I had a 993RS about 25 years ago, proper car🤩

the ev is not the solution to cars. banning cars is the solution to cars. 50 years ago but better late than never. may is another gutless wind bag too afraid or too ignorant to state the obvious.

I have a much loved 993RS Touring. Fab car. It’s everything Steve says.

great video and very great reviewer this is now my best channel

I'm hoping it's still processing but it's disappointing to see this limited to CZcams's very low bitrate "720p." I'm not sure if this was a time crunch or a pipeline issue or what, but I would bet my left nut that this was shot in 4k. Steve's great and the visuals are beautiful even blurred to hell.

I drive a 996.2 GT3. Maybe a bit of both of these worlds. Strongly underrated

No, the 991.2 GT3 RS is probably the best all rounder. The 992 GT3 RS is a pointless technical exercise. The two best are the 997 GT3 RS 4L and the 991.2 GT3 RS. The truth is the oilers weren't very good. Basically the engine has been the same since the 991.2 GT3 with very minor changes - thus the engine in the 992 GT3 RS doesn't really add anything and the aero is irrelevant at road speeds. I personally thought the 992 GT3 RS was a waste of time and bought a 296 GTB instead and kept the 991.2 GT3 RS. I know its pub bore heresy land, but I don't like the oilers much - very over rated cars.

Exactly! PDK novelty wears off and true enthusiast will be longing for a manual.

When Automobiles 1st came out people said the same thing about Automobiles vs Horses . Early automobile owners had many similar issues that today's EV's have until a certain man decided to stream line their manufacturing making them affordable to all and here we are today.

Intercooler grabbing Steve (or having Steve feature in a few videos) is a great move.

One is immensely capable the other is true manual and more involving. Would take the 993 anytime.

There is not even one second you hadn't have a smile on your face when u are in the 993! 992 well perhaps half is the time 😅

Rose tinted glasses. Except for its sheer size, the new car is the best. What the story with all the sped up footage? Is this an American Toyota commercial?

I wish all manufacturers would listen to Steve. And make all new cars “More Engaging”!

Modern cars are great but they’re just too fast. Give me a late 90s early 00s manual classic all day long.

I’d take the 993 RS for streets and hills, and a Radical for the tracks.

As even mid-price SUVs can crack 0-60 in 4 seconds or less, I seriously wonder when "enough" will be enough. The average muppet driver maybe ... shouldn't even be trusted with something that has 1000 bhp and will hit 200! And while we are all suckers for "more", as we watch market competitors like BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi launch new cars within 1 or 2 bhp of each other ... and we can get addicted to YT channels where Teslas drag race Ioniq 5s ... have we lost the plot? The human driving a GT3 RS across quiet roads early in the morning .... can't compute/ isn't interested in pure numbers, but only how the machine they're in FEELS. And make them feel. Great piece, Mr Steve. Thank you. I'd have the 993 any day.

The modern 911 is an engineering marvel for those that never really learned how to drive without electronic "nannies" to make them feel like a hero.

2 dream cars, stunning!

How do I subscribe to everything Steve Sutcliffe?

993 RS in white, please.

Great vid! Well written. Two thumbs way up.

why are new cars so much bigger? there's no reason why they need to be so big. they get heavier and bigger for no real good reason.

Only if I had the coin for either of these. Both are versions of the same thing, one is just the evolution with all the tech, aero, safety etc to go with it.

I've never seen video quality of 720p but 50 fps

Like the 993 im from ‘95 and I really cannot get behind the current GT3 RS. I love that it’s a technical work of art but I’d take that 993 every single day of the week and twice on Sunday. But I’d be even happier in an RS 4.0

I'll take the 993

I wish Porsche would listen to people like Steve. Cars would be much better. The 993 is an epitome of design and practicality. Second comes the 997s, than the 991. That's it. 992 sucks!

The new ones are just for those so call collectors who cannot find ways to spend money while the world got disordered

I always find Steve's vocal can be louder

I’m surprised no one has mentioned a comparison between the new 992 ST and the 993 RS, with the ST it’s back to the original ethos of the early RS cars, lightweight, strong engine with a precise gearbox and shifter. In my opinion Porsche nailed it with the ST, the drive is sublime yet the car is modern, between 7-9k the sound is just incredible and you notice the weight reduction in a similar way to a 993 C2 versus the RS.

4.0 in the Spyder RS is a different engine from the GTS. Offering manual would mean a lot of new work that wasn't done for the Cayman RS.

The fat car or the sports car.

Yep 993 all day long 👍

You need both.

I'll take the better looking 993

If I was lucky enough to be buying a GT product it’d be a GT3 in Touring guise. The RS is “too much” & ludicrous looking for a road car & I’d feel a bit of a tool driving it.

We love you Steve

Probably showing my age too but I prefer the current GT3 to the RS. Just a bit too OTT for me

Great vid. Fit the welded in M003 clubsport cage into the 993 and the car drives twice fast and twice as good again … i did this and drove it all over Europe for 8 years, sublime.

Steve can you review the Spyder RS without getting involved with the roof. If Porsche GB don’t give you the press car you can use mine.

3:33 jump scare in the best possible way

Such a pleasure to hear a man who can properly peddle who doesn't sound like a twat. Ace

Don't forget the 997 GT3 RS.....! Possibly the perfect compromise between these two, and therefore even better than both?

Porsche has to change the clickers. Feels like a Nintendo. Please be a bit professional , you spend millions on development and r&d, and you destroy it all with 2 bit game console clickers Not very racy, not a track feel. They have to be mechanical and lose the loud clicking. You're not driving it with a mouse for god's sake .

Both those cars are very special because of what they are - If you ignore that and go just on the behind the wheel feel, steering, precision, real world pace and feeling of involvement then the manual Cayman R or 987.2 Spyder (similar in weight and power to the 993 RS) offer something that touches on some of the greatness Steve mentions for a price (c£45k) that means those experiences he describes are reachable for many

These reviews of the ‘top end’ RS - old and new, are well and good, but what I’d love to see are reviews of the ‘bottom end’ in the Porsche ranges - e.g. early/original entry-level Boxster/Cayman compared to latest entry-level Boxster/Cayman. And early/original entry-level 911 compared to latest entry-level 911

What’s the 993 RS worth ? The one driven here Just saw to the end of the video. My bad

Steve sutcliffe car review.... say no more I'm watching

Yay, more Steve! Just buckling in and getting ready for an epic video (as always 😊 )
