CCFerrariF1 it’s the fetishization of specs to the point that he considers some owners real enthusiasts and others not. It’s his hate towards others. He buys and sells a lot so he cares about the secondary market preferences-which is fine-but he takes it to such a point that he’s putting down other car guys.

All his talk about carbon ceramic brakes in the beginning of this video made him look like a sleazy salesman. Never knew this guy and now I want to avoid his podcast.

I attended Porsche Driving School at Barber Motorsports Park this past weekend. We drove the 911 GTS, 911 Turbo S, Panamera Turbo, Cayman and Boxster S. The only car they did not have was the T. The GTS was the star on the track but the Turbo S was a blast during the launch control segments. We did not get to drive the GT3 but at the end of the day, pro drivers took us for hot laps. I really wanted a GT3, but after a "real" lap in a GT3, I decided I don't need that. It was a true holy sh!t experience. Also, don't knock the Cayenne. they have a great off road course and that vehicle could do things that were absolutely amazing.

Pretty funny all these people in the comments without a clue who Spike is and don't realize they're good buddies. You would think Matt letting him drive would have tipped them off.

(Even as a car fanatic, I can admit that most dudes that talk cars just sound like total kooks and kind of creepy nerdy, which is why I resist from talking too much car talk around the ladies, especially Porsche talk). Matt and especially Chris Harris do a great job with it, most others don't. And holy hell, can someone please learn to drive?

These Carbon Ceramic brakes look good … but they are horribly expensive to replace once worn off: talking about over 30k (!) for four discs with brake pads. This is insane …but you have no other option when the time has come!

I love it when you guys collaborate on each others' podcasts. I also thoroughly enjoyed this video. Do more together please.

Came back for a re-watch. What a great formula. 2 stellar hosts, with a ton of knowledge and experience between them. Spike and Matt drive Porsches should be a regular show!

It annoys me that people believe that the Carrera T is significantly lighter than the normal Carrera. It’s 44 pounds lighter without backseats. So this example is within a few pounds of a normal Carrera.

The weight isn't that big of a deal. It's much more how light it FEELS than how light it IS. The LSD, PASM, sport suspension, and most importantly, rear steer (not available on Carrera) add an extra level of agility to the Carrera T you don't get with the base car. Sure, it's a nuanced difference, but a difference nonetheless.

I love the POV camera angle, focusing on the experience and not only on the driver's face.

That GT3-T looks so damn good in that color.

I happily watched every minute of this one. Please do the 911R vs the GT3 Touring as well. It also made it really great having Spike with you, great dialogue.

The T isn't that much lighter, but I still think it's a cool package and I really liked this video. If I was shopping for one, I think the way to do it is to go as hardcore as possible with the weight reduction- no back seat, carbon buckets, radio delete...

That GT3 sounds like angels screaming wow I can’t get over that sound

Just listened to Spike's Car Radio with Matt as the guest... talking about this video. And then here it is. Great stuff.

unlike some of these guys, I love having Spike in the video, it makes the video less of a review and more of a discussion about the car. Hope you have him back, Matt!

Nobody does it like Matt. Good to have a little spice in the onboard discussion.

Love the GT3 T, you don't need lift IMO, Ceramics nice. Lift is seen as necessary for resale in the UK, so is needed as everyone thinks you need it ! Anyone used to drive low cars doesn't need it.

Great one (two) take! I enjoyed Spike's input and his comedy

Great video Matt. Not sure if you have experienced The No lift shifts in the GT3 but it is epic. The new manual GT3 gearbox comes out of the box and even without pressing the sport bottom with power shifts feature allowing you to keep your foot buried into the gas pedal while shifting into the next gear, giving you perfect shift at 9000 rpm redline and similar to PDK shifts. Again great video. Mark

Loved the video. You guys had great chemistry!

Finally found this vid. Awesome, what a great care Spike.

Spike is a legend. Love both of your podcasts. Great video for a fan!

The weight difference / feel you're talking about will simply be down to the springs and relative stiffness. Has such a profound effect on any car.

Great vid. Interesting comparison. Special TV production points to Matt for wearing Matte lenses in his sunglasses.

Watching this in honor of the 992 GT3 Touring getting announced today. What an engine. Geezus!

A lot of hard core track guys like the steel brakes due to cost of maintenance. Something to keep in mind 👊 Great channel Matt! You can also tune the T and make it Hella fast for way way way less money.

Agree. I track both my gt3 and 911. There is little advantage to the carbon brakes . You avoid some fade with the carbons if it is 110 degrees in Palm Springs after 30 laps. But carbons are otherwise just grabby. Like you said. And fabulously expensive to service. No way they are worth it. Even if you get half your money back when you sell. Which I won’t ever do. On the other hand, the front lift seems, at first, ridiculous . But I would have worn my front end off if I didn’t have it.

Just used the 3 Seashells reference today at work! Coincidence! And no one knew what I was talking about. LOL

Great video. Would be awesome to do more in this format- Spike, Zack, Rogan, etc!

if you listen to enough V8s, yes, you can easily tell the difference between an LS, a F136 from a Ferrari, the same engine in a Maserati or Alfa, or a Ford stroker.

Great video guys. enjoy your podcasts as well. Trying to decide Base vs Carrera T. Do you think the Limited slip diff and shorter rearend make the T worthwhile? I just test drove a Base and have really got the bug for a 911. Thanks again for yall's content.

Nice one Matt. Glad Spike joined you in a video.

That chalk color is beautiful. I’d take the Carrera T but the GT3 touring is an amazing looking and sounding car.

Great video, looking forward to my Touring!

Can anyone explain to me why on second hand market ceramic brakes are so desired. I feel like I would still perfer steel brakes since I might go to the track several times with the car.

I have PCCB on my Cayman GTS. It's always worth it. The lack of brake dust alone is a blessing! With Turbos coming to the GT3 soon, I'm hoping that it'll still sound sharp inside. The Carrera T does not sound all that bad already. Nothing compared to the 4.0L but sadly, that chapter will close soon.

Regarding the ceramic brake noise on the GT3, I wonder if the passenger side rotors suffered from side-of-road debris contamination at some point in their service life. Pure speculation on my part. Always fun to hear some 911 goodness and "keep it basic" with a $175k car makes me chuckle.

Awesome vid; and, great crossing-guard seatbelts.

This vid is just full of famous last words

I love my Porsche Boxster but a manual GT3 is goals!!

What watch is that you’re wearing, Matt? Also, loved this video, the banter between you and Spike was really entertaining and these were some awesome cars. Thanks!

Amazing he said 356, it has always been 991. And the couple guys I know that have the R are NOT running out to buy a touring, they are keeping them, they also both have 918. Also it never got to 700-800k, it got to 400-500k at most. A buddy of mine that does have a touring on order (Miami blue) wanted an R but never got allocation due to not being a 918 owner. He also has a GT4, 997.2 GT3 full sharkwerks, a 991.1 Carrera S (along with some others like four lotus and a Mc, crazy that he couldn't talk his way into an R from the dealer).

Yeah, my buddy tried to get the R also and got passed up since he hadn't gotten the 918. He has a 991.2 non-touring PDK and his Touring will be here in Jan. Best of both worlds really. ;)

As to the seventh gear you can get to it from 6th or 5th

The comparison should also include the 911 GTS. How that model positions against GT3 Touring and Carrrera T. What about also the Carrera S?

Great chat gents very enjoyable, some very interesting and valid points raised.

I think they should of put the S 420hp enfine in the T..I have 2 porsches; 2017 718-S and a 2017 Macan GTS-love them both. Porsche builds fun and reliability! Great vids dude...Bullitt was a great 70's movie, btw...

do these two cars have the same wheels and suspension? if the gt3 is "lighter on its feet" it could explain that the upper part of the car feels heavier, if someone with more experience than me could explain I would be thankful

Carrera T has a great interior sound and feel unlike the base carrera...

Enjoyed that nice to see both your opinions each car

Way to rep the Nat'l Forest Sign! I bought a FiST and the first place I ran it was in Zion! Pikes Peak was closed 🤙

7th gear is awesome for cruising at a steady 200 plus kph on the autobahn :)

“Special brakes” (PCCB) are awesome but when it comes time to replace them ... ouch. Which will likely be the 2nd owner’s responsibility. Just like me with my M6. After two track sessions I went from 60k mi life expectancy to only 14k mi. I just hadddd to take it on track to see what it could do though. Question is: replace with CCB next time or swap to steel? Hmmmm.

Very cool, but how annoying is the auto rev match feature? Is it true you have to be in track mode to disable it?

@thesmokingtire did you really just call yourself a "hardcore porsche enthusiast"! welcome, we've been waiting for you! (love the Gold Turtle!)

Matt - nice video and two great drivers car - There are Carrera T owners who got more than 500 horses easy from the base T engine and with some small mods to go with that - you have a very powerful and fun car It would be amazing if you could get your hands on one of those PLEASE -:)

Anders Jensen That was the comment I was looking for! The GT3 T is obviously the better car, but you can match the HP and get much more TQ even with the Carrera T (small turbos) engine. Also, another advantage of the Carrera T buy is that you can get optional itens only available for the “S” model, like the torque vectoring. That’s why I bought one and because I can’t afford a GTS or a GT3 T or so many superior Porsche models. Ahah

cool how you filmed the walk-around from a pogo stick

The main problem with ceramic brakes is not the upfront cost or the sqeauling, it’s having to replace TWO rotors at around $30K with labor when a stone chips one rotor, or the mechanic nicks it changing your wheels. I would never be able to relax having these brakes.

I know there pretty different cars cars but how would the 991.2 gt3 compare to the Shelby GT350R Matt?

Touring GT3 is definitely the version of GT3 I’d take

@Beauchee Well spotted. Ouch ! When I bought my steed from a non Porsche specialist, they wouldn't touch cars that had hit the limiter more than twice (they were rightly wary of cars that had been tracked and driven by Orangutans on the rev limiter, causing potential engine damage). Their mechanical sensitivity always resonated with me. (P.S. I'm not suggesting anyone on the channel is orange or has long arms).

Awesome video, Matt! Stupid, irrelevant question, but what's the watch you are wearing?

Good video, little awkward for the both of you for him to mention not crashing it

Matt, always enjoy your videos - but please put a polarizer filter on your camera. The reflection of the dashboard is bad. (Or put the cam outside)

Matt, Spike...you've done yourselves a dis-service by missing out on the main,major reason why the Carrera T is so good to drive? The lower gearing which makes the turbo-lag dis appear and makes the engine seem very keen.

Incorrect Spike, the T is not for people that can’t afford a GT, I have a .2 GT3RS Weissach and I love my manual T! The perfect road car 👍👍

It's amazing how people jump on the hate wagon once they see one comment. I wasn't a fan of this Spike either, but he did nothing to deserve being labeled a D bag or accused of ruining the video. He provided the car so you wouldn't have this video without him. Chill people.

I kinda agree with Matts statement...the base car is fundamentally the same. The T is for enthusiasts to feel special inside. Rolling into cars and coffee then winking at other old men sounds creepy though... A loaded AWD S or GTS with PDK gets my pick. Ultimately a turbo S if I could afford it. I like fast planted cars optimized for daily use. GT3 or T is the other side of that philosophy.

Love your Porsche vids!
