I’m driving a 991.2 GT3 Currently Looking to pay up and get the RS Interesting- the aftermarket cost for both the 991.2 RS and the new standard 992 GT3 is virtually identical Despite the new double wishbone suspension I’m going with the older RS - like the older GT3 the car is more compact and more analog- to me this is appealing Not to mention the looks of an RS can’t be beat!!
@@PcarwhispererFYI I’m now in my new 991.2 RS- having owned both the .2 gt3 and now the RS I can say they are similar- yet not! The RS is faster (probably the lighter weight) and corners better It is rougher on poorly maintained streets though. On the track the RS has the edge too- although the gt3 felt amazing too. Had i the garage space and bank account-‘I’d own both (gt3 with manual) but to own one: the RS is the choice
@@keithrichards-io5dbI’m about to purchase a .2 RS as well. In fact, a lava orange WP just came up a Brooklyn auto sales today and it honestly may be the one for me. Has a roll cage and a Dundon exhaust / headers (I prefer stock), but it comes with the stock parts as well they said. Anyway, I’ve been scouring youtube for comparisons to the 992 gt3, but there are only a few videos directly comparing them and they haven’t given me the info I need haha. Have you driven the 992 gt3? Do you think the double wishbone really makes the front end that much better in the corners? I keep having doubts about my decision to get the .2 RS, but I do think it’s the one for me. The 992 gt3 just has so much hype around it, and experts say it handles even better.
@@shaunwitzler5482 i haven’t driven the 992 GT3. But I go to the track once a month and have questioned a couple of people who know both cars- one guy is an instructor, advanced driver, who currently drives the 992 GT3. The other guy is also an instructor, but also used to be a columnist for many of the car magazines that you and I probably read. Both have had chance to drive both cars. The first guy said he notices a minor difference but they are pretty evenly matched on the track. The second guy (mag writer) told me he thinks the 991.2 RS is the better car more for its driving feel. As I noted, I came to the conclusion to buy the RS because all things being equal I am not an advanced level track guy. I still drive novice and maybe move into the intermediate group soon and from what both people told me the difference in cars will be unnoticed by me. So because I like the more analogue car and because I just like the looks of the RS way more than the new GT3 I went with the RS. Call me shallow but it’s the looks that had me at hello. I didn’t do the full exhaust like the car you were looking at because I didn’t want something too loud, but I did replace the centre piece which keeps the valves inside exhaust. When you are at the track that car even without the side exhaust replace is plenty loud and screams like a jet engine. I don’t know how that compares to the 992 GT3 as I’ve only heard them from the outside when they went by on the track - but I can tell you that, my instructor (the guy that writes the magazine articles) commented that in his opinion my car is the best sounding car you can get without having a annoying sounding exhaust on the street. I agree - I think it’s amazing.
@@shaunwitzler5482 I go to the track once a month and have had two instructors Tell me that there is barely any difference in performance between the 992 GT3 and the 991.2 RS. To me then it came down to the looks. In fact, one of the instructors is a magazine columnist for automobile reviews. He told me that he personally prefers the RS in 991.2 era because it’s more analog. to me, it was all about how much better looking the RS is. But that’s really choice of taste not necessarily quantitative or logical. You have to make the decision based on what’s important to you, but I don’t think for most mortals the difference in performance is much different.
Gorgeous car! Love all the design details, inside and out. This car is a real head turner! Love the video graphics and perfect editing. My favorite video so far!
Another great video and really like the new format. I found the details of a RS vs standard GT3 differences very interesting and also how the new 992 GT3 compares.. shows why it is such a great car and in high demand. RS= Ren Sport
Great review. Cool to see a GT3 RS with the magnesium wheels. I have watched a ton of reviews on this car and don’t think I’ve ever seen one with them before.
RS=Rennsport. Great review again. I love running my Spyder up and down Live Oak and a GT3RS would be even better. If you are looking for rarer cars, I think there are only 50 Guards Red 981 Spyders in the US, if you ever need it for a video, let me know
This was very informative. Love the respect and passion you have for the brand. Did you say the new GT3 is faster? Wow. Imagine the 992 RS cars when they get released.
Thanks Bari! Appreciate the kind words! Yes that is right the new GT3 is faster by 1 sec over this RS! NUTS! With you there I am sure the new RS will shave another 7-10 seconds! 👍🏼
Subscribed! Great video content. Like the thorough approach to your reviews. I have a manual Boxster 25 anniversary in addition to manual M2 Comp, ND2 Miata, and S/C track duty S2000. My next P car is 991.2 RS or 718 GT4 RS, or 992 GT3…in this rank order of choice. Your thoughts on a comparison of these cars?
Thank you so much for the support 🙏🏼 Holy smokes that's a great line up!! Woow that's a tough one! How do you plan on using the car? Ive always been a 991.2 guy but with how amazingly the 992 GT3 drives I must say this one for me takes the cake specifically a touring model with manual transmission.. I love the overall engagement and just how confident I feel in the car. The 3RS would be a close second as it is the ultimate track toy! The 3RS is quite different from a 992 GT3 Touring so completely is how you plan on using it... track 3RS all day! Last but not least the 4RS overall I love the driving dynamics of how the Cayman Chassis feels as well as the thrilling sound of the 4RS but If I could choose one it would the the GT. Hope this helps... thanks again for the support!
@@Pcarwhisperer I would use the next P car for mostly track days with PCA and some road touring with friends. I don’t canyon carve much anymore as the track days fill that void.
Great question! I believe it is all how you would be using the vehicle? Track, morning runs, cars and coffee, road trips? I would personally probably go for the GT3RS 👍🏼
That is a great question it is about preference! I personally like the styling of the 991.2 over the 992 generation. Overall the tech in the 992 makes it a "better" car! But I am a 991.2 guy myself 👍🏼
Another super vid. RS = Renn Sport (Racing Sport). Love everything about the car except the Akra exhaust. It’s a Euro company so their products have to meet TuV (German equivalent of our EPA - but much more strict) noise standards, and we all know how strict noise levels are in Germany... Translation: Akra is barely above German OEM exhaust noise/sound levels, so Akra noise/sound, and ear candy is a fail for me. There are much better sounding after market exhausts out there. Trust me, I’ve owned several aftermarket exhausts; Akra (outside of their known great build quality and/or badge recognition) ain’t the bee’s knees when it comes to epic sound levels! Just trying to keep it real. YMMV. Cheers/B
@@Pcarwhisperer In my order of preference: Speed Tech, GMG, Sharkwerks, Fabspeed, and Soul Performance. I’ve owned the first four. All U.S. made. All the above exhausts offer best bang for buck exhaust systems. All other aftermarket exhausts are just expensive eye & ear candy for badge snobs and/or men who want bragging rights for spending a lot of money for an exhaust. Cheers/B
Love the looks, brutal to drive though, unless you drive it on the race track. Very stiff, especially the RS. Sold my 2015 GT3 after only 550 miles, I much prefer the turbo for street drive. Good video, and great info. Keep on keeping on!
@@perjohansson1258 Yes history is so important! If it wasn't for the cars of the past we wouldn't be where we are today! Classics are so cool and so special!
Dude, this is an awesome video, you hit this out out of the ball park. Now all you need is a pretty hot girl as your side kick and your views will sky rocket.
Things as stupid as moving the start finish line on a historical Raceway are the kinds of things that make me want to give up on life. Why must we screw up everything. Just why... Unbelievable how absurdly stupid that is. Let's just completely destroy our entire frame of reference for every production vehicle we have ever made and have ever had. The world's most recognizable lap time reference changed and is now nothing and means nothing to anyone.. Brilliant. Every metric on all of your favorite cars throughout history that you thought you could reference in some fashion now is useless. One decision destroyed an entire global population of data reference because the Cornerstone has been modified. Definitely a reflection of the times we are in. Idiots roaming everywhere making changes because "progress"
Excellent video It’s obvious how much you love Porsche thanks for sharing your passion!
Thank you 😊

Hey, would you advise to go in for this gen 992 gt3 or wait for the gt3rs ? I’d be Manual on the gt3 though
Great question! I believe it is all how you would be using the vehicle? Track, morning runs, cars and coffee, road trips? I would personally probably go for the GT3RS 👍🏼
Is this better than the current gt3 on sale ?
