Not really a super factual review. But entertaining to see a .2 GT3 driven by Richard Hammond against an Aston Martin V12 Vantage driven by James May on Top Gear. Section for this comparison happens between 1:02:30 and 1:11:00.

You can click the Facebook icon to go to the site thus allowing you to see it full screen and change the video quality to HD. However, the audio and video are out of sync slightly. Better than nothing. Enjoy!

I already reached out to him and volunteered my 997.2 non-RS and he's coming out the weekend after Thanksgiving. If anyone wants their car to be part of it I will connect you. I guess what he would need is a .1 or .2 RS.

Stumbled across this Porsche RS group test consisting of every NA Porsche RS car up till 991.1 as the video was made in 2015. I watched this when it came out and forgot about it. Video is unfortunately in Dutch, but there are English subtitles. Thought you guys might enjoy this.

That’s my 997.2 GT3 4.2 in the video. I got to drive the GT2. It was a fun day.

I thought the GT3 looked familiar. Your build is to die for. Totally awesome!
