Is it just me or does the GT3 look so much more aggressive than the Turbo?

Not just you. The Gt3 does look more aggressive than the turbo as intended.

I probably would have bought a GT3 if they weren't made of Unobtanium here in the US. I'll be loving my TTS for sure, but the best I could do regarding a GT3 was a used 2011.

Great videos, thanks very much.

Hey, isn't is possible for you in US to import one from Germany. There you get used cars in Top Condition! Germans and Cars...

Every Porsche in the US is 'imported from Germany'

And yes, they are still insanely expensive.




Nice videos - thanks for posting.

The moment you slap an ironing board to the back of a 911, it will look more aggressive than one without

My 997.2 RS looked a hell of a lot more aggressive than my Turbo but one was a track slag and the other was a stupidly fast GT. I loved the RS but on-road I felt like an extra from the Fast and the Furious

The Turbo has always been subtle but aggressive - like a black belt in a Saville Row suit. The GT3 and RS is the same guy wearing a t-shirt that says 'Golds Gym'.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the Germany input too! I got my 991 Turbo S and yes, it is more sublime... But, it still goes 93 at the time my 997 Turbo was going 78! It's so ridiculously fast that I thank them for making is seem not as aggressive! The cops think it's just another Porsche... ha ha....

The paddle shifting is something to get used to and the slower downshifting 'clicks' are something to also get used to! I first thought I didn't like her, but I finally realized that I could 'manage' or even 'control' my 996 and 997 Turbo's but this beast is SO FAST that it's a different breed! I finally realized I was almost scared of her, but I'll eventually get her under my 'thumb' ha ha....

Thanks,
Richard
