Default Porsche ****

if you don't enjoy this, you're not a car enthusiast.

no turbos.
no back seat.
no steering wheel buttons.
4L and over 500HP

wait but aren't you, bitkahuna, supposed to dislike this since it does nothing to advance the electric powertrains of the future?

i agree this is proper dream car stuff, the porsche flat 6 sounds amazing when it revs up, and delivers the power in such a lovely linear fashion

Sounds awesome!!!!!

.....but I would never EVER buy a Porsche with PDK. I love the direct connection of a manual gearbox in a sporty car.

i think you're confusing me with someone else.

i don't buy into any 'proper' nonsense, because speaking of electrics, i guarantee the taycan is every bit as visceral a thrill without all the noise. not the same, definitely different, but no doubt thrilling and amazing too.

but anyway, not here to debate electric vs. ICE cars... i love the GT3 because it's very pure and yet daily driveable.

i would never EVER want a car with 500hp that has a manual.

a Boxster, Cayman, maybe, a Miata or 86, heck yeah.

but a stick in a rocket car is quickly just a drag... hard to modulate low speed, and you won't get all out of the engine with a stick.

Had one with 350hp and one with 400hp ---zero issues --- and I loved it...much more engaging. I guess if you're gonna sit in traffic daily, no...but I don't think this would be a DD.

Nice video. It's a fun track oriented car that can be driven on the street. Sound and steering are amazing.

A friend and his wife have a GT3RS and GT3 as their daily drivers
