Porsche Mega Test! GT2 RS vs GT3 RS vs GT3

[@MrJWW]

So here it is! Truthfully this is a comparison I have personally been wanting to experience for quite some time but of course it translates to a cool video with a surprising outcome... Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on these 3 incredible cars!

[@nbwatki]

dude that was amazing

[@eichler721]

Great video and that GT2RS is so fast it's not funny. Love the spec of all 4 cars.

[@ricardofigueroa6754]

James this was awesome! Thank you. Cheers from NY

[@Speednote10]

Great video. Further proof that lap times and acceleration numbers count for very little in the real world.

[@phantom2k10]

i wonder how much different the 2rs would be if the rpm band was higher

[@TheCabrooster11]

It’s the first video I’ve watched when anyone has driven all three of current Porsche GT cars on track one after the other, and you made it throughly entertaining as ever

[@MrJWW]

Thanks : D

[@BrawnyPony]

the video nobody asked for but everybody needed. a lot of shit had to go down for this very moment.

[@anthonyfen-chong5557]

I'm glad there's James to give us such neat content

[@MrJWW]

Thanks for watching buddy!

[@mqandil]

Great video. Best conclusion ever. I own all 3 cars, the manual GT3, GT3 RS and GT2 RS and you are spot on. Still GT3 manual is my absolute favorite....I enjoy the GT3 manual best on the public roads and the GT3 RS best on track. GT2 RS is so so so capable especially on track and you can beat everyone with ease, and you attain insane speeds effortlessly, but also so boring especially on public roads although a very capable car but it can never get me that excited as the other 2 cars do. Here is the telling part....I bought all 3 cars around same time about a year ago, and currently has 9000 miles on GT3, 2500 miles on GT3 RS and 890 miles on GT2 RS. This says it all...Mark

[@ftlaud911]

Thank you for giving an owners review. You sir are a lucky person who no doubt has earned it. Congrats!!! I hope to get there one day. In the meantime will enjoy my 997 gt3 and 993 c4s. 3 pedals are a must for me. Plan to add more models eventually.

[@MrJWW]

Great summary thanks for sharing and congrats on the amazing collection!😃 dream garage!

[@thesolojourney8955]

You have great taste with cars, incredible choices but what do you think about the Turbo and Turbo S?

[@mqandil]

_ incognito _ thank you. I like the turbo and turbo very much, but they don’t have a wild soul like a GT3, or GT3 RS, or GT4. Said that, The turbo would be a great daily car and possibly even a family car if you have 1 or 2 small children. It is an all weather machine that you could enjoy everyday regardless of the weather, or road. But if you must sin or have an affair then you drive a GT3 or GT3 RS on the weekend. Hope this answers your question

[@mqandil]

Paul Paul Honestly I am never worried about the miles. Only reason I buy the car so I can enjoy them.....I put 46K on my old Carrera GT and ended up selling it after going through few clutches, and I also added 53K on old 458 Ferrari and I would not hesitate to do the same on the GT2 RS or any other car. I had 22K miles on my 991.1 GT3 and 2 engines replaced by Porsche in matter of 3 years before ditching it for the manual GT3.....Only reason I don’t drive GT2 RS much, it is because it really must be driven on track to enjoy it. On the street, to enjoy that car, you either end up in Jail or dead as the limits are so high and you have no sense of speed. I found myself approaching corners 30 or 40 miles higher than I thought as I was going as it feels so stable and you loose sense of speed unless you are constantly staring at the speedometer. The car can’t be fully appreciated or enjoyed on the street. Very capable machine but it wants to put me in jail or in the grave. Take your pick! Mark

[@shadowdrift5574]

Either way, I'd be happy with any of them in my driveway.

[@MonicaHolly143]

@A Oh U need to be parked in a casket

[@reset1101]

This video would fit in any Top Gear / The Grand Tour episode no problem. Brillant James, brilliant.

[@Lifeguruonafence]

Porsche should build a new GT1 road car, just for the hell of it

[@tommihommi1]

maybe they'll participate in the hypercar series

[@stefangrubesic2708]

With the new Hypercar class at Le Mans they maybe will, I hope they will

[@miklas.k]

@John Mitchell Please no 😂

[@moneyparhar]

@John Mitchell no. Flat12

[@blomman3047]

@John Mitchell that's like swapping a 2jz to v8 in supra. don't destroy the 911 history

[@unclewilbur8976]

What is so fascinating about this video is how well you explained the differences and similarities both objective and subjective. You nailed it JWW. I want four of each. ….make that five ….or, seven.

[@MrJWW]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@kenrichardson8225]

Great content again James, manual gearbox wins all the time for me, far more engaging drive! The RS cars have there place on track but on the road , GT3 all day long for me, and that colour is just WOW!

[@joubinnasseri8028]

Awesome video Mr. JWW. I have owned and driven all three cars. I recently traded my manual 997.2 GT3RS for a GT2RS 991 and I have to say, I really miss my GT3RS. The GT3 was more enjoyable in the streets and the sound was more exhilarating. I also have had problems with my GT2RS where I was in the canyons here in California and three times I have had traction control go out on me in the middle of my drives and twice to the dealer. They finally replaced one spark plug for misfire so I and hoping this will be the last time. You were completely right about the GT2RS in that you can't enjoy the car fully unless you are on the track. It's hard driving this car in the streets of Los Angeles. Thank you again for this excellent video.

[@gtclubuk]

Great video, I much prefer stuff like this than "I wrapped my car again" type of nonsense

[@jahangirhussain9701]

Amazing review of the differences between the top 3 GT Porsche’s. Thank you James this is exactly the video I’ve been hoping someone would do.😃

[@SupercarsinGreece]

Great video James as always! Porsche is one of the greatest brands and one of my favorites!

[@6T3RS]

When I jumped out of my 3RS into a 2Rs on track, I felt like I was playing a video game with all the cheat codes. I could Mess up any corner and just stomp the gas to make up for it. Amazing machine

[@maskito4256]

Yes, finally, a longer video. Thank you James for the best content on KZbin.

[@Stentordoc]

Your comments about heel/toe braking are what led me to go from a manual tranny GT3 to a PDK Turbo five years ago. But the most beautiful thing about the manual 991 GT3 is that it matches the revs during downshifts for you (in sport mode)!! This is an underestimated feature that doesn’t seem to get noticed/mentioned enough!! So glad I got back into a manual GT3!

[@billreal76]

The GT2 may be faster, but the GT3's sounds SOO much better!

[@Mangstar87]

Bill Granddaddy exactly

[@aabidamn]

But on track lap time is what matters, not which one sounds better.

[@Mangstar87]

abidamn bullshit, speed and times is not always what matters

[@easternroutemainlinevideos6823]

Dont forget driver enjoyment.

[@kenite7980]

@@aabidamn enjoyment > speed

[@joser709]

I'm not particularly into Porsche... well, I wasn't, until I watched this vid, this completed my conversion into a Porsche fan.

[@LeonLeon-mx1nv]

Great Porsche comparison video, really nailing it lately along with the modern classics series. Especially loved the real world 'first things first' overtake demonstration at 19:15 in the Gt3. Time exposed to danger over in the blink of an eye, terrific!

[@ramshrikhande5526]

Great video Mr. JWW! That was a great insight into the differences between Porsche GT lineup 💯

[@stav55]

Awesome video brother. What really stood out to me is how much less theater there is in a GT2. After listening to the GT3s wail for 14 minutes, it sounded as if you were short shifting the whole time in the GT2, even though we know you were not. I love my GT3. Makes grocery getting that much better :D

[@arned2493]

I drive what I can afford; a 2011 997.2 C2S w/ turbo-model wheels (305 mm rear stickies), and it takes corners like a mother- and swoons through traffic like a rocket, but... bloody hell would I love to have those three in my garage. TBH my dream car would be either that 991 gen 2 manual GT3 or the PDK GT3 RS. The notion of revving to 9K and no turbos required is so, so awesome. Great video James, lucky you my friend!

[@Slin985]

I wanted to see such a video for a very long time! Thanks so much

[@martindean1205]

One of the best Porsche comparison videos i have watched. Very professional James.

[@slytherben]

Really good explanation of how the PDK doesn't upset the balance of the car. I've heard people say that before, but I finally got it. Thanks!!

[@mosamozero]

Saw the word Porsche on notification and I clicked same time

[@adriaanvanwyk7064]

EPIC mate! Nothing beats the sound of that NA flat 6...

[@franciszekkude3228]

This video should have more than a million views! Coming back in a couple of years.

[@christoffergrinsted]

Great reviews and great driving , Thanks James !

[@Kevin96288]

The content on your channel just keeps getting better and better. Really like it.

[@thesolojourney8955]

Had the privilege to sit inside the new GT3 and i fell in love with it, yes someone will always have a higher model with more power and features but ill still take the regular GT3, manual with the carbon seats. 500HP is plenty.

[@adams4658]

Automotive awesomeness!!!! Genuinely brilliant video-

[@johnwhood5791]

Superb vid and a rare back2back comparison of 3 monumental cars. Shame about the weather but impressive 165mph into Stowe Corner with a damp track and vblogging at the same time. 😮

[@lukegilbert7985]

Awesome James! Just fantastic, you understand whats relevant without needless fanboying!

[@rockettingofficial]

Yes mate! Best drivers perform in the wet and you absolutely nailed it. Love me a bit of JWW and Porsche content.

[@AD-mq8ny]

Good driving. This guy just gets better and better.

[@Flip_Angle]

Ok, ok wait! Where did you get your training to drive? Ok, I dont expect an answer but two in a row and very impressive. Your commentary is top notch too. Left foot braking... Impeccable rev match/heel toe... Dude youre better at this than some pros. Not the driving per se but as the entire package. Love these vids.

[@davidgray7542]

Awesome video James. THE PERFECT comprehensive comparison 🙌🏻👌🏼

[@stefanjust1912]

Wonderful and comprehensive comparison which resonates a lot with me.

[@eichler721]

Great video and I love the future view to do what others are not. I would go GT2RS for track killing and the GT3 Manual for daily, canyons and occasional track days.

[@Rob02138]

Very well done Mr. JWW! Respect.

[@chumpyman]

Ive been playing Forza Horizon 4 and since ive picked the GT3 RS ive been watching videos non stop about it. Its my new "lotto" win dream car

[@robertcooke8684]

You could have squeezed more out of that GT2 James BUT!! sensible safe driver you are!!! Good vid!!

[@musicbro8225]

I love the way you pushed those cars; come out easy and steadily get faster. I think you really tested them very well man. I think the seamless gear shifts on the GT3RS suited the track best between the GT3's, the braking into corners and finding the apex was clearly confidence inspiring, you were on it really quick. The GT2 is just a beast! The speed you were catching other cars... That was awesome! :)

[@moizzkhan8546]

Sad cameras don't pick up that amazing Crayon White GT3.

[@Akhon5]

The sound of your GT3 James - rocks ! The GT2 however eats tarmac. The next one head to head 918 vs GT2 RS, would be awesome. BTW I am anxiously waiting for the F12 TDF video, now that is PPF-ed. May be somewhere on the open curves of the French Riviera where you can blast this XX ser. V12 ;). Plus no rain this time :)

[@mrle0719]

I bet the latest GT2 RS is faster in the curves and not much slower out of them than the 918 as it probably is lighter

[@titor8017]

JWW doing his thing. Wish you had a chrono and timed each car. Great video as always

[@taforth]

You’ve clearly become quite the accomplished track driver since I first started watching your channel 👍. BTW, your engine sounds amazing approaching redline 👌!

[@ugottalovett6519]

As usual, James, you nailed it. Great video. Finally some of my questions about these models have been satisfactorily answered. Thank you for the information in your usual entertaining fashion. Looking forward to your next adventure, whatever it is!

[@MrJWW]

Thanks for watching dude !

[@gyrocpu]

Hey James, Another cracking video!! Fantastic cars and great driving as usual. It would be great in such videos to perhaps have some telemetry. Lap times g-force etc but I know not so easy. Great work none the less!!

[@MrJWW]

Thanks Guy. Easier to set up telemetry in my own car but not is press cars - next time I go to the Nurburgring I’d like to overlay or show more data/instrument cluster 👍🏻

[@taforth]

I liked this content (along with your Nurburgring content) so much that I just ‘resubscribed’. You’re feedback on the cars sounds very accurate and fair 👍!

Welcome back!

Sublime track footage, and clearly James you know how to drive. Good video sir as are all your videos!

[@kirk911constantine]

Love the comparison of the 3 cars. While I’d be intoxicated with the speed of the GT2 RS between corners, I think I’d prefer the GT3 RS, as well. Great video. May need to do a similar one with Ferrari. That would be an interesting comparison to the Porsches. Keep up the good work!

Again a Great Video James was looking forward to This one. I like the way you described Nuerbugring As 2 lane British backroad.😎 Open Words your gt3 is the real mens car Natural Aspirated , 9000rpm, the mind blowing sound and Manual Shift you Need to interact with the car continously. The feeling should be much more intense for the driver. As for the Nuerbugring and the Passion to Drive there Could be Nothing better in life than your Manual gt3. Have fun and keep on sharing with us. Rgds from Germany

GT2 for a Turbo charged car still does sound very good

[@dougmaverick3287]

So glad you got the proper manual transmission in your personal car. Who really cares if the PDK is faster if it's less driver focused, less driver engagement and involvement isn't that what really counts in a sports car, it's FUN factor. Enjoy.

[@dilligaf69]

Any chance you’ll be doing similar exhaust mods that you had on your PDK to your manual GT3? Plans for other mods in general? Great video! Love all this Porsche content!!

[@robd3061]

Great video!! One thing...unless it's just the camera's audio, it seems like the GT3 actually sounds a little more special than the GT3 RS. Did you notice that while driving them?

[@MarkHossNorthwestrcclub]

Absolutely FANTASTIC Video James 🙂 And one very few people could, or have ever been able to do, and show to us 👍🏻🙂 So a Huge Thank You from us All for taking the time to do this 🙂 Fantastic driving, (even if you did take the rain with you Again😁😂) and Superb knowledgeable insight and contact 👍🏻 I think the GT3RS is going to be one of the all time great cars, both now, and into the future 👍🏻 It's such an amazing capable and practical supercar 🙂 Keep up the Fantastic work James 👍🏻 Stay Safe All the best, Mark 🙂

[@TheNemy19]

Manual 991.2 GT3’s have an auto blip downshift feature when you turn on the sport function. Not sure if you’re aware of that. It also allows you to flat foot up shift.

[@MrJWW]

Yeah and it is awesome but...what’s the point in having a manual if it’s going to do the rewarding interactions for you #turnitoff

[@TheNemy19]

Mr JWW 100% understandable, but that perfect downshift every time when you’re ringing it out on track can be something else. Especially when your hunting lap times. But engagement is engagement.
