I wish my only struggle in life debating on buying a gt2 or gt3 rs
Suplex Shea I know right! This would be a hard choice to choose, if have to think about it over a Bottle Of Jack Daniels !! But on the other hand to be able to afford to buy one i would Defiantly buy them both !
Life is all about comparison shopping bro, whether its a Big Mac vs a Quarter Pounder or 2 overpriced Porsches!
I'm trying to decide whether to purchase silver GT2 996 from Japan. Bargain at under $20 but seller has less than ideal feedback. =(
It could be if you own enough Apple stock!
@@edleifer6719 haha, my index fund has 20% apple and i actually hit a mill net worth this year because of it
Its almost impossible for a car enthusiast to not want a GT3RS after driving it !! Its that good
But the 720 breaks down all the time 😂
Now
Yea I’ve heard that the 720S isn’t the most reliable car out there as well
What is the time on nurb?
I've had three 720s McLarens they do not break down all the time I've had a few problems with some minor glitches and that's it
and it's *not* a Porsche.
Both are awesome cars. The torque of the GT2RS is tremendous. The 9000 RPM red line on the GT3RS and it’s acceleration once it hits 4000 RPMs is spine tingling. The GT3RS still hits 100 miles an hour in 7 seconds. In case you were thinking the GT3RS is slow. It’s track times also equal that of the new Ford GT. Speed wise as far as track times the 2RS and 3RS are fairly close especially on shorter tighter circuits.
The data can be at Fastlaps.com.
Even at the Ring which is in excess of 12 miles long the 3RS is only 9 seconds behind Despite being down 200 hp. This gives you an idea of the cornering and handling prowess of the 3RS which does turn in sharper due to its weight advantage and can carry more speed longer before having to break for the turn in points. Best of all it’s Engine is naturally aspirated and a product of the motor sport division which is also found in the GT3R and RSR race cars from the factory. The GT2RS has the standard 3.8 turbo S engine modified with larger turbos and is not a motor sport engine.
This reviewer is not alone in selecting the Gt3RS over the GT2RS. The majority of the journalist and reviewer‘s have chosen the Gt3RS over GT2RS when made to choose.
Bottom line...they are both epic and you can’t go wrong with either
991.2 Gt3 manual is the pick of the bunch
Gt2 rs is too much for the road
While gt3 rs is well enough and that exhaust difference tho
Totally agree. Too much power to be enjoyed on the road. Perfect if it is a track toy.
@Pedro nah for what it is the GT3 RS is good value for money.
@Pedro The GT2 RS is basically the fastest thing you can get (performance wise). For that price its exctually cheap, there are million dollar cars that are made for handling and this beats them.
Base 911 is enough for the road...
But the 911 turbo s is already good enough
My UV 2016 GT3RS will be 4 years old in August, i have had 0 issues with it !!! I have never had a bad/depressing day since owning any 911, just something special about a 911, the grip and go-kart handling never gets old.
Yes GT2 RS no good for road use
Gt3 still harsh for the road ..... the one to buy if you have plenty cash is the GT3 🤩 best all rounder Porsche do
The 991.2 Gt3 RS is surprisingly good on the road. I would buy a 718 GT4 for road. It is much cheaper than a GT3.
aln74 I went from a 991.2 GT3 to a 991.2 GT3 RS and the RS is hardly any less comfortable than the regular GT3. It is slightly louder as far as road noise but it’s not a lot worse and it’s not like the GT3 was quiet anyways
@@jameswillard1Livability is the similar to each other with gt3 being slight better?
Great to see this video, brother! I just got a 991 GT3 a couple of weeks ago myself. Such a lovely sports car but it has all the right ingredients for ultra high performance driving. People who don't want the PDK but haven't driven it just don't understand how much performance you get from the gearbox. Actually, if you just stick it in PDK Sport and let it shift, it's bloody amazing.
This is why we love Porsches, am I right? :) Keep up the great work!
Glad you're enjoying your GT3. I love the way they rev up to 9000rpm.
@@888mf4 There's not a gear head on the planet who doesn't like to hear an engine like that! :)
I’ll pick the 3RS sound over the V10 anyday, much more Motorsport snd high pitch.
Which V10?
@@NiggazHomie im guessing huracan/r8 because the lfa and carrera gt put up a big fight foe best sound
@@arijones3925 He said over the V10 which implifies that he is thinking of a particular car. After reading the title of the video I got more confused. I could only think of the Carrera GT because it's the only Porsche with a V10 that is street legal. But a GT3 RS and a Carrera GT are 2 different cars.
@@NiggazHomie
He meant the Lambo Hurucan Performante mentioned by the reviewer as a comparison between it and the GT3.
Superb to see both these cars tested back to back! The 🍩’s at the start also are epic! 🙌
Thanks DG
I have a 991.2 gt3 rs. I really love that you like this car
Fantastic car Walter
888MF thanks
I’ve always loved everything about the GT3 RS over GT2 RS. Seems like it would be a lot more of an exciting experience on public roads.
I really dislike when people do donuts. I rather see the tires work hard in the corners.
I totally agree, and I don’t see the point in destroying expensive tires and working the diff/trans/cooling system so hard just to watch the car go in circles .....yet we are in the minority because apparently most people somehow find it fascinating 🤔
I really enjoy your videos fella, you manage to convey the differences between performance cars in a way I can understand even though I've never driven such metal (one day I hope), so thanks for your efforts.
Thanks RM
Awesome Comparison video 🙌🏽💯 Massive Porsche fan myself. The 4.0 flat six N/A engine is one of the best ever made in my opinion. With the price difference between the two cars being £160,000 and due to the powers of depreciation, you could get a GT3 RS and a second hand 720S!! Best of both worlds!
Yes everyone, buy the GT3 and then maybe im able to get a GT2😁. If only!!!
Great video. Both amazing weapons from Porsche. Lovely to see them back to back. Massive respect for the 2RS, but GT3RS for me please ... in that spec! 😎
Thanks Matt. The 991.2 GT3 RS is incredible.
888MF I’ve not been in a 991.2 but driven a 997.2 GT3 and was sublime.
Would you sell the 4ltr for one of these??
I already knew that !!! My ears told me so !!! And the 3RS is stupid fast on public roads anyway!!! But the extra bling on the 2RS is stunning!!! Both PHENOMENAL race cars !!!!
Thanks for your advice. Both cars nobody is buying.... GT3 or turbo you can use daily
Glad you enjoyed the video Carlos
I like the turbo sound on the gt2 rs
I like the look of the GT2 RS
can you please describe the reasons/differences why you prefer the 991.2 over the 991.1 gt3rs?
Porsche have made the 991.2 GT3 RS much more entertaining all round. It is a more accomplished car.
@@888mf4 ? that does not really tell me anything
@@Elliott23232323 Fixed entry understeer/exit oversteer, broader torque curve, more HP/TQ, more downforce(partly from further releaving lift), looks, different sound from Cup vs road going derived engine, soild suspension bushings. 3 things I would change to 12 inch wide rear wheels(instead of 12.5) with 6mm less +offset for the 325/30r21 tires(proportionally more front end grip), 4.2L flat-6 with 550PS and 500Nm(369 ft.lbs) that revs to 9000 rpm and a slightly wider front track width(10mm total).
@@gen1c8rs88 thanks!
Thanks for posting another great video Mark. It’s nice to have a distraction from this virus issue we’re all dealing with.
I live in Boca Raton. Glad to see you were in the area. Wish I had known. I love the GT3RS
Thanks! Great content as usual. Really appreciating it in this crazy time. A bit of escapism. Thanks for giving us something to smile to! 🙏🏽
Glad you enjoyed it
Every other channel that reviewed both cars back to back have said the gt2rs is on another level from the gt3rs
Well I own three Porsches, including a GT3 RS 4.0 and a 981 Spyder. I have also had a 964 Turbo 3.6, 964 Speedster, 996 GT3 and GT4, so I think I am qualified to give my opinion. All car reviews are subjective anyway Allen. So buy the one that you enjoy. I just try to give people my perspective.
Lost some points saying you can't use a manual as a daily driver haha. Otherwise, great video!
I think he meant his 997.2 gt3rs specifically. The clutch is heavy. It’s basically a leg press machine in your car if you drive it in a traffic full city. You do get used to it but you’d get a sore quads which makes daily driving it less safe. On open road with less traffic, it gives you a very satisfying feeling. I’m sure he wouldn’t have said so if it had a clutch assist like a normal 911.
If your quads get sore from pressing a clutch pedal you seriously need to reassess your fitness level. Sheeesh!
Overbuilt Limited Have you sat in the car before since you claim such bold statement?
Mostly, this video did 2 things for me. 1) made me want a GT3-RS even more, and 2) made me want to be in Florida, where the roads and weather are much better than here
The weather is better for sure. However the speed limits are quite strictly enforced!! But they have some good race tracks.
I can highly recommend both of those decisions 😂. The roads are flat and smooth, but you need to visit North Carolina for the ultimate driving roads.
@@pierceproductions3538 is that where the Tail of the Dragon is?
Winnipeg Car Life Yes! Tail of the Dragon spans North Carolina and Tennessee. Fantastic roads, I’ve driven it once, but my neighbor goes up every year with his challenge stradale or lotus.
@@pierceproductions3538 sounds absolutely terrible... Lol!
Good video :) all PDK sport does is keep revs high and auto change up as far as I’m aware it doesn’t alter shift times or anything else etc etc
I guess there’s a huge difference in pricing between the UK and the US. On a used car market, a 2018 720 S is basically a $240,000 car at this point, while a nice 2018 GT2RS It’s probably right at $290K. So, there is definitely a difference in price, but not nearly as much as it is in the UK.
Yes, there is a big difference in the UK. It seems McLaren have really taken a beating on the used market.
I like Turbo S for the road, power like a gt2 but comfort like a base model
Now I am sure what my dream car is. Thanks. When you said “...I guess you can’t feel the acceleration...” Well I did. The way the car gathered up the countryside and the sound...I was right there. Best car segment ever. Well done.
One thing he pointed out is really true. Porsche listens to their customers. This is something really fabulous and that makes Porsche the top of the list.
i mean you could be right but you didnt try that accelaration with the gt2rs, you were just in traffic but with the gt3rs you went to desert roades and just said it was better, I dont think it was fair
I did try the acceleration, we just couldn't film it.
@@888mf4 ok then, keep up with the good videos and I apreciate that you, unlike many others, see the comments
Fun fact: GT2rs is louder than GT3/3rs in realife
You were driving in traffic for 10 minutes and didn't even push it and can make that kind of a comment????? This is the most biased comparison I've ever seen.
Great video. A good honest comparison. Thanks for making it
Thanks Amber. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great vid. Gt3 is lovely. Black and gold beautiful combo.
Thanks Stuart. The spec of the one we tested was awesome.
Problem is the 991.2 GT3RS/2RS doesn’t come in ULTRA-Violet!!!
You're right sir
Obviously the GT2 is faster at the straight line but I feel like this is not the point for real Porsche drivers
The savage 9.000 RPM soundtrack and the linear power delivery is key !
The GT2 RS is faster around track and faster on the straight. Wtf are you talking?
@@NiggazHomie You're so clever huh OBVIOUSLY is going to be faster because it has more power and downforce. I'm talking about driving experience ( the sound, the way you have to stay in the right gears to keep momentum) the GT2 RS is a track god but even for high level drivers it's a snappy and quite unpredictable car because of the turbocharged power delivery.
@@andrelima5124 If you were talking about driving experience then you should mention it instead of just stating that the GT2 RS is faster on straights. It's not unpredictable at all. The GT2 RS feels like it has no turbo sven though it's the opposite. Look at the 0-100 km/h time of the car and watch more reviews on the car. People are only preferring the GT3 RS over the GT2 RS because you can't use the GT2 RS efficiently on normal road because it's that of a beast. It has too much to offer than using it on the road.
Great video. Welcome to my neighborhood. You own my dream car (4.0RS). Got another year and been eyeing the Perf. Always wanted a Lambo since Cannonball run movie. Wish exotics still came in a manual. I like to row gears and heel toe and gladly daily drive one.
Thanks! I love the beginning of Cannonball with the Countach!!! The Performante is the best Lamborghini ever made in my opinion. A really strong engine, great looks and that sound.....
FINALLY A REVIEW ON BOTH IN 1 VIDEO
Finally. Took a while to get my hands on a GT2 RS!!
Lovely review, you really nail the sweet spots
for cars which are quite different to each other, inside and out. The spec of the 3RS is my personal choice! Both of these are track beasts, for the street I’d opt for a manual GT3/touring.
Thanks Mark. I have driven a GT3 Touring and whilst it is a good road car, the 991.2 GT3 RS is on a different level.
Omg that GT3 RS is in the exact color combo I want it in and it is absolutely gorgeous 😩
Don't the gold wheels look amazing?!
888MF YES! But then again I’m biased 😉😂
The GT3 or GT2 perfect decisions for the cars
lmao..."when you put it (GT2 RS) in PDK sport mode it isn't very comfortable to drive"....that is so asinine, the first thing I do after starting my car to let it warm up is put her in Sport Exhaust and Sport PDK and she drives like a million dollars. The only modestly harsh jerk is when manually downshifting into 1st gear; that does jerk quite a bit but if that bothers you just don't shift into first and let the PDK downshift to 1st for you (even in manual it will do this when stopping)...(a guy who owns a 2019 GT2 RS, GR, WP, PDLS, Magnesium wheels, leather/alcantara with red deviated stitching, GR gauges, GR seatbelts, smokers package, FAL, and FE)
In the first 60seconds you get the picture from the level of the presentation, how to drive and open the driver door - that’s it!!!
That Black GT3RS is just perfect.
Fugazi News. West Palm Beach resident and I require those 🐌 🐌 for I-95 runs (Florida Autobahn). I absolutely love the that gt3 exhaust note, but it doesn’t make up for the horsepower difference.
good Video, thanks. Which would you prefer for pure driving fun and excitement 997.2 RS 3.8 or 991.2 RS 4.0 ?
I haven't driven the 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8 yet, but it is a manual and has a heavy clutch. So if it was for a weekend drive only probably the 3.8. If it was for more regular use then the PDK 991.2 GT3 RS all day long.
No daily no city. Only for fun weekend backroads and track.
@@exev6700 Only for fun the manual its always the answer. Look at the 991.2 GT3 touring, same engine as the RS, but with a 6 speed manual and everything adjusted for maximum driving joy instead of shaving tenths off a lap, same philosophy of the 911R
720 is comfy like most McLarens, but the issue is that you can actually drive the Porsche without worrying if you're going to have to send it back and forth to the shop for 3 months. 720 is like driving a pretty looking turd.
I really Appreciate your Personal and Professional opinion on these two cars mate.
Wow, any of those cars would be a treat to your collection
I am happy with three Porsche models. If I add it will be an Italian next.
Owning either is a win. If you do canyons sometimes and mainly drive the road GT3RS is the pick. If you drive the autobahn or track alot the GT2RS is king.
Forget both of these cars and buy a GT3 so you can get a manual!
Why not buy a 718 GT4
@@888mf4 if you could a afford a gt3, you'd get the gt3 surely? That has the proper high revving engine in it.
I feel like Porsche is the toyota of the supercar world, they are reliable, they hold there value well and they're genuinely a smart logical car to buy😂😂😂😂
That's why the 720S is the ultimate car spider version.You can drive it around town and it's a nice driving car and then it can become a track monster as well and a drag racer on top
A new Lambo Performante going for the same price as the GT3 RS? See ya!!
Red car = red key, black car = black key!
Thanks for pointing that out RM. Was that the only comment you had to make on a 20 min video?
888MF i forgot to say ; wash your hands. ( kidding ) . Thanks for the video, i have to say that it was a great content. Stay safe, wish you a healthy and full fun life.
"It's a track car" no it's a road car that can be enjoyed on the track too. 90% don't live at the track
go Mark go! keep sharing those awesome videos mateeeee!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed.
Great video. Clinched my decision to pick up a .2 GT3 RS. Hopefully the values don't crater with the impending recession because I'm paying above msrp for a three year old car.
Emotions that for each one of us look for are different...so my point is....choose the car that gives you the right emotions you are looking for....and then for numbers....but only then....obviously there are many other factors...but these 2 in the right sequence are the most important!!!! I say that since i have 3 sports cars and each one is very different from the other and each one gives me emotions that the other doesn’t provide and viceversa
"Hardly sprung"?? I believe its "Stiffly-sprung";). Great clip as always by the way!
haha. Sometimes when you are on camera you get a bit nervous when you talk.
Excellent content
Thank you!
Would love to see a comparison video between your GT3 and 981 Spyder!
Love the video.
Agree that there is something very special about high performance naturally aspirated engines.
Very well review, that made it easier to plan for. GT3 RS
PDK-Sport in the 991.1 GT3-RS makes a huge difference!!! Maybe it’s toned down for the 991.2 ?
This channel is clearly for people who have never actually track raced a high power car. The GT2 is better, it just needs skills.
I put it in PDK normal and….oh it is much smoother! What a genius i am 🤪
This guy deserve a million subs.
I just want to know how it compares to the new Turbo S?
I haven't had a chance to drive the 992 Turbo S but hopefully will get an opportunity in 2020
how about a normal gt3?
I would prefer a 718 GT4 over a GT3
@@888mf4 why so?
Sane viewing in a crazy world right now, bliss as always 👌
Thanks
perhaps for UK roads no... if you love to drive hard, you know that bouncy feeling over slight bumps when you know you can steer as hard has possible..... GT3 would always be a preferred choice but if its all about high end autobahn speed runs, GT2 RS will be seriously rewarding
The GT2 RS is not running standard rear wing supports.
I own both these cars with over 3,000 miles on both and don’t agree with a few things. First, to say one is good around town and other isn’t is just false. They are so similar in ride and shifting and seats and interior are identical. I think your opinion is biased by sound. 3 does sound better, but the power in the 2 makes up for slight lack in sound. I bought a Soul exhaust for my 2 and it has a monster sound of its own. Also... without saying the price I can say I paid within $35,000 for the two cars. Granted I over paid for 3 because it was my spec and got a great deal on 2 which was Porsche spec. Both have Weissach and both are awesome. Lastly, the 3 is actually the better track car. Balance between power, weight, brakes and cornering is perfect in the 3. 2 is faster overall on track, but on small track with lots of corners it is not. If I had to choose one over other than I would choose the 2 by a small margin because on the streets it is king. Nothing can touch it as it is so fast. It gets embarrassing to get passed in the 3 on straights, which is what you mostly have on the roads and highways. The 2 also feels more special and there are fewer on the road. For now ... I like both and will keep both as long as I can.
Really enjoyed the demo and speed test of the two Porsche GT2 and GT 3,cars,thanks,Hasnan.
Very very very nice review 👌🏻 👏🏻
Thank you!
What i have always said about sportcars/supercars is.....a part from Laptimes or pure number as an acceleration time from 0 to 60 or 0 to 124 mph....or top speed....it’s better that you choose a car for the emotions that it gives to you and then for the numbers....it’s otherwise also true that also depends on the use that you do of your car....but may be that for you the majority of the times that you use your supecar is not on circuit and even here not competing with others.....so if you recognize in this field....so you have to choose for emotions!!!!off course!!!!
Mark spot on. The GT2 is incredible, but too fast for road use, it was made for the race track.
If you watch Misha Charondins channel, Porche race driver Kevin Estre virtually said the same thing.
Both wonderful cars, but like you I'd take the GT3 RS all day.
For road use a GT3 T is ideal. Would go with manual. Prices falling.
Mister Ray One of the best all around cars in my opinion!
You're insane the gt2 is way faster and manuverable
IMHO GT2 RS - Supercar crushing monster, GT3 RS - pinnacle sports car for the ages
Either way, win-win in my book!
would u describe her as more extreme than a 918 spyder??
981 Spyder or 918 Spyder?
@@888mf4911 gt2 rs VS 918 spyder (maybe u haven't driven her)
I really like your review. Get right to the point, not wasting time. Your 4.0 is a very special GT! I had a 3.8 RS 2011. Put on some weight I sold it. Not I just got a GT4 2020. It is alright! Weight transfer is excellent due to the mid engine. Cheers 🦅🦅🇺🇸
I absolutely love love love the GT3rs! It is probably my all time favorite car or least very close. Your 4.0 is absolutely ridiculous, the thing dreams are made of.
Great comparison video! Thanks !
I would love to see/hear your perspective on 911 TT S vs The GT3 RS .... 🙏🙏👊🏼
Thanks. I have never been a fan of 4WD Porsche 911 models. But we may do a review of a 911 Turbo S on the channel at some point in the future.
My thoughts exactly!!! That’s why the GT2 RS is 6:48 at the ring vs the GT3 RS with a 6:56...
I love em both
The GT2 RS looks incredible, whilst the GT3 RS is incredible to drive. So both are great!
@@888mf4 does the GT2 RS not drive nearly as nice as the GT3 RS? how do they compare when driven side by side? :)
This vs 765LT would be interesting...
Peter Durnell the 720 is much faster than a GT2RS believe it or not. The 765LT is going to destroy basically everything. Those McLarens are fast as hell...when they work lol
Please keep donuts to reviewing Civics or Mustangs if you have to do donuts...Respecting a car like this or any other for that matter is a better intro. That said...GT3 RS please.
A. H. Agree 100%
Gt2 rs' price here in the Philippines are 600k USD due to the taxes. Sucks for us
Instant torque from the variable vein turbos says otherwise.
I have a 2009 Nissan Sentra and I smoke Porsche GT3 RS all the time but not the GT2 RS. For some reason the GT2 RS is a bit faster than my vehicle and my vehicle is stock.
I was on my bike up in the N Ga. Mt roads and i saw an orange GT3RS going past me the other direction and had to U-turn to see it glide through the curves. He saw me behind him and then WOW! I couldn't believe how great it was on those tight curves. At the end of that road I pulled up beside him and he was super cool with a hot chick in the passenger seat
haha you need to have the money for a GT2 RS ... the poor guys buy a gt3 rs haha .. THATS IT !!!
I wouldn't buy a GT2 RS. Didn't entertain me at all.
Stefan Duscher not true, yes it is quite a bit more expensive but I would say the majority of people that have had both prefer the GT3 RS over the GT2 RS
It would Be So Very hard to choose between the GT 2 RS or the GT3 RS?!?!? I would have to think about it over a Bottle Of Jack Daniels ❗️❗️
Por-shuh...two syllables...say it with me...Por-shuh
