Porsche 992 911 GTS | The Alternate GT3

So it’s just between GT3 and the regular Carrera, or a turbo S? Seems there were two answers at once.

These guys are the best!
Just placed my order for a 911 GTS today. Stoked

How does it compare to the Turbo/Turbo S in regards to sound isolation and ride comfort? I tried the GTS its a bit above average noisy, and the ride was a bit on the rough side (PASM Sport Option)

What 911 would you recommend for a everyday street car ? Thanks

The real alternate to a 991.2 or 992 GT3 is a 991.1 GTS because NA engine. 😎

Widowmaker: a term coined by German pilots terrified of their flawed Luftwaffe F104G Starfighter seemed fitting for the Porsche 930 Turbo. I wonder how many foolish Americans buy a rear wheel drive Porsche and don't know what they are getting into. This and Mustangs are known for being the biggest killers due to their rear wheel drive.

Thinking about selling everything for a 991 gts4 to use as my only car for the rest of my life but can it replace 3 cars with different jobs 🤔

LC 500 all the way and you won’t go broke !

I know how to drive manual, but i prefer automatic because i need to be holding my girl's hand while I drive

Both the 992 GTS and the 991.2 GTS are a better option than the GT3 in many ways (quicker too in some circumstances). The lower down torque, smooth increase throughout the rev range, is a better drive.

Can you expand on your opinion of the harsh ride?
I have one coming in October with Normal PASM.
Will that be better for daily driver and interstate trips?

Shame you didn't drive it on the road.

Interesting. I bought a 991.2 recently as I couldn’t get an allocation for the 992. Could have ordered a new GTS- probably cheaper and true that the difference in performance isn’t large. The decision was made to go gt3 because of the NA engine. I’ve owned 2 turbos, they are crazy fast but the sound even with an exhaust change doesn’t match the gt3. You can’t beat 9000 rpm for crazy! I’m also a wing guy, but that’s just me. All in, it was a tough choice to go with the older gt3 and your video presents the points between the cars well. Good job.

Even though I usually follow technical cases review I do like allot your approach and how your presenting these 2 cars. Keep up the good work !

Cool channel. Out of curiosity, who are these gents in the context of automotive journalism/road car testing? Well spoken chaps and a great presentation.

Weeks away from getting my new GTS and can’t wait beaded on all the positive reviews. Can’t wait to track it.

We need a GT3 Touring review

Would you trade in a gt350 for one? Haha

Put the 992 GT3 and 992 GTS (with RAS) on MPSC2 😀 The review also felt like Jack was holding to Porsche orthodoxy in terms of hierarchy of vehicles and talking points. I personally believe the 981 GTS NA 3.4L or 718 GTS 4L Cayman with PASM/PTV/SC are far more fun and interesting sports cars than the 992 GTS or GT3, they are far more rightsized (in terms of HP and torque) for public roads allowing you to work them. Did you know the 981/982(718) Cayman Chassis has higher torsional rigidity than the 991 and 992 911? Also note, the GT3 has been running to 9000RPM since 2014. I like my Porsches and indeed own more than one including a 991.2 GT3 RS - remember Porsche are masters of marketing and the time a car does round a track is primarily dependant on the skill level and experience of the driver.

Doesn't sound all that great compared to the naturally aspirated generations. I am just not feeling it.

How much louder is the LWP vs this one? Assuming same mic as your other LWP review, it sounds slightly louder.

No such thing as an alternate GT3. It's either a GT3 or it's far from it.

Vau!

GRANDE PORSCHE 🇮🇪 ❤️ 👍 🔝

Got a new 992 Targa 4s a few months ago. Same color and interior as this one. It is so crazy fast! Have top down as much as possible. So glad the noise when down is not as bad as many said. And the sound of that flat six is glorious.

Base Carrera is the sweet spot of any generation 911 the others are if you want "more"

That's a lot of dough. The performance seems to match the price though, which is good. I'll have to rough it with my M2, oh well.

Porsche has lost their mind with their modern prices.

I'm not sure why someone would get a 992 GTS over an R8. R8 has a bigger better engine, better looks, naturally aspirated V10, etc.

Great review of a really good, yet overpriced car. In a recent track test a M4 competition x-drive went toe to toe with the 992 4GTS. The Beamer costs significantly less, offers superior daily usability, four seats and a good size trunk. And then there is the C8 zO6....

is this the one, boys?

NO FAKE ENGINE NOISE!
What a concept.....

Today I learned Jack doesn’t like deep dark holes

Also Porsche go fast

More and more repeated content

It took me 12 days to like and comment. Honestly Jack nailed it on the Final thoughts. This car is my favourite in the Porsche line up. 911 Carerra you can’t beat it.

The GTS trim is definitely the right balance.

Thanks for the review guys. I have always loved Porsches and the 911 is the iconic version. Obviously I wish the price was lower, but I am so glad there are car companies still making sports cars instead of boring, electrified X-overs.

7 gears what are we doing here I mean 6 was to far anyway I would go 4 because last year everything froze my car spun I couldn’t leave my house and for me if I’m dropping 150 grand it will be my only car so I need it to drive everyday and a 4 manual what will that be like?🤯🔫👍🏼

Porsche: "Test it and enjoy, but if you wreck it, you own it"... 😀

Might just need more front camber?

I've been a subscriber since 80kish subscribers. Congratulation on the 600K subscriber milestone! Keep up the great work!

Isn’t this car in between the regular 911 Carerra and the GT3 and not in between the GT3 and the Turbo?

That extra 30 hp puts 4 car lengths in front of the S in the quarter mile!

Great review!

Porsche. There is no substitute.

"This is for someone who has $154,000." Soooooooo....I hate myself.

What’s a good price for one?

In no way is it an alternate GT3 haha, the GT3 is a much more visceral car!

Very interesting - I loved how you kept it relatively short and to the point, plus that you were able to give perspective on where the car could be improved.

I may be the only one but I prefer the GTS to the GT3. I would still take the Turbo S first then this would be my next choice over the GT3.
