The 991.2 generation Porsche 911 GT3 is one of my favorite manual sports cars, with a glorious 4.0L naturally aspirated flat six that revs to 9000 rpm. My friend Steven recently bought a very nicely optioned Miami Blue GT3, so we take it for a drive and chat/argue about what it has been like to own!

Huge respect to Steven’s humility in caveating it could be driver ability while still providing valuable feedback. No car is perfect regardless of prestige!
There is exactly 0% chance he is driving this car on the street anywhere near 10/10th. Sell the car to someone else and go back to McLaren so real Porsche enthusiasts can own one.
Anyone (this side of a racecar driver) who feels a GT3 is lacking in driving dynamics (turn-in, too much body roll etc) on the street, makes no sense to me.
mod the car … Dundon headers and intake -35lbs and 40lbs torque mid range, Antigravity lithium battery -35lbs … BBS wheels -30lbs unsprung weight … lower 10mm, corner balance and negative camber … changes GT3 dramatically
Loved the debate, I'm with you Eddie, I'll message Steven in disappointment hahaha. I'll have to get him on the track with me too so we can change his mind!
Yeah I would have to disagree.. it's most likely his driving style and confidence that is holding him back from exploring the car.. Truly the 991.2 GT3 is a good mix of modern style but having some old school feel with the Manual.
Steven the 600LT will run circle around this thing. Don't even think twice about it. Get a 600 and don't look back
991.2 gt3 is the best Gt3 ever made, much more beautiful and proportionate than 992 gt3 and the performance is very similar.
Love this car! 991 Interior is more analog with lower dashboard height than 992, but 992 GT3’s double wishbone front suspension has ruined me ……steering is so much sharper with better feel and individual throttle bodies give the most crisp throttle response. I think your friend needs to try a 992 version as that car solves his complaints. Being a McLaren fanboy as well I actually understand what he’s talking about
I love the gt3 but it is slow. After getting in a McLaren... There is no way I can enjoy this car. It feels like a fast sport car at best
The noise that engine makes at high rpms is epic
Buyer’s remorse haha I’ve been there.
I own a 991.2 gt3 manual. Had an alignment and great on track. Better driver took me out and was stunned what it could do. Does need learning, but best car i have owned and will keep as long as i am able.
Respectfully, if the car doesn’t give you the fiz then sell it so it gets to somebody who wants it. And continue your search.
Great video Eddie you're a great presenter especially at the beginning for a moment it felt like I was watching an autoweek host or perhaps a car and driver video. It'd be great to get an update video to see later down the line to see if Steven still feels the same about the car maybe after a few mods or still doesn't like it.
Take it to the track and you will appreciate it 100x more.
The 991 is understeery without the double wishbone needs some trail braking. I totally understands what Steve is saying
I love the fact they were designed around the beetle. Classic stuff. My 997.2 C2S PDK looks even more like an old classic sports car and that’s what I love. No spoilers and not too race car like. Each to their own I guess. I would love a GT3 as well though 😊
The McLaren will always feel with less body roll due to a lot of factors as you know the mid engine experience is a lot different than the 911s. The 911 will keep you in check as you said on your own words. “I have to focus” give it a track spec suspension set up and it will wake up the handling. They are not the best out of the box.

Hey Eddie, to your comment at
