  • The 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (US$241,300/CAD$267,300 starting) takes no prisoners. By all accounts, its a road-legal race car. It makes more power than the regular GT3 and has been tarred and feathered in carbon fibre and aero. Thomas and James see how it performs on the road, and then take it to the Throttle House test track for a laptime. We hope you enjoy the episode. Subscribe!

    In the current top 10 fastest Nurburgring lap times.. there are 6 Porsche's.. FIVE of them are either the GT2 or GT3. The surgical level of engineering the people at Porsche deliver is just.. beyond overpowered !!

    • @ertugrulbae46
      @ertugrulbae46 Před 10 měsíci +100

      Porsche is fast around the Nurburgring. But Mercedes puts far more effort in the laptimes even more than Porsche.
      Then there's everyone else like BMW who do a practice lap, then a real lap...and that's it...even then its probs a 3rd party driver like the one who did the M5CS who's about 10s slower than everyone else.
      Meanwhile Mercedes runs around the green hell for 6-9 months + installs chassis mods, installs aero packages, semi slicks and has several runs. Each top end Mercedes car 'AMG GT Black series and also AMG-GT R' have atleast 2 record times from 2 different drivers. Porsche only has 1 official timed run record for each model. Clearly this shows Mercedes puts twice the effort. Being in F1..they clearly excel in track racing over other manufacturers and can carry over the expertise and teams etc
      If Porsche had the same commitment...the top 3 would all belong to Porsche and it would best even the AMG one, but absolutely kill the rival AMG models

      I think that this “track” that they have is not at all what the GT3 was designed for. Put both on the NBR and the new GT3 RS has a 10 second gap on the viper. And I mean this literally. 7:01 for the fiber and 6:49 for the GT3 RS.

      @@michaelb3576To use the Nurburgring is a terrible example. Porsche backed the testing of their own car, the GT3RS. Meaning they had a proper team, engineers, mechanics, and all the equipment for the car ready and available at the ring. Whilst the Viper attempt was a literal crowd funded effort by viper enthusiast. Even with the complications the team faced and only have one real working car they still managed a staggering 7:01 time. The drivers and the team said if the car definitely had more in her, enough to get under a 7 minute lap time. The ACR still holds 10-11 records, and again that’s all with a manual, RWD, and fixed aero and a huge N/A engine… and it’s been out of production for nearly 7 years now. It’d be pretty embarrassing for Porsche to have their 992 3RS not be quicker be a great margin, which honestly from what we’ve seen it’s not all that much quicker lol. ACR seems to be the king here especially if your an actual experienced car enthusiast 🤷‍♂️

It’s a legend for affordability and getting the most out of your cash. But my point is that this short circuit, which is mostly flat is just not at all what the GT3 RS was designed for. The aero and suspension are designed for longer more complicated tracks with changes in altitude. Just because you like something doesn’t mean that I don’t when I point out that this isn’t a great “track” for testing both cars capabilities. The GT3 RS won’t even create peak downforce to make DRS actually effective on this track. Their straight is nowhere near long enough.

      Big corporate motoring companies are more interested in reducing cylinder count, banning combustion (in the engine, not on the grid), installing remote kill switches (politically driven punishments), and taking away individual control of transport. That all takes a lot of time and resource that could otherwise be spent on designing nice sports cars that do things faster, harder, sharper.

    • @Shiny_Dragonite
      @Shiny_Dragonite Před 10 měsíci +5

      @ertugrulbae46 Thomas does a decent job of explaining how the diff and suspension work in plain English. Raising the strength of the diff on the acceleration side causes the rear end to jump out more and oversteer or slide coming out of corners, like the clip where he refers to the BMW as a hooligan (best visual I can think of from this video).
      As for spring rates on the suspension, if they're set too high, you get a much stiffer suspension and less grip on rough or bumpy surfaces but it reduces body roll and lets you keep a lower center of gravity. Lower spring rates give you more roll and a softer feel, but more grip on a bumpy surface since it keeps better contact with the road.
      Probably not the best job explaining those things, but hopefully it makes a bit more sense.
      In terms of Gran Turismo: higher spring rate is good for smooth racetracks, and lower is better for Sarthe or Nurburgring since those tracks are so uneven they can throw your car around.

    Insane lap time. Insane car. Any car that revs to 9k and has DRS is an absolute legend. Normally, I would say "no manual, no dice", but this is a bona fide track weapon that needs the PDK's lightning fast shifts that allow the driver to focus 100% on banging off fast laps!

      @@johncena-hq1ti hey, I'm all for a manual. All my sports cars are manual but in this case, I think if an individual wants the manual experience and doesn't care about lap times, just go buy the GT3. The RS is a track focused model, which is more geared toward the enthusiast who wants to extract the fastest lap times possible(for their skill level) so the PDK is the proper application. I mean, the 991 RS was PDK only so this should come as no surprise.

    I absolutely love Porsche 992s. I can’t remember the last time I loved a car this much that wasn’t from 80s or 90s. The GT3 RS is a bit much for my taste since I prefer the Touring Package, but this is still pretty cool in every way. Also, after going to multiple dealers in person and watching videos extensively on different versions of the 992 from actual owners (one having both the regular GT3 with manual and Touring with the PDK), they said the same about the manual. They almost say it begrudgingly or under their breath that the PDK system is better than the manual, but I know that’s a bit sacrilegious to some enthusiasts.
    Edit: After watching the whole video, I can’t remember if they said it, but you can switch what each of the gauges outside of the speedometer of what they say and do, even switch the position they’re in so that the most important ones are visible. My favorite, even though I would never track it, is the one visual that actually shows the G’s you’re pulling. And you already have the one in the center of the dash for lap times and such. Finally, even if you had the money, I doubt you’d actually find one below 300k, I’ve seen them sell even at 500k. Half a million is just so much, but I guess it’s worth it to some.
