@drola did an amazing video on his 3 996/7 GT3's. A 996.2 GT3, a 997.1 GT3 and a 997.1 GT3RS. Quickly becoming one of my favorite YouTubers showing us how to do stuff on our favorite cars as well as being a "normal guy" while doing it.

Thanks Boxstr. I made that video the day before the new owner of the RS picked it up
as it was going to be the last time I had all three in house at the same time.
Glad you enjoyed it

Yes I sold it. I'm happy with my red car. The only thing the RS did better than the 7/3 was in looks. And man was it beautiful.
But the price delta between the two was not worth it in my opinion.

I know this video has already been included in the first post but I have to mention it here, again. I love its amateurism and authenticity. And it is so refreshing to see the car driven by someone with fantastic driving abilities.

This is exactly how I feel about my 997 GT3. Good video describing the driving experience.

We can be so proud of our cars! I joined the club at the end of the 997 cycle. It was a custom order and my first Porsche. One smoky startup in the showroom was all it took to write a deposit check. No test drive!
