That is seriously quick! I thought the top speed was listed as 196mph?

 

Porsche is always very conservative. Maybe too conservative. But how is Porsche going to confirm the top speed? This guy had the ***** to mash the pedal for over 3 minutes to find out the truth. Easily one of the best (and fastest!) cars in the world.

 

You see Rob, that's why I ordered "Racing Yellow", it's the only coloured car with the extra option to go this fast. Hell, I thought you knew this.

 

I guess there's no proof a white one can go that fast. You got me there. lol

This guy had ***** to go that fast.

 

Why would you want to heel and toe on the Autobahn Rob? Serious question. Perhaps it would be a good idea to refresh your memory on why heel and toe is done. To put it briefly : it's done in order to prevent " upsetting " the balance of a car in turns.

And BTW,the 911 R with a manual transmission has a higher top speed than both the RS and GT3. And it has been tested on the Autobahn as well :

Fair point Nick. I need to watch his video. Thanks for posting!

BTW, I edited my previous post. I don't want to make this a PDK vs Manual debate thread, and clearly things could go there. And there would be no need to heel and toe. You rightly corrected me on that.

 

I hate to be a buzzkill, but there's usually a difference between he indicated speed and the actual speed. Like 3-5%. An indicated 210 is probably closer to 200 in actual speed. Pretty much all manufacturers do this. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong - I don't own a GT3 - but every car I've ever owned always shows a slight difference in indicated speed vs. actual speed (can easily be seen anytime you pass a radar station that shows your current speed).

 

In most Porsches,the difference between the indicated speed and your actual speed is 3 MPH. So,your actual speed is 3 MPH less than your indicated speed.

 

I didn't know this. Thanks.

 

The takeaways from this video are:

1. This guy has *****.
2. Things happen quickly at 200+ MPH.
3. I need to move to Germany.
4. There is nothing that sounds as good as a flat 6.
5. Porsche's numbers are really conservative.
6. The 991 GT3 isn't just a track weapon.
7. Racing Yellow may in fact be the fastest color.

 

Looks like I converted Rob.

 

Whatever bronson.

 

Awesome vid! Thanks for sharing.
