Porsche 997.1 GT3 RS is The Last Great Analog Sports Car

In this episode we're driving Nick's 911 GT3 RS, which is among the last great truly analog drivers' cars produced by Porsche, or any other manufacturer before everything became electronically "enhanced."

To clarify, the 997.2 GT3 RS doesn't have electric steering. Both the 997.1 GT3 RS and the 997.2 GT3 RS have hydraulic steering. It was the next generation (the 991) where electric steering was introduced. Great video though and a badass looking car!!

[@TheCarCrush]

Thank you for the clarification. We just kind of shoot these for fun and because we love our cars but as you can see, we’re definitely not spec professionals 🤣

Sweet ride. If the stars are aligned I will have one by the end of the week.

[@iluvcakes19]

So? Did the stars align for you?

[@SF_Native]

@@iluvcakes19 haha thank you for asking! Yes, the stars certainly aligned! It’s Carrara white with black decals. Couldn’t be happier. Absolutely amazing car! Cheers!

Good vid guys. Have a 991.2 gt3rs and this has me wanting to trade for one of these.

[@sSW-nu1lb]

i'm with you buddy - my absolute dream car too. have fun getting to know it.

[@dwndraft9805]

997.2 does not have electric steering.

[@KT-mi7hk]

Fun vid but wrong torque and wrong info on 997.2 steering and nannies.

[@lukeydukeyz]

I was just about to say.

[@TheCarCrush]

@@brianhimmelman420 - As you can tell we’re not stat / spec professionals nor are we trying to make this our career. Just kind of shot them for fun. We’re just now planning a couple more shoots as we’ve added some cool cars to our line up. Will work on stats being 100% correct on the next ones 🤣

[@brianhimmelman420]

997.1 RS is most pure and raw … less nannies and free rev engine

[@nlakind]

Couldn't agree more

[@edjack1993]

great video lads. dream car.

[@pietervandenberg7049]

Thats not the variocam at 3.000 rpm, its a valve in the exhaust. Just before 5.000 the variocam changes. But what a car!!

[@mlamesq8]

Nonsense, of course you’re a good enough driver to drive a 530 hp car. On the road, a 530 hp car drives the same as a 415 hp one.

[@Porsche-Ninja]

*Like a less enthusiastic version of Yuri & Jacob from TheStraightPipes* What grinds my gears: 1-Dialogue volume level is way TOO low. 2-The 997.2 does NOT come with electric steering like mentioned in the video. 3-Sport button doesn't open up the exhaust like mentioned in the video, it actually changes the throttle response, among other changes aswell. 4-The sport exhaust button actually opens the exhaust flaps (if car equipped with the PSE option from factory), not the sport button

[@TheCarCrush]

100% agree! We're just 2 guys who love cars and decided to do this for fun. We're learning as we go(shooting, editing, etc.) and have mended the audio issue and now have added lav-mics. Thanks for watching, it is greatly appreciated.

[@cattsadler]

Fav so far! More more more!

[@patrickandler6732]

Beatiful some day

[@AllIsWell_22]

Great video boys! Can you do a review of a Manual ZL1 1LE? The car did a 7:16 at the Nurburgring and there is barely any coverage of the car’s engineering. GM does a terrible job marketing it and I am curious about your feedback. The ZL1 1LE is a track car first but with some street tires (PS4S) on...curious as to your feedback in the canyons.

[@19krpm]

Audio needs some work there boys.

[@TheCarCrush]

19krpm - couldn’t agree more. Has since been fixed! Next video will have audio worth listening to

[@luisfilipe1983]

Passenger looks a bit scared🤔

[@TheCarCrush]

Hahhhhaha which one?!

[@modernworldiscrap]

The 996.1 GT3 IS THE LAST ANALOG 911

[@davidr5520]

Oh Yeah ! 997 GT3 /GT3 RS are the best. Just like my 2007 997 GT3 with 53 Kgs / 132 pounds off Factory mass [arguably the lightest road registered 997 GT3 on the Planet ] thanks to Forged 6061 T6 HRE R101 Light Weight 20 inch wheels [ rear tyre 325/25/20] and full Akrapovic Titanium "straight pipe" Exhaust. Dyno engine power is up to 432.3 BHP at the Flywheel . [MAHA Dyno , the Worlds most accurate Dyno ]. Thanks to a McChip reflash of the computer "Firmware" Don't have the slightly wider 44mm Shell , but just a tag slippery at max V, just like the Porsche 9ff cars ! Not to mention the number plate ANALOG . Great Video you guys.

997 GT3RS or 997 GT2?
