Thanks!

What will they say when the MT is out? R will always be a collector car.

Great review. Thanks. Maybe we can consolidate this to the 991.2 GT3 review thread though?

Weird that he's comparing a PDK .2 to an R. It does sound great though...

Hilarious ending, with brutal honesty.

Interesting to note, however... are reviewers becoming just as political and contrived as Porsche Corporate?

I mean, to end on such a strong statement... then of course, pull it back a little bit after a bit of contemplation. Don't want to piss off the elite P-car buyer, so we?

If Porsche ever gets out of the car business, they should go into the business of making leashes.

someone please sell me their R for sticker if this video bothers you :)

I really liked Jethro's videos. Good driver and always honest!

Dr.Bill 05-09-2017 02:16 PM

Of course it's better.
The newer ones always are.

I predict the next one will be even better.

Yes, if the buyer was buying it intending to add to a collection, but if he were buying it to experience the highest evolution of a NA engine on a 911 with a manual, then that idea just went bust. And even as a collector's car, the value probably just went down at least 30% if not more, don't you think?

^Agree.

Unless every Porsche with a plaque is a Collector's car. But Congrats to those that flipped their cars for some good $$$. It would of been too tempting if I owned one not to flip it and buy a .2 GT3 Manual, a GT4, and a .1 RS.

Jethro just confirmed all that I wanted to learn. That was a great review he did. Best one to date on the .2 GT3. He certainly did not hold back.

To me, the R was Porsche's response to the popularity of the Singer... the R was a "more attainable, more capable" Singer, and now the .2 3 a "more attainable, more capable" R...

but at 500k.. I'd have gone Singer... like some may have gone R over the .2 3 if money didn't matter.

Im a small fish, new to the game, and couldn't be happier with my .2 allocation! :jumper:

Jethro just may have edged Harris out as my fav. He just released a video on his personal 911 that was very well done.

NateOZ 05-09-2017 03:40 PM

I don't have an R and have a .2 GT3 incoming - but IMO calling this a review is a stretch. It was more like watching a PAG marketing video.

Honest view that the .2 GT3 in manual is better than the R because it gives you more of those moments, yet he hasn't driven it?

surfer 05-09-2017 03:44 PM

Good review. Love Jethro.

What a shock the new car that will be built in volume reviews well over the older car.

And oddly enough I can't remember any criticism of this 'artificial agility' in the R when all the reviewers, bovingdon included were mooning over it last year.....
