FIRST DRIVE - In My NEW Porsche GT3 RS 4.0L

[@ShiviKun7o7]

Honestly unbelievable how Mr JWW doesnt have a few million subscribers already. His videos are a piece of art, they're directed and edited beautifully. The "This is why we drive" channel trailer video, even though its years old now, I use it to refer to my non-car people friends why I love cars. James you make amazing videos, I love watching each and every single one.

[@thedr-who3984]

That’s because Mr Walker doesn’t always tell his valued viewers the total truth, particularly in relation to vehicle ownership. The more you are truthful with people in life, the more you will grow organically. Hence the followers are extremely low compared to the majority of fellow so called ‘influencers’. Truth prevails.

One of James’ best videos- I come back to watch it regularly- key point he makes about how it’s harder to enjoy a super car on the roads these days - making a manual transmission essential for true enjoyment. Personally my skills on the track have yet to reach a level where a pdk would make a difference. Meanwhile, with the majority of my time in my gt3 (and a Subaru STI as my daily) I find the manual maxes the enjoyment

[@gouldnj]

Credit to the original person who specced this car, much credit to your drone pilot (stunning work of late), and further credit to you and your agent James as your choices in both cars and sponsorships have made me very proud to be an early and continuing fan of yours. Another stunning video of what is the arguably the greatest roadgoing Porsche ever made! Well done.

Hi James, I remember telling you this is as good as it gets for a pure unassisted drivers car!

The 1st gear of a manual 997.2 C4S tops out at 43 mph. This means that if I put my foot down and have the engine hit the rev limiter, I know that I have not exceeded the speed limit on our 45 mph roads around town in the US. With a PDK, I would have to be more gentle and keep my eye on the speedometer, which kind of diminishes the experience.
