@@EvoraGT430 Those flat milky grays I’m totally with you, it looks unfinished, like an undercoat. But a metallic silver is completely different. On sporty German cars in particular it has a heritage element to its appeal being Germany’s historic racing color. Reminds me a bit of Mercedes Silver Arrows from the 30s that were completely unpainted to save weight, leaving just the unadorned metal body. Not quite as authentic nowadays with all the carbon body work which obviously wouldn’t be silver unpainted, but still puts me in that mindset of the paint just fading away and leaving the curves of the car to really speak for themselves. I’m a huge James Bond fan and his cars a usually silver. And finally there’s something about the simplicity and maturity of silver that suits a German car imho, kind of a jock in a suit kinda vibe. Like a Lamborghini should never be silver but German cars usually have that more austere buttoned down character that matches a more subtle paint scheme. Ymmv of course, aesthetics are very subjective, and I kinda get the appeal of subverting expectations by painting a subtle car a bold color. But those are some of the reasons I love silver German cars.

As a young kid, I will never forget seeing a 356 convertible quickly accelerating up the hill from our yaughtclub. I was mesmerized. Years later, my 25-year-old dream came true when I bought a used 997.1 Carrera S in Speed Yellow with a 6-speed transmission .. With a few mods, it ran and sounded just like today's cup cars. This reviewed car reminds me of my 911 in many, ways. Top speed on it was an honest 175 mph @ 7000rpm (exactly) in 6th gear. Thanks for the ride down memory lane...

Harry, if you get a chance, drive a 992 Touring that’s been fettled by the chaps at Center Gravity. You’ll be amazed at the improvement on British B roads. I took mine there on the recommendation of a friend having had it for a month in which the bump steer (or tram-lining) tried to drag me into several hedge rows. Some slight tweaks to camber and roll bar stiffness have transformed it onto something far more suited to our roads.

Oh dear. I had a new 992 C2S for a year and was so sick of the ride and being pitched around on B roads that I sold it. Not heard the term bump steer before but that's exactly what mine did. It hated any minor pot hole too. Wish I'd have known about suspension tuning specialists!

Great video as usual Harry. I was thinking that if they run the same tyres and suspension, yet the Touring feels softer, could it be down to it having no cage in it. Surely, the shell can't be as stiff and the acoustics of having no cage reverberating noise around , must contribute to that impression of the softness change? Anyway, just something to think about. Cheers 👍👍

Fair review Harry. Few different thoughts. Manual is YES, but steel brakes are the way to go. Carbon if you are chasing seconds on a track (plus PDK), but it's not, its a touring in Manual. Steel gives better feeling, cheaper to replace (by far), and the brake calipers don't discolour (as carbon get too hot). As for the drive, you need to drive it in sport mode and it gives better road feel. Aircooled 911s front end wanders as to the 992GT3, just let it!! That is their feel, it is not an issue!! If you want adjustable seats and less noise, get the GTS. From me it is perfect, only one thing P's me off and that is the computer. It is always binging, comes up with alerts, etc. Can not get an allocation for touring, asked twice now.

Just for comparison, in around 1990... My last year of high school I was working as a lot attendant at Costco. Before then called Price Club in Toronto, Canada. A gentlemen arrived in a 930 Turbo with... 345, 17inch, 35 series tires at the back of his monster. On three piece BBS wheels as you do. I'd never seen a tire that big in my life. Granted my hands are small but, the dish had to be the entirty of my hand and half way up my forearm. I never thought I'd ever see a bigger tire than that, and I really haven't. They had to be aftermarket, glass fenders. It's been a very long time and it is possible I may have the size and series wrong but... They were 345 large that's for sure. You never forget a number quite like that. Pure craziness.

Seems more like tramlining rather than bump steer. Bump steer is when the toe angle changes as the wheels travel up an down. Tramlining is when the wheels battle one another for grip on crowned/irregular road surfaces. It becomes much more of a factor with wide, grippy tires, which this car has.

I'm a little skeptical that this car is actually softer as the suspensions are supposed to be identical. Could it be Harry not quite remembering since so much time elapsed between the two drives? Could it be the weather somehow? Though colder weather would make rubber bushings stiffer. Maybe tire pressure? One thought, though I would think this might only be felt at higher speeds is maybe the extra downforce on the regular GT3 compresses the suspension more and without that extra compression from the big wing the Touring's springs might offer more actual travel? Yeah, that's the theory I'm going with for now....

@@brianhimmelman420 that certainly seems to be the case. Evo and Piston Heads both noted the same difference between touring and non-touring, PH were told it was down to Cup 2 vs Pirelli rubber, but the GT3 Harry drove was on Pirellis the same as on the Touring. I wonder if the cage made a difference? It would certainly increase the amount of acoustic ingress, but I struggle to think that it would make such a difference to the driving dynamics and ride comfort. The fact that Harry recorded a significant difference in the in-car noise leads me to believe it isn't just a case of bias on Harry's part.

As your winged GT3 was a CS....it had a welded in cage...that would certainly make it stiffer all around and through resonant vibration would certainly introduce more noise to the cabin, albeit a very small amount.

6:30 In Canada we have this wonderful invention; they're called jacket 'pockets'. Car keys (in the era of "Keyless Start") remains in my pocket. Phone remains in my pocket. This may seem weird, but my wallet and reading glasses also remain in my pockets when I'm driving; and I'm not the slightest bit tempted to remove my wallet from my pocket just because I happen to be sitting in a car seat. Why on Earth would I feel the urge to empty out my pockets and need to find a place for my phone and (especially silly) a 'special' place for the keys? The only exception is very long (6h+) drives when the phone might need a charge. If the other passengers can manage to sit down without emptying their pockets, the driver should be able to do so. I find it strange that some people need to empty out their pockets every time they get into a car. Strange behaviour. :-)

I can’t help thinking the “Touring” appellation is a cop-out, especially when what Harry is driving with great delight in this review is actually the benchmark for the 2022 911 series. The car seems to be saying, “Touring? Well, tour THIS!” I love it!

I rang Porsche Solihull to buy a GT3 Touring and they said I had to buy a load of Porches before they'd let me buy one. I spoke to Porsche UK and they have no instructions on restrictions for their franchised dealers to sell GT3s. I have this in writing from Porsche UK. Dealers do not want you to buy a car that will not lose money. Solihull Porsche offered me a second-hand one for £252k. The one I specced was £154K. I would not sell it for a profit but keep it forever. I hate such restrictions, you save up and you can't buy what you want.

Sir Harry! I so much remember the first issue of Evo Magazine I read back in -02. 😁 So well written, so much personal feel for all of the contributiors (remember "Haymanator had to stop briefly to have a toke on his Marlboros"?). Those times are probably gone forever, but You prevail. So happy for that 👍🥃

The £3,800 for the bucket seats may be more appropriate for the over caffeinated weekend track crowd. Daily driving might be easier with the adjustable sports seats. Spending £580 on black calipers is also a stretch. Other than that it’s a BEAUTY!
