[@joshreynolds729]

For 300k I would like 1000 hp to its 2023 with ev knocking on the door🤣. That to me is purity and perfection. Probably would pick the faster gt3, I can always make the exhaust sound better because to me they aren’t equipped with enough power anyways.

@@joshreynolds729 The exhausts sound the same between the 2. It’s the induction noise that is way louder on the GT4 RS because the air box is literally a foot from your head. Exhaust would help but induction is what you experience the most as a driver.

[@888mf4]

This is a great format. I spent time in both cars last year in the Italian Alps and found the GT3 more planted and more settled, however the GT4 RS put a bigger smile on my face. If you need a car to use daily you'd have to go for the GT3 but if you want the ultimate road car for weekends and special occasions the GT4 RS would be my choice.

[@zarodkiewicz]

I like when Matt is blocking the fast lane and yells at the car undertaking him 'Matt' is the new name for 'Karen' but for blocking lanes. 🤣

[@amirulzamir]

Exactly.. Matt was like “we’re getting undertaken by that idiot”. Meanwhile I’d imagine the driver of the other car probably went “this fucking british lane hogger”

[@lordflint6964]

One of ur best videos for this year till now!!! I thoroughly enjoyed it ❤🎉

[@wearethetraffic]

The reality is the 4RS is the better car of the two. However it was always intended to not overshadow the 911, thus the narrower track, less power and so on. Despite the mid engine chassis, the 4RS will be the more historic car relative to a normal GT3. The 3RS is of course an entirely different ballgame

[@jbt82se]

There is s reason Porsche scrapped the MacPherson struts in the front of the 992 GT3 (and on the race cars long before that). The GT4 as struts front and back which is not ideal on a sports car.

[@Vincent_Stevens]

​@@jbt82seAll to make it slower than their flagship track car. We all know what the 4RS could do with Double wishbones all round 😂

[@AB-fr2ei]

Porsche should accept that the Cayman should be equal alongside the 911

[@SihE-qj1mo]

No, GT3 is a better track car without a doubt. On a much shorter circuit, at the Hockenheim GP, GT3 nailed it with 1:45.8 while GT4 did it 1:47.6 by the same legendary driver Cristian Gebhardt.

[@Vincent_Stevens]

@@SihE-qj1mo Ofc Sherlock it is, cuz the GT4RS doesn't have Double wishbones all round. Think bout it, the Cayman with the total GT3 package would be as fast as the 911

[@JulianZwemer]

27:58 I have seen this exact car at the Zandvoort track as well, at 17-4-2023. I love it!

[@debi1988]

due to the car's size and weight, the smaller and lighter yellow Porsche will be faster on smaller, more technical tracks, where the weight and agility of the car are also important

[@racer4199]

It’s low tyre pressure….

[@xtnuser5338]

@@racer4199 No it isn't low tyre pressure. Porsche's low tyre pressure warning light has a different icon than that. It's a brake proportioning fault, which COULD be serious, but is most likely set when the system gets confused because the driver is hard on the gas and the brake pedals at the same time. In which case nothing is actually wrong, and the fault can be cleared with any of the usual methods.

[@Proparkourgamer]

@@racer4199 are you sure? thats handbrake

This channel have a lot of credibility. You could believe! Even with all Porsche marketing pushing us this GT4RS as a better than GT3, Carwow proves the opposity. GT3 have better Suspension Double Wishbone and Rear Aisle, one engine made to It, not adapted that sounds like músic, not like an electric Saw inside of the car. I drove both at the same day on a track in Brazil and had the same impression. GT3 was the best Porsche I ever had drive and GT4 RS have a non supportable noise, for me, and I preferred in the same day, drive the 911 GTS that have in my opinion a better balance that GT4RS.

Matt, have you gone quite mad, the chainsaw sound was what made the 911 so amazing back in the day.

[@monolith2001]

I have never been to this track but have raced it hundreds pf times (GT7). At 27:03 Matt was hot into the chicane. I find it best to come in shallow for the first part of the chicane, get turned and chop the inside curbing on second part of the chicane and get on the power earlier. It always feels like I am waiting an eternity to get on the power if I don't (or I spin up and lose drive to the line).

Great, fun video.... I'm a 911 guy and if a car like this can give you a comfortable ride touring on the interstate and then go very quickly on the track, with solid confidence, it proves to me, INMHO, the the engineering in the 911 is superior to the Caymen. I owned a 2006 911 Carrara S with a 6-speed box, in bright yellow. Loved, loved, loved it. I'm now in a 2010 Panamera S w/PDK and, after installing electronically controlled cut-outs just ahead of the rear wheels, which definitely gives it a NASCAR V8 sound, I find excuses just to go drive it anywhere!
