This is my favorite car that Jay has brought on the show.
One of my favorite episodes so far! The guys from Sharkwerks are really cool and talented. This Porsche is phenomenal and so well-crafted. I love how they used Carillo rods and tossed the stock titaniums. Great job, guys.
That dude totally matched his shoes and the Porsche for this specific day.... and probably every time he takes that car out.

Feeling the vibration become more and more aggressive as it approaches climax.. nothing beats it
I love the concept, pure sport car, keeping the sport in the car, and Jay s on point once again, loved this episode!
@Sharwerks...you should look at Inconel rather than SS as an alternative to Ti...Inconel has a much higher tensile strength than Ti but is almost as light...F1 uses it for their exhaust and it was developed by U.S. Defense contractors for use in High Performance military jet turbines and other parts.
I just love the color combination. It really stands out. It is one killer ride.

"only the manual ones are our favourites" ...Yup I like that quote and that screams REAL CAR GUYS !! How many times does Jay Leno also ask for a manual tranny option when its not available in a car. Real car guys for sure. That is the last greatest Porsche ever made (997 gen and then the GT3 RS) and SharkWerks, you guys just made it that much better. Awesome work guys and I love your passion for all things cars or Porsche and I wish you the best, same to you as well Sir Jay Leno. Car guys and driver's cars are both a dying breed and it saddens me everyday to think about it.

Hey guys. I just wanted to know if you've got something going on with a 991 7 speed manual carrera/S. The new 991 turbo and gt3 are FAR from being puristic cars as they rely too much on technology for a fast lap around the track. The base carrera/S seems to come with a 7MT which I do like very much, but do you guys have any plans to add some of your sweet touches to it in the near future? I'd love to see a modded 991 Porsche Carrera S 7MT kick butt on a track and be a daily driver.

I hate to be rude but i don't like attitudes like yours, sure a lever connected directly to the gears is wonderful.... but paddles are faster, and when you're dealing with a car that has the level of performance the GT3's offer, i think i'd choose paddles over a traditional manual. I don't want to be the limiting factor of the car, and if i can bang out those shifts faster with paddles... then i think i deserve it to the car, this rocket ship on wheels, to go with the paddles.
Fantastic! They should put a manual box in the 991 GT3!
This is cool for me. My daily driver is a 2007 997 SharkWerks 650 Turbo, yet I've never met the guys or even knew what they look like. This makes me feel like if I ever had an issue it wouldn't be a problem to call them. Well done!

I have been a fan of SharkWerks since first seeing that ZKERMIT on KZread. This new car looks and sounds awesome. Way out of my price range, but I can watch it and dream. Congrats on getting on JLG, looks like Jay really liked it!
Thank you jay & your crew for all these awesome video's...
Oh hell yes. I've been waiting for an RS Porsche!! Cannot get enough of these cars. Awesome job guys!!
An instant classic. Hard to find under 200K now sadly.
Excellent work...I like how they tweaked the performance without effecting the overall factory appearance. A true driver's car...very impressive.
4:52 What is your duty? Ok, close your mouth, I don't care. Nice Jay, nice.
I would absolutely LOVE to see the Porsche 9ff 1200 here! It's a beast!

Jay is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to cars, that,s why I'm surprised he referred to Hesketh Racing logo @ 0:57 as little teddy bear shirt. That was filthy rich baron Lord Hesketh's racing logo from formula 1 racing in the early 1970's. The 24 and Hunt are for Racing legend James Hunt in the number 24 Hesketh car.

Thanks Jay, looking to all your JLG videos, it is so good and passionate. Thanks for that !! I always look with a smile on my face! I am a simple Belgian 914 driver and enthousiast, waiting for a video of a 914/4. Thanks!!
Thanks guys, you made my Monday. What a beauty.
Love that sound ! Great vid. Jay , thank you sir !
This is easily one of the best cars I have seen at Jay's garage!
Love Alex's SUSE shirt. Still showing his roots as a computer guy.
The right way to tune a car. This one I would buy and not be afraid to use. The "Feel" is still there. So good work.
"there it is" Awesome Jay!

I have heard a lot of great things from the Sharkwerkes guys, didn't know they Made their own crank shaft. Just goes to show that they go all out, that exhaust sound fantastic and is more durable than the factory one... Amazing!
beautiful!! thank you Jay!
Awesome car! I love the blue and orange and sounds great!
I like the smile on the face of the owner during the ride.
Awesome job Sharkwerks!! Love the color combo on the ride and your British accents. Thanks for jumping the pond to help us out with our toys.
That exhaust has a really nice robust sound, but not intrusive. It's nice. What a great ride.
Really enjoy this one... great work here. Congrats!

Jay your garage makes cars look amazing
What a sound.
I grew up in Provo, Utah when Robert Redford buzzed around town in a 911. His sister in law was a classmate, she would let us know when he was on a TV show, the Virginian among them. That was the first cool German car I had ever sen, bright red and what a beautiful sound

Wouldn't want it in that color. The sound is amazing!

amazing sound
Beautiful GT3 RS! Amazing engine sound!
lovely xhaust sound
To bad I can only hit the like button once. Love this car! Thanks Jay!
my uncle has a new 911 carerra 4 and it doest sound nearly as good as this one, great job guys!
Love the color combo. That is one sweet GT3.
I usually don't like the way Porsche's sound, but i like that very much. Very smooth sounding for a boxer

Watched it when it first came out. After watching it again, looking at the rear spoiler; and then look at the one on the new 2015 991 GT3 RS. There is a lot of similarities there. This is over a year previous.
I love Jay leno's garage,
Absolute dream car!
This is *very* nice and also "Nicely Done" Jay !
Great Porsche!
Very bold and innovative choice of paint schemes. You usually only see such designs on track cars.
Lol The look on Jays face 7 seconds in!! Either he's in ecstasy or falling asleep.
great video really enjoyed it. The improvements made sound like they made a great car even better without compromising the feel of the original. completely unrelated but please get an eagle speedster on jay leno's garage

cheers kenneth... well tool steel can actually be light although not as light as the ti we took out. However with the lighter crank and pistons etc... we make it back and then some. The reason we voted off the titanium was it can stretch and wanted something that would last long and be more reliable.
SIIIIICK!!!!!!!!! keep them coming Jay!
Nothing better then a manual trans
The orange and blue looks unreal! It suits the brand name well, even though "SharkWerks" sounds a bit hokey but hey that's just me. Very cool guys!
