The 997 generation GT3 will probably be one of the most sought after in a few years time. Relatively light and compact when compared to more modern cars, the character, handling and Mezger engine are timeless. Add Manthey suspension and an engine upgrade for one of the best cars ever.

I think you have impeccable taste James but I don't understand the koenigsegg purchase. To me they are like a Hubolt mp, incredible pieces of engineering but would you use it? With type of wedge your going to drop on it you could build your modern classic collection. This is the sweet spot. The world is going to change now and these ultra hyper cars seem ridiculous, undriveably fast and ludicrously expensive. You could invest in a modern classic's garage and have a collection you could enjoy and share with future petrol heads...you could build something special at that facility with the right collection....cars that can be used and shared...I firmly believe we've tipped and 1000bhp+ cars are a nonsense..

@@dagnut How is the world going to change so that a hybrid hypercar is going to be less enjoyable and less usable than a conventional ICE car? The war that is currently going on against the car is about co2, not speed, so a hybrid is definitely more future proof than a ICE car unless you're just going to park it in a garage and look at it. That hypercars will drop in value and not go back up is also nothing more than a guess, it's literally impossible to know.

Good to see a familiar face during the Apocalypse . Thanks dude! This made me feel much better x x

The most elegant GT3 rs! Instant Classic.

Nothing beats an analog manual elite sportscar like this one. 997's are truly STUNNING cars!

I’m fortunate to have recently purchased a 997.2 RS, after watching this video I’m really itching to drive it! It will be shipped this weekend... nothing like a kid waiting to open his presents before Christmas, a rare feeling as you get older! Life is good.

It's not the fastest, but the most fun, just a masterpiece, a dream of every driver

Besides the 993 turbo shape with it's wide hips, for me the 997.2 GT3/RS is still one of the best looking 911s ever made..

We love you James this is an absolute classic

Love the 997 Gen cars last of the great analogue cars ...

Always have and always will love heebee. What a legend!

Just what we needed

The 997 period will be a classic 911 shape and the GT3 is one of the flagship models, I love it !

Had the opportunity to drive one of these and it will stick with me forever the feel, feedback, etc etc. Just amazing

I don’t understand why Mr JWW only gets a tiny viewing rate compared to some of the car drivel that is on KZread? Sir, your content is TV quality and your insight into the subject matter is second to none. I’m hoping people start discovering this channel so you get the recognition you rightly deserve.

I can't get over it..it's just beautiful, And the Metzger..sounds just as good or better then even a Ferrari aV12

I have kind of a soft spor for the Gen 1 997 GT3, especially the non-RS version, but Gen 2 is better, there is no doubt. Long live the Modern Classic series! Waiting for more!

Love this series , thanks Mr JWW , cheered my week up , keep,it going 😎👍🏻

Nice! I love the 997.2 RS so much and I wish there was more quality content on YT with it. Back when it was launched YT wasn't how it is now. These are going to be worth BIG money sooner than later.

Been impatiently waiting for one of yous to upload something,as being on full lockdown in mauritius after 12 cases including one death have been found and no work for 2 weeks (happy days as hate my job and the bosses), i haven't had any interesting tv series or films to watch all day! So many thanks for this upload James,really appreciate it! :)

Love that Gen. Love this series 🤟😊

Love this Series!

i have been a Ferrari Fan my whole life ....but this car and its predecessors of naturally aspirated 500HP manual machines of Pure Wonder have convinced me to believe @Porsche is the Best Manufacture of Pure Racing Machines ...i have fallin in love with these cars n the House of Porsche .... fabulously content James as always ...Cheers Bello Cheers

My favourite content. Modern classic series is just fantastic. Great sounding cars that aren't restricted by particulate filters & other gubbins.

Nothing better than a Porsche

What a great way to start a Saturday morning! One of my favourite cars of all time, pretty much perfect!

Best porsche of the last 10 years

2023, and this is still one of the best reviews of the peak 911.

Only a Porsche like this GT3 can look this good with a big wing.

Great to see the Modern Classics series back and what a brilliant car to start with.

Another SUPERIOR Review James. And yet THIS one hits home for me. So yes I agree, the RS for the top track 997GT3 weapon, but for the street I get pretty darn close with my non-RS 997.2 GT3, and don’t have to worry with the dual mass FW, and no Harmonic Balancer or Cam Actuator Bolt issues. Absolutely love this car. Very well done review!!2

Ultimate dream car!

Hey James just to let you know. The “airy” feeling of the engine you described and lower torque is due to a lighter flywheel. This is gives that awesome quick, blip response that you feel when heel-toeing. Probably best described as a comparison between a v10 F1 car vs a road car. Those F1’ would have a flywheel roughly the size of your fist and abroad car one the size of a dinner plate and a lot heavier so it carries more momentum which translates to torque. Great video. Love your work. 👍🏻👍🏻

One of the best reviews I've seen. Passion and feeling. Spot on! Well done.

One of my favorites!

My God, the rawness… I love it! Wish I had a private racetrack while in quarantine 😂

thanks for the video, great content and i forgot about the depressing state of the country for 20mins. it was needed.

JWW PLS KEEP DOING WAT YOU DO YOU ARE ONE OF FEW THAT STILL REPRESENT THE MANUAL AND INDEED THE AMAZING 997. THANK YOU!

Absolut dream car! If I was able to afford one of them, I would seriously be considering this over a newer one.

Really loving the JWW HQ.

Great review. I couldn’t agree more. The 997.2 RS is the high water mark for the GT/RS series. Last of the true analog driver’s car with soul and pure interface with its driver requiring driver and car to work together and becoming an extension of the driver. Last of the Mezger engines GT cars. Single mass fly wheel. 6spd. 1400 produced world wide. Values climbing. Sold my 2019 RS and bought a 997.2 RS and haven’t looked back.

One of the greatest modern day Porsche’s 👊🏻

my favorite series, great work lad

This and the 430 Scuderia... in 20 years they will be the most wanted cars of Porsche and Ferrari. Because they are the most emotional and organic cars of the modern age. After that, the cars only got softer and boring... Love these videos! More of that please James!! 😅🥰

What an amazing car! Lovely, thanks!

Perfect drivers car and the perfect presentation of the car. James you are so good at this and just getting better and better. Loving all this. Hat off to you sir

Loving the Porsche content. Nothing beats a modern classic Porsche. Well done!

This is the best car to start the new series. Thanks for sharing. This is the 911 for me for sure. Can’t wait to see what else you’ve got lined up.

The last of breed and extremely special. There is no extremely dated infotainment, the steering wheel is clean, the button layout simple. Car manufacturers need to offer more of this today instead of throwing an iPad-like infotainment system in everything.
