@@MiamiMilesI have a GT3 Touring Dundon kit and 07 RS with just Dundon street headers thinking of doing full D4 like u … in Miami tomorrow with cruise returning … any chance u r around for 15-20 mins?
Owned and drove most of the Porsche's GT3, RS, from 73RS to 964rs to all models of GT3. I kept only one and that is my 3.8RS same as yours. One of the most enjoyable street experience for a car you can have. Only drawback is the shifting, which is average. After trying a lot of things I managed to improved it a lot by installing 996 Cup shift cables, and 996 Cup shifter. Best mods you can do to it.
I also need the D4 upgrades now that I see yours... ahah
Agreed with the shifting. I will look into the same shifter setup as you. Dundon D4 a must
just ordered D4 from Jamie … let’s connect and discuss
Would the shifter work on the non RS GT3?
Of course it is all the same between 997 GT3 generations.@@samwisee
@@samwisee yes works all manual 997
I love the 4.0 sound! It sounds Soo lovely Porsches for life ❤❤❤
Suede? Alcantara. And as someone else stated, there are two cup holders. There is a fold-down piece about 12" wide and 1.5" high right above the glovebox, and sometimes they get stuck. Once you fold it down, the cupholders can get stuck too. Nice video. I have a white 997.2 GT3. Thought about getting an RS, but my car is mint and paid for.
Dude your channel/content is so fun to watch. I’m 26, still haven’t got my first car ( currently still in school ) but, I hope someday God blesses me with the opportunity to own a 997.2 GT3 RS 🙏🏽
Thank you for your comment my friend. You will have one for sure as long as you get a skill and master it.
Next buy is a 997.2 GT3 for sure. If I had the $ for an RS it would be the obvious choice.
Best drivers car under $1M
More like best drivers car of all time.
Hope you get it. You won’t be disappointed with the .2 GT3
I own both the .2 gt3 and RS. I must say I prefer the gt3 over the rs, simply due to the aesthetics and narrow body characteristics. I’m also not crazy abt the chatter from the light weight fly wheel. The .2 gt3 is also the rarest gt3, with only around 250 (approx 10%) more produced than the RS
I've always been a fan of Porsche (VW brand), but this is the Porsche 911 I fell in love with (from NFS Hot Pursuit on the PS3). You feel how great it handles through the controller. I still can't get over these beautiful looks also. I'll take this over the 992.
Agreed. All day over the 992 for almost the same price. I don’t even know how it’s possible that someone buys a 992 over this
@@MiamiMiles Right... This is the more "DRIVER'S " car. The real tragedy is that I'm 6'5". So even I could afford it, I still couldn't fit😭😭
Same man 🥲 my fav spec was the blue and red one
@jouhajohnny great comment, that's a beautiful spec
@@MikeMcclendon1377 looked so good in the game
Dude, the loudness of that exhaust is the only f… way ta go great video love your passion
Thank you my friend
991.1 RS owner here. I must say the the 997.2 RS is and will always be stunning. In some ways it’s my kryptonite😂 congrats bro and 10000x win. SALUTE🙏💯
Thank you 🙏🏻 love the 991.1. Can’t go wrong with any RS
I certainly agree on its greatness. Mine is Aqua Blue with white gold accents and it does have 2 cupholders. I just flipped 60k miles on mine. I probably have 1,500 laps around VIR on it. Such a wonderful car.
60K miles? Wow. I hope to be able to drive mine that much. Love your spec. Congrats on experiencing one of the all time greats for so long.
Thanks
I'm gonna buy this and the 430 Scuderia at some point
The perfect garage
997 is the best model of the gt3rs so beautiful and underrated dude. This spec too is literal perfection, I hope to see one just like this in real life one day man
Come to Miami
@@MiamiMiles I wish 😩 I’m literally all the way across the US in Arizona unfortunately
Always insane videos
what made this car an instant classic is the size and shape. the modern porsches are very large cars, and the curves all sort of come together in a way to try and hide the size. The 997 has very accentuated lines over the wheels and headlights which really gives it style and personality.
Agreed. Comment on point
Bro, it has cup holders 8:40. Above the glove box, push the horizontal dash trim, two cup holders.
I've tried man. There's nothing there.
Your editors are top notch.
Thank you my friend.
4:38 ahaha I had the same reaction! Damn how good does it sound. It gives me goosebumps
It sounds that good. That’s me every time I drive it 😅
997.2 GT3 RS is the best P-car ever made, maybe even more so than the collection 4.0 RS.
Agreed my friend
Grey black.. best color available.
I love it
I have same grey/black as a PTS on a 2012 Targa 4S.. Rare and fun.... not necessarily crazy fast but all good!@@MiamiMiles
@@jimgraves665 Amazing color combo my friend. The 4S is an incredible car.
White Red is my favorite, but I am biased.
3:52 that engine comes to life ? More like that engine end lives. What a machine !!! 😍😍
Indeed
loved the vid man. That noise
Appreciate the comment
That exhaust note is orgasmic
As a current owner of a 997 GT3 RS I agree, it’s the greatest Porsche ever made. I’ve owned 30+ cars, nothing comes close.
Comment on point. I'm in love with it and will likely never sell it.
Good vid. I agree, this is a special car. Still analog. Not many on the mkt, and all hovering around $300K.😊
I know. Price point I think is a consequence of how rare and unique the experience is. I love it man. Thanks so much for your comment
@@MiamiMiles I love it too, but I don’t have the budget to bring g this home. Maybe if I win the lottery, I guess I better start buying some tickets
Late to the convo. The 997 GT3RS will always be the one and only for the pinnacle race inspired 911. I don’t care if the overhyped 992 is faster. It will never replicate the rawness and pure driving capability the Mezger platform had.
@@kakuja2977 comment on point. Reasons why I’m love with the car
Sick video! How do u keep the steering wheel so clean ?😂
Tio Pedro cleaning services
Oh snap just realized this prob the first proper tune drive!
Yes it is. Car drives so good no Tio Pedro
Dude this car I am sure it will be listed as the last 911
And I think that you should decently do the sharkswerks upgrade
It’s gonna happen for sure.
🔥🔥
Is faster than a 991 on straight line?
Nope
Dream car
I still have mine from 2011. Flat tires and a dead battery. I really should take it out lol
Please do it ASAP haha
How do you feel about about the Sharkwerks 4.1 package?
Gonna do it at some point…
Gota get this thing on the dyno…. Need to know what that Uber expensive dundon intake does. Also, who’s or what throttle body do they run with the bigger opening?
They run a bigger opening for sure. Idk the diameter though. I’ll get it on the dyno soon 👍🏻
No cup holder in the GT3RS? why not what is in that space?
It just doesn’t have any haha. No cup holders at all.
Does the gt3 not have cup holders above the glove box trim?
This one does not
prefer the .1 version. but splitting hairs. great car mate
Thank you my friend
Unreal! You are Correct! The real steering rack….
🙏
@@MiamiMiles So Great! Thx….
'Spoken about 500 to 1000 years from now' 😜
We’ll all be dead and my car will be in some museum 😂
How much faster is the 4.5 gt3 over the 997.2 RS and the 458?
Significantly faster than the RS and about 10% faster than the 458.
@MiamiMiles is your 458 stock? Funny I was considering trading my 458 for your 4.5 gt3 and then fell back in love with it after your video! Haha but my 997.1 gt3 with d4 street power package it is my favorite car to drive, sounds sooo good.. my 458 is tuned, exhausted lowered, sounds incredible, not too many cars look better, it's faster than my gt3 997.1 but nothing is more fun to drive than a 997 gt3 anything!
man how I want a 997.2 over my 991.1 soon
Don’t blame you… for me a better driving experience
Sic spec, love sleepers
Thank you bro
@@MiamiMiles I've got Cayman Black Edition, sleeper Cayman R, only 500. 8)
@@ej2863 that car is sick. Congrats
@@MiamiMilesthx, small size of older Cayman great for the caynons
4:31 Holy Sh... wrooooooooooooommmmmmmmmm ... it.
Thank you my friend.
@@MiamiMiles You're welcome! The first 911 I drove was a 997.2 modded to the RSR specs, by some french specialist. Such a glorious metallic engine noise. Yours under that bridge reminded me of that sound.
What do you do for work again?
Owner at LaceUp Solutions and Fastr Media.
Mine has cup holders
Mine doesn’t 🥹
Cup holder’s in the dash
Everyone keeps telling me this… not in my car 🥹
Sweeter Than Yoo'Hoo ...
beast of all beasts
Facts
I prefer the 911 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0
Not a bad choice ;)
You need to take the car to the tail of the dragon or around that area, Rent a house and have some fun
Yes I do…. Miami just has the highway at night lol
