Two very fine machines, but let me have a go at putting them head to head to make a choice as to which I prefer! It's the Porsche 911 GT3 vs Mercedes-AMG GT R
@@revolutionx9370 the rs is a track car its not as enjoyable as a manual gt3, ive driven both and the gt3 puts you i so much more control, it feels epic above 5500 rpm
Iceman7 the GTR is much more precise than u think, it is 2 seconds faster around the nürburgring than the GT3. I know lap times are just a part of the story when it comes to these type of cars, but that just proves the GTR is not just a “ hot rod “
The thing about those laptimes is the time made by the Merc was done by a magazine (sport auto) and time of the gt3 was made by Porsche themselves; I think if the time was made by Merc themselves it would be several seconds faster!
GoHardGT3RS Marketingring lap time don't mean anything. It's about how it drives, not whether it beats another car by a minuscule amount which was probably paid for anyway.
Having had both cars, and recently acquiring the AMG GT-R, the latter one is an amazing vehicle. The endless power and torque and the sound of the V8 is amazing!
What you are doing is absolutely brilliant. Using your car and involving. Most guys just use their car in traffic. Love it. Keep it up. Fantastic work. Both cars are great. GT_R for me though
Not sure if it was your camera angles or what, but I found this to be a very realistic perspective of driving these cars, too often watching through RUclips everything looks the same, great video
I expected this video. I also expected you'd not be able to pick a favourite. Lol similar cars, yet so very different. Good thing you have both! Cheers, Tim!
Love that green on the GT3. Classic good looks. I've seen the GTR in person and it has a bit of theatre to it. Pretty sexy. On a side note, pretty sure the GTR is good on a track too. Didn't it have a faster time than the GT3 and GT3RS at the Top Gear track. And the ring...by 8 seconds?!
Great content Tim. Great analogy choosing between two children. Can’t go wrong with either choice. I prefer the GT3 but I totally respect the AMG GT R. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video. Thanks Tim for putting logic and reasoning regarding your selection; and while most of us would lust at experiencing the performance of the GT3 daily, the limited functionality just doesn’t make it practical t do so. I agree in that the merc does an exceptional job in presenting the more purposeful and well rounded super performer. Thanks again for sharing.
EvoX with propper mods is a monster. A 720s eater Nissan GTR with propper mods is a monster. A 720s eater Smart car with propper mods is a monster. A 720s eater what a dumb comment
We'll see in a few years when mods become common for both cars. Bolt-on 991.1s are running high 170s in the 1/2 mile right now, on pump fuel. And with their drivetrain, they can use the power almost everywhere.
AKF .gaming Not sure about the Smart xD That's a little farfetched, but I get what you mean. And the 911 Turbo S is small fry for a 720S, unless it's INSANELY modified to a high standard.
I love my GT3 and find it comfortable but I have the 18 ways seats. So maybe the GT3 would be the winner with that configuration? Haha. Great video. Enjoy both, you don’t have to choose.
Hey I'm New to this may I ask you a question I'm looking to buy a Porsche soon but don't know which one should I get the carrera base or gt3 also what is the difference on gas consumption is it the same or different
Jolly good review. You drive them like I would. I'm a VW BMW Porsche man. You've convinced me the Merc is the better car. I would however take the Turbo S over all.
Your honesty is refreshing. Do you have any plans to review the GT3 Touring? I think that would be very interesting, as it is slightly more practical / daily, so maybe that would bring its position more in line with your Gtr.
It's not that often you hear and see a screaming GT3 flyby on the autobahn and having the feel that Tim took you along for the ride in his gelbgrun jet cockpit... great!
Well Porsche is solely a performance brand, while Mercedes is a high end luxury car brand that also make performance cars like the GTR which is a beast! It all depends on what you prefer, but at the end of the day my choice would be a Porsche. Specifically the 911 GT3 RS which is my Dream car! I currently own a 718 cayman, which is an amazing car as well!
Question? I thought it odd how many miles you were putting on the Mercedes. Unless you were( planing to get rid of the Mercedes months ago.) You did get them offly close to one another. And both are still very new. And you still have at least 3 more cars coming. Happy happy motoring.
I think that you have answered at 23:56. GT3 is better choice as it is made for track and drive and enjoy. I would choose S class as daily drive and GT3 for race.
Not even a comparison... I had a 2020 E63S AMG kept it for 6 months and sold it, the money that they loose it’s unreal, Porsche still has the best resale value between the two and looks, my GT3 will be here in 2 days and can’t wait to get it. Best trade ever
These 2 cars are so great. Every time you hop into the GTR you think it is the one you would keep if you have to make a choice but then you drive the GT3 shortly after and you change your mind again and you say this is the one. Great video as this is the same exact though that goes through anyone who owns both. But I must say if you live in the US, where the highway speeds are limited to 70 mph, the GTR frustrates you as you could never experience the full potential of the GTR, and sure you could take it to the track but then the GT3 has the edge. So I must say if you live in the US probably the GT3 makes much more sense.
The Porsche is more special but the AMG win in overall practicality. It would be fun to keep the Porsche as it is and keep upgrading the AMG like a project car
not really. he made it impractical with the dumb roll cage and horrid bucket seats then bitched about it. a GT3 with no roll cage and no buckets will happily go to a track just as a benz GTR will.
Hi Tim!! I just realized today that I have, in my Hot Wheels collection, a Porsche 911 GT3 whith I think has the very same color as your real Porche!! I liked your 911 since you showed to us in the factory! If you want, I will be very happy if you accept this little car as a gift for you.... Just let me know if you realy want, then I will try to send it to you, to Frankfurt or London. I'll be very happy if this little green car can go to you and make part of you colection!! Thaks for bring to me the world of cars, whith you videos, photos! I like them a lot!!!! A fan from Brazil.
Both of these cars are fantastic but I am a little biased toward the Porsche. Having only owned a 540i with M package which felt better at 120mph than at lower speeds, but not many places in the U.S. where you can get away with cruising at that speed for some distance. Here I would be happy to own almost any modern Porsche. I have my eye on the latest 911 R which is fast enough for me here.
Shmee150, even though it will make it slightly heavier upfront having the bigger fuel tank makes sense especially the amount of miles you drive making it a proper grand touring car Tim
Couldn't you have addressed all of your concerns with the GT3 by speccing it without the racing buckets, roll cage and racing harness? If your primary issues lay with its everyday usability and as the AMG GT R has none of those items either, seems to me it might be the better sports car for you if it wasn't so compromised by those track-specific options.
Just watched the vid of a Hurrican crashing at 320kmph on the Autobhan. Hope you drive the road first before you try your high speed runs. Any sort of bumps can be END GAME💥💥 BE CAREFUL MAN!!
Ive already said something similar on your gt3 nurburgring video, tim, but im gonna say it again..... the sound that gt3 makes when it hits the last legs of its rpm range, it made my eyes teary.......
The seats in the GT3 was your choice...Wasn’t there a more comfy option? I’m curious if you regret ur spec on the seats...I’m curious of the outcome I’m guessing your going with GTR
I am not surprised that he would take the AMG as he isn’t a real driving enthusiast if you prefer.... however, both great cars but only one pure drivers car here.....
2 great machines. I'm taking the AMG GT-R, but the GT3 is special too. Im not sure the GT3 beats it on track either. The AMG is a European version of a Muscle car with a long hood, oops how you say it across the pond the bonnet is long and the sound is a deep throaty sound. It must be incredible to have to choose from so many great cars .
Does your Porsche also have the dual speedometers? One digital and on analog? Just curious if they got rid of that. Always seemed weird to me. My 2009 has it.
So Shmee likes the black german beauty more, because she is wider overall (not just the hips). He also likes his position near the back ^^ On a serious note, great review of the cars! I would probably choose the GT3 to drive it on the Nordschleife :D
Both great ! The GTR in the Green spec option it comes with looks stunning. How about comparing the Audi rs6 Performance in the new matte dew silver spec with the GTR ? I would take a white Ferrari 488 Spyder over the GT3. But all great choices.
I would go with a GT3 Touring or 911R for the comfy seats to travel in and still have that awesome 911 chassis and engine for when you get to those lovely Italian mountain roads. Great video, watched all of it.
Hi Tim. Will both these cars stay in the collection when the TVR comes along? Murray design with the Cosworth V8 reported to put out 500bhp and quoted as being a 90k car with 135k performance figures.
New plate is good. I’m sure it was your intention Tim, but if you reverse the second ‘1’ then it looks like an M (11) then obviously the 33 doesn’t need explaining! 😂👍🏽
Two very fine machines, but let me have a go at putting them head to head to make a choice as to which I prefer! It's the Porsche 911 GT3 vs Mercedes-AMG GT R

Why don't you have a green center line on your steering wheel??
I think the GT R is a stunning car. The noise it makes is just amazing. Winner for me.
Attila Szolnoki Same here. The GT3 RS would be equally cool 😉
Two awesome Cars. GT3 more track focused while the GT R is more usable as a Daily
TDFXX Its a GT3. Not a GT3 RS -_-
Me.Grazzhoppah I think he meant if it was a GT3 RS instead of the GT3.
Attila Szolnoki Exactly
The sound of the GT3 is just orgasmic.... It gives me goosebumps
lovely sound
!;-)
I still love the GT-R over the GT3. The sound, the looks... it is a well put machine!
Both cars are phenomenal in their own right, but the GT R just holds a special place in my heart.
For me it's definitely going to be GT3
Mukesh kumar totally agree! Both excellent cars but the GT3 is the one
GT3 is the real car.
Sike af its not even the RS

GT3 = Precise, sharp sports car
GTR = Classy, luxurious hot rod
Iceman7 the GTR is much more precise than u think, it is 2 seconds faster around the nürburgring than the GT3.
I know lap times are just a part of the story when it comes to these type of cars, but that just proves the GTR is not just a “ hot rod “

Hot rods typically don't handle very well. They are both sports cars.
Nordschleife lap times German magazine SportAuto: GTR = 7.11, GT3 = 7.18 > don't underestimate the GTR ;-)
GoHardGT3RS Marketingring lap time don't mean anything. It's about how it drives, not whether it beats another car by a minuscule amount which was probably paid for anyway.
AMG GTR for me
keep dreaming
@@a.3160 so his preference is a dreaming? Ok
I love the way Tim makes you feel part of the driving process. He seems like a cool friend who just happens to own a number hard-core super cars.
Bill Nastali surely he leases and uses financing . Hardly the same as owning
@@peterrabin4374 its called leverage
Having had both cars, and recently acquiring the AMG GT-R, the latter one is an amazing vehicle. The endless power and torque and the sound of the V8 is amazing!
AMG for me all the time. It just feels so much special to me.
What you are doing is absolutely brilliant. Using your car and involving. Most guys just use their car in traffic. Love it. Keep it up. Fantastic work.
Both cars are great. GT_R for me though
Certainly one of the best videos I've seen from you! you perfectly worked out the differences!
Not sure if it was your camera angles or what, but I found this to be a very realistic perspective of driving these cars, too often watching through RUclips everything looks the same, great video
I expected this video. I also expected you'd not be able to pick a favourite. Lol similar cars, yet so very different. Good thing you have both! Cheers, Tim!
Winnipeg Car Life you are correct.. Simmiliar car, yet so different
...He did pick a favourite...
*both for sale next month*
Nah shmee is nowhere near super cars of London, or Archie or tge .... tim actually drives his cars and enjoys them !!!!!
Love that green on the GT3. Classic good looks. I've seen the GTR in person and it has a bit of theatre to it. Pretty sexy. On a side note, pretty sure the GTR is good on a track too. Didn't it have a faster time than the GT3 and GT3RS at the Top Gear track. And the ring...by 8 seconds?!
AMG for sure 😍💥💪🏼
Great content Tim. Great analogy choosing between two children. Can’t go wrong with either choice. I prefer the GT3 but I totally respect the AMG GT R. Thanks for sharing.
For me it is the GTR all day everyday! Love the AMG!!!😍🔥🔥
THE SOUND OF THE GT3!! Even my over used headphones, it's just such a thrilling sound!! And that's without owning the car!!
Somehow each video keeps getting better - splendid work Tim!
They’re both amazing cars. We are blessed that we live in a time to get to enjoys such pieces of machinery.
Great comparison of two awesome cars!!
Excellent video.

Really excellent video Tim!Well well done!
Would the 911 Turbo S be more of a competitor to the AMG GT R ?? a little softer and more of a GT than the GT3
id say no, both GT R and GT# are supposed to be track beasts, 911 Turbo S is more in line with standard GT (although turbo is surely much quicker)
Turbo S with proper mods is a monster. A 720S eater.
EvoX with propper mods is a monster. A 720s eater
Nissan GTR with propper mods is a monster. A 720s eater
Smart car with propper mods is a monster. A 720s eater

Tim, I think you have already made the best choice - have both of them !!
I've owned the 991.2 and GTR. THE GTR is so much more special and gives goosebumps every drive ❤️
These early GTR videos makes alot of sense as to why you've got the GTR pro, the GT cabrio, and the GT Black series on the way right now.
I love my GT3 and find it comfortable but I have the 18 ways seats. So maybe the GT3 would be the winner with that configuration? Haha. Great video. Enjoy both, you don’t have to choose.

Love Porsche GTS
A good and well-rounded comparison. For what it's worth I agree with your conclusion.
Great comparison Tim, 100% agree with you!
What a fun video! I can't afford either but enjoyed riding with you in both. I really like that GT R!

Such beautiful cars and location. Great video!
You’ve been doing some great comparison videos recently. I particularly enjoyed the video when you drove all of your cars on the Nurburgring circuit
GT3. It's Smaller, gives you more feedback, exciting to drive and it comes with a manual.
Well Porsche is solely a performance brand, while Mercedes is a high end luxury car brand that also make performance cars like the GTR which is a beast! It all depends on what you prefer, but at the end of the day my choice would be a Porsche. Specifically the 911 GT3 RS which is my Dream car!

This is one of the best videos you have made. Thank you :). I will always choose the GTR :)
The Turbo S would be a good Autobahn alternative to the GT3
Fil Cona but you will miss the sound of the natural aspirated exhaust sound :(
Absolutely. When you're doing 200kph and put your foot in it, and it accelerates like it's in 2nd... that's the Turbo S.
Very nice Tim!

Great review of your cars Shmee. I think I would choose the Porsche.

Good Vídeo, Shmee.
What it your opinion on HSV Tim?
EGCM What is hsv
It's not venom. There's a car brand called HSV ( Holden Special vehicles)
BTICronox lol
Look at the metal this guy pilots... don’t think HSV’s even showing up on his radar.
(That’s even if he knows what HSV is)
really? anything from Holden or Ford whether that be a commie or falcon are utter bogan shit
the new plate on the GT3. makes me sad.
It's frustrating but no point dwelling, the new plate is pretty cool!
Shmee150 Was F SH 9912 not available? Or just F SH 911/991
Why? F SH MEE makes sense! ;-)
Kevin Koeberling Probably wasn't available or cost too much.
Where did the old plate go???
You are a lucky boy Tim. I can still enjoy my m lights which are terrific all rounders to drive.

Such a hard choice, for me it would be the GT3 just, and I do mean only just, by the tiniest of margins, the GTR is just mind blowing!
Oh my god, what a terrible dilemma !! I feel for you, I really do !

Excellent conclusion Shmee ! My sentiments precisely 🚗🏁🚗🏁!
How long before Focus Red time ?
📣Another awesome vid Cheers 👍
I am not surprised that he would take the AMG as he isn’t a real driving enthusiast if you prefer.... however, both great cars but only one pure drivers car here.....
Head and shoulders above the rest. Shmee is a legend
2 great machines. I'm taking the AMG GT-R, but the GT3 is special too. Im not sure the GT3 beats it on track either.

That green is so outlandish. I would struggle to make that choice for that car. I think its a bit too much when spending that kind of money.
Brilliant video and with a very honest conclusion!
Hey Tim, I’m thinking if you could do a review on the new skoda superb rs or the Octavia rs?
Does your Porsche also have the dual speedometers? One digital and on analog? Just curious if they got rid of that. Always seemed weird to me. My 2009 has it.

Both great ! The GTR in the Green spec option it comes with looks stunning. How about comparing the Audi rs6 Performance in the new matte dew silver spec with the GTR ? I would take a white Ferrari 488 Spyder over the GT3. But all great choices.
looking at that AMG vs GT3 makes me realize that almost all car manufacturers are lagging behind Mercedes
Luckily i live in Stuttgart and i love both the cars . Btw you pronounced Stuttgart very well
wenn stuttgart (Stadt/Regierung) nicht so reinscheißen würde grade haha....
I would go with a GT3 Touring or 911R for the comfy seats to travel in and still have that awesome 911 chassis and engine for when you get to those lovely Italian mountain roads. Great video, watched all of it.
If you specced the 18-way seats on the GT3 would that have made the ride a bit more comfortable?
