Porsche 911 GT3: Full Road Review - Carfection

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

Deserve? How the hell do you figure that? Load of shite

[@nicofonce]

The main thing I want to get out of a car review is: how does it feel to drive? That's why I give this video 10/10. Well done!

Nico Fonce agree ... specs and Stats be damned

[@claudiomarangone614]

Exactly.

[@Sandouras]

All these car bloggers buying GT3s like Shmee make a video or two and then they forget about it. Because it’s about blogging shit, boasting about doing miles in their expensive cars and pressing the upshift paddle. This one video from carfection had so much love and passion for cars and this one in particular!

[@houssamalucad753]

When you have a manual on such a car you can't stop talking about it...

Did you really have to mention those 2 guys....

[@allensaunders449]

Sandouras you obviously don't watch those channel's regularly shmee puts more miles on his car then anyone else. You don't MRJWWs channel either you basicly don't know what you are talking about. They own and keep there cars journalists go for one drive and its on to the next

I just purchased this exact car. It now resides in New Zealand. Its now done 40,000km (prior owner in nz used it as a daily, open road driving). Its my first gt3, but let’s just say I’m a happy camper.

[@sleepeatdrive7619]

The way you feel about the GT3, I feel the same for my Boxster...just not to the extreme of the GT3. The GT3 is on a league of its own. My Boxster’s handling, steering feel, and sound of the naturally aspirated flat six give me goosebumps on twisty backroads. All car guys need to own a Porsche once in their lives, and it didn’t have to be a GT3!

[@T.10-d3m]

Couldn't agree more. Just take the roof off and go up the mountains or some twisty roads out in the countryside, switch the radio off and enjoy the soundtrack of the howling flat-six. And whenever I see his videos I get the temptation just to go out and drive it no matter the time, weather or whatever.

[@williamjackson5357]

I own a bmw 530i and a Mercedes Benz E320, and Porsche Cayman, ALL CAR GUYS SHOULD OWN A PORSCHE. Driving the Porsche is the greatest car driving experience of them all!

[@Dominikmj]

I owned a 1st gen Boxster S - and before I never understood the “goosebumps inducing” flat 6 sound - Porsche fans are talking about. Well - after I owned it I know - and I want it back in my life. And the best and probably most extreme variation is the 911 GT3. The video is just stunning. Better than anything what huge budgets are producing these days. Kudos to Carfection and Henry - to pull this off. The only problem is, that youtube is just giving the option to simply thumb up this video. I want to thumb it up 10 times.

[@mavsun]

Its a treat watching Henry review any car.. And him reviewing a GT3 is quite simply one of the primary reasons I follow Carfection! Thanks for this one guys.. Superb stuff.

[@agencymen998]

I gotta be honest here- This Brit is very articulate without being too posh in his explanation, I like how Henry is very involved and emerged into the drivi g experience, I’m American. And frankly will admit The Brit’s do the best motoring reviews. Thanks Henry. Keep up the great work from USA!

[@davdidit6]

I must say Mr. Catchpole, you have become my favorite automotive journalist. This video and the one with the McLaren ( at this moment I don’t recall the model) in Scotland ( again unsure, sorry) are two of my favorite videos of all time. What you do different, is that when I watch your videos I really get the emotion, the feeling that I have experienced it too. The McLaren video I felt was the most artistic videos I have ever seen. Bravo, well done, good on you and thank you

[@elsa3dany1]

This car is my dream car 🖤 Thanks for the great review Porsche FTW 🖤❤️

[@swiper1818]

Just watched this again - superb review and very accurate. I’ve put over 10,000 km on one... however the sport button is for rev matching etc - the sport suspension button is on the red side of the gear lever

[@arn12c]

That shot of the RS breaking loose around the corner was perfect 👌

[@nathaway10]

Dear Henry and the Carfection Team, The GT3 has been my dream car as long as I can remember. I am one of the lucky ones, I picked up my manual 991.2 GT3 a few weeks ago. You have summed it up perfectly, its all Glorious and now its my daily driver. So good, possibly one of the last analogue giants. Thanks for a fantastic review, Ive watched it so many times. Keep up the good work. Engine sound is 10 times better IRL but for me the stand out is the handling with the 4 wheel steer. :)

[@sentientbeing05]

Congratulations, brother! Can’t imagine what a feeling it would be to buy the dream super car! Maybe one day hopefully I can buy or at least drive one, although I’m pretty uncertain about it. If you were to give me one tip on how to afford one, what’d it be? :)

I think you can tell with how much passion this film was made. A joy to watch - excellent presentation and smooth editing 👍🏻

[@Kerk10W]

I was greatly blessed to be given the chance to have a long drive in it, except its a PDK on steel brakes. I realised just a few kilometres in, the connection with the car is beyond any other car, not even the other wonderful cars I had driven. This GT3 syncs with your intentions, and executes the movements with fluidity and finesse that always leaves me admiring! Nirvana!

[@bbkGT3]

My PDK 991.2 daily driver is a blast on snowy roads at -25C (you read it right, with Sottozero’s obviously). It’s also spot on at the track at +28C with the Cup 2’s. It all about the feel, and there is a ton in the GT3, full stop. PS Have faith everyone, my first car was an AMC Pacer 38 years ago!!.

[@stefanjust1912]

Many thanks for this brilliant review Henry ! As a blessed owner of both the GT4 and the GT3 manual I find your comments and assessments spot-on, and would add, that there are minimal differences between the 2 gear boxes. Where the GT4 gearbox is extremely "classical" (that is: no helpers from the control units, except auto blip when in Sport), the GT3 gearbox is gently supported by a few "hidden feet", which allow you to stay on the gas while shifting. Upwards and downwards, that is. The car will give the gas pedal a subtle nudge, so you will land in the right rev range, when the next lower or higher gear is engaged. If you start understanding, appreciating and using this (slightly counterintuitive) capability, you are finally lost to the car, and can't stop driving it.

[@newbee74]

yes i agreed. i used to have gt4. This gt3 clutch is easier than GT4.

[@anastasisgeorgopoulos3754]

Another great review. I feel like I have driven the car myself after watching.

[@honeyxplayz5684]

I want one! My first real Porsche experience was a drive in a clients 2014 911 turbo S.. a phenomenal car. So comfortable and sedate just cruising around.. but get on a B road and woah! The client tossed me the keys and said I could have a shot but as a total fanny I declined in case I curbed a wheel or did something stupid that would probably bankrupt me... I regret not driving it, but that one drive got me hooked on Porsche’s. One day I’ll own one! One day... Great content gents 👍🏻

[@westpalmdoc]

that turbo S would be a hoot with a manual too bad those days are gone. i find the pdk a bit dull.

[@darrenprior6339]

What a bloody fantastic editorial. Henry does a wonderful job of putting you in the car. I second every word of your love for the manual gearbox. I think I'm going to give up driving if one cannot be found anywhere and I suspect over time this naturally aspirated manual GT3 will become a collectors item of its own (in manual form) over time. Congratulations on a great write up

[@shaneisaacs666]

Pretty much sums up my own feelings about this car. Beyond the quite frankly amazing experience of hitting that 9,000rpm redline, the level of engagement and feedback you get from driving the GT3 is unlike anything else I've driven.

At 13:13 that upshift with that little gap in the gears I find so nice to listen to, when you just engage in the clutch and get back on the gas immediately. But it only sounds great when you hear it from a distance. 13:13 that distance.

So I tell them, the best skiing equipment doesn't remind you that you using it.
