I'd take the S/T over the 3RS any day! These newer cars, for years now have no flex in the adhesive that holds the windscreen to the chassis/frame. It cracks much easier this way. Windscreen glass is actually fairly strong but all glass needs to be able to flex to prevent breakage.

It makes sense. The GT3 RS is a track car. If you took it to the track every other weekend, you'd never consider replacing it with the S/T, even a GT3 manual would be a better option. But for the road? Hands down, the S/T is the dream. I'd buy it with the comfy seats, no roll cage, and black-on-black or black with a fun exterior color and drive the hell out of it.

As a restorer of early air-cooled 911's and owner of a 986 Boxster, I'd love to try a modern manual 911 and see just how much 911'ness is retained in the 991/992's. They look enormous to me, but suspect as soon as you sit in them they shrink around you.

[@pjay3028]

Do the Porsche Experience. I did it a few weeks ago, you get to drive a 992 round their handling circuit for 90 minutes so you get a really good feel for the car. In my opinion the 992 has very little 911 left in it. The C2S I drove felt soft, lacked feedback and had absolutely no sensation of being rear engined whatsoever. I would prefer my 997 any day, it was a real eye opener. If I wanted a nice daily driver the 992 would be great, but that's not what I want from a 911.

[@rusty911s2]

I own 992 touring and did install ST clutch and flywheel. It transformed car dramatically, such an experience, it’s hard to drive , actually it’s harder to start moving but ones you on the move it’s so fast reving . I put 5k miles in 4 months and can not stop driving. I totally agree is just so much fun to drive lower grip high powered car. (Not that gt3 is low grip but much less than RS) over all I think it’s just a pinnacle of engineering (I have a touring with ST parts not real ST) I do not see any other manual modern car delivering such a experience priced under million .Great video!!!!

Ingenious to do a real lie detector test I own an RS. Used to own a manual GT3. I don’t need a lie detector to say the manual GT3 was more fun on the road.

But instead of trading it in for a more subdued 911, I ordered a Mazda Mx 5. Now I have both worlds - a super car for the track and a fun manual that won’t get me into trouble on the street.

Most people will be much better off with the ST. The GT3 RS is a track car and requires you being able to drive, it is likely why we so many being crashed. The RS looks much better, it's one of the most aggressive cars on the road. A larger percentage of the cars life will be held on the road. To enjoy the Porsche GT3RS you have to be right on the limit and at a much higher speed, the ST you will be getting close to 100% of it's limitations which you can get to on a public road. Really they are aimed at two different kind of drivers. The ST reminds me of the same qualities in a Mazda MX5, it's pure driving without any interference. It comes down to where will you be using the car the most and what you want out of the car. Gonna throw a curve ball n say i think it'd prefer a 911 Turbo s as it does all things n what is left over get a beater of a MX5.

[@JWL-UK]

Got a very similar situation with my V6 F-type RWD manual transmission. Everyone says get a V8 because they've never ever driven a manual F-type. When you do, on roads shown here, you just won't care that it has 150hp less as it just doesn't matter.

[@DFLVW]

gt3rs is an unbelievable track weapon... having never driven one but according to stuff I heard on KZbin its only that. it is a magnificent piece of machinery if you are towing it from one track or another. but most of enjoyment you get from a car is more that track days. its being able to take it on a road trip, being able to actually drive it to a track day and not regretting it... that's why I believe the sweet spot on the 992 line up is not the 3rs, not the gt3 or even the turbo s... I believe it's the new gts.

[@bamboosho0t]

When Mat test-drove the S/T when it debuted, It was clear that his mind was turning. It's the daily driver version of the RS. If I lived near a track like Limerock or the Nurburgring, I'd take the GT3RS. But if 98% of your driving involves motorways, b-roads, S/T.

The tendency to tram line, or follow changes in road surface camber, is probably NOT inherent in the ST just because it's an ST. The biggest factor will simply be the front end toe setting. In other words, you can dial that tendency up or down in either car.

Both cars are great. Since I would not take it to track very much I think I would get more use and fun out of the S/T. The trunk space and manual would help make up my mind.
