Flying MY FAVOURITE CAR Through the Green Hell!

[@benjaminlemort]

This car is so under rated. What a pure machine to drive, it's all about pure feeling, driving emotions, with no electronics parts. Love it so much. Just after the M5 E39 video, it makes me saying that the best cars were made in the 90's / 2000's. What a perfect garage combo it could be 🥰

[@Diac13]

Depends on your age. Those cars get popular now because people who dreamed about those cars while they were young are now at an age where they can afford to buy them. It's like that with every generation of cars.

[@drtm1718]

I get what you're saying, but I didn't grow up caring about cars at all. I was born in '94 and I didn't give a shit about cars until I started driving when I was like 19 or 20, and I didn't really gain my current enthusiasm til maybe a few years ago.

[@Patriot2499]

Cars were definitely better built in 90s and early 2000s. After 2007 car makers started going to shit

[@Diac13]

@@Patriot2499 I don't agree. There are plenty of well built cars in every era.

[@leeellis6738]

@@Diac13 Mercedes are a prime example of cost cutting when it comes to quality fit and finish. Mercs from the early 80s and late 70s were made to a better standard than the plastic dashboard with ipad attached effort of today. No imagination or design flare. Just my opinion.😀

[@NoDoSwLa]

Nice Misha! Happy for you that you got to drive one of these (again). The time I worked as a Porsche-Technician, the 997 was the hot thing and the 996 received a lot of hate. Because of the headlamps etc. The first time I've driven a 996 ("just" the regular one with 320 PS tho) I actually liked it very much and the way it drove.

[@woodyunderwood2828]

996s are awesome...but you know I stayed right with one through the twisties at our cool track in Topeka, KS one afternoon in my slightly modified BMW 1995 318ti. On the straight he was of course gone but I caught up with him every lap. The owner bought me a beer that evening.

You are a great driver, and how you use the pedals is on another level. Maybe only at the beginning the first and second gears shift a little earlier. You can see on the faces of the owners that they are not too happy. I am already looking forward to the next video.

[@nickallain]

If your tires last 7 years on a GT3, you're doing something wrong ;)

[@sighheinrich]

Why even have such a beautiful car and having all those mods etc. and then not be invested in good tires? Not sure about cars, but on motorcycles 7 year old cars and driving "spirited" will be a death sentence.. Tires get hard and loses traction way easier. Maybe it's not exactly the same for car tires?

[@apodski]

@@sighheinrich varies wildly tire to tire, and the conditions they were stored in. Some are basically mint at this age, some are all dried out and highly unpredictable. Ozone, heat, and uv hugely accelerate drying out.

Misha, I'm curious if you think something like a 2/3 way JRZ or other motorsport coilover suspension would have helped it over the curbs? I'm so drawn to the 996 GT3. I love my Touring, but as I've grown as a driver I continue to crave something tactile and raw that requires a very high level of focus and commitment to drive. I keep getting drawn back to the 996 GT3 for that reason.

Why was the front end horrible? The old tires? The set up?

[@hexgraphica]

Theoretically the new 996 GT3 is the 718 GT4, but the 996 looks nimble and tiny, elegant but racy, It doesn't shout in every way, unless driven as required. It's a trait I miss from modern Porsches but it may be the one they had to abandon to make proper money

[@flsupraguy]

You forgot electric steering vs hydraulic steering.....

[@nostopping]

Yes, on paper, the GT4 is incredibly similar to the 6GT3. But once you drive both of them, you will say OMG, how could they be so different.

Love the car and the drive! I wonder what makes the 996 so much more engaging than the 997? Because for me 997 GT3 always was the dream track car with hydraulic steering and a reliable engine

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

Ya, I have a 997 (cup lip, numeric short shifter, etc) and have driven 996, frankly, I think it comes down to how they are tuned. Are we comparing 2 cars that are tuned, alignment, suspension settings, tires and pressure, etc that are exactly the same? Perhaps the 997 had newer tires and felt “soft” compared to old, dry rotted tires 😉. This isn’t a stock GT3 by any means, so are we comparing apples to apples?

[@MD-qp8gj]

996 GT3 and 996 GT3 cup car have the identical dry sump motorsports Mezger engine, same horsepower. 997 GT3's have the same Mezger but bored out and higher revving. Like most 996 GT3 owners, I have aftermarket suspension, rose jointed links, aftermarket exhaust, roll cage, poly engine mounts, pinned coolant lines, cup car shifter cables.

[@porschenut9]

996 has a touch more feel through the steering than 997 and you can feel more to do with what each corner of the car is doing. Overall a bit more communicative than a 997.
