NEW CARS SUCK! CAN THE 992 GT3RS CHANGE MY MIND? OR IS ANALOG STILL THE BEST?

- Опубликовано: 8 май 2024
- My 997.2 GT3RS is my unattainable dream car that I somehow managed to attain. It is the peak analog supercar and some say the best Porsche ever made. The 992 GT3RS seems incredible, so lets see how it stacks up to the GOAT.
Thanks to Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles for the opportunity to drive these back to back!

There´s something about Vin´s videos that genuinely makes me enjoy every second of the content. I can feel each emotion and word he´s saying because he´s living the experience like there´s no camera around. Just taking us for the ride, enjoying together. I love that
He comes across as real. No fake RUclipsr energy. Just car dude energy.
Thanks man!!
You are spot on! Vin is doing a GREAT job in his videos, and kinda makes us, a part of the videos. 💪
100% agree. Vin is killing it!
Solid formula, and the best is yet to come 👏
Love this content mate. This scratches the itch of the deep car nerding out that hoonigan lost. Keep on killing it Vin!
Porsche has been making timeless cars since the '60s. All 911s are so desirable. Your car still sounds and performs amazing!
Sorry, but if you think you're old at 35, that's a problem. I'm 54 and would daily the 997.2 RS. I literally laugh out loud when I'm in stop and go traffic with my manual transmission 991.2 C2. I'm trading it for a 997 GT3. The rawness of the 997 is the exact reason why we drive those cars. The working of the controls and working at getting everything out of the car - is the essence of what makes it what it is: The best sports car.
Im 33 and id daily drive the hell out of the porsche you drive and the one youre getting as well lol. People cry about the E9X M3 as well but i daily drive mine(manual trans also) because why wouldn't i enjoy it everyday lol.
I'm of similar vintage as you. I have an '11 GT3RS and would 100% NOT want to daily this in LA traffic. The clutch is significantly heavier than any non-GT car (I've owned a few), the shift action is also heavy, and the sound deadening sometimes seems non existent (although I have an aftermarket exhaust). I absolutely love the car but to think it would be a cake walk to daily this in a traffic heavy city is probably a premature assumption. Try it out and get back to us:)
@@only3pedals Got it. I'm not sure LA traffic is good for any type of "driving" other than sitting still and moving quite slowly. I wouldn't like that type of driving in any car - period.
Just a frame of reference, for years I had a '69 Big Block Corvette with around 650hp. It has a sintered seven puck racing clutch. In order to pully out, you basically had to take the revs up to 1,200rpms and side-step the clutch. It would squat, chirp the tires and go. If you tried to slip the clutch to pull out like a normal car, it would hammer and bang like you were hitting the transmission with a hammer. The pedal pressure was pretty extreme as well since the clamping force was so high. No slipping at all once you're off and moving.
Congrats on owning a 997.2 RS and driving it! Perfect car IMHO
@@only3pedals Oh, you're right, I wouldn't drive the RS or the Corvette in LA traffic either
So annoying when men in their 30's call themselves "Old" but noticed that its typically uttered by child-less men.
2 keys sitting on the table for me to grab:
Track day at Laguna Seca - 992
Tail of the Dragon - 997.2
There's no denying that the newer car would be better to live with day to day, but when I go out at sunrise on a Saturday morning, I'm going for the car that makes me work for it.
So ive watched all of Vin's videos so far and really been enjoying the content! Keep doing what your doing dude👍 looks like your really enjoying what your doing & we are all enjoying the journey also! Awesome mate keep up the great work much love from the U.K 🇬🇧👍❤
997 for sure. I am in my mod 40's and love the Old School Porsche. I like to work for fun. It's more involving.
Mod 40s is when your back hurts after you put on an exhaust.
Buying the 997 10000%, besides all out performance comparing it to the 992. You cannot beat that car in terms of pure driving experience, looks, and personality
Gotta say if it’s between vin or dde for 9am video drop… I’m def coming here first.
Just gotta budget some more time in the morning, haha!
It’s like Xmas every Thursday! Santa Vin with trunk full of good ish on videos! Love it Vin!
Every Thursday I’m watchin
Thats an insult that youd even compare the two. Vin.. an OG hoonigan member is 📈📈📈
dde doesn't like porsches kinda lame if you ask me
Loving the content! Ken would be extremely proud of you
I drove a 911 GT3 RS at Exotic Racing in Las Vegas. I have been into track cars for a long time, and owned a few. I was SHOCKED and the capabilities of the GT3 RS. The world of Porsche opened up to me that day.
The 997 hits DIFFERENT... The wheel and tyre setup is just 👌👌
Watching your videos is the closest thing to hanging out with my car buddies and just doing car guy stuff on a random weekday. Absolutely spectacular.
That Aaron driving instructor has the fricking dream job. So jealous.
I think the rawness of older sports cars has more charm than the speed of their modern counterparts. Both cars are still super cool though, great vid Vin!
Love your 7.2 3RS. Especially with the JRZs and other quality mods. I had the opportunity to drive one, as well as a 7.1 GT3 and 7.2 RS 4.0 recently. My favorite generation of Porsches and possibly the best driver's cars of all time. Hope you keep yours.
Ha dude I watched that video last night. What a lineup!!
Vin your content keeps killing it. The video quality and edits are so enjoyable. Also the fact you actually understand mechanics and how to drive fast cars on track is super impressive - it’s makes everything you say hold clout.
Everything great about early Hoonigan has been ported to this channel, good job sir!!
Vin is really climbing to the top of my list of favorite creators. Now to just get him to upload more :)
I want to but I’m not ready and don’t think I can stay consistent with the quality and concepts yet. Once I get through summer and a few other things off my plate I’m down!
@@vin_tra we’ll be ready when the time permits!
The 997 has always been my dream car but Vins Porsche with the gold wheels just makes me fall in love more.
Dude, I'm completely in love with your channel. The editing, the angles, the information! So proud to see you killing it out here on your own! Keep up the great work, I'm here for it! ❤❤❤
The 997.2 is one of my all time favourite cars. Vin should keep this car forever.
dang the new RS is so good
it’s absolutely insane. 997 is still king but for a track car this thing is unbelievable
The absolute best vid on the GT3 of all time. Your description and video sync made me feel like I was physically with you. I may never get to drive a GT3 but now I have small clue. No one has ever described the detail of the car in such a functioning way. BEST GT3 VIDEO EVER!!!
Dude, thanks for making videos that keep me coming back for more! Let the content roll brother!
What a video!!! Absolutely loving the content!
I went the the Porsche Experience in April and got lunch there as well. Such a cool place man!!!
Dude your enthusiasm for these machines is contagious. This channel is going to explode. It should.
Hell yeah, this is the best channel. Hands down the best!!🤘🏽
I’m just about to go to sleep but now I have to watch this
@Vin_ tra it's so obvious how much you love your 997.2 GT3 RS, and I feel the same way after owning my own for over 11 years now. The car never gets old to me, is always a sensational experience to drive at any speed, and just makes me fall in love with it over and over again. It was a lot of fun to see you compare it to the latest 992.1 GT3 RS! I definitely enjoy your content, keep up the great work brother.
Bro this channel has quickly become one of my favorites, you really should have created this channel years ago because I enjoy this content as much as I enjoyed OG Hoonigan videos and it’s completely different
997 & 996 is like the sweet spot for 911s. Perfect size for a nice piece of twisty road & a good natural driving feel
Man do I love seeing Vin nerd out, smiling like a kid in a candy store. Love it
Seeing someone genuinely happy while driving their car is so fun to watch. Happiness is contagious man, loving the content.
After watching the gt3rs rip around track with the e88s 🤯🤯🥵I need a 997 Porsche 😂😂😂do I sell my f8x for a carrera? Great video as always 🤙
Best channel on RUclips right now. Hats off to this quality of content youre putting out!
Great vid Vin, thank you!
Pushing towards middle age here, too (41). Agreed with everything you said, Vin. The new car is too outrageously styled. Since I’m not going to be driving a car like that every day. I’ll take your 997 over the new one.
Vin great video brother. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Your content is killing it lately! The channel is 🔥! Keep it up Vin 🤙! 997 for the win, analog all the way!
Lil Vin vid before going to bed, top notch work brother, keep the great work up🚀🚀
I can't get enough of his content. What a well spoken gent right there! Keep it up Vin!
Vin your videos are phenomenal. Keep it up 👍
Every Thursday morning is a treat, Thanks Vin!
Got the 992nd like hell yeah! Phenomenal video man, it was cool branching away from Ferrari content for a little bit. Keep up the awesome work!
These videos are really refreshing.
Keep it up Vin.
What a chill video, thanks Vin!
You explained the 997 exactly how I like mine simple/raw 997 FTW. The 992 looks wild I’d love both ! But I’d never sell the 997
i had a 991.2 C4S that was totaled last june, I thought the replacement was going to be a 991.2 manual gt3, but then i drove a 997.1 gt3 and now looking for either a 997.1 GT3 or GT3RS, but i'm older, and grewup driving manual so the cars relate more to me.
Top notch video as usual legend!!
997 for me! Love a "slower" car that has more engagement. Love the content so far Vin!
The MASSIVE grin on your face driving the 992 gave away the answer immediately. Great video as always Vin!
Unreal video Vin! Loved the deep dive on both models, and seeing the crazy tech on the 992! Just a bonkers car
Vin my dude, you’re a real and a legitimate car guy which makes your RUclips endeavor and videos super organic and pure. It takes one to know one. Keep it up man 👍🏼.
Great job buddy!! Keep it up
Bro ngl these videos are much better than most of the hella popular RUclipsr , it’s such a vibe 👌
Love your videos dude,keep it up.
Another awesome video from a great creator.
Always loved the 997 GT3RS but your videos make me want one even more and mourn the fact that their prices have skyrocketed.
Very Nice vid very detailed 💯💯💯💯
Vins content gets me fired up to go work on my own project car. Every episode every time
997 purest Manual for me, but 992 is amazing. The car does most of the work. I like 3 pedals!
997 all day for me, not that ether are an option but the subtle greatness of the 997 is something else.
Such a cool video, man. Your perspective is special because of your experience with the 997. If i were to get one and only one. I think i would take the 992 still. Porsche refines liquid gold with each generation and somehow each iteration it gets better. Great job!
Vin is delivering the content we all needed 🙏🏻
Another top tier episode. Great Content.
I'm NGL, the Hoonigan energy mixed with the Donut Media philosophy on cars, is the ultimate combo of channels!!!! Keep it up Vin
My friend's dad has a 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8 like yours but in blue. First time he ever gave me a ride in it we went on an S shaped on ramp onto the highway and I vividly remember how it felt like it was on rails. After that I was convinced I needed to get one of these. Being the last manual RS and how pure of a drivers car it is I'd pick a 997 any day of the week.
Greatest sports car of all time IMO. Another banger of a video, thanks Vin.
Quick quick there's a new Vin video, Vin is awesome, killing it!
bro these videos are amazing
Great video, full of good info. Vin advises he is 35. Enjoy it all. I’m 76 and still enjoying my time wrenching and driving. Thanks, Vin.
Dude I can't wait for Thursdays. Vins Thursday drops get me through the workday every week
2010 for sure....it's the reason why I have my Miata. Just pure enjoyment. Love the vids vin. Keep up the good work.
Very cool video. Keep up the enthusiasm
Vin that raw feeling is what makes your Porscha outstanding I've watched every episode really enjoying them and Zach 4x4 is a gas 🐷 couldn't believe it was worse than that huge boat unbelievable bro
the amount of disrespect Aarons flow was throwing down the whole video, dang haha. Great video!
These vlogs are actually insane I aspire to get this good content has been so good
Thank you for reviewing both cars honestly. Too many of these other videos act like Porsche forgot how to build amazing cars after the 997 and everything went downhill. Porsche is an engineering company first and foremost…..and advancing performance sometimes requires things that can be perceived as taking away from the experience, but such is life. I was fortunate enough to own a 997.2 GT3 RS for almost 3 years when it was new and while I absolutely loved the ownership experience I feel that the 992 generation of the GT3 RS is the perfect evolution of that car and for what is gives up in being a less analog experience it makes up in other areas.
Keep your 997.2GT3RS. I once had a 997.1 GT3 and wish I had kept it. I then moved onto a 991.2 GT3RS and still enjoyed the 997 GT3 more because of it being manual and the size and rawness. If you do sell your 7.2RS, I'll buy it from you.
i love your solo video's Vin they are amazing. almost going to say better than the hoonigan days, its just a bit more you 😁
Great stuff, and you’re fun 😄👍
Great video! I’m heading to PEC Tokyo next weekend. Will drop a video
Vin keep up the videos 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽💪🏽 dope content.
You got me Vin! I have always been ALL about the 996 and especially the 997 RS. But seeing your views on the new one has really got me thinking now, maybe new is better!
Oh, your 360, that colour has grown on me so much. It looks classy, especially with the wheels. Kind of like a 360 version of a GT3 touring.
Keep the awesome vids coming 👊🏼
Such a great video
It's rad that Vin, hert and zach have their own channels now. I look forward to their new videos every week just like the old daily transmission days.
i have been DYING to see this comparison on youtube, finally!!
I've never driven a Porsche but it sounds to me like the 992 would be a more practical car to drive on the road but the 997 would be more fun on the track. Personally I am a big fan of that "analogue" feel, which is probably why I would lean that way. I'm a little behind on your uploads so will catch the new one soon. Another great video Vin, killing it!
Awesome comparison
997 in my opinion seems more special. The size, the more analog engineering, the metzger engine, the visceral sound and even aesthetics.
The 992 is a spaceship in comparison. Beats the 997 in nearly every aspect but does it have the same soul?
That 997 gt3 rs has some awesome mods that elevate it. Great to see it being properly driven and not treated like merely an investment.
Gotta say this is an excellent video to watch if you're going to drive one on track thanks to Vin's ADHD non-stop yappin'. Props brotha.
I feel like you just had an existential crisis at the end of this video lol. Apples and oranges situation here I think, both super awesome rides. Great vid!
14:33 My guyyy! You are giving me BBC Top Gear vibes, but like when they had Hammond, Clarkson, and May! Also it's really cool to hear you describe the experience of driving it. Very cool dude
I want a 992 so bad loved every second of this video man wish someone would get one and make some cool content w it I’d love to see some content w one of these cars
The 997 all day! Driving a 992 may be an awesome experience, but driving the more "alive" 997 is almost an art form and a manual labor. And I'm down for the later two...
Always looking forward to Thursday mornings now👍🔥🔥🔥
Every 997 needs that new 992 steering wheel. They look so sweet!
991!
@@vin_tra oh I see! I'll keep that in mind for when I get my 997 😁
Looks super fun man.
New GT3 RS is super sick, but your collection is amazing especially the 997 on the e88s. All at 35 I’m spewing 😂
Can we have a review on the dog please 😂
Driving both of these machines on the west coast of Norway would be a dream come true. your car looks amazing and clean, I’m 36 and analog is what I’ve grown up with. But on track the newer gear box on Track, seems wild.
