The head light washer is standard because when HID lights are dirty they spray the light beam everywhere blinding drivers even more so German law requires them.
I have a 991 TS, and I 100% agree that the PCCB is the way to go. No squeaks, superb pedal feel. Only issue I have felt is during rain (flooded) I had to press very hard when driving around town (basically the brakes never got hot enough to evaporate the water). Was not an option for the TS, but now I def. can't go back :) Do agree that I would go with gun-metal/gray rims instead of the polished ones (not a chrome / shiny fan). For US the LED is somewhat waste, as US rules it's not legal to use them at it's full potential, so the US version has less power (lumens). Auto dim mirrors is the best ever! It should do rear and side mirrors. When you have a truck behind you, it's so much better (cutting light from the rear to 1/4 or so). Make sure you have not turned it off (switch under your rear view mirror). Did you get (or was it an option) leather back (of the front seats)?
Usually long extensive videos like this get boring to me... but man your attention to detail and the time and care you have towards your vehicles is amazing my friend! Keep the videos up! Beautiful cars for sure!! Keep it up !! Sub and liked!
Hi Matt! Wow, I always joke that my AR gene (AR = annal retentive) is not recessive but for sure your AR gene is clearly dominant....and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. I've watched several of your videos and I have to say you do a great job and it's very clear you're passionate about your cars. I'm totally impressed with how much of your own work you do on your cars. Taking as much of your car apart as you had to to switch out the stereo and exhaust systems was pretty amazing! I recently sold my C4S and now I've got deposits in two dealerships waiting for the hoped for 991.2 iteration of the GT3 to be announced...which I know will be quite some time from now. I was too late to the party to get a current 991 allocation. In the meantime getting your feedback on the options you would not choose if you could have chosen your own options was very helpful...so thank you for that. Keep up the good work!
+Matt Moreman Hi Matt! Yeah, I had all of those boxes checked on my build but after watching your review they'll likely get unchecked. Since I sold my C4S to a friend I'll be able to measure the exact height of the front lip on it and compare that to the standard height of the GT3 front lip to make a final decision on whether or not to get the axel lift. My preference is not to get the lift but I did have an oops with my C4S, which was really a bit of inattentiveness on my part. If the front lip height on the GT3 is that same as my C4S I'll delete the lift from my build. I have to say once again your willingness to dive in and personally make the modifications on your sound system and exhaust is very impressive! It's a shame Porsche doesn't offer a higher-end audio option for the GT3. While I understand Porsche's reasoning for not doing so I think they should!!! Thanks for your response and for all of the work you've put into sharing your GT3 journey!
What year CarreraS was it? Could you elaborate on the issues with it? Got to complement on your presentation form! Very informed and detailed. How your rember all them details so fluently is beyond me. Myself got a tracked out badass 964C4 and a stock 996C4 Tip. Interesting to hear your views on the GT3 and Porsche in general.! Thanks
+Nord Mann I had the dreaded "stumble" at lower RPMs. About 30% of the cars have them. www.6speedonline.com/forums/991/300360-engine-stumble-hesitation-around-2500-rpm.html I spent probably a hundred hours on the Porsche configurator, so I've basically memorized the options available.
Hey Matt, just joined the Porsche family with a 2015 991 GTS, traded in my M4. I picked it up from the lot and had most of my options. I hated having to pay $625 for carpets with personalized leather stitching as well as glass sunroof. Looking forward to drive it and the 12 hrs detail :).
Carbon Ceramic Brakes are absolutely the best once you get them you cannot go back to steel rotors no brake dust no corrosion and a very long service life .
Hey Matt, I sold my 12' STI -probably going to swoop up a GTR but just out of curiosity... I understand very very few "newer" cars are considered good investments, as in- they all lose value (of course). Do you think the GT3 is a good investment in any way? Do you think the value will SHOOT down like most newer sports cars? Thanks.
+Streetbikechamp I think because of the numbers produced and the number of people that want one, we won't get massive depreciation. But...I don't think a regular GT3 is going to appreciate much unless you keep in the garage and don't drive it. Now the 991R or RS, I guess we will see how many are made.
As far as I know, powder coating is better than paint on wheel application because it is chemically bonded to the surface. As I understand it, normal painting method tend to chip off faster (no chemical bond). Correct me if I'm wrong though he he
***** I've read that powder coating a refinished wheel could affect the structural integrity due to the high heat need to bake the powder coat on. I'm not sure I believe that a metal wheel can't handle being heated to three or four hundred degrees. The bigger issue with powder coat is the additional weight over paint. But you are right about the durability.
Matt Moreman Oh I see. Is the weight difference really that significant? I mean I'm all for reducing any unsprung weight but I doubt the weight of a wheel's paint can make a difference. Either way, I'm still admiring your cars and the mods that you do to them ha ha
***** I'm with you man. That weight is probably insignificant, but I like to pretend I am always getting the best. But you're right, it probably doesn't matter. The plus is painting them is cheaper.
***** and powder coating it s much more durable than paint. and looks better too, the gloss looks deeper. i think thats one of the reasons why these wheels chip so much, not powder coated.
"It's very dirty"-looks great in the lighting, and great reflection from various angles. Must be the OCD/perfection kicking in, and also why you could never own a black car. I like your channel, just taking a piss on a few observations, keep up the great work.
Man I get tingles in my tummy when I see your car. I would give a lung, a kidney and one of my testicles for this car, and I'm serious. You are the man living the dream. Drive safely and enjoy the best car in the world . Matt can I ask what your average fuel consumption is?
Great looking car. Why did you buy the GT3 vs. any of the other 911 models? Also, do you find the PDK DCT automatic boring when you're not on the track? I test drove a PDK 991 and even though it's a fast shifting auto for generating numbers I'm glad I was able to get a manual.
+maxpowers3732 I actually owned an X51 991 C2S with 7MT prior to the GT3. I loved it, but the GT3 is really, really special. If you get the chance to get behind the wheel of one, you will forget about the PDK-S in seconds. Remember, I'm a die-hard MT guy.
I was the same with with color for my Subaru, wanted the pearl white, but they only offered white interior, so I ordered Ice sliver metallic. The paint clear coat is soft, like a Mercedes paint. I had a buddy that works for PPG. he told me Orange peal isn't a bad thing to a degree, due to the fact that they need that for UV stabilization I was told????
Hey Matt. Thanks for the video. Found it very interesting. Especially your thoughts on each of your cars options. And please do a review on the GT3. Would love to hear what you really like about it and the other things that might be just so so. Thanks Matt. Take care.
I looked at a c63s the other day and the paint was without a doubt the worst I have ever seen on a car. One good part about the Carbon Ceramics is you do not have to worry about putting the car away after washing without taking a drive. Steel brakes love to rust and the pads tend to bond to the rotors.
why didnt you fight porsche? i had issues with my m3 f80 and they replaced it due to rattle from rear suspension couldn't fix it. Are you getting a gen 2??
such an amazing garage Matt! true enthusiasts garage, One day, i will install shelves for the detailing sprays/bottles. I really like the layout of your garage flooring, designed so you park perfectly inside with the strip of black tile when entering the garage. Its the little things, that count.** P.s. Any life/financial tips for a 19 year old**
I have an 01 BMW 325 XI with all suspension done and a lot of other stuff done to it. It's a competition edition and has every option BMW had to offer. All the BMW's in 01 had 16 inch wheels unless comp models had 17 in Harmon Kardon racing buckets with the pull out front xenons and the nice m steering wheel. Paint is all original and sleek no orange peel at all. By the way my favorite car on earth is the Porsche 911 and I would take your car over any Ferrari or Lamborghini.
19:20 The washers jets are a legal requirement (in Europe at least) as xenons dazzle oncoming drivers when the lens is dirty. Its not comparable to the side markers.
The trouble with my satin wheels is that there diamond cut. So when I go for a repair they always want to try bodge it with a spray fix. I'd rather go the proper way with full diamond cutting with satin sprayed.
Porsche needs to improve the lift package for the 991 and the 981, it's not good enough to pass speed bumps in my city nor enter building garages. It's not like others are way better either, the hurracan has one that lifts higher but still not enough to enter most garages, the 911 GT3s just have the worsts
+Fastexoticcars I would love to, but it's a little out of my league at this point in my life. That, and you can't get one. They are all sold. Some dealers are asking $100K mark-up.
at 19.45 you comment on the headlight washers and ask why they are fitted, well, my man, you live in the "sunshine state" and us poor cousins of yours in the uk, live in the gloomy very often wet and raining uk, believe me, if you lived in the uk for a few months in 1 of our winters, you would reliase what a godsend headlight washers really are.great video by the way ps, enjoy your sunshine and if you have too much of it, send me a few crates !!!!regardst5 jerry
Heard some real horror stories on some of the Porsche build quality. Seems to be quite a few vids of people with Porsches with long lists of faults with their cars so was troubled to hear about your original Carrera faults considering I'm thinking of buying a Porsche next, or at least was!
+James Wilkinson Over the last several years have been stretching their capabilities in terms of manufacturing and because of this expansion quality has suffered. But I would say over the next few years they will be settling down again. Finding that happy medium between output and quality. They are still a very good car brand though.
+James Wilkinson They can be variable. Some years back, a friend of had an extreme money-shift in his 993. The first long block Porsche found for him was simply wrong; it was a turbo engine, which didn't do him much good. Eventually, they got the right engine from Germany, and thankfully, his mechanic 'scoped it before they put it in the car. One cylinder had metal filings floating around loose in it.
Wow you took a loss on a defective car? Should have checked with Nick Murray, PCNA took his car back. I'd have a hard time buying another car after such an experience where I lost $.
Was thinking about all the great racing teams and companies like MOMO who use that red/yellow scheme. By the way, am considering a GT3.....but the Rennlist guys are all downers thinking every E and F engine is a time bomb......you worried about that?
Dude hurry up and sell that GT 3 they have a 2011 GT 2 RS on Ebay for 389,000 it's the real deal Porsche it only has 5,000 miles 620 H.P. twin turbo. Or they have two 2015 GT 3 RS but there 389,000 as well ones orange and ones this crazy white. But they are the all that!
Matt Moreman Oh I didn't know? When I seen that GT 2 RS for sale your the first one I thought of. You hardly ever see those up for sale. Then when I seen the 2 GT 3's I thought oh man they only made 500 of them too! Your GT 3 is all you need anyway. That's plenty of car and one of the best in my eyes. If you have a car making 3 hundred at the wheels that's all the car you need. My car is making a little over 250 and it's a blast you can't even use the power. Unless your on the highway or a track!
991 is the internal designation for the 7th generation 911. ah! thank you Mr.Moreman! :) do you have some exhaust clips and driving reactions on your gt3. :) Than you!
+Matt Moreman Anyway i know you can do it to get,you have a nice car and also good treats for your cars. I love Porsche,and i hope with work also i ,one day i can have a car like Porsche 911(991) Turbo S - love it...sorry for my English,and like your videos.
What's up David! Fan of yours! About 30% of the 991 C2S has a really annoying hesitation/stumble between 2-4,000RPMs. It drove me nuts. Luckily I had the opportunity at the time to trade for a GT3.
So I love the car. but I'm hearing more complaining than anything else. To be honest you saying I got everything I wanted, yet hearing nothing but complaining is maddening. how about talking on the points you wanted only. a lot shorter and a lot less agrivating to listen to. food for thought.
+livalittle100 2013 Ford Explorer Sport. The lease is up in a few months. I've been working on convincing her to get a Raptor for her next car, but we'll most likely get a Tahoe.
Amazing how two people can watch the exact same video and feel so differently about it. I thought this was one of the most interesting car videos I've ever watched.
Just some of the things you said . Of course your going to have to replace your rotors and pads eventually. As a matter of fact it's weird I have my brand new cross drilled and slotted rotors and ceramics race pads upstairs. I ordered them the other day and was going to put them in yesterday but I got a fever. I have Fibromyalgia and it sucks. I do how ever love your car very much. I have an Auto power roll cage going in my car this winter it's sitting in my garage. I just put all Power flex bushings in my car as well as H&R race springs. I left the competition BMW struts and shocks in. It lowered my car an inch and a half. I also put a carbon fiber strut tower brace. My car is a beast. But the Porsche 911 will always be my favorite my uncle bought a brand new one in 89 all black 911 turbo. And ever since there hasn't been a substitute!
Matt Moreman I'm 40 now but when I was 18 I bought a brand new 93 mustang gt the last of the fox body's. By the time I was 23 is was going down New England Drag Way at 10:58@128 MPH in the quarter mile. The car for the exception of a set of Drag Lite wheels and 3 liquid filled gauges on the cowl appeared stock.I was into Harleys, rice rockets, hydrostream 17 ft race boats that went 96.8 mph on the lake on a GPS. Now I'm building a cornering car every time I get gas someone asks if my car is new and it will be 15 this year! I do all my own work too.
Well your always supposed to change the rotors when you do the pads. Back in the day people would get them turned then rotors became so cheap they just put new rotors. But i can imagine how much the rotor are for that car that's why only the people with money can afford them. Anyone with good credit can go buy a Porsche but if all is they have is the money for the car payment and insurance there screwed. Once again beautiful ride there is no better in my book I'd take that over a Bugatti. Or I'd take the Bugatti and sell it and buy a couple of Porsche's. The reason why I said you weren't a car guy cause you were talking about caliper colors ?? I was like who cars take them off and have them powder coated the same color as the car if they bother you that much. Porsche does that they'll have a black Porsche with black interior with all red stitching and yellow seat belts? Then you'll see the same car but red black interior red stitching and red seat belts. I honestly never seen a spot of orange peel on my car. Can you believe my car was $37,868 back in 01 that's some money back then. But like I said ever option heated mirrors passenger power seat. When I put the H&R system on there I have 25 mm spacers in the rear which is an inch . So that's a 2 inch spread in the rear and I put 20 mm in the front that's an 1.75 inch. Plus it's all wheel drive and it sits an inch and a half lower. I put power flex bushings every where I could carbon fiber strut tower brace. Car looks like the day I bought it and still has all the original paint. Some day I'll get a 911. The 2015 GT 3 RS is insane they have an orange one on ebay right now. I love the ultra violet or purple one.
+M3Armand Ha, ha... Yeah, I'm a bit long winded. My bad. Some people like all of the detail. I need to start scripting this stuff and get to the point.
+Matt Moreman I have, yes. You expressed interest in scripting future videos and I wanted to give an example of one video blogger who seems to have it down pretty well. I had no intention of being rude.
Way more impressed of your garage than your car to be honest!
Thanks!
Hands down my favorite spec on this car. The CCB's being yellow against the blue paint just looks superb!
6:54 LMAO "Woah, don't kick the car!"...we all know who the real baby is.....and it's sitting in your garage ;)
you have a nice garage !! better than my house :)
For some odd reason, my favorite car you’ve ever owned... I will have one in this same color some day :}
Hope you’re doing well Matt.

Richard Ivanoff Man, I Iove the GTS. You've got to get the AWE Switchpath for it. In many ways that C2S sounds better than the GT3.

Man, I definitely respect your car collection
+Dominic Washington Thanks!
Would you order these seats again? There are those bucket seats available, but I think for a taller guy they aren't as good as yours
These seats certainly fit me much better. In 2014, Sport Buckets were not an option. I would get them next time around.
Great video--actually I had the same problem with my 13 C2S. They said it was the fule pump but I felt the PDK was in early stages of failure.
Awesome review. Ordered and received my 991 GT3!
+Jeb Lopez Nice! Sport buckets?
+Matt Moreman yes indeed! Have to be comfy!
If I do I am going to need your installation expertise. I think I can trust you now :). I'll make the trip from Miami.
Richard Ivanoff Come on up. It takes like an hour to install it.
I looked at a c63s the other day and the paint was without a doubt the worst I have ever seen on a car. One good part about the Carbon Ceramics is you do not have to worry about putting the car away after washing without taking a drive. Steel brakes love to rust and the pads tend to bond to the rotors.
+GasKills I love the engine in that car, but the transmission would bother me. Also, I don't like the way it looks.
Yes me to, there is a c63 507 at the same dealer, just the tire size and the Transmission make it a no go for me.
+GasKills Yeah, Mercedes gets close but not quite.
why didnt you fight porsche? i had issues with my m3 f80 and they replaced it due to rattle from rear suspension couldn't fix it. Are you getting a gen 2??

what is your opinion on seats?
how good are those bucket seats? do they worth extra $4K?
+Pranab Cherambakad The buckets are amazing. I would kill to have those. Most believe they will cost about $12,000 to retrofit.
such an amazing garage Matt! true enthusiasts garage, One day, i will install shelves for the detailing sprays/bottles.

+david contreras Thanks David! Wait until you see what I have planned for my next garage.
Wow Suspension !! so cool and black housing will be sweet . keep doing your good video's
I have no orange peel on my BMW and it's all original paint. I worked in a collision repair center for 15 years!
+JC B You car must be pre- VOC regulated water based paint, because new BMW are orange peel crazy.
I have an 01 BMW 325 XI with all suspension done and a lot of other stuff done to it. It's a competition edition and has every option BMW had to offer. All the BMW's in 01 had 16 inch wheels unless comp models had 17 in Harmon Kardon racing buckets with the pull out front xenons and the nice m steering wheel.

As someone who has had experience with audio, what do you think of the Burmester option for these cars?
I had Burmester in my C2S. It lacks adjustments, but it is really, really good. I would absolutely get it if the GT3 offered it as an option.
19:20
The washers jets are a legal requirement (in Europe at least) as xenons dazzle oncoming drivers when the lens is dirty. Its not comparable to the side markers.
+Lee Dobson I knew there was some reason for it.
A Porsche needs to be manual shifting - this automatic stuff is for mini-vans.
The trouble with my satin wheels is that there diamond cut. So when I go for a repair they always want to try bodge it with a spray fix. I'd rather go the proper way with full diamond cutting with satin sprayed.

Daniel Maia I could imagine that becomes a problem in some areas. I've never had an issue rubbing or hitting.
+Daniel Maia with the facelift of the 991 which will be revealed next week at the iaa, the lift system will be improved, porsche already confirmed
Stunning car.
Randome question, what looks better in your opinion rhodium silver or gt silver?
+BallerG1000 In my world that's not even close, GT Silver.
Cool! Kinda wish they updated the interior this year along with the new Carrera's to match the GT3RS interior. Guess we will just have to wait.
Are you thinking of trading this GT3 for a new GT3 RS? If yes what colour would you take it?
+Fastexoticcars I would love to, but it's a little out of my league at this point in my life. That, and you can't get one. They are all sold. Some dealers are asking $100K mark-up.
Would you ever think about getting a new C7 Zo6?
Unfortunately I'm not a corvette guy. They are such value vs. performance. I'd be much better off, but P-Cars are my love.
wow. thanks for responding so quickly.
Ha, ha... That's how I roll.
So stunning in my opinion ofcourse.
+ian knox Thanks!
Hey Matt: Less hugging and waxing. Drive the car on track, that's what it was made for!! Or are you just another Poseur??
+Shangri La Racing Well...I'm about to hit 7,000 miles on it in a little less than a year.
Awesome car! I was wondering where you got your wall shelves.
These were all from Griotsgarage.com
what kind of storage units are those?
Griots Garage Bottle Racks
Is Porsche still making the 991.1 gt3 and gt3 rs
They are not.
at 19.45 you comment on the headlight washers and ask why they are fitted, well, my man, you live in the "sunshine state" and us poor cousins of yours in the uk, live in the gloomy very often wet and raining uk, believe me, if you lived in the uk for a few months in 1 of our winters, you would reliase what a godsend headlight washers really are.great video by the way ps, enjoy your sunshine and if you have too much of it, send me a few crates !!!!regardst5 jerry
+t5jerry Thanks for calling me out Jerry! I usually just blurt out whatever comes to my head.
Heard some real horror stories on some of the Porsche build quality. Seems to be quite a few vids of people with Porsches with long lists of faults with their cars so was troubled to hear about your original Carrera faults considering I'm thinking of buying a Porsche next, or at least was!
The build quality is great, but there is a chance of having a problem like I did.
+James Wilkinson
Over the last several years have been stretching their capabilities in terms of manufacturing and because of this expansion quality has suffered.
But I would say over the next few years they will be settling down again. Finding that happy medium between output and quality.
They are still a very good car brand though.
+James Wilkinson They can be variable. Some years back, a friend of had an extreme money-shift in his 993. The first long block Porsche found for him was simply wrong; it was a turbo engine, which didn't do him much good. Eventually, they got the right engine from Germany, and thankfully, his mechanic 'scoped it before they put it in the car. One cylinder had metal filings floating around loose in it.
What is the difference between the 991 and the 911?
991 is the model designation. 2012-present. 997 was the previous generation.
The best colour!!!!
Is that all griot's garage cleaning supplies?? I love them! Nice car btw ;)
this is my type of video
Unreal car and garage 👍🏻
+shrewsnose1 Thanks!
Your next video should be options you have in your Garage and why..
+BearSterr I need to do some new garage videos.
Wow you took a loss on a defective car? Should have checked with Nick Murray, PCNA took his car back. I'd have a hard time buying another car after such an experience where I lost $.
+arainla I know Nick. He had major problems. Mine was very hard to replicate.
Color is beautiful by the way and makes silver look completely boring.
+arainla Thanks!
stunning spec!
Wait do you live in FL?????
Your garage is so... empty! O_O
You never answered back any of the conversation we were having I guess I'm not rich enough?
+JC B That comment cracks me up. I'm from the trailer park bro. I didn't know there was another question or comment to respond to. My bad.
Damn nice trailer park. I was wondering why you could work on your own car. CooL!
+JC B Ha, ha...
Matt Moreman The GT 3 sounds nice now!
Hey man, really nice car!!!! Hope one day a have a chance to drive a Porsche.
+Luís Takashi Thanks!
Sweet car how much cars do you own
LowKey Koqui I own a 2015 M3, 2014 GT3 and my wife drives a Ford Explorer Sport
I live in Gainesville? Maybe I can see your car at a meet or something!!!!
+Grant Rodgers Cool man! I usually make up to Ocala Cars and Coffee. I'm sure we'll cross paths at some point.
Yeah, you live in orlando?
+Grant Rodgers Much closer. I live in The Villages.
I only have one question, what the hell are those?
+D.H. I don't understand the question. To what are you referring?
+Matt Moreman he's talking about your shoes. It's some kind of stupid joke running around the internet.
+Henri Cordeau Hmmm.... I missed that one.
should've bought a 997.1 gt3 for half the price of a new 991 gt3... and then sold it in 2 years with a 50% profit..
+J F I don't like the tail lights on the 997s. They make the car look pretty dated.
Matt Moreman lol youre picky but whatever floats your boat brah
+J F instagram.com/p/BAnET6Et9WS/?taken-by=mattmoreman25
Feel bad you suffer from color blindness, thinking yellow and red don't go well together.....hope you can get treatment for your condition
Ha, ha... McDonald's style yo!
Was thinking about all the great racing teams and companies like MOMO who use that red/yellow scheme.
By the way, am considering a GT3.....but the Rennlist guys are all downers thinking every E and F engine is a time bomb......you worried about that?
WTF LOL ARE YOU WEARING A TEAM ROCKET SHIRT?? HAHAHA
+J F I had to look that one up. I must be getting old. Pokemon? Rogue Fitness.
+J F LMAOO
I want to take a lesson from you on how to organize stuff~~
+hxvideo It's a blessing and a curse to be highly organized.
The 918 seats look nasty on this car
Dude hurry up and sell that GT 3 they have a 2011 GT 2 RS on Ebay for 389,000 it's the real deal Porsche it only has 5,000 miles 620 H.P. twin turbo. Or they have two 2015 GT 3 RS but there 389,000 as well ones orange and ones this crazy white. But they are the all that!
+JC B I don't know how hard you think I'm ballin', but $400k is not in the cards for me.
Matt Moreman Oh I didn't know? When I seen that GT 2 RS for sale your the first one I thought of. You hardly ever see those up for sale. Then when I seen the 2 GT 3's I thought oh man they only made 500 of them too! Your GT 3 is all you need anyway. That's plenty of car and one of the best in my eyes. If you have a car making 3 hundred at the wheels that's all the car you need. My car is making a little over 250 and it's a blast you can't even use the power. Unless your on the highway or a track!
What's with 991 and 911?
+Juan Miguel Gealogo The 2012+ 911 are called Type 991. The previous generation was called the Type 997. Kind of like the current M3 is denoted F80.
991 is the internal designation for the 7th generation 911. ah! thank you Mr.Moreman! :) do you have some exhaust clips and driving reactions on your gt3. :) Than you!
Why you don't buy a GT3 RS Porsche!!!
+Diti Arifi I'd love to, but you can't get one with paying a massive mark-up.
+Matt Moreman Anyway i know you can do it to get,you have a nice car and also good treats for your cars.
I love Porsche,and i hope with work also i ,one day i can have a car like Porsche 911(991) Turbo S - love it...sorry for my English,and like your videos.
32 min… ajajaj alot of options but is not even the 991.2 😂
Meticulous. Bravo Garage. Thats how you do it.
I would suggest you get to the point and edit your videos down to 10 minutes (taking out 23 minutes of blabber). Other than that, nice car.
+William Shaker So I should read off the options? What good what that do?
I will sleep in your garage with your cars and pay you $$$
i would trade for the gt3 rs. if i can find one that is
+TheCynicalAfro 101 They are $100,000 over sticker.
oh boy! i just really like that wide body of the rs. Review one if you ever get your hands on the rs
youre lowering it? .. wow. youre gonna be scraping that lip. and will be stiffer... i hope you have immaculate roads.
He does, in FL the roads are as smooth as glass, but they down side is they lack the nice curves like the north east.
+mainlymusicman that lip is pretty cheap and designed to be changed easily.
+vivalaphill but still to have to go through the pain of scratching the lip everyone
+vivalaphill *everytime he goes somewhere not meant for sports cars
Nik84811 front axle lift system helps you ;)
was his 991 s defective
What's up David! Fan of yours! About 30% of the 991 C2S has a really annoying hesitation/stumble between 2-4,000RPMs. It drove me nuts. Luckily I had the opportunity at the time to trade for a GT3.
is that the same on the c4s
Obsessed Garage my name is joshua
Obsessed Garage you are thinking of thatdudeinblue
how tall are you.
+WARDofLORE 6'2"
6'4" I know that I can fit comfortably in 2005-2011 996 series. Have not had a chance to drive the new 991 series, looks a little tighter.
So I love the car. but I'm hearing more complaining than anything else. To be honest you saying I got everything I wanted, yet hearing nothing but complaining is maddening. how about talking on the points you wanted only. a lot shorter and a lot less agrivating to listen to. food for thought.
+jesse dominguez Well...This is my personality, so what you hear is what you get. Sorry to disappoint. This is me.
No manual option? Boooooo...
why black windows on a fucking gt3 its so stupid, dont hide that badass anti-roll cage man....
+isolator86 It's not as dark as looks on camera. Plus I live in FL.
Matt Moreman
then use sunglasses and put clear wondows man,
+isolator86 I use it more for the heat and protection of the leather dash and interior.
What does your wife drive?
+livalittle100 2013 Ford Explorer Sport. The lease is up in a few months. I've been working on convincing her to get a Raptor for her next car, but we'll most likely get a Tahoe.
Soooo boring
+Mark J then dont watch the video titled "the options on my Porsche and why i like them"
Amazing how two people can watch the exact same video and feel so differently about it. I thought this was one of the most interesting car videos I've ever watched.
This guy is not a car guy!
+JC B If I'm not, then I'm not sure who is.
Just some of the things you said . Of course your going to have to replace your rotors and pads eventually. As a matter of fact it's weird I have my brand new cross drilled and slotted rotors and ceramics race pads upstairs. I ordered them the other day and was going to put them in yesterday but I got a fever. I have Fibromyalgia and it sucks. I do how ever love your car very much. I have an Auto power roll cage going in my car this winter it's sitting in my garage. I just put all Power flex bushings in my car as well as H&R race springs. I left the competition BMW struts and shocks in. It lowered my car an inch and a half. I also put a carbon fiber strut tower brace. My car is a beast. But the Porsche 911 will always be my favorite my uncle bought a brand new one in 89 all black 911 turbo. And ever since there hasn't been a substitute!
Matt Moreman I'm 40 now but when I was 18 I bought a brand new 93 mustang gt the last of the fox body's. By the time I was 23 is was going down New England Drag Way at 10:58@128 MPH in the quarter mile. The car for the exception of a set of Drag Lite wheels and 3 liquid filled gauges on the cowl appeared stock.I was into Harleys, rice rockets, hydrostream 17 ft race boats that went 96.8 mph on the lake on a GPS. Now I'm building a cornering car every time I get gas someone asks if my car is new and it will be 15 this year! I do all my own work too.
+JC B I probably won't need to ever replace the rotors, but pads need to be replaced at about 50%. I'll do that myself.
Well your always supposed to change the rotors when you do the pads. Back in the day people would get them turned then rotors became so cheap they just put new rotors. But i can imagine how much the rotor are for that car that's why only the people with money can afford them. Anyone with good credit can go buy a Porsche but if all is they have is the money for the car payment and insurance there screwed. Once again beautiful ride there is no better in my book I'd take that over a Bugatti. Or I'd take the Bugatti and sell it and buy a couple of Porsche's. The reason why I said you weren't a car guy cause you were talking about caliper colors ?? I was like who cars take them off and have them powder coated the same color as the car if they bother you that much. Porsche does that they'll have a black Porsche with black interior with all red stitching and yellow seat belts? Then you'll see the same car but red black interior red stitching and red seat belts. I honestly never seen a spot of orange peel on my car. Can you believe my car was $37,868 back in 01 that's some money back then. But like I said ever option heated mirrors passenger power seat. When I put the H&R system on there I have 25 mm spacers in the rear which is an inch . So that's a 2 inch spread in the rear and I put 20 mm in the front that's an 1.75 inch. Plus it's all wheel drive and it sits an inch and a half lower. I put power flex bushings every where I could carbon fiber strut tower brace. Car looks like the day I bought it and still has all the original paint. Some day I'll get a 911. The 2015 GT 3 RS is insane they have an orange one on ebay right now. I love the ultra violet or purple one.
32 minutes...really?
+M3Armand Ha, ha... Yeah, I'm a bit long winded. My bad. Some people like all of the detail. I need to start scripting this stuff and get to the point.
+Matt Moreman Perhaps look at a few of Harry's Garage videos for some inspiration. I like the detail, but it can be delivered in a more succinct way.
+Edward Brearey If you have ever spent any time on the Porsche configurator you'd know it's a miracle that I got through this video in 30 minutes.
+Matt Moreman I have, yes. You expressed interest in scripting future videos and I wanted to give an example of one video blogger who seems to have it down pretty well. I had no intention of being rude.
+Edward Brearey I took no offense. I definitely appreciate the feedback!
Dude your videos are way too long and dreary, pop a red bull before and keep things short
I'm not going to do that.
God this is dull
+ALEX WILLIAMS Ha, ha... Guys like you make the world a better place.
True, true.
