- A street legal race car, it goes without saying that the Porsche GT3 can deliver the true motorsports experience when it comes to both outright performance and feel behind the wheel. But as it is street legal, what’s it really like for daily use?

Some of these car enthusiasts need to understand that these new DCTs can shift more efficiently than any man ever could under most circumstances.
Did a automotive reviewer just say a manual box is for neanderthals? WTF?! I BET MY LAST DOLLAR HE WAS BORN IN THE LATE 90s.
Please mail me your last dollar then. Try 1979. :-P
Colum Wood dang it... lol
But he is right, for a sports car driven on the road just for fun a manual transmission is great. Also it I'd great when you can do heel and toe and all other stuff I can't tell in English. But if you just want to be fast the PDK is a lot better, the extra weight does not matter, due to all wheel steering.
6:09 Putting a car into neutral is probably the last thing you'd want to do while understeering. You'll need that engine brake for traction. Braking would also help alleviate understeer and would not make it worse. It may send more weight forward, but ultimately slowing down the car, reducing the steering angle, or applying sudden throttle to get the car to rotate (on RWD cars of course) are your only options to alleviate understeer as it is actively occurring.
Strippers like antiques, I always see them with 70 year olds.
Lol
Frozen Canuck Patrick James hahahaa
That clutch disengage feature is pretty bad ass. Go Porsche!
clutch kick!
2023; still some fans of the 991.1 GT3 around?
can we stop giving fuel economy numbers for a car that cost that much, because i doubt the person buying it will ever be concerned about fuel prices.
The ending argument for those people who can't stand that the GT3 is automatic only consider these two things:
The GT3 is now so good that you cannot extract all of its performance with a manual gearbox. This is undeniably true.
So what you say? You don't care about the last 2/10th of a second performance? Then get a Cayman GTS in manual.
/argument
Best driver's car ever made!
Am i the only one that would prefer to have a clutch and row their own gears like a 20 th centure neadethol over a paddle shift system? If i want easy automatic driving i ll buy a Malibu instead. Yes i know the dual clutch is quicker but who cares really?
How I wish that PORSCHE will make a PURE manual and a more AGGRESSIVE look porsche 911 GT3 in the near FUTURE. GOING BACK TO YESTERDAYS BUT A MORE FASTER PURE MANUAL PORSCHES!!!
Automatic = boring. Keep the automatic for the SUV
Some of the people are fuxking crazy,yes AT is boring,I fuxking hate it but not for the GT3,M5,GTR etc those are talking bout 400,500 horsepower man,bikes are automatic too,go laugh at them and say"haha bitxh are u driving an auto?"
Funny thing about seeing a Porsche 911 at a Home Depot. I was parked next to a guy who loaded a few 2x4's into the driver's side window of his black 911. The lumber pieces were sticking out the window about 2 feet or so. Didn't bother to tie or strap them down, nor attach a red or neon warning flag to aid other drivers. What an idiot. You'd figure a guy who can afford a car like this can afford the $20 an hour truck rental from Home Depot.
Glad someone FINALLY discussed them paddle neutral feature. That seems like it would end all complaint about manual gearboxes' fun factor.
This is a street legal track car. Get over your stupid H-patterns. They're slower and more error prone. You buy this car for lap times at the circuit, not cruising. If you want that, go buy a Carrera or Targa.
Well your definitely no Chris Harris when it comes to car reviews. And he would never disrespect stick shifts in fact he would probably do donuts around you in a stick shift while your doing donuts in that GT3 with its DCT.
Reviewing a GT3 without driving it on track just doesn`t make a lot of sense. Sorry. I know you were not allowed to. Still enjoyed the video.
Finally someone talks bout the new PDK future were u can pull in the paddles an put it in neutral and then let go just like what u will do in a manual cal love the new future i will call it burnout mode great review +AutoGuide.com
GT3 is in my all time top 5 favourite/dream car list. Only if i could afford this i would drive it 24/7.
Lol I knew he was going to make the joke about how the GT3's engine catches on fire.
I am watching this in 2024 and going to buy a 2015 GT3 soon :)
i cant accept the fact that i cant have this car, I CAAANT!
I can't respect an automatic porsche. I'll pass.
Then you can't respect driving in general, because there is so much more to it than rowing your own gears.
ewt415 like putting a car in drive and then what??? Just hang on for the ride... soooo engaging huh....lol cuz...no need to go back and forth.. you're not a car enthusiast.
ingineous Well, if you need me take your through a driving experience, then I will, seeing as you clearly have never driven anything over 25 miles an hour.
First off, how about the paddles? Still controlling your own gears. How about the steering? The grip of the front end? The grip and movement of the rear end? The way the car builds up power? The sensation of the car moving underneath you? The feeling of your body being an integral piece in the body of the car? The noise of the engine? The turn in? The exit? The lateral forces in corners? The degree of lean? The balance? The brake feel? The throttle response? I guess the ONLY thing an enthusiast needs to give a shit about is that manual gear lever right? No, YOU'RE not a car enthusiast if you think that. You're only a manual gearbox enthusiast. Nice try.
ewt415 gosh...A novel of garbage. It's obvious you have not a clue on being a purist and true enthusiast. Automation separates man from machine. Algorithms allows a driver to hand over strategy and talent for a simple ride on rails. Motortrend's current driver's car is the camaro... why..hmmm maybe it was the only 1 that truly challenged his skill. I'm a subaru fanatic...but I had to agree that the excessive tech was a turn off...He Randy even said he had to toggle with various settings before he could enjoy it even in the slightest. From the days of group b to the great touge. ..Real drivers make or break records ...not the car itself. When cars were hand built and attention to detail was important. ..men built works of art and drivable masterpieces. ..today...globalization and sheer demand has forced compromise and now cars are made by robots. ..
ingineous automation has brought down the value of cars and to equate. .. automation has diluted the driving experience. How can you seriously think you sound convincing by embracing technology that suppresses the driver's skill? The clutch pedal is important. .. you have to be a real driver to know your engine. Pdk isn't a manual no matter what you wanna fool yourself and think. O btw. The only person that has no real experience here is you. I grew up on a summit and my daily commute was up and down a mountain. ...and my current daily driver is a gc8 rsti that's currently on an e85 tune. So relax ....keep your automatic can't parallel park to save your life commentary to yourself. Real drivers get what I'm saying.
Id buy one if i could afford it. PDK and all.
Very honest comment. I would too.
AWESOME REVIEW!!! Colum is awesome!!!!
Thanks man!
Drive a Porsche with the PDK and reply back how impressed you are....
I have to call out the Z06(7) - I'd absolutely rank the GT3 top in its class.
I honestly think the Cayman is the Porsche done proper. Save your money and wait for the Cayman GT4, it will be the best track car of this decade. True mid-engine, similar power, lighter, same tech, lower cost and better looks.
just a race car thats why its good so it shoould be cost same as a house
First ! sickest car on sale
Fuel economy? WTF? Another rule- Don't date strippers. period. Went with Sapphire blue for the last of the 991 GT3 builds.
Hand row of cars is fascinating!
Since the row of cars is boring, it is driving up like a cancer ...
I was in Taiwan
I really don't get reviewers, sometime they complain when a car is not offered with a manual gearbox and other times they complain that manual are old fashioned and out of date...
Well if you like modern foreign cars than you might as well get use to dual clutch transmissions vs American beloved manuals . As far as Porsche is concerned it's about speed and less driver engagement. I rather haul ass vs manually shifting being slower on the track and road
I'd daily drive a gt3 over a turbo s, because of that HUGE price difference.
Don’t they catch fire ?
Man the 2014 and 2018 don’t even have a difference. I’d buy the 2014 over any of the newer ones
wow! its really one of the best reviews about 991 GT3, i like the PDK gearbox action part and comparing the car with other sport cars like GTR, this car is absolutely on top of my list and its gonna be my next car for sure, thanks.
SO.MUCH.WANT
Really nice... Too bad about all the fires and recalls...
Who buys a supercar and worries about gas?
Me 6 years later with an m3 that gets 13 mpg and wanting a GT3 for my new daily
i think this is the first review mentioning the both pedal neutral feature of the pdk.
i always wondered why no one else was mentionening it
I do enjoy the video and that sound of red line sure is addicting. I don't understand why porsche doesn't give the option for their purist car lover the Stick shift option. Pdk is good as I have tried on the s5, 135i m sport, a45amg. I am driving a manual wrx and though shifting gear by yourself is the fun of the driving experience but I guess most manufacturer like to phase out the Stick option for fuel economy.
They likely did not want to give their customers a half-assed manual gearbox, due to the fact that they cannot allocate as much of their budget onto the research and development of the manual transmission because of their customer base and sales figures.
997 GT3 (manual) is still the one for me.
3:30 sums up the excitement of the car with an automatic
Very excellent automatic clutch and good sound and a good design
Wow, donuts, I'm really impressed. Making videos for 10 year olds?
The person that did the "666" like is going to hell
does it have AC ? i think it doesn't but i just want to make sure
It does.
Yes 100% has it
G to the T to the 3....
Nice review. Well done.
That neutral thingy is TIGHT
This is the best car of the moment, no doubt about it!
Well i guess im a neanderthal then. Cant belive how lazy this world is getting. Theres nothing better than a good old manual.
Its this same fucking GT3 that cost Paul Walkers life, I HATE Porches now, I despise them, because of bad engineering a life was lost...and not because its Paul Walker, even if it were a bum on the street that test drove it, a life is a life
Sir he was in a porsche gt. A completely different car. And when you drive with 8 year old bald tires at 90 mph in a 40 mph zone you're gonna get a lot of overstear
This might be the dumbest comment EVER.
Shit for brains comment.
bear0134
Lol, I agree phuck head!
It wasn't the cars fault, 75% of ALL Porsches are still on the road. It was the bald tires and speeding that costed a life.
Home Depot, Hamilton, Ont?
I swear that in one of his reviews he was thankful that the test car came with a manual transmission.
For sure. I do love stick-shifts. And I also enjoy DCTs. I drive a stick every day.
Love it.
What's with the paint job? What's it called?
Baerchenization Guards Red
ERIC DAVIS Cheers. It looks really strange here (?)... btw, the other day a Porsche dealer told me that they stopped producing the GT3 last October - but you can still configure it online - what's the story with that?
limited production --I don't know why the option to build is still online… I have this exact build, except I have the PCCB's and it is an awesome machine. The color in person is very cool, will definitely grab your eye

Great review
No more "standard" GT3 available (2016). :) Just the RS now. :)
Yeah the 911 r will take its place..
ZenZory Overload Not likely. I heard the GT3 is returning in a 2017 model. The 911 R is based off of the GT3 RS and is a limited run of 700 cars...which I'm assuming have already been spoken for. Be good if they put the 911 R into production for "purists" and inclu the option for a PDK trans...some people don't want that HUGE wing on the back of the RS (me)...eye sore as a street driven car.
+Anderson C ohh thats great.....can I get your help with this I'm in the market for a new car I have a budget of 150k I want a super car with preferably
Awd which is not a gtr or Lamborghini gallardo. I have a good friend that works at an exotic car dealer and he has to cars for me a 2014 r8 v10 and a 2015 911 gt3 right now I'm driving the r8 for a week it's a great car but I'm holding out till I get to drive the Porsche which one would you pick?
+Anderson C 2 cars* sorry typing on a small ass screen
ZenZory Overload I'd go with a 911. I don't like the look of the current R8. Too many sharp corners in the design (e.g. lights). Just doesn't have the same lines as the previous gen R8 which is the one I would have preferred if I wanted an Audi.
AWD...911 Carrera 4s. Should be under $140k USD for sure. Maybe even the 911 Turbo.
Though, I don't know why you need to get a "supercar". These cars are more "sports cars" IMHO...a "supercar" to me is something leading edge and "inconvenient" like a Porsche 918, Bugatti's, Lambo Aventatdor, et.
Good luck.
Boxer engine? I thought it was a straight six?
Dude, Porsche 911s have had boxer engines since the dawn of time.
Yes, porsche has always used boxer engines.
***** I didn't realize that straight six and flat six was two different things. Always thought Porsches had straight engines.
DuudeWhatDoesMineSay A boxer is a 180 degree V6. A straight six is pretty much the opposite.
porsche with straight six would be machine for killing of young people
stopped watching after the neanderthal comment
first gt3 video I couldn't finish
2:57 the empty buttons in the centre is a reminder from Porsche that there is still a long list of options which you didn't check which should be standard on a car at this price tag
I have one and I love it
