I feel slightly depressed that a nearly 2 year old car hasn't even passed its break-in period yet.

Sounds like Cars & Bids needs to send you to ATL for a Porsche driving experience. You get a full 1.5hrs of putting the car through its paces and it's glorious!

[@AlanisKing]

I would loooooove that

[@Kimsey47]

It's not that crazy expensive especially compared to the 'drive a super car around a track' thing. With Porsche you get a helluva lot more time with the car and learning its performance capabilities! Appreciate the response, thanks Alanis!

[@AdamAuxier64]

Finally got a 911 4S Targa allocation last month. Irish Green with heritage interior. I CANNOT WAIT!

[@AlanisKing]

That rocks!

[@AbandonedRaven]

I’m absolutely obsessed with this car. I prefer this a bit more than the normal GT3, and something about this really draws me in. It’s so clean and sleek, performs amazing, and just looks so timeless. And I love how you could add rear seats if you really wanted to (like how Seen Through Glass did with his GT3). And seeing all 3 variations of this GT3 in person and being in them, I just love the Touring so much. I can’t remember the last time I’ve liked a car this much that wasn’t from the 80s or 90s. With this particular spec however, not a big fan of the black wheels and clear taillights, but that’s just my preference.

[@AlanisKing]

I feel so similarly. I think about the normal GT3 daily

[@Looney21]

While this car is awesome, I don't think I would own anything newer than a 997.2. The 991 generation kind of started the whole "let's not drive it and make it a garage queen" phase of Porsche ownership. I just don't think Porsche builds these cars for enthusiasts any more. The tech, power and handling are all there and the engineering is out of this world...but these are out of reach for the majority of true enthusiasts. I drive the wheels off my 996 and I can work on it as well!

[@AbandonedRaven]

@@Looney21 I genuinely couldn’t care less about that kind of stuff. And in my opinion I just didn’t like how modern Porsches looked without the long taillight. And I just think the 991 looks a bit off. If I had one I want to daily/drive it as much as I could. And the new 992 GT3 RS doesn’t seem like a garage queen car at all. Maybe the buyers may do that, but the car itself isn’t with that kind of performance. To discredit myself though, I wouldn’t buy one from a dealer. Trying to buy one brand new seems like a huge hassle and wait…I just want the car, if I had the means to get one. Even though I don’t like the 997.2, I do know someone with one and they’re cool (same with the 996). I can understand the issues with the brand or the collectors/those on social media, but their cars are still amazing to me. I really feel like they got the 992 right. And cars before the 991 like the 911 R from 2016 are the same way. They’ve always had super rare unobtainable versions of the 911. Even the old 930 Turbo S Sonauto that’s like 1 of 10 or something like that.

[@Looney21]

@@AbandonedRaven kind of exactly what I said.The new cars are engineering marvels and are, by far, the best performing 911's EVER! However, the vast majority of the GT cars sold now do NOT get driven regularly and are bought by the wealthy as an investment or for bragging rights. Even though they are the most capable Porsche's ever built. Most original owners of 991 and 992 GT cars have never tracked them and probably don't even know how to properly drive the cars spiritedly. That is sad because Porsche could easily make them more affordable to a lot more true enthusiasts, but the whole greed and money grab thing prevents Porsche from doing so.

[@Looney21]

Oh and the 996 and 997 (to a degree) are more true driver cars. The 996.1 has no "nannies" save the very basic traction control and the 997, while it has more mannies, it can still be driven like it doesn't. I have nothing against the newer cars and if I win the lottery tomorrow, you can bet there will be a 992 GT3 in my garage. But honestly, my base 996.1 will still be my favorite and the 996 will forever be my only dream car.

here for the Alanis frunk fit test

[@AlanisKing]

Thank you so much

[@sinistros6666]

When I buy a car, it's the most important feature: does Alanis fit in the frunk/trunk? 🙂

[@tedadamgreen]

Great video … glad you didn’t chance closing the frunk And “interesting” was a VERY diplomatic way to describe the start/stop … wow Thanks!

[@AlanisKing]

Hahahaha! Thank you

[@David-lt2fq]

Alanis, For the most pleasure next drive in a manual GT3 do the following as soon as you start it: 1) turn off auto stop, 2) turn on sport exhaust on the touch screen; or better yet, just turn it to sport mode on the steering wheel! Enjoyed your video.

[@AlanisKing]

I would've figured out all those controls but had to GET OUT OF DALLAS because it was 4 p.m. on a Friday : )

[@muthukumaranc]

Great review Alanis!

[@carsandbids]

Thanks for watching

[@AlanisKing]

Thank you!

Dear Alanis K.!!! I loved your jacket from Leyton House Racing Company 🏎️, especially because they had one of the greatest F1 driver ever, the Brazilian Maurício Gugelmin 🇧🇷!! Thanks fro remembering!!

[@carsandbids]

Thank you so much!

[@AlanisKing]

LOVE Leyton House

[@frankierodriguez8661]

Hi Alanis, thanks for another cool one. Well, among the 911 line up, this could be easily the one for enthusiasts. completely under the radar but still a GT3, which means, probably the best sports car ever conceived. You want smoothness and touring luxury mixed with wild speed, the Turbo is for you, and the cheapest model, the most simple Carrera is already a phenomenal automobile with the perfect balance between performance, luxury and practicality (for a single guy or a couple with no children) but The GT3, particularly the Touring, which I prefer for being discreet, is really a wolf in sheep skin. a dormant beast and opposite from the italian makers, Porsche engineers make sure you visit your garage just barely for the basics. The best car hosted by the prettiest girl. Win win I'd say. Much love as always from West Spain! 😉

[@AlanisKing]

I'm so glad you enjoy. Much love!

[@Looney21]

it is sacrilege that this is a 2 year old car with only 800 miles on it. DRIVE THE DARN CAR!!!

[@reclusive78]

My pet peeve watching Alanis getting in the trunk/frunk of cars was that she never takes her shoes off! Glad to see that she finally took her shoes off!!

[@AlanisKing]

I judge based on the inside of the frunk/frunk area - a lot have the rubber mats, so the shoes don't leave any marks at all

[@reclusive78]

@@AlanisKing Thanks for clarifying that! I keep my car really clean both inside and out, my OCD kicks in if i see scuff marks or fingerprints anywhere on my car.

[@AlanisKing]

Don't worry, every car is returned to its owner in the condition they gave it

[@Madness-te7dr]

Alanis! Did you find the ride to be stiffer than the 991.2 GT3RS you drove? I’ve seen many mixed opinions on the ride quality of the new 992 GT3. Seems that the 991.2 GT3 is the best for road use because of more comfortable suspension. Would love you to review one of those and compare some aspects! Keep up the good work!

[@AlanisKing]

I always find it hard to compare when I'm not driving back-to-back, and I was so distracted with the acceleration on the GT3 RS that I can't actually remember! The ride is pretty stiff on the GT3 though, so it's definitely one you want to drive to get a feel for before buying

There should be a second cup holder for the passenger that pops out by the glove box (unless that’s deleted on GT3s like the seats). But why are you drinking in a GT3? And holy moley, only 800 miles in two years? For shame. I never buy or drive a car for “the next owner.”

[@fredburley9512]

Not bad. Good review. Prefer the older stying with the chrome and black rubber embellishments. Car looks a bit faceless now like lots of modern takes. The embossed leather Porsche badge does look cool, though. You need to get in a trunk Alanis and be driven around town whilst in the trunk then see how it feels after when you get out. This would add a new dimension to your review. Lol. Happy motoring 😊☎️

[@LuisGrados-w7m]

The configurator is hilarious. You can build one to your hearts content. But you can’t have it.

[@elliotbradley4900]

I so relate to your configurator excerpt. I ISED to spend lotsa time on www ferrari too, until I drove a Carrera (I likes me a RWD 6-7 Speed manual GTS (strassen version) powered by GT3 N/A mill, weight stripped with rear wiper & a 'Targa' top too. Color match mirrors - H.O.K. 'apple red' over like metallic champagne(silvery-gold-ish) on 18 inch fuchs-esque wheels and carbon front splitter slightly larger (wide) ducktail spoiler & a rear diffuser. The keen among you may notice the configurator does not allow for this particular (read: near perfect) configuration, bummer, eh :(

[@TheHookBoy]

Alanis, I just wanted to say that your quirkiness and delivery style actually made this video therapeutic. I couldn’t resist smiling as you geeked out during this review.

[@AlanisKing]

That makes me so happy! Thank you!

[@danmel3978]

a gts has more torque and is faster to 0-60 and the quarter mile, it just seema kinda foolish to get a gt3 with no wing when you can get a gts for much cheaper unlesz you just love the sound

Anecdotally the majority of the corvette owners I've spoken to at meets and cars n' coffee know very little about their cars and certainly have never tracked them. There are a few porsche people like that, but most of them I've spoken to are on their 5th or 6th porsche, are passionate about the car and brand and drive the crap out of them, (aside from a few who own very rare models - but those guys have porsche that they actually drive).
