    The howl of a Porsche flat 6 under hard acceleration is just glorious.

    Fun fact: my dad was watching this episode back in 2003 and just when they were about to show off the Porsche, which my dad looked forward to, my mom went into labour with me and they had to rush the hospital, so my dad missed it...

      I agree. The 996.2 GT3 is my favorite water cooled 911.

    Without a doubt the finest sounding six-cylinder motor of all time. This includes the RB26 and Ford 3.0 V6.

  • @modernworldiscrap

    the very first 996 GT3 mk1 is the coolest 911 of the last 20 years...

    I love this 2004 911 GT3 it's a fantastic car and it's epic and it looks beautiful and radically cool and awesome with it's beautifully raw and raucous flat 6 engine!!!
    One of my favourite sports cars ever from Germany!! Love Porsches!!

    Saw a newer model of the GT3 on the road the other day. They've gotten so much sexier. It actually had a look of ferocity to it that could finally hang with the Italian supercars.

  • @MiniOne82

    Shocking to know much the GT3 cost back then, compared to what it now. GT3 now at 40k would of been a bargain

    • @samueljones3668
      @samueljones3668 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Baz82 the engine cost 40k the GT3 at the time was 70k and a used one is climbing to 90k same price as a brand new midrange 911 4S.

  • @bicyclist2
    @bicyclist2 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I love 911's and have a unlce with a SC taga. The GT3 was the best 911. But now its got a PDK gearbox, so its much more of a track day car for people who don't know how to drive.

    • @bicyclist2
      @bicyclist2 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @jacobt1027

      christdragon The Gt2 rs is better.

  • @JETZcorp
    @JETZcorp 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @FISHURMOMBALL True, but the GT3 RS and GT3 are quite different. The RS comes with a completely different aero package, greatly reduced weight, and I believe a few extra horsepower as well. This makes the car about as distinct from the GT3, as the GT2 is from the Turbo (although perhaps not QUITE that extreme.) And, as you sort-of pointed out, neither of them have received a test on the track, which is where those two in particular are said to shine above the rest of the 911 lineup.

    • @LCdrDerrick
      @LCdrDerrick 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The older aircooled have been even meaner, croackier, more sawing, predestine, more genuie. An old suction 993 and a valve exhaust is music. Listen to a BMW E46 M3 CSL, that is together with the Porsche my favorite

    • @Ward1706
      @Ward1706 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's not my favourite, but is iconic. You could blind fold me and I could probably tell you it's a Porsche just by firing it up.

  • @Anurag_James
    @Anurag_James 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @mattblack77nz thats true, we are on the 997, but the key difference is the head lights. the 997 has circular head lights whereas the 996 had integrated turn signals on the headlight, that little extension on the insides of the the lens.

  • @ricardorusso1462
    @ricardorusso1462 8 ปีที่แล้ว +48

    And it costs (drumroll) FOURTY GRAND! It's amazing, nowadays you can't even buy a 3 series BMW with that much money XD

    • @thgerasd
      @thgerasd 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      +Ricardo Russo you could find solid condition 996's for ~15k+...can't even buy a civic for that much money

    • @ricardorusso1462
      @ricardorusso1462 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      i was refferin more to the inflation in car prices in the last 10 years. nowadays it would be unimaginable to buy a 911 for 40k

    • @Sundara229
      @Sundara229 8 ปีที่แล้ว +47

      +Ricardo Russo
      He was talking about the engine. The engine costs 40k, not the car.

    • @ScottZ370
      @ScottZ370 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Ricardo Russo Alot more technology goes into cars because people expect it now also the actual inflation over 10 years in general is quite significant.

  • @Stuntman175
    @Stuntman175 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @jack390 Nope, all 911's except the 1998 911 GT1 which was mid engined, are all rear engined and rear wheel or 4wd. If the engine is in front of the rear axle, how can they fit a set of rear seats? How come when someone opens the rear hatch, I can still see the intake manifold and cylinder heads?

  • @Anurag_James
    @Anurag_James 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Chris246t8kr That was what the original car was called. this cars model designition is actually the 996 GT3, but for the sake of tradition, its still called the 911 from the first one made in 1964

  • @Anurag_James
    @Anurag_James 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @iannGT2 i believe that the DeLorean had an engine that was mounted behind the rear axel, but you're right, there are few mainstream cars that are rear engine.

    @207053 It's all about saving weight.Ad this car is made for the track.If you want a car with all the stuff, but still gives out the same power it's the 911 turbo.This is not perfect for road driving but its perfect for the track.The 911 Turbo is Good at road driving and will still give you the times(close but not the same) you'll get from this.

  • @Raige24
    @Raige24 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Old videos are being uploaded so people who haven't previously seen these can watch them. Yeah we know their old but some of these episodes have entertainment value beyond just the reviews. Also if I'm not mistaken the crew just did review the new GT3 RS recently as par of their upcoming shows. They were in NY with a 458 and a white GT3 RS.

    @mattblack77nz this is the old one mate. This a is an old clip. the 997 (this one) isnt for sell anymore.

  • @Bmoney4206
    @Bmoney4206 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @JL3Wind 2.9 is quite impressive although with that time achieved by reviewers I think that they would have called it closer to 3.2 or 3 flat for their 0-60. But I'm not in charge of that. I did mean the 928 because there was something said to the effect that if the engine isn't out back it’s not a Porsche. So I threw up the 928 and I believe the 944 was also a FR V8 Porsche. It may have less power but their also lighter than a Mustang 10 years notwithstanding.

  • @Blueball0120
    @Blueball0120 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @XcitedMungoMan2010 This car was made around 2003-2004. GT2 RS was not made yet I think. Plus did you realize that this was the 996 model. Not the 997 model.

    From dict DOR org (see item 4):
    1. One who spoils; a plunderer; a pillager; a robber; a
    despoiler.
    2. One who corrupts, mars, or renders useless.
    3. (Aeronautics) A device attached to the wing of an airplane
    or other airfoil, which breaks the smooth flow of air...
    4. A device attached to a car to decrease lift and increase
    traction, usually shaped as a flat surface and attached
    above the rear of the car, and working on the same
    principal as the aircraft spoiler[3].

    *A stock exhaust GT3 996 sounds like a VACUUM CLEANER with a hamster stuck in it.*
    It needs longtube equal-length headers and side muffler deletes at the very least in order to give it that flat-6 high-pitch wail transition in the upper RPMs that is characteristic of the newer GT3 cars.

    @eins2001 you had better hope so. And the word would be faster, and if I may cheaper as well, leaving room for suspension upgrades and still being cheaper. I still like Porsche though how they manage to wring out more power out of them boxter engines every year is impressive.
