If you think about it, the 996 is an evolution of the 993, and the 997 is an update of the 996. The 6 and 7 both had two versions as well, meaning this car was around for a very, very long time. They fixed what was "wrong" about the air-cooled cars and realized they made a masterpiece. Like Nissan making the R35, how do you improve?
Loved the Foot Cam! Watching it and listening to the engine you can notice how organic and natural this car is! 991s GTs sounds great but theres something special about unpredictable singing on these Mezgers. Thanks for sharing!
That car looks DIALED in , minimal tire squeal , you’re not even pushing it and that thing is eating up that track . Nice build, I can see a aero package helping to fine tune the aero a bit . Nice run watched it 3 times in a row with a few rewinds here and there lol 😂. Pedal cam is siik, nice checkup on the brakes right before the jump , Misha you’re a true wheelman , that car looks extremely responsive and does what you’re body tells it awesome car.
You, Misha, are a really great pilot. Beautiful driving, from the video it looks like the car behaves exactly like you want and does nothing sketchy. Only what you tell it to do. Awesome to watch! These old Porsches are just as fantastic cars as the new ones, but in a different way
Thank you Misha, awesome lap with a track weapon as the expression goes. Also, cool to see the action from different angles, really enhances the viewing experience. Cheers👍
Great video, great enthusiasm! The 996 used to get too much hate. Now people are realizing it was the last "analog" 911. Watch the price rise in the next 5-10 years...
This was awesome! What’s funny is that I felt the speed while watching better than any other video I’ve watched on your channel. Great video. Wheels up!:)
nice work Misha! Also nice to see all that work going on with the pedals... Seen you using the right foot for brakes/accelerator at the same time as well :) good job man! I really love such driving skills (only visible with older cars/gear lever/3 pedals...)
Amazing camera angles! Just by watching steering and pedal inputs simultaneously with the front-facing camera, you can feel the car's stability and response as if you're the one driving. Looking forward to see more of these kinds of onboards, very immersive!
Thanks Misha, as an owner of a 996 in black (ok mines only C4!) that hits the track occasionally I love this video! 996's have been the poor relation of the 911 family for way too long, yet with decent suspension and more modern tyres they are great track cars! (Just don't tell everyone or they'll become too expensive to enjoy!)
I had the 996 GT2, and it was an absolute MONSTER at the track, but the front end geometry needed serious work. The factory set it up to under-steer from the factory, and for serious track work it needs -3 degrees negative camber at the front, and 1/8th" toe-in. It also needs some toe-in at the rear, as well as -2.0 degrees negative camber. After getting those setting right, the car is amazing!
Misha, been a subscriber for a few years now. The way this onboard is filmed with high quality cameras and many angles is breathtaking. Specifically the dash-camera angle showing the road, I feel like I’m in the car on the ring! Top quality stuff
I have two observations. 1) the part at 9:13 had me a little nervous, and 2) At 11:02, lifting off the brakes while in the air then getting back on the brakes as soon as you're back on the ground is top notch driving! I feel like the 996 is the the Miata of the 911's using momentum rather than brute hp like the newer GT3's & GT2's
You need to do it like that on the jump, if you have ABS and leave the foot on the paddle, it doesn't know how to regulate and you fly straight into the gravel pit. 😅
@@porschenut9 every car is going to be driven at its maximum possible speed through corners for the best lap time. I don't see how that's different for a hyper car or an mg sprite
@@mitchellsteindler it’s not about maximum cornering speed. It’s about maintaining maximum cornering speed through as much as the corner as possible. Some cars make their lap time by sacrificing corner entry to get a good exit - slow in fast out (e.g. Evo, GTR). The 996 GT3 is not one of those. It is a true momentum car.
Awesome vid. I think I saw how you started out a bit cautious with the up- and downshifts. You clearly didn't want to stress the gearbox out too much. Understandable, since it's not your car in the first place. But I found it funny that towards the later parts of the lap it was obvious, that you got bitten by the bug and went more and more into 'send it'-mode.
That's a SEEEEND! What an awesome insight. Back when the 996 came out I could not really appreciate it, the styling was too close to the Boxster. But it has aged so well, love the car now and my god what a driving machine!
Yes I was waiting for this after seeing the Pic these days 👌💪 Unfortunately didn‘t catch the lap at first because I was watching the footwork. I am still struggling a bit in how to take corners correctly with this machine because it behaves different to front engine cars
@@kg4135 wenn downshifting ya go from low reffs to high reffs resulting in enginebraking wich can upset the car, so ya give a dot of gas to reffmatch the engine to the wheelspeed wenn ya release the clutch
Lovely driving! That front end is so hooked up. The cup front lip definitely helps with the front end, but more so do the cup car upper bumper slots. These will help reduce front end lift. Then an RS rear wing to balance it out.
Amazing car and realllly nice driving. Has to be one the most old school, high quality laps I have seen at this channel. I, a DCT flappy paddles lamer, salute you. Edit: Rewatching this I noticed you can see the reflection of passanger through dash cam. He was obviously hanging to dear life and keeping his hand on his loins, probably in a (failed) attempt to avoid a code brown.
I barely saw the other camera-perspectives, cause of the „foot-cam“! I love to see the ballet in the pedals😘 and when I had time to look on the other screens -> damn it, it‘s ridicliously fast👍👍🍻
Fooking faast 😲! I've always loved the 996 gt3's. Now with the MR package... Made even better! I wonder what this car should do on Spa 🤔! Great lap Misha!
I can feel the thoughts you were saying in the intro about the car (996) but 997 will always be my favourite generation maybe because I grew up with but yeah those are much fun to drive compared to the newer Generations!
Ich hatte vor 4 Wochen die einmalige Gelegenheit einen 996gt3 RS und einen 992gt3 touring zu fahren. 992 ist meiner Meinung nach wohl der zzt. Beste Sportwagen der Welt im Gesamtkonzept. Ich selbst bin vom ersten Tag an ein großer Fan vom 996 Gt3. Die Leute, die einen 996 auf seine Scheinwerfer reduzieren haben einfach keine Ahnung und in den meisten Fällen einen ausgeprägten Besitzneid. Unglaublich wie so ein 96ergt3 läuft. Beim Durchladen sind die Unterschiede zwischen den Beiden marginal. So Leid es mir tut, der mittlerweile hohe Preis für einen 996gt3 ist gerechtfertigt - Punktaus. So werde ich weiterhin mit meinem 964 durch Gegend Gondeln..... Misha, sehr schön gefahren. Mit viel Umsicht und Respekt vor dem Material. Keine Curbs, langsam schalten usw... Alleine auf Angriff sind es wohl 7:30-35
9:12 dayum... just.. DAYUM! I would have been in the passenger seat like that passenger who was making constipated funny noises in a certain car which I won't mention. 😅
Nowadays driving a recent Porsche or any supercar fast is so easy with mostly automatic gearbox and driving aids. An older car with manual gearbox and real feeling is much more fun to drive, you won't be the fastest but you did it yourself. :D I see it more and more when I co-drive with people on the ring, people without great skills can drive the ring fast, completely relying on the modern technology, driving aids and automatic gearbox. The new M4 for example is such an easy and forgiving car even a donkey could drive fast in it.
Misha thank you for sharing! The quality of your videos continues to grow, you can learn so much watching a video like this! Would love to have an angle behind you so we can watch steering input more!
I have driven 991.1 GT3 and GT3 RS. I've ridden on tracks in 991.2 GT3 and GT3 RTS Weissach. I love them all, they are truly great cars, but... ...nothing has the combination of performance, feel and emotion of the 996/7 GT3/RS platform. It's not just about how much power a car has, or even the lap time, it's the experience.
" Look at me! I'm flying I'm flying!" That was some nice Heel and Toe you had going on there Misha. You make it look simple. Nice piece of driving. One day I'm gomma get my back sorted and I'm coming there for a lap with you. Except my car is staying home! 😁. Great video Misha.
Fulls specs and breakdown of the car in previous episode: ruclips.net/video/W07-t-MFbd4/видео.html
Crazy how even after 20 years these cars are absolute monsters on the track. Love these cars.

Not THAT crazy
It's the "Porsche Factor"...
I think it's pure bliss, especially with that kinda set up. ✨
If it has been touched up by MR it is probably far from its original state
Thanks to Manthey otherwise it would be definitely slower

Such a good place with positive and likeminded people, You love to see it! 🕺🏻💨💨

Great video, great enthusiasm! The 996 used to get too much hate. Now people are realizing it was the last "analog" 911. Watch the price rise in the next 5-10 years...
It looks rather understated in the best of ways. Same with the old BMWs, just a good time for Euro cars imo
To be fair they've never been cheap. A base 996 is upwards of £15k for a reasonably nice one alone where I'm from.
@@skylined5534 you're not getting any decent condition even base 996.1 carrera for less than 35k quid these days
Peak of Porsche driving feel & feedback, awesome car.
This was awesome! What’s funny is that I felt the speed while watching better than any other video I’ve watched on your channel. Great video. Wheels up!:)
Was waiting for your comment! :D
@@mgcharoudin 🙃
I loved the camera angles and more to the point its amazing what companies like MR can do with a 20 year old car.

Wat klinkt die flat6 toch mooi! Lekker old skool mechanisch!
I have realized how much work I still have to do to my 996 after watching this.... Great lap mate. I need this MR kit.
This Video had Yellow Bird vibes. Great work. A joy to watch. THX
What about the 'black bird' though?! Car Anime fans Unite! 😂
Amazing camera angles! Just by watching steering and pedal inputs simultaneously with the front-facing camera, you can feel the car's stability and response as if you're the one driving. Looking forward to see more of these kinds of onboards, very immersive!
Goes to show it’s not about the HP, it’s about the grip and the setup. Looks like a hell of a lot of fun!
Thanks Misha, as an owner of a 996 in black (ok mines only C4!) that hits the track occasionally I love this video! 996's have been the poor relation of the 911 family for way too long, yet with decent suspension and more modern tyres they are great track cars! (Just don't tell everyone or they'll become too expensive to enjoy!)
Finally some track video of 996 in youtube
I only watched twenty seconds of your foot work including two well timed heel toe downshifts. You are doing great.
Misha, considering it's just 410hp and a manual, and that lap speed...that is damn impressive, borderline shocking!
Love the 996 looks good, and love the footcam

Even the slowest gt3 has 50% higher hp/weight than a miata 😅
@@mitchellsteindler yes but he is right, these are a true momentum car and need to be treated as such to get the lap time out of them.

Monster lap. Do like that car. Looks like a sleeper. Cool video. All the best. ✌
This was an absolute clinic. Great video!
I’ve tested 996 GT3 CS (have video on channel) and it absolutely took my breath away. What a thing!
Brilliant lap and vid as always Misha.
Nice footwork Misha!
this video doesn't get the views it deserves! Amazing editing Micha and of course beautiful aggressive driving :D
That looked like a LOT of fun! 🙂
Yes I was waiting for this after seeing the Pic these days 👌💪
Unfortunately didn‘t catch the lap at first because I was watching the footwork. I am still struggling a bit in how to take corners correctly with this machine because it behaves different to front engine cars
The pedal cam adds so much to this video. I really enjoyed it!
Now this is the video I've been waiting for. This car is perfection. What an engaging road and track car.
Oh this is lovely to see the camera also on pedals :) Thank you for video with amazing mechanical GT3, you do great job!
Great Drive ! ^^
Somehow the heel'n'toe downshifts looked faster than the upshifts 😎
I wonder what's the purpose of doing that?
@@kg4135 wenn downshifting ya go from low reffs to high reffs resulting in enginebraking

Crazy lap!! Wonderful car 😍
Amazing driving skills, and this car with the Manthey Racing setup unreal wow.
Man I love this guy. Keep up the good content man, it's truly additive as a petrol head😂😅
Thanks Misha!
Could see you really driving this one, some cars just love to be driven just so💪
Full score for the pedal cam!!!
Three great videos in one! One with a great view of the track, one with great footwork, and one with a speedometer! Awesome video!!
I love the heal-toe, with a touch of left foot brake for that one turn. Awesome!
Watched a second time to observe the footwork. Well done mate!!! Much respect from a 997 owner (manual, of course)!!
absolut beautifull driving
So satisfying to watch, especially the foot-cam, like always epic vid and thx for letting us join🦁
What a well set up car, MR are wizards
Very scary. When I first drive there, I'm going to turn damage off.
Awesome to see all the camera angles together. I spent more time watching your feet to see throtle control. Great vid. Beautiful car too!
Man I really love that Porsche! It's so pretty
You definitely sent it.. that was really intense, loved it.
Sounding absolutely fantastic hope you are doing well
I love that the cruise control is clicked on for good measure.
All the appendages working in symphony 👌 that's driving well done sir

And I wasn't braking mid-air🤣🤣🤣

great driving
This is on par with the yellowbird video quality of entertainment. Pure bliss
I’m a simple man, I see a new Misha upload, and I come watch it. Of course I also click like as well, legendary stuff mate! Cheers!

So yeah.
