I'll post my opinion of #3 tomorrow.
Ha yes that one is good. You like it for the closing hill climb scene!

Plus good to see that EVO still does great vids post Harris

Precisely. That first person view at the end was awesome, it reminded me of canyon runs I have done and gave me context that other videos haven't.

Dan (notes even Harris called his video a smash and grab effort)

I still expect there to be a Top Gear review now that Hamster can drive his car.

Whilst we all wait, here's another look at a vid of my pal going around Barber in his 991 GT3 a few months ago.

Wow, great vid, what a knife fight, your bud kept a better line and hit the apex behind whoever was in front to close gaps very well.

Thanks for sharing that!

This is a tough call because both of these were about driving the car and the resulting feelings. One was a pro shoot by an ex-race car driver who gives honest thoughts about this being the best sports car he's ever driven. The other is an amateur who goes out of his way to test Porsches because he honestly loves them. His frustration not having access to a 911 Turbo S a while ago was very....dorky. But, he's back and Porsche saw fit to let him test drive a GT3 out of the factory.

While, neither compare a number of spectacular cars and explain so well why the GT3 is unbeatable after ticking off great cars and explaining why each was beaten by best car "twenty thirteen" followed by what was these best 1st person mountain climb view and, in my opinion, the best 991 GT3 review, these two reviews were extraordinary for their heart.

GT3 review #4:



And, breaking the English accent trend, following EVO and Chris Harris, third best GT3 review:



Dan (flip flopped opinion and cheers the under dog amateur beating the pro review)

Ariel Atom vs 991 GT3

Ok, ok .. I know it's not a fair comparison, in my defense it's not my video, just a youtube find. I found it quite interesting just how much straightline acceleration the black 991 GT3 demonstrates in this video.

My car can't get here soon enough!

This Sunday, having incessantly been told the GT3 is really a GTS-R while knowing all 911s are part cup car and part original 911, I post today's video.



Dan (is glad there is 991 GT3 Cup performance DNA and the curves of Gmund in our GT3)
