    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.

  • @CriminalOne
    @CriminalOne Месяц назад

    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.

  • @wjohnsonism
    @wjohnsonism 4 года назад

    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.

    • @SimplyCarThings
      @SimplyCarThings  4 года назад

    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?

    • @SimplyCarThings
      @SimplyCarThings  4 года назад

    • @SimplyCarThings

      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

      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.

    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 😎
