Default New vid on 997.1 GT3 PistonHeads

Premise is 997 GT3 and 992 C2S are the same price (makes 997 seem like a bargain for driving experience value) so how do they compare, you can guess how this goes

Enjoyed it. Thanks. As time passes it becomes more evident the 997 GT are a bygone Porsche era and cars to be treasured by car enthusiasts.

FWIW, I watch and follow a lot of Dan's videos, podcasts, & reviews and this is about as excited/animated as he gets, knowing his demeanor he really loved the GT3.

I still do not forgive him for saying the Golf R is better with a dual-clutch, but more 997 GT love and I may start to 'partially' forgive him.

that was enjoyable to watch ,... and yes Seis-speed, at the end he could have made it a little more clear a synopsis of why, for the money spent, the GT3 was a clear winner.
I mean he DID do that throughout the video review,.... but it seemed a bit rushed at the end.

Besides the pricing, it's a bit more fair to compare 997 GT3 with 992 GT3. Note sure the result would be significantly different but the gap would not be as wide. A 992S is very very far from a 997 GT3.

I think it was more the power similarities and performance times in addition to the pricing, is why they were the best comparison.

I agree in that I think they should do a 992 GT3 vs 997 GT3 next!
