Welcome to world Porsche. There is no substitute. Been lucky in life to have driven several exotics. There has been nothing feels or handles like Porsche. Only I want turbo s someday. Glad you got to drive GT3
That's a sick car. Since we're all dreaming here......My dream car is the 2005 Carrera GT V10. I think that is literally the greatest car ever made. It's crazy that I remember seeing them selling for $375,000 and now I see them selling for more than double that. That would have been a sick investment car for a rich person.
Why would you have the windows down when driving fast in the modern era? As an owner of a 991.1.... I have never driven past 25 mph with the windows down for about 1,000 reasons. As a general rule, open ANY car's windows, even a convertible (with top up), while over 50 mph, and wind buffeting is an issue. Just do not do it, not a problem. I do disagree that she lacks in power at any rpm, but 3-4k RPM's is not a place I spend much time save lower gears in traffic. Nice review.
I believe it’s a natural progression to look past BMW’s towards the next level. It’s already happening to me. 997.1 or .2’s...and the non turbo in a GT3 is very tempting.
Watching this makes me get the itch for driving and speed! All I can do is driving my cheap ass stock 350z around, hopefully someday I will be able to buy something different
Is that Blues Clues car? Definitely my next car but I prefer the 991.1 911 turbo to the Gt3 due to its daily driveability being more compromising and has better usabilty with its back seats and awd all season capabilities. The Gt3 is a better track car than the turbo but what 911 isn't track capable?
Yes it is Blues Clues car 🤙🏼 And totally bro, the 911 turbo is a fantastic car in its own right, i’d honestly love to review one if i could get my hands on it
Man I freaking want one! Wonder if I'd be happy in a 991.2 Carrera though since I don't have the funds for a gt? Is the difference as drastic as a regular 3 series versus an M car?
Any concerns about the high rpm misfire issues that the 991.1 GT3 engines were having? Those seem to have helped the depreciation but that's still a concern for me
The owner of this GT3 hasn’t experienced it and has done multiple track days seriously pushing the car. The car is covered under Porsche CPO warranty for another year and a half i believe & I do recall there being an engine replacement recall for the 991.1, although I did confirm that this specific GT3 is still on its original engine with no issues so far
It deletes both the center & side mufflers. You can also option it with a valved mechanism but this one is the non-valved version so it’s loud all the time 👍🏼
Yes, they are expensive no doubt 😂 And that’s part of why the M3/M4 is such an amazing car. it has so much all around performance for the money. However...when it does come time to upgrade (if ever) and you want something that is an even better car, the GT3 is one of the best options out there in my personal opinion.
Simply Car Things no doubt, my uncle has one that I’ve driven a couple times (I’ve got a short clip driving it on my channel) and it’s an unreal difference that numbers alone don’t do justice. Unfortunately it’s just god damn expensive lol
Simply Car Things yeah I know, wasn’t tryna hate if it came off like that. Just wanted to point that out. The gt3 overall is simply an enthusiast spec. The ultimate car IMO. I need to have one in my life one day lol.
Can understand the midrange torque, since your used to twin turbos from the M4, which would be pushing massive torque midrange. The GT3 engine isn't a Torque monster but it just builds power continuously all the way to 9k 😎
Simply Car Things well ya they’d set up in flames and they would blow out after hard usage... plus the 4.0 is basically a Cup car motor so, therefore, it’ll be able to withstand much more punishment plus it’s available with a manual, my uncles drives a 991.2 GT3 in Carrera White and it is a manual
GT Fanatic I see many high mileage .1 GT3’s out there and many people still own them. I think it’s reasonable to say those issues are blown out of proportion
I’m set on either a GT3, 458, or R8 after I’m done with my M4 🔥
Some amazing options to choose from! Good luck with that search 🤙🏼
@Luqman . You got an M4 right now? I wanna live your life, I’ll be super happy if I have one 😭
M4 is my dreamcar
★F4nT4sY-xMoDz★ @kenny work hard, you’ll have one someday!
@@luqmanbaig2504 thanks bro 😊 definantly will!
Finally driving one, it's the best car ever built to drive.
Professional and informative. Keep moving in this direction and you’ll be up with the very best.
thank you so much my friend 🙏🏼
That sound and that pdk shifts omg
for real man
Current RS3 owner looking seriously at 991.1 GT3s. Good video.
That would be quite the upgrade! The RS3 is a great car as well. Appreciate your comment, let me know how the car search goes.
absolutely wicked, great video as always man.
Thanks so much my guy!
GT3 is one of the best drivers car ever. Engine, chassis, gearbox, looks 👌
100% bro, it's such an amazing vehicle
GT3 991.1 or .2 is my dream car.
Man just eargasm after eargasm, great video!
Thanks so much man! Eargasm for sure!
Welcome to world Porsche. There is no substitute. Been lucky in life to have driven several exotics. There has been nothing feels or handles like Porsche. Only I want turbo s someday. Glad you got to drive GT3
Thanks man, there truly is no substitute it's a very unique and fulfilling driving experience
Or you can have both. Gabe is GOALS
What a beauty. Brands from the VW Group have been growing on me since I purchased my TTRS. The sound of that car is astonishing😍
I absolutely love the TTRS, what a wicked car! But yes, the GT3 is an incredibly special car
That's a sick car. Since we're all dreaming here......My dream car is the 2005 Carrera GT V10. I think that is literally the greatest car ever made. It's crazy that I remember seeing them selling for $375,000 and now I see them selling for more than double that. That would have been a sick investment car for a rich person.
Fantastic video❤ very informative and well explained
That’s actually the change I just made. Went from the 2017 M4 to the 991.1 GT3 . Prices on these cars probably aren’t going down much either.
Congrats man, what a car to own. Yea i honestly don't see them dropping in value any more than what they're currently at

Yes i totally agree, the natural progression is very accurate and Porsche fits that next car dream very well
Do a follow up vid with a 991.2 GT3
Awesome video and wow that car sounds sick!
Thank you so much Brent! That means a ton man!
Watching this makes me get the itch for driving and speed! All I can do is driving my cheap ass stock 350z around, hopefully someday I will be able to buy something different
Same man! Just being around these cars makes me want to go out for a drive
They make wind diffusers for that buffeting. But yes without it’s bad.
Very cool, i'll let the owner know about that!

Great video - I have both .. F80 M3 CS and 991 GT3. Either I drive one or the other, I always take the long route to buy milk.
What an excellent duo of sports cars to own! I would be taking the long route every time as well 😆🤙🏼
please tell me you have the .2 GT3
GT Fanatic - it’s in my channel 👍
db8gsr out of curiosity why the .1? if it’s financial wise, it doesn’t matter
#milkrun
almost 3 YEARS LATER.. the value of these cars with low miles is at 135k+... 3 YEARS LATER IT STIL HOLDS ITS VALUE!! PORSCHE IS GOAT
I went from an M4 to AMG GTS.. Waiting to pick up a GT3 now
congrats!! you'll love it. I reviewed an AMG GTR earlier this year and also really enjoyed that thing
It's the perfect upgrade from an M3.
Provided you haven't got a family, that is.
Other than that it's the greatest car on the planet. Or one of them.
Haha, it may not be the most practical but if it means owning a GT3 that's a small sacrifice i'm willing to make
Man I freaking want one! Wonder if I'd be happy in a 991.2 Carrera though since I don't have the funds for a gt? Is the difference as drastic as a regular 3 series versus an M car?
Yes. Yes it is. I’ve owned 987 CS 981 CS 991.1 carrera 991.2 carrera 981 GT4 and 991.1 GT3
@@xlifelessdaysx Nice! A 981 S is another one I'm considering. Trying to decide if it's worth parting with my E92 M3 to get either that or a 991.2 🙂
Would you take an M2 CS or 991.1 GT3 now that prices are hitting 100k on the 991.1’s?
What kind of question is that? The M2CS is garbage compared to a GT3.
Any concerns about the high rpm misfire issues that the 991.1 GT3 engines were having? Those seem to have helped the depreciation but that's still a concern for me
The owner of this GT3 hasn’t experienced it and has done multiple track days seriously pushing the car.

You're putting out great content man. Keep it up!
Appreciate it so much Kevin! thnx for watching 🤙🏼
So this is a center delete only? no side muffler delete?
It deletes both the center & side mufflers. You can also option it with a valved mechanism but this one is the non-valved version so it’s loud all the time 👍🏼
Motor is a known, guaranteed ticking time bomb.. RIP when it goes.
Wow my dream car
One of my dream cars as well!
Amazing!!!! 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
I speak spanish (im from Chile 🇨🇱) but your videos are very helpful, thanks for share!!! I have a BMW M4 too!! 😉😉😉
...here I am with an f80 m3 looking for the next thing.. and I come across this video. It has to be fate.
it’s a sign! the owner of this GT3 also has an F80 as well and loves both cars a ton
@@SimplyCarThings I love my f80 but to be honest... its not a gt3 lol
991.1 was 2016-2017 ?
the 991.1 GT3 was from model years 2014 - 2016 👍
For like triple the price 😂
For 3×M3🤣
gotta set goals for yourself man 😂 used ones are like $100-$120k which is still pricey but def not triple the price
14nightwolves used M4s go for 40k so yeah triple the price lol
Yes, they are expensive no doubt 😂 And that’s part of why the M3/M4 is such an amazing car. it has so much all around performance for the money.

"Shoots up like a needle in air compressor" whats that supposed to mean
It revs fast
it means the needle on the tac moves very fast
🤩🤩🤩
It’s not a pure drivers car unless it’s the manual spec.
This is true, but even with the PDK i’d say it’s damn close
Simply Car Things yeah I know, wasn’t tryna hate if it came off like that. Just wanted to point that out. The gt3 overall is simply an enthusiast spec. The ultimate car IMO. I need to have one in my life one day lol.

Spot on with your comment man, I couldn't get over how sonorous the engine note is all the way to its redline
This engine revs so fast and sounds so damn good, that it more than compensates for the relatively low torque of the turbo cars.
I thought you traded your car in bro lol would of been hella bougie
haha man that would be insane, maybe one day years down the line 🤣
Say "napped'" if your M4 has been kidnapped...
👍
Omar the car is just a glorified VW Beetle ! Just joking 🙃 fantastic car but not a BMW
the best beetle i’ve ever driven! 🤣🤣
Never that shitty VW will be an ''upgrade'' from a BMW lol. The BMW is better car
Do you have a skin condition bro you should get it checked out
What kind of comment is this?
The 991.1 isn’t worth it because that 3.8 is unreliable, the 991.2 is a much better all round car
interesting, what problems does it have? I know they issued an engine recall but what else?
Simply Car Things well ya they’d set up in flames and they would blow out after hard usage... plus the 4.0 is basically a Cup car motor so, therefore, it’ll be able to withstand much more punishment plus it’s available with a manual, my uncles drives a 991.2 GT3 in Carrera White and it is a manual
GT Fanatic I see many high mileage .1 GT3’s out there and many people still own them. I think it’s reasonable to say those issues are blown out of proportion
Simply Car Things that is a totally fair statement, the .2 is just better tho
GT Fanatic No doubt, that 4.0L has a lot more punch in the mid range of the power band from what i’ve heard
Not really an upgrade buddy
Huh? 🤔
