Porsche GT3 MANUAL Quick Drive- Halloween Special!

[@MaxSpeedMike]

A gt3 is already cool enough. But a manual gt3? Now that's a serious car.

[@nowifinoobs]

Ikr

[@r129r16pfl]

It's very sad that PDK's are outselling the manual car :( People are lazy or what? Yes PDK is faster, but you don't buy a street car for laptimes.

[@VasyaIvanovichPupkin]

@MaxSpeed It is sad that we live in a world where people make statements that suggest that a manual gearbox is not standard equipment.....

[@MaxSpeedMike]

Agreed with both of you guys. A lot of the people in America think standard means automatic lol. Unfortunately manual cars are dying out, I like to buy them while I can and you should too. They won't be around for as long as we thought they would be

[@VasyaIvanovichPupkin]

@@r129r16pfl My money is on the fact that for years marketers have been beating ignorant buyers about faster times in automatics while regular road vehicles stopped producing the manual option in cars with higher trim packages. As a result, today a manual is viewed as a slow and economic means of transferring power to the wheels. I would buy a 3.3 Stinger in a heartbeat, but not having a manual is a complete deal breaker for me. Same reason I will never own any modern Mercedes. If we have more reviewers point out the non statistical benefits of a manual gearbox, I believe that we will be able to bring them back. These guys did a phenomenal job in this video!

[@SilverScarletSpider]

What a machine. Manual transmissions are so rewarding

[@mortenberg2897]

Every word you said in this video made me even happier for my 2006 Cayman S. Whailing screaming boxer-six but ‘slow’ enough to reach the redline on public roads ✌️😎

[@ThrottleHouse]

This drive has resulted in me searching for used boxsters and Caymans...

[@jkliao6486]

Looking back from 2024, bothe the N/A and manual lives on. But the GT3 price is still sky-rocketing. The difference is now the new one is even more expensive and selling at hundreds and hundreds of thousands above the msrp now.

[@frostybite6769]

they mentioned the s2k but i looked through their whole video list and they never have reviewed it...why though?

[@redovni1978]

Gt3 rs test, please!

[@nowifinoobs]

Porsche gets some respect for the manual

[@donovanshea3308]

"You can combine Dumbledore and Gandalf and you still don't get the magice that is the GT3" As a geek/petrohead: that was one of the most powerful analogies I have ever come across

This guy died waiting for a GT3 allocation! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jeffreywan2871]

Lol..... It was you guys making all that noise that day 😂 great video.... Save the manuals!

[@brianhimmelman420]

GT3 Touring is the ultimate as 95% of epic 911R at 40% of current cost ... 500 hp NA manual 9K rpm !! Best modern road car period

[@jeebus2121]

Problem is they're so rare they won't depreciate.

[@avillastar1]

The 911 R is roughly $200k. The GT3 Touring is roughly $150k. I just wanna make sure the numbers are right no?

[@brianhimmelman420]

Anthony Villa if you can find me a 911R for $200K I will take it thanks

[@charleslu7044]

Then there’s the 911 Speedster, double stream liners on the rear deck lid, $299K. That’s for me.

[@TedwardDrives]

Manual Gt3 was the best car I drove this year

[@brianhimmelman420]

Tedward same ... it is epic !!

[@drepop803]

Did you drive one with a pdk? If so which did you have more fun in?

[@SCYorks]

I've been lucky enough to drive both a manual and a PDK there's pure magic with the manual.

[@Jesusprayerwarriorbw]

The hi rev range is why I ride motorcycles! I LOVE winding out the engine theres something special about it. Now I need $300k at least.

[@r129r16pfl]

Only watched this video because - it's a manual!

[@ukwan]

I did a track day in a 997 GT3 last year, they're just the most amazing cars in the world. I since bought a 986 as an introduction to the Porsche brand and it seems that Porsche just make the best cars in the world.

[@Samxdr_]

James Healey perfect 👍🏽 that’s what I’m going to do Get a used 997 Carrera or a turbo and go on from there ;)

[@LetsDIYIt]

I have a 986S and my buddy bought this exact car as in the video, just in green. It's a spectacular car

[@swanblake]

The outro and intro were amazing guys! Throttle House better be here for ever hahaha

[@PlaywiithMee]

0:56 - warning for headphone users. nearly shat my pants

[@ThrottleHouse]

...mission accomplished

[@TheObiwantoby]

The GT3 of this generation is perfection. They will be difficult to attain with value. I settled on the 991.1 Manual with the 3.8. It does not go to 9k but that flat 6 howl still sounds amazing at 7800!

[@brianhimmelman420]

Great choice

[@MatthewGaither]

This whole video is seriously fun and good. You two are extremely good at what you do and then you add the production values and the 911 GT3 and you get 14+ minutes of excellence. Awesome stuff!

[@palefaced1]

I agree. I was so mad when someone called me on bluetooth when I was driving mine 😂

[@MusicianKnowsBest]

Love your reviews man. Thanks for the time and effort you put into it! Keep it up!

[@n54kai]

These intros just keep on getting better and better!

We were working on one today. It involved James wearing a wig and-... actually I don’t want to talk about it..

You guys are killing me! I can't want a GT3 any more than I already do, Ugh, it almost hurts.

[@ZedVee01]

Whoever is giving these thumbs down is a speedhump

[@DCGULL01]

Speechless. Pure sex. Every line I ever liked in any 911 is on THIS car. My wife (no car crazy) walked in, stopped and said "Orgasmic" and walked out. The sound is ridonkulous. Enough blathering- "Uncle!" I subscribed, finally. Getting me to subscribe to ANY channel is like trying to borrow money from a Scotsman- impossible. I'll donate an organ if I can have one.

[@Little6]

You guys are getting better and better. So thankful for your great contents. Keep up the good work.

[@paolovitale9948]

Awesome car, Draw one and loved it, It's a shame that Porsche dealers are asking 25k over a sticker, Almost purchased one for 195 k, I went with my second choice, 2018 Audi R8 rws, 5.2 liters na v10 with a 8.5 k redline, For 155k, Epic ride, Best supercar for the money

[@youngajsthagod3940]

The manliest James has ever sounded 3:38 😂

[@MLeeder53]

you guys are completely right. I drove and RS in Vegas on track and it completely ruined me. I now have to live life knowing ill never afford that car...

Throttlehouse review of a manual transmission Porsche? Automatic like.

[@just.for.the.downshifts]

I believe the success of this channel is a direct result of the personality of you both. Not snobby. Good blend of comedy with practical stuff we wanna know about these cars.

[@ryanmcguirk951]

This car is amazing, now I don’t test drive cars for a living and the best car I have had driven was no where near this. I did get to drive the automatic version of this car with GTA exotics car tour and by far the best car and most responsive car I have had the pleasure of being in control of.

[@MohitSharma-if1bg]

When James revs it up at the 8:00 minute mark...I could feel the thrill of that from behind my laptop screen. Incredible.

[@dwkmcw6]

This is my favorite TH video! Can you please REDO this with a track test! PLEASE.

[@isaiahcat3523]

Thanks bros good review, I’d be more worried about the Four Horsemen!

[@petersonfamily6223]

We had an older 2004 Boxster S manual transmission and my wife and I went to drive a new Boxster S and checked out the 911 Carrera 4S as well and surprisingly we both preferred the driving the Boxster! It just felt more fun to the both of us.

[@revnto7k]

One of my favorite cars ever... I noticed at the end this car had a Porsche of London plate frame, I have a friend that works there. (Also where I live) I'd die to drive this car... What an absolute gem.

[@eliotsmith1975]

Fantastic video, guys! All of your reviews are so spot on. Loved getting such a great rundown on the GT3, even on soggy back roads.

[@NCLme]

My favorite 911 along with GT4 which also has manual too 🤔🤔 the power perfect, precision perfect and that Sound is Amazing

[@timothycoyne5874]

[@MrThrustSSC]

An irish-green 991.2 GT3 Touring manual.....(at least I can dream of it, hmmmmm)

At 7:46 there’s weird frames. Not sure if it was intentional. I slowed it down to see if y’all put Easter eggs in-you guys sound very drunk at half speed.

You know what Porsches are? They are enablers-they constantly ask you to “go faster, I can handle it!” I’ve had two Porsches, a 987.1 Cayman S and now a 981 Boxster S and that flat 6 near redline is like Mozart! Just phenomenal. Can’t imagine what it’s like to drive a GT3-next level!

[@TheSoundofSpeed]

Dream Porsche right there! Amazing

[@matthewmajestic1013]

I was never big into Porsche as child but man oh man this is one hell a machine for hair lifting experience, I’ve never seen let alone driven this model or any Porsche but from all the reviews I would buy this with a 6 speed manual, the carbon fiber sport bucket seats, and as for the paint and interior I’m not sure about, but I would track it definitely, I can go with either Carbon ceramics or the regular Steel Composite brakes 🤷🏾‍♂️🤓, last thing this car is worth it’s money imo, you get what you pay for on this one, and I appreciate the timeless 911 look, and I’m not a Porsche guru but I have mad respect for this car and it’s engineers, now I need to make stupid money, ok I’m done 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@DCGULL01]

Is it me, or, does my already low IQ plummet when I see THIS car? Thank God no-one has waved the thumbnail near me when operating heavy machinery, or- I, or others- would be dead. I literally forget to breathe, I can't hear anything, my eyes glaze over, and- if my mouth is open- I start to drool. Like instantly over medicated on a psychiatric ward. I love cars, but, there is nothing made currently, or in the past- at any price that I covet more than THIS car, in THIS color with a manual transmission. Actually, I want 2- exactly the same. One to display inside my house, and- one to drive. I could spend a month just staring at it- it's that perfect to me. From any angle, in all aspects- even the wheels. $70,000 - $90,000 over M.S.R.P.- no problem. Need to give up my entire Koennisegg collection- fine. Organ donation- You bet! Every other car I've ever desired is gone. I'm so glad that I have NOT been able to drive one, I would be ruined for life. I drove an RX-8 once, and, have happily owned one ever since. I'll keep it for service visits, grocery trips, rainy days and as a track car. It's already made of Unobtanium, and, sadly - I NEED 2!

Sorry but an engine that good deserves something better than a manual. As in..the PDK. And unless this is just your weekend car, that manual is going to get old after a while.
