Porsche GT3RS - Does More Wing Mean More Fun? | Everyday Driver

We’ve driven every GT variant of Porsche’s 911, even putting some of them against each other. But the GT3RS trim of the 992 generation 911 had escaped us until now. Join the guys for some fast laps on Belgium’s F1 track, Spa Francorchamps, as well as hot laps with owner and racing driver Ron Simons.

I think folks aren't appreciating how well you guys are commenting while driving this valuable of a car hard on track. I'm not able to park in my garage while talking 😂

Driving on Spa in a Porsche on the Everyday Driver Pilgrimage trip is the ultimate vacation goal for me! Todd and Paul reignited my love of cars during the pandemic and I can’t wait to afford to go on this trip.

[@ComedyCustard]

who stayed for the telling off at the end lmao, fantastic video, Paul's expression as passenger will live rent free in my head forever now!

[@996Revival]

Yea, I had to replay the ending lol

[@JD.Martin]

I heard Ron was black flagged for drifting. I'm glad you included that in the outtakes.

[@edmundhayes1840]

More like for being too fast out there and making everyone look bad

[@Bmontepeque11]

I swear man, this isn't even a sports car, this is straight up a race car, you just can drive this one on the street :o To me this is the ULTIMATE car. Super Cars are more just for show, this is the ultimate experience you can get.

[@damachine3]

I own this car, a manual 992 GT3, GT4 RS, 992 GT3 Cup, and Macan S (all on my channel). I'm a Porsche guy and I cant get enough of these videos.

[@Nord_Mann]

And your favorite is?

[@nzjononz]

So glad to have you guys with us! Don’t know how we can top it next year though 🤔

[@petermacklin7870]

The smiles tattooed on both of your faces are very telling of a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Someday, I will get there...

[@hangpilot1200]

The fact that this car can take the punishment of the Ring day-after-day... that's mind blowing!

[@alecwhiteside5709]

This is INSANE. Wow. Great coverage you guys.

[@rocker4life989]

Todd and Pauls ear to ear grin says it all. Well done fellas! 👍👊🤘💪

[@Jorge_Magallon]

Cool review as always.

[@markmahoney5255]

The smile on Paul’s face while his in the passenger seat during his hot lap with Ron says it all 😊

[@mry82]

yep!

[@DC5Brandon]

Looks like you guys finally found the dispenser.

[@Driven-Productions]

As you said perfectly, I aspire for this car in my life. Will have one, not a question of if, only when. Amazing content guys enjoyed the content throughly. Was NOT expecting that ending though - “aggressive driving” very interesting. Clearly a relaxed day at the track.

[@rdiamond655]

Paul and Todd always bring the goods. Excellent video

[@RockstarBruski]

Well that was a fun video! Awesome that you guys got to get Seat time in that car and learn some driving tactics from the owner. Very cool of him!

[@patricknatarelli3597]

Yeah! That looks like fun. Although Ron got his hand slapped.

[@dr.sherifsoliman8576]

Well done as always!

[@996Revival]

2:18 That 996 was hustling 😊

[@craigyBow]

Simply outstanding 👏 ❤❤❤

[@timothymurray4629]

What fun! Thanks for taking us on the ride with you.

[@michaelshapiro1296]

That looked like an awful lot of fun. So, who was faster around the track, Paul or Todd?

[@RockstarBruski]

Yes post best lap times! 😀

[@jaredfaidley8391]

Been waiting for this one!!😮

[@dannyferguson9415]

Wow! Great job guys, sweet car ,great track 10/10.

[@EverydayDriver]

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching!

[@andreisevostianov9525]

The best vid of GT3RS I watched so far. I know I’m biased. But still. Thanks for putting this together. Looking forward to seeing POV from it:)

[@EverydayDriver]

Thank you! Very glad you enjoyed. There won’t be a POV on this guy, as Todd wouldn’t want to wear the camera during a public track day.

[@Malses060]

Another great video

[@damianl3]

Looks so much fun!!

[@thelaw300]

You guys are living the dream 😎

[@drivingprophet]

Awesome video guys! Love getting to hear your thoughts on the newest, baddest 911. Hope to join you on the Pilgrimage trip one day!

[@madfemurfast]

That is a trip I want to take...

[@jasondavidarchibald]

I love how Porsche keeps evolving from their “mistake” of putting the engine in the rear. Great video!

[@marssha]

both seatbelt was epic reminds me of the meme when your crazy friends drives and you have to put all the seatbelt 🤣

[@thepiratepenguin_]

Hahaha, love the ending!

[@yachtandwealthadvisorsllc4874]

Excellent job

[@kc510]

Looks like a blast.

[@mkei8973]

Hi, from Japan!! What good sounds the machine makes!! Todd says he is not an amazing driver but he is my favorite driver definitely. Of course, Paul is too.

[@saviordream]

Really fun video, guys! Be curious to feel how this compares to the 911 I drove on the Utah Adventure this year. I mean, I'm sure they're totally different, but that was my first time driving a 911 and it was just such a different feeling than anything I've driven before. Still not sure if I like it or not, and I guess I'd need more time in one to come to a decision.

[@mlgseba]

That pass at eau rouge- I know it’s not any sort of competition but that had me brace for a moment haha

[@YouTuber-jz5nd]

Fun fact... the 911 DOES have less wheel base than the Cayman. Not by much of course, but it does.

[@lindvi0r]

What a treat of a car

[@ChoPi-Eww]

Watch until the very end, the outtakes with Ron at the helm are great!

[@94jrose]

It might be the ultimate track toy

[@recloakes1127]

I need one now

[@tedadamgreen]

Thanks guys!

[@kyledaoust7351]

1. Car is epic. 2. How is the "fun" factor compared to a GT4rs? 3. I don't know the track day rules at Spa, but that type of driving by Ron would def get Black Flagged and probably kicked off for the day, at my local 4.048 mile track.

[@Nord_Mann]

GT4RS is more demanding of the driver and A LOT louder😊

[@rhspek]

Many many years ago most of the track was used as a public road, but there always was a bypass around Eau Rouge. Not one day though when, on my way down to Luxembourg in my AlfaSud ti, I found the bypass closed and the public roadgoing over Eau Rouge. So what do you do in a case like that? You floor it of course! If my memory is correct I was going at least as fast as Ron Simons in the video, but after all those years and seeing the specs of the old Sud (actually back then fairly new) that might not be entirely correct.

[@Chickenlegs836]

Love your show guys👍Bottom line PORSCHE make the best drivers sports car 🚗 for the $$$. Engineering at its best!!! They continue to strive to give drivers fortunate enough to buy one a amazing experience on the road & track !! 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

[@Aeneas137]

Black flag for dangerous driving? that track is going to have to adjust their expectations. lol

[@thecorsentino]

13:16 ever brake so hard that the fixed camera angle changes?

[@mr.revsup]

Guys! Jealous doesn't even begin to describe. Is it too much?

[@bryanpascual3543]

hero car (will not own it but admire for its engineering marvel): Porsche 911 GT3 RS dream car (may own it someday and use as a daily commuter): Honda Civic hatchback

[@Flynth17]

🎉

[@TML34]

Guys - do you think a relatively novice driver should be buying this? Is it too much car for a beginner and can it really teach you anything if the limits are so high? Btw, love the outro…the man is not putting up with silly Spa standards! 😂😂

[@EverydayDriver]

If you’re wanting to lean how to drive on track, we recommend a low power well balanced car. This is too high a place to start, though a perfect place to end up!

[@Andrew-zs5tc]

I am not going to comment until I watch at least 3/4 of the video.

[@Jstall7543]

Was as Sane So Wicked?!

[@peddlinjohnny4346]

Todd, that was 250km/h, right? Not 250mph. Right?

[@ChoPi-Eww]

250 Turkish Dollars

[@EverydayDriver]

Yes. All of RSRs fleet has KPH gauges. Thanks for watching!

[@timephire]

What are they going to do for a GT2 RS?!

[@Nord_Mann]

Hybrid plus turbos. Guessing same aero or more plus 900hp

[@VK6AB-]

The reality is the difference in laptime between a 991.2 GT3 RS, 992 GT3 and 992. GT3 RS can be split by tire type e.g. the car on CUP2 R with the same driver will be quicker. Brakes don't stop cars - tires do. The aero only really makes a lot of difference on high average lapspeed tracks e.g. Spa (downforce is proportional to velocity squared). BTW Cup cars are considerably quicker than this - that begs the question, whats the point of this RS. Its simply another ~ 500HP Porsche - there has been no meaningful shift in power and torque since the 991.2 GT3. As road cars the 718 GT4 RS is the pick, more fun, more lively, better balanced and only marginally slower round track.

[@CLSTRN911]

The GT3RS on slick tires is faster than the GT3 cup

[@VK6AB-]

@@CLSTRN911 No its not, its slower than a 991.1 GT3 Cup - I know I own one. Plus did 5 seasons of Carrera Cup. Also fully logged a 992 GT3 RS at Silverstone on Cup2 R with a 2:09.2 lap. Moreover if you run a RS on slicks you will over strain the RAS assembly. How do I know, I've done that too. :)

[@bits2646]

This is one time that I feel that engine with 500hp is way underpowered for the aero/braking capabilities of the car

[@kcw9313]

They don’t even use the shift paddles and talk about “own skills” lol

[@jefffawcett1626]

​@@twinturboray Maybe, but they'll be significantly quicker than a manual in a straight line and on the track getting there...

[@clubracer6]

Do you wish that it was a little more edgy and less approachable?

[@Nord_Mann]

Seems too easy. GT4RS more demanding, ..and slower..

[@BubuBarong]

The 992 feels like it has a shorter wheelbase than a 718 because IT HAS a shorter wheelbase, not because of rear wheel steering...
