The Best Bang for Your Buck 2013 Porsche 911 GT3 / Buyers Guide

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

n this video, I’m looking at the Porsche 911 GT3 specifically the 991.1 GT3. The first Porsche GT Car to come with Rear-Wheel-Steering, the first Porsche to come with a Direct Fuel Injected Flat-6 Motor and controversially - the first to come with a PDK gearbox with no manual option.
With the current car market at an all time high especially with GT3’s. Could be this be the one to have for the same money as a brand new 718 Cayman GT4?

    Insightful review Sid. Cheers! I've not long bought one and loving it. I was originally after a club sport spec but after having test driven three I finally opted for a comfort spec one. The reason being I have young kids who love to come along for a b road blast (child seats fit better in the 18 way seats) and the comfort spec one was in much better condition than the the two newer club sport specs - I think due to lack of tracking!! :) I also opted for the gen 1, but make no mistake the gen 2 car is a better car but could not justify paying £40k more for something that is maybe 5% better! I also had a 981 GT4, I have to say that pound for pound for b roads that is probably the better car, that said I would not swap back but the GT4 was a fantastic road car!

    Great video. I totally agree with you re value for money. At the moment, with the price so reachable, it's a damn good deal. I'm not so concerned anymore about the fact that it's not manual because the PDK is a fantastic transmission. Automatic transmissions are no longer the same as before. But the only thing I'm still concerned about is the E (or F) engine in this 2013 model is now 11 years old - how reliable will it be after the 10 yr warranty expires.

    Iinteresting what you say about the long gearing and that it's usually frowned upon, but it does allow you to drop gears more easily and put you in the high rev range instantly. My 981 Cayman GTS is like that too, if you're giving it some around B roads, you end up moving up and down between gears 1-3 but my god does it sound glorious. It's also interesting about how much people talk about the high 9000 RPM when it's actually pretty hard to get to on public roads. Of course, it still sounds insane!

    The 991 Gen 2 GT3 has the motorsport engine straight from the cup cars, no valvetrain problem. The 10 year warranty is helpful but will be running out soon in 2023. That was the reason I bough a 997 GT3 gen2 , the price was slightly cheaper but has now surpassed the 991 .1 GT3 and it’s a manual. You can not replace the feeling of joy when you drive it right. 991.2 GT3 in manual/pdk will be the one to go for. Great video btw always a pleasure to watch👍

    Mine is a 2015 with F-engine. Porsche approved guarantee possible until 15 years of age, i.e. mid 2030 for mine. I don’t worry a bit. The rear wheel steering is also a watch out on any GT3. Some exceed tolerance play after 20.000km already.

    Had this exact dilemma a few month ago. Picked the FF, now looking for a GT3… Two totally different cars. I though the focus of the GT3 would compromise the daily experience but I miss the nimbleness of a 911. Despite the V12, the FF is too much of a compromise for me who drives mountain passes a lot. In conclusion, it is a sport car vs a GT car and if you like sport more than comfort (and you don’t need back seats!! Very important) I would say go the GT3 route. 997.2 if you can ;)
