What's My Choice? Porsche GT3 or AMG GT R - Only One! | HEAD TO HEAD

[@Shmee150]

Two very fine machines, but let me have a go at putting them head to head to make a choice as to which I prefer! It's the Porsche 911 GT3 vs Mercedes-AMG GT R

[@supercarsandmotorsabba2612]

Shmee150 I prefer The Mercedes-AMG GT R but green colour is The best!!! SHI67 MEE FOLLOW ME ON MY CHANNEL😎 Supercars and motor Abbá Great video

[@jvst_vyl3]

Shmee150 the amg gtr because the gtr is a beast

[@socalseth]

Gumball! Gumball!! Gumball!!! Gumball!!!! Gumball!!!!! Gumball!!!!!

[@davidmassy545]

Shmee150 are you going to any of the Formula 1 races this year

[@davidgibbo6542]

Why don't you have a green center line on your steering wheel??

[@attilaszolnoki8604]

I think the GT R is a stunning car. The noise it makes is just amazing. Winner for me.

[@helloworld-bu1vk]

Attila Szolnoki Same here. The GT3 RS would be equally cool 😉

[@johnair1]

Two awesome Cars. GT3 more track focused while the GT R is more usable as a Daily

[@MrGrazzhoppa]

TDFXX Its a GT3. Not a GT3 RS -_-

[@attilaszolnoki8604]

Me.Grazzhoppah I think he meant if it was a GT3 RS instead of the GT3.

[@helloworld-bu1vk]

Attila Szolnoki Exactly

[@Altezzadom]

I still love the GT-R over the GT3. The sound, the looks... it is a well put machine!

[@madgamer574]

The sound of the GT3 is just orgasmic.... It gives me goosebumps

[@tonydmty1234567]

lovely sound !;-)

[@vicko22100]

For me it's definitely going to be GT3

[@thedownshiftchannel]

Mukesh kumar totally agree! Both excellent cars but the GT3 is the one

[@danielong911]

GT3 is the real car.

[@revolutionx9370]

Sike af its not even the RS

[@maxjelley4055]

@@revolutionx9370 the rs is a track car its not as enjoyable as a manual gt3, ive driven both and the gt3 puts you i so much more control, it feels epic above 5500 rpm

[@houseyUK]

@@danielong911 had a GT3, got a GT-R inbound. Some of us do both...real cars. ;)

[@sample.text.]

Both cars are phenomenal in their own right, but the GT R just holds a special place in my heart.

[@darrenparry2891]

AMG GTR for me

[@a.3160]

keep dreaming

[@supaahflyy]

@@a.3160 so his preference is a dreaming? Ok

[@DamianSupra]

GT3 = Precise, sharp sports car GTR = Classy, luxurious hot rod

[@emyrilhan]

Iceman7 the GTR is much more precise than u think, it is 2 seconds faster around the nürburgring than the GT3. I know lap times are just a part of the story when it comes to these type of cars, but that just proves the GTR is not just a “ hot rod “

[@HypnOlli]

The thing about those laptimes is the time made by the Merc was done by a magazine (sport auto) and time of the gt3 was made by Porsche themselves; I think if the time was made by Merc themselves it would be several seconds faster!

[@mrmonday42]

Hot rods typically don't handle very well. They are both sports cars.

[@GohardGTRSCars]

Nordschleife lap times German magazine SportAuto: GTR = 7.11, GT3 = 7.18 > don't underestimate the GTR ;-)

[@aaronm1246]

GoHardGT3RS Marketingring lap time don't mean anything. It's about how it drives, not whether it beats another car by a minuscule amount which was probably paid for anyway.

[@bnastali]

I love the way Tim makes you feel part of the driving process. He seems like a cool friend who just happens to own a number hard-core super cars.

[@peterrabin4374]

Bill Nastali surely he leases and uses financing . Hardly the same as owning

[@jjoomusic]

@@peterrabin4374 its called leverage

[@christopherharrison7469]

Having had both cars, and recently acquiring the AMG GT-R, the latter one is an amazing vehicle. The endless power and torque and the sound of the V8 is amazing!

[@domonkoskiss5952]

AMG for me all the time. It just feels so much special to me.

[@DouglasNjoroge]

What you are doing is absolutely brilliant. Using your car and involving. Most guys just use their car in traffic. Love it. Keep it up. Fantastic work. Both cars are great. GT_R for me though

[@Diffrent-33]

AMG for sure 😍💥💪🏼

[@shanescarlife]

I expected this video. I also expected you'd not be able to pick a favourite. Lol similar cars, yet so very different. Good thing you have both! Cheers, Tim!

[@dwitapratamaigede6719]

Winnipeg Car Life you are correct.. Simmiliar car, yet so different

[@itsepocx]

...He did pick a favourite...

[@cnmperformance8414]

For me it is the GTR all day everyday! Love the AMG!!!😍🔥🔥

[@gerdbb]

Certainly one of the best videos I've seen from you! you perfectly worked out the differences!

[@atlanticiacomjr9951]

THE SOUND OF THE GT3!! Even my over used headphones, it's just such a thrilling sound!! And that's without owning the car!!

[@biking261]

Would the 911 Turbo S be more of a competitor to the AMG GT R ?? a little softer and more of a GT than the GT3

[@tominotopia]

id say no, both GT R and GT# are supposed to be track beasts, 911 Turbo S is more in line with standard GT (although turbo is surely much quicker)

[@SteveC-Shaman]

Turbo S with proper mods is a monster. A 720S eater.

[@PressurePlayerStudio]

EvoX with propper mods is a monster. A 720s eater Nissan GTR with propper mods is a monster. A 720s eater Smart car with propper mods is a monster. A 720s eater what a dumb comment

[@SteveC-Shaman]

We'll see in a few years when mods become common for both cars. Bolt-on 991.1s are running high 170s in the 1/2 mile right now, on pump fuel. And with their drivetrain, they can use the power almost everywhere.

[@aaronm1246]

AKF .gaming Not sure about the Smart xD That's a little farfetched, but I get what you mean. And the 911 Turbo S is small fry for a 720S, unless it's INSANELY modified to a high standard.

[@TheFirst1278]

They’re both amazing cars. We are blessed that we live in a time to get to enjoys such pieces of machinery.

[@tumbodotcon]

Love that green on the GT3. Classic good looks. I've seen the GTR in person and it has a bit of theatre to it. Pretty sexy. On a side note, pretty sure the GTR is good on a track too. Didn't it have a faster time than the GT3 and GT3RS at the Top Gear track. And the ring...by 8 seconds?!

[@L4DFRED]

Not sure if it was your camera angles or what, but I found this to be a very realistic perspective of driving these cars, too often watching through KZbin everything looks the same, great video

[@uniquelyseenhere3951]

Excellent video. Thanks Tim for putting logic and reasoning regarding your selection; and while most of us would lust at experiencing the performance of the GT3 daily, the limited functionality just doesn’t make it practical t do so. I agree in that the merc does an exceptional job in presenting the more purposeful and well rounded super performer. Thanks again for sharing.

[@adeelcyril3339]

Great content Tim. Great analogy choosing between two children. Can’t go wrong with either choice. I prefer the GT3 but I totally respect the AMG GT R. Thanks for sharing.

[@sdlausen1]

*both for sale next month*

[@krisi.2011]

Nah shmee is nowhere near super cars of London, or Archie or tge .... tim actually drives his cars and enjoys them !!!!!

[@TheBigBiskuit]

Great comparison of two awesome cars!!

[@emilyw3192]

Because I'm young and stupid and can cope with a bit of back pain, I'd choose the GT3. Great video Tim 😁

[@wackyack3165]

Tim, I think you have already made the best choice - have both of them !!

[@jonesa8922]

AMG GTR 👍👍👍

[@Infesteringmole]

AMG. very unique looking and sexy inside. stay safe Shmee

[@zaheerkader7426]

Amg wins this one shmee

[@resnonverba137]

A good and well-rounded comparison. For what it's worth I agree with your conclusion.

[@mqandil]

These 2 cars are so great. Every time you hop into the GTR you think it is the one you would keep if you have to make a choice but then you drive the GT3 shortly after and you change your mind again and you say this is the one. Great video as this is the same exact though that goes through anyone who owns both. But I must say if you live in the US, where the highway speeds are limited to 70 mph, the GTR frustrates you as you could never experience the full potential of the GTR, and sure you could take it to the track but then the GT3 has the edge. So I must say if you live in the US probably the GT3 makes much more sense.

[@Yojikman]

Great comparison Tim, 100% agree with you!

[@gothychris]

These early GTR videos makes alot of sense as to why you've got the GTR pro, the GT cabrio, and the GT Black series on the way right now.

[@HypnOlli]

The thing about those laptimes is the time made by the Merc was done by a magazine (sport auto) and time of the gt3 was made by Porsche themselves(also took some parts out of it to save weight); I think if the time was made by Merc themselves it would be several seconds faster no doubt! ..What do u guys think?

[@samporter4882]

Head and shoulders above the rest. Shmee is a legend

[@rgbrowning12]

Somehow each video keeps getting better - splendid work Tim!

[@TimmerleonRC]

I've owned the 991.2 and GTR. THE GTR is so much more special and gives goosebumps every drive ❤️

[@garymorrison785]

No brainer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Porsche all day

[@arnabdas1096]

those cars are awesome....

[@Shmee150]

For sure, I feel very lucky

[@marcvanderbent9262]

It's not that often you hear and see a screaming GT3 flyby on the autobahn and having the feel that Tim took you along for the ride in his gelbgrun jet cockpit... great!

[@skrads]

I love my GT3 and find it comfortable but I have the 18 ways seats. So maybe the GT3 would be the winner with that configuration? Haha. Great video. Enjoy both, you don’t have to choose.

[@AlejandroP1980s]

Hey I'm New to this may I ask you a question I'm looking to buy a Porsche soon but don't know which one should I get the carrera base or gt3 also what is the difference on gas consumption is it the same or different

[@georgschweier694]

Love Porsche GTS

[@williamwilson7857]

I think that you have answered at 23:56. GT3 is better choice as it is made for track and drive and enjoy. I would choose S class as daily drive and GT3 for race.

[@spadgm]

Such a hard choice, for me it would be the GT3 just, and I do mean only just, by the tiniest of margins, the GTR is just mind blowing!

[@xanman1st]

Really excellent video Tim!Well well done!

[@triss23199]

the shifts on the GT3 are so satisfying to watch haha

[@LucSwildens]

Nice video Tim!! love the 2 cars!!

[@GeneralmoffblogsBlogspotmoffvs]

You’ve been doing some great comparison videos recently. I particularly enjoyed the video when you drove all of your cars on the Nurburgring circuit

[@Arteryvein-z3w]

Driving in comfort is my priority . I'll go for the AMG GTR too

[@mr2i]

Flashing the Shmee logo, shows every color of cars tested or driven in video..? but then what the golden/yellow flash at the end?

[@MotorStorm]

The Porsche is more special but the AMG win in overall practicality. It would be fun to keep the Porsche as it is and keep upgrading the AMG like a project car

[@westpalmdoc]

not really. he made it impractical with the dumb roll cage and horrid bucket seats then bitched about it. a GT3 with no roll cage and no buckets will happily go to a track just as a benz GTR will.

[@Khaled.3y]

How do they compare in terms of oil consumption? Any top ups during the RingWingTing trip?

[@Shmee150]

No, nothing required by any actually

[@zors5188]

Both are amazing cars. But for me, Porsche take the lead ! Amazing video :)

[@stephanmoore9234]

Well Porsche is solely a performance brand, while Mercedes is a high end luxury car brand that also make performance cars like the GTR which is a beast! It all depends on what you prefer, but at the end of the day my choice would be a Porsche. Specifically the 911 GT3 RS which is my Dream car! I currently own a 718 cayman, which is an amazing car as well!

[@TheMezzy712]

@5:10 correction. The shifter is to the right.

[@mohamedismail777]

This is one of the best videos you have made. Thank you :). I will always choose the GTR :)

[@kevinjohnson4899]

Jolly good review. You drive them like I would. I'm a VW BMW Porsche man. You've convinced me the Merc is the better car. I would however take the Turbo S over all.

[@arkadyvestel5639]

@Schmee150 Would you prefer the GTR in its best element (ie Autobahn) or GT3 in its best element (Mtn. Road)?

[@andrearecanatesi9244]

Not even a comparison... I had a 2020 E63S AMG kept it for 6 months and sold it, the money that they loose it’s unreal, Porsche still has the best resale value between the two and looks, my GT3 will be here in 2 days and can’t wait to get it. Best trade ever

[@Rick2010100]

S-Class for the Autobahn and daily drive - GT3 for the weekend.

[@ChipZilla69]

AMG GTR is my favorite car you have owned. It looks awesome in black.

[@goldensunset4210]

Love your videos, keep it up!

[@martijn1308]

Where do you buy a sports/supercar for..... not for going to the shop but for some mountain roads i think... my opinion😃

[@xDubFreak]

The Turbo S would be a good Autobahn alternative to the GT3

[@DSongMixer]

Fil Cona but you will miss the sound of the natural aspirated exhaust sound :(

[@SteveC-Shaman]

Absolutely. When you're doing 200kph and put your foot in it, and it accelerates like it's in 2nd... that's the Turbo S.

[@peter-radiantpipes2800]

Does your Porsche also have the dual speedometers? One digital and on analog? Just curious if they got rid of that. Always seemed weird to me. My 2009 has it.

[@dsr874]

Hi Tim. Will both these cars stay in the collection when the TVR comes along? Murray design with the Cosworth V8 reported to put out 500bhp and quoted as being a 90k car with 135k performance figures.

[@w-james9277]

GT3. It's Smaller, gives you more feedback, exciting to drive and it comes with a manual.

[@metakmoto]

Awesome review 😁 both of these are incredible

[@JamesGracias]

Shmee ur videos are awesome. Keep up the good work 😃

[@thefoss7759]

Does the 2018 gt3 still have the function of disengaging the clutch if you pull both paddles ?

[@toussantlbisso]

Excellent conclusion Shmee ! My sentiments precisely 🚗🏁🚗🏁! How long before Focus Red time ? 📣Another awesome vid Cheers 👍

[@craigschonborn]

Your honesty is refreshing. Do you have any plans to review the GT3 Touring? I think that would be very interesting, as it is slightly more practical / daily, so maybe that would bring its position more in line with your Gtr.

[@gomorel5866]

The gt3 sounds like a the piston gods cry.. Just beautiful

[@tonyknox4415]

Shmee150, even though it will make it slightly heavier upfront having the bigger fuel tank makes sense especially the amount of miles you drive making it a proper grand touring car Tim

[@HelmuthUrcuyo]

GTR! What a beauty

[@CobusOlivierCMO]

Shmee i was wondering since you had right hand drive cars and a left hand drive cars now too, which one is the better position to be driving in left hand or right hand? This question has been bugging me for a while now.

[@IvanJensendk]

Shmee150, comparing the Mercedes-AMG GT R towards the BMW F90 M5 Comp, how much softer is the GT R?

[@ChipZilla69]

You are a lucky boy Tim. I can still enjoy my m lights which are terrific all rounders to drive.

[@Terry12345]

What a fun video! I can't afford either but enjoyed riding with you in both. I really like that GT R!

[@ferrarienzo38]

I have been growing toward the GT3 but The AMG GTR is just sooo lovely I would choose the AMG :D

[@msl5253]

Sounds like Shmee should have gotten the regular bucket seats in the GT3 (or no)? They would be more comfortable (i.e. less restrictive), and variable.

[@ChasingGiants23]

[@johnbach3057]

Great review of your cars Shmee. I think I would choose the Porsche.

[@HamzaTheQ]

Shmee what’s the updated 0-60 time in the GTR if it has been improved?

[@itsepocx]

So Shmee likes the black german beauty more, because she is wider overall (not just the hips). He also likes his position near the back ^^ On a serious note, great review of the cars! I would probably choose the GT3 to drive it on the Nordschleife :D
