From a practical stand point you shouldn’t buy a brand new car though lol.

[@smilepermile888]

In the past two years, the only relatively 'new' cars on sale I would say that offer a synergy of RWD, gratifying to shift manual transmission mated to a reliable naturally aspirated high revving engine, and with an appealing interior (for their respected price points), are pretty much this 991.2 GT3 manual, 718 Cayman GT4 and the 2020 Mazda MX-5 (Club package you drove recently) . You can take them to trackday events without doing modifications that void the warranty, yet you can also have great fun on public roads without having to break the law doing so. Porsche and Mazda are the brands that really do listen to enthusiasts because they do want to keep the manuals alive, so long as there's obvious demand for them - we should be thankful for that.

[@joetaka7620]

I agree, those cars use analogue principles with the driving experience they give, without feeling primitive. Its the sweetspot.

[@Schmago]

Mustang gt350 up there too

[@smilepermile888]

@@Schmago The voodoo engine isn't particularly reliable. Its well documented on the internet. They do sound great though.

[@vomErsten]

@@smilepermile888 From what I've seen, it's still a relatively small percentage of the engines and it's primarily the 2016-2017 cars that suffer. Wouldn't put me off of on, but I can see where it might do so for others. If you know what you might be getting into, the GT350 otherwise belongs in that list.

I saw one of these today on the interstate and I got the driver to do a flyby and WOW it sounded so good! Also I live In South Carolina and you could definitely daily drive that thing here. Topher you’re living the dream!

[@AwkwardYet]

They are super chill. They got a great collection

[@rajarafe8736]

this is my dream carr, that sounds that come from the gt3 is so firee

[@lep5756]

Damn I was obsessed with that car when it was on AutoTrader and now I found it here by accident. This is most perfect spec ever because not only it is manual, has the bucket houndstooth seats, and that stunning oak green, but also the leather steering wheel!! They're usually in Alcantara and although I love Alcantara everyone that has it says how they get kind of disgusting with time. Whoever specced this knew exactly what they were doing.

[@rodriguezsax]

Haha came here to post this comment. I drooled over this ad when I saw it. Utterly perfect and now the video to go along with it 💯

[@prazzy4712]

Another awesome review. You definitely get cars and do a great job of communicating your knowledge and enthusiasm. So question for you: I have a 2022 Cayman GTS 4.0, which I have gotten somewhat used to, and of course the mind goes to GT3. watched your GTS 4.0 review and this one back to back. The thought that came to me was really the GT3 offers that race car 8000 to 9000 rpm experience that you don't get in the GTS. But is the larger size, rougher ride, worse visibility, more attention really worth it for just that? I don't track my cars so purely a road car use question.

[@19krpm71]

Oak Green PTS. Definitely one of the best colors imo.

[@paulc9694]

Omg that color and a manual gear box is just heaven. I don’t understand why people would choose automatic unless they want faster shifts or they simply don’t drive a manual.

[@mr.sharma1085]

Its a cheap hyundai hatchback theres nothing to review about

[@williamlong2682]

To be honest, I’m not exactly sure why this is, but high dollar sports cars and supercars have excited me less and less as I’ve grown up. The GT3 still intrigues me, though. It’s not just that it’s fast or even that it revs out of this world. It’s that it’s fun. It’s tactile. It’s involving. The driving experience is multi-dimensional, even in everyday situations on public roads. And that’s what it takes to capture my fascination. This is definitely very high on my dream garage list.

[@TheTopher]

My sentiments exactly!

[@maddihudson8982]

[@vipermoon_]

Yup, the 991 GT3's are luxury car comfortable compared to the 997 era GT3's. I prefer the raw feel of the 997 but you can't deny the advancement in handling and comfort capabilities of the 991.
