The Joy of Owning a Porsche 911 GT3 RS - A Detailed Review

As I sat behind the wheel of my brand new Porsche 911 GT3 RS, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and satisfaction. The moment I started driving, I knew that this car was going to be an absolute blast to own and drive. One of the things that struck me first was the button layout - everything is so much easier to access than it was in the 991s. Gone are the days of having to search high and low for a particular button or switch; now, with the modern design of the GT3 RS, everything is neatly organized and within easy reach.

I also have to mention how much I love the cup holder - it's really shallow, but that's actually kind of funny. The designers must have been joking when they added this feature as a joke, but in reality, it's proven to be quite useful. And speaking of useful features, I've found that having cup holders is essential for keeping my drinks within easy reach while driving. In the previous car I owned, which was an RS6, there wasn't really any thought put into ergonomics or comfort, but here in the GT3 RS, every detail has been carefully considered to make it a driver's car.

One of the features that really caught my attention is the "kick down" switch. When you press this button, the car automatically shifts down to the lowest gear, which sounds like a simple concept, but trust me, it's incredibly exhilarating to experience firsthand. The car just feels so alive and ready to go when you activate this feature - it's like having a nitrous shot for your driving experience! And that's not all - selecting drive modes is also made easy with this intuitive button layout.

Another aspect of the GT3 RS that I've fallen in love with is its analog gauge design. The combination of the two digital gauges and the analog speedometer is simply beautiful to look at, and it adds a touch of classic charm to the interior of the car. And let's not forget about the buttons - they're all so nicely laid out and easy to use, making driving feel almost intuitive.

One thing that I was initially disappointed by was the lack of cup holders in certain positions. In my previous car, there were two cup holders that were situated just where I needed them, but here in the GT3 RS, one of those has been deleted as a joke from the designers. While it's nice to have a shallow cup holder, having access to both sides of the seat would be an added bonus.

Another interesting feature of the GT3 RS is its exhaust system - and I mean that quite literally! The exhaust buttons are cleverly located on either side of the car, making it easy to adjust the tone of the exhaust without having to look around. And with the axles designed in such a way that they can be accessed easily, there's no need to hunt around for them.

The first time I started up my GT3 RS and took off, I was blown away by its acceleration - 0-60 mph in just two and a half seconds! It's not even close to the RS6's performance numbers. The car also feels incredibly firm and deep when it hits the brakes - it's like having a supercar on your hands.

One of the things that really stood out to me was how well the GT3 RS performs on gas mileage. With an estimated 13 miles per gallon in Audi, this thing drinks fuel like a thirsty horse! But when compared to its predecessor, the eight-speed PDK transmission is a revelation - it's so smooth and seamless.

In my recent experience with the car, I have had some minor issues that I'd like to point out. One of them is the lack of sunroof; while not necessarily a deal-breaker, it's certainly an option I would have preferred having. Also, there are some weird saltwater spots on the car - I have no idea what happened to those.

Last but not least, I should mention my plans for modding and customizing this car. I've already ordered a couple of parts that will give me some nice styling touches, including carbon fiber trim pieces with illuminated logos. These were inspired by another car's design and turned out to be quite stylish; now it's time to see how they'll look on mine.

In conclusion, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS has exceeded all my expectations - from its sleek design to its incredible performance capabilities, this car is truly a joy to own and drive. I have no doubt that it will be an integral part of many driving enthusiasts' garages for years to come.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enare you ready for this life it looks way better in real life than it did in photos i'm glad yeah i'm glad you think that and are you ready for a black car life first mod first official turbo s mod do you remember yes let's just let honestly the clear tail light is not that bad it definitely stood out a lot more in photos that it looked way more white clear but this like blends into the all black i think really nicely no more audi life which is very ironic with the situation of today i want to smell it i'm so happy i will say as a neon princess this looks a lot better in person than i thought it would like i actually like it which is surprising because i usually like a lot of color don't tell me i lost my turn key thing no no no so you step on the brake and you turn this to the right oh so the keys are just a sensor and then this is like an artificial key okay never mind this car looks so good i did not think i would like an all black on black card this much it looks mean and aggressive it's finally here are you excited can you please explain like with the ironic part of this entire situation with audi yeah the the gentleman that we sold the audi to gave us a ride here in the audi that we sold the day before this car came literally wire comes in wire goes out for the car because he's picking up another car here on the same day at the same time and the last time we were here we drove the audi and parked in the same spot it's just a whole weird but yeah everything happens for a reason it was great oh well and it was also ironic because he was already coming here today that's why he gave us a ride because he's signing for his turbo s yeah great oh i love the yellow accents it pops so much more in real life when you're building the car it didn't really look like you would notice it as much come on right off the rip these speakers like the gt3 just doesn't have bass and maybe it's a weight thing but oh my god already sitting in it i see what you mean by it's way more like dailyable there's so much space it's more loungy in here thank you thank you i'm so happy oh look oh they look so good together though hold up like the video with the yellow in here and then looking at that one so we didn't really talk about it but i was trying to convince colette to get a gt4 that one specifically right there test drove and everything this already feels right yeah when i first drove the audi it didn't feel right this feels right this is a meat car i really really like the black on black on black which originally that was a big uh discussion i was like no you gotta do chalk you gotta do chalk and went back and forth and this is this is it this is you it's missing something i also didn't realize how much more roomy this car would feel there's a lot of space and kind of functional backseat if you're like my size really for bags what i'm so happy that for once i have a crest on my hood the gt3 has a sticker and the sticker is cool because it's like race car dynamics but there's no way to shut the hood without getting fingerprints on it but now i have a badge to push oh yes sweet now your ocd won't go crazy with fingerprints everywhere oh i have a guy you should have seen oh true it is going to be harder to detail like the first time i shut the front on the gt3 rose i saw you cringe because i didn't like use my shirt and press down so i don't i don't shut that anymore i hate this i don't care if worst people love it the chrono thing in the middle of my dash i like playing and no because look now i have my stupid radar detector here i got to hardwire it chrono delete mod all right anymore oh my god an accent yes that was car crunch did you hear that was that top looking oh my god was it okay it sounded like it oh my god all right god it feels so smooth this is how a transmission is supposed to feel uh i'm so happy uh it sounds nice but it's going to sound better i know they kind of sound like vacuum cleaners you don't need to say in the comments vacuum cleaner yeah it's gotten the best sounding portion in the world but i'm just happy i'll say right off the rip uh breaking in these cars is a myth they break them in on the showroom floor and dudes that drive these cars for 3000 miles and never floor it man do i feel bad for you because that's like half the ownership that most of the people own these cars and they'll just baby them we'll floor it don't worry okay i can't wait to see your face when we launch this thing why you thought the audio was fine oh true i forgot about that what is the 0 to 60 in this two and a half seconds two eight something absurd i forgot about that i've never been in a car that launches as fast as this car will but you've never launched a turbo s before oh well i launched one of the previous gen ones but that was about the same as audi oh my gosh i forgot about that this looks like a u-car this is perfect look at my yellow seatbelts i know why does my forehead look so greasy i didn't need pizza today it does not i love it so uh with these porsches if you're not like a super porsche guy this ending of the video may not be of the most interest to you but porsche dudes geek out over their options they're always like oh you have the yellow seatbelt oh wow you have the fire extinguisher mod so what i thought i would do i made a print out so i can discuss kind of some of the options on the car and why i chose them um these 911 turbos people will spec to the moon i think uh it's i've seen a couple that have had upwards of seventy five thousand dollars in options this would be considered more on the base side because i have about thirty thousand dollars of option turbo s the biggest thing for me is that it comes with the carbon ceramics i know there's some other differences i'm not super familiar with them so i'm not gonna sound like an idiot but i'm gonna launch right into it the car is black i've never owned a black car before what is all this it's like salt deposits yo i wonder if that's from the water here i wonder if we need like a crazy filter thing oh we just found out something bad adam's getting sidetracked again okay um i have the deionizer but sean ran over one of the things so okay black i've never had a black card before um i just i want to live out my gangster dreams of having an all-black car that just i don't know it doesn't stand out this car's supposed to be daily and i really wanted my black rs6 savant so i could have my all black car this is gonna be my all black car so i'll end up tending the windows and putting on different wheels that are all black and yeah we'll do that so i'm just gonna go right down and explain all the things deviated stitching i was torn at first about possibly doing red interior but in some of the photos that i saw i looked kind of tacky on the 992s this is the newest generation obviously 992 comes after the 991 and you'll see the stitching is yellow i don't know all black interior wouldn't be cool to me but the yellow stitching just makes it look that much nicer um i just i love it i love that i did the orange stitching and i paid the extra on my gt3 is one of my favorite things i ever did it was a must on this i always love the colored seat belts too to kind of tie everything together ties it in with the breaks and it breaks it up a little bit in retrospect seeing some of the cards with red interior um i think it would have looked cool but i'm really happy with my choice and it's like perfect i usually am not a black interior fan but i like it next thing sunroof you guys probably the biggest thing that i think anyone would think about this spec including myself is why the didn't you do the carbon roof because you can do a carbon roof and it's like practically the same price as this giant electric slide sunroof the reason being because this car's my daily my logic is well i'm going to have one of those roof boxes on the car pretty much at all times and you cannot run the roof rack with those carbon roofs you can do the sea sucker thing but those are sketchy and i've heard some horror stories about them especially with carbon roofs so i got this because i can use the factory porsche roof bars and then have my big black roof carrier on here i can throw all my luggage and groceries and stuff since the frunk on these is kind of small which i'll show you i think it's about the same size as the one on my gt3 maybe a little bit bigger maybe a little bit smaller i don't know but can fit like a couple backpacks in here but not much we went to the grocery store earlier and couldn't really fit too much but anyway walking around the car i did do the carbon fiber mirror covers they look sick i'm really pumped on how these mirrors look what's cool is on the other side compared to the 991s the carbon actually goes all the way down instead of just being a half cap i also did painted side skirts these would normally be i think kind of like a like a satin plasticy looking black it just looks nice and it was one of the things that i really liked about porsche's aero kit which is another option that i was like kind of wavering on the arrow kit basically painted the side skirt it had a little different valance on the bumper here that kind of came up that i really didn't like it looks out of place was kind of cool because it had a little bit more aggressive front bumper wasn't even crazy about that but i hated it had these weird little winglets when the wing is down they look stupid because the wing has like these things that look awkward here but what i didn't realize is those are actually built into the lower wing so that way when this wing goes up it forms like a almost like a kooky style wing and it looks so cool that i'm i've i keep looking to see if i can just buy the arrow kit trunk because i kind of regret not doing that um well i'm back here too these little slats come from porsche painted gray i opted to have them painted silver oh sorry ice was stupid sometimes i opted to paint them black because i thought it looks better than silver pretty much you know just murdered out everything that i could i thought about deleting the 911 turbo badge because it looks pretty cool when you can't tell anything in back but i decided to leave it and just have it painted black by porsche yeah another thing that i was kind of on the fence about was these clear tail lights and i didn't understand the photos that i was looking at and i thought that the red ones were actually the clear ones because this is like cool light bar thing so i got the clears saw photos of it decided i hated it ordered the red tail lights online because i regretted my decision then saw it in person i think i kind of like them um when mike is saying he loves him you can't hear him because he doesn't have a live mic he keeps talking behind the camera so um yeah so normally on like the the 991s you wouldn't have this bar and when it was just these two taillights they look super ricey and almost like ebay tails i think the center bar kind of ties it together a bit more and i'm happy with them for now we'll see if i end up changing my mind while we're in the back of the car i did the sport exhaust i'm gonna end up changing the exhaust anyway but i liked the two big tips as opposed to like the two dual tips um and the only way to get that is with a factory sport porsche exhaust which also a lot of the dudes that buy these cars look for when they end up buying them used so i thought that might help resale and then i get the cool bumper anyway i did opt to have it uh with the port is it porsche active suspension management basically it's lowered from porsche i did confirm that it does change the dampers a little bit it's not like it just has a lowering spring i do plan on doing lowering spring so my logic was if i get a car that's already a little bit lower from the factory from porsche when i lower it the shocks will be a little bit better set up to handle being even lower another thing while we're talking about suspension one of the coolest things about 911s when you lower them especially on the gt3 which sits down really low they have what's called the front axle lift i don't know if it's gonna work right now but you click the button i think i need to start the car i click the button and the front goes up so i can do wheelies and then when i have to go into starbucks parking lot which has a very big incline uh it doesn't matter because i will never scrape my bumper oh i think it's making me close my door to lower it look you can still hear me because i have a lab how cool is that we are low now close the now we out okay uh it's got the fancy porsche headlights that change the housings to black has that cool little logo in there remember that scene in the fast and furious where where they're like in tokyo drift and he like quotes he's got 575 horsepower and a borla exhaust and their dude's like cool you can read the brochure that's literally what i'm doing right now i like i could tell you from memory but it would like take me so long and i'm trying to make these clips like pretty continuous so i'm using this as my notes to jog my brain there's a lot of tech options for this car that you could do between like parking sensors and cameras and adaptive cruise control and all this stuff i don't like any of that stuff i feel like it makes you lazy as a driver the only stuff i did was what is called porsche surround view which basically has the camera so you get like a little overhead view has like good sensors for like parking and stuff so i don't hit things because that's never fun i do the ambient lighting which lets you uh put like a color in here i think it's kind of hard to tell now maybe it's not on yeah maybe i'll close my door but it like you can change the colors inside the interior i really like that with the rs6 yeah you can kind of see through the windows it's kind of like little blue yeah i have it set with blue and then it goes off sorry but that's one thing that i did and then i did ventilated seats because we live in florida and it's a black car and the seats get really hot i could have done porsche carbon ceramic no sorry i am so dumb right now i could have done the porsche carbon buckets which is sick they do those you could do the rear seat delete and basically make it a mini gt3 but since i've been having a lot of back pain getting in and out of cars has been really hard for me it sounds really dumb i know i need to get my back fixed but these seats are extremely comfortable they're ventilated i think they look good with the yellow stitching they don't look too plain backseat pretty much useless i've been throwing things on it but uh it's cooler i think than having a rear seat delete because if i do ever want to throw someone in back like it it's technically legal i don't know if it's nice for the passenger but um that's a thing i did the storage package which is just net in the front seat belts are in yellow because i'm a racer i do the fire extinguisher because hopefully this car won't catch on fire but there's a chance that maybe one of my other cars that's driving with it or one of my friends cars will catch on fire so then i'm prepared which happened once my evo almost caught on fire on the side of the road i think shulman was driving the gt3 i ran up to the gt3 and got the fire extinguisher out of it and almost had to put my evo out so fire extinguisher in like all the cars a little torn about the steering wheel i love the matte carbon fiber i knew that i wanted to do that i was torn about doing alcantara in my daily just because a lot of times my hands will be dirty i like it i love it right now i'm gonna be honest i'm not super happy with the quality of this one compared to my gt3 there's a little nub on it that's been driving me nuts you're not gonna be able to see it on camera like it took me like an hour just to even get on photo but it's like this little spiky nub and there's one thread that's coming loose um porsche is really good about these cars and i'm hoping that they'll like give me another wheel or something but i'm also kind of on the fence and almost wish i just got like a perforated leather one even though it's not as bougie i would just be way less anal about always having my hands clean um but it just feels really nice to make it look like a race car so that's cool um other than that i got this in alcantara which is neat i love the porsche crest i had that added on there i did the footrest in aluminum just something i've always done and i say i've always done but i've only only heard one porsche before but it makes the car feel like a lot nicer and this right here i hate how these speakers look the burr master burmister i don't even know how to say it i have no idea about the company it's supposed to be a good company with speakers i will tell you i was blown the away more than anything else about this car by the speakers they are the best speakers i've ever had in any car ever that i get excited to listen to music in this car and we'll actually i mean right now it doesn't sound that good anyway but i will choose to listen to the music over hearing exhaust noise which is like huge for me because i'll normally have the music down low and i kind of head out the window so i can hear my turbo but in this car i'm just pumped to just listen to my music because every song that i listen to in this car sounds ten times better than i've ever heard it before mike hasn't heard the music in this car yet so now he's probably want me to show him so we'll take a quick break so i can show him the music in here okay another couple impressions and stuff that i really like about this car i've pretty much told you all the options that i've chosen at this point this looks like an electric shaver porsche i don't know what the you're doing here but everything else i really like like the button layout here everything's a lot easier to access than it was in the 991s the exhaust buttons here axles here before you had to kind of like look for it and it was just weird um cup holder looks really shallow guys your mind is going to be blown because we could probably do a two and a half seconds zero to sixty not even spilled ring it like has the firmest grab and like it's super deep and even though it doesn't look it what's funny is they give me a cup holder delete like as a joke with the car i was like never buying a car from you again just kidding they're really nice um but yeah so uh cup holder great second cup holders up here um cup holder i kind of wish the second coupler was here because in the other car used to always like monitor to make sure it's in spill but i like that it's closer to me here this is sick this button right here um i feel like you need to make like a driving one rather than just talking about it you press this button and it automatically like goes to the lowest gear which sounds dumb right it's like a kick down switch but pressing the button is so fun it's like it's like a nitrous button you press it and the car just like downshifts and it's just like and it's just like ready to go it's sick and then that's how you select your drive modes they did a fantastic job with the layout i love the analog gauge with the two digital gauges all the buttons everything has just been so natural moving from the previous gt3 to the next generation 911 um i've been so happy with this car the rs6 instantly had a bunch of stuff that i hated about it this car porsche knocked it out of the water with and i think that's why one of the things i didn't mention before is there's an insane weight for these cars and they're selling at a ridiculous amount over sticker luckily i got a fantastic deal on this car but people that are ordering them now aren't even getting their cars until mid next year so i lucked out mega with this car especially getting as soon as i did i actually got an allocation off one of my friends and i'm appreciative that uh i was able to score this car but it's something else it's special i don't plan on making a ton of content with this car it's kind of just one of those cars for me obviously we're gonna do some mods to it and it'll be in a couple of videos but don't expect this to be like the new theme of the channel for lack of a better word um but yeah man i hate the sunroofs mad about this it goes back and stuff but it's going to be sick when i get my roof rack and it's like all murdered out and i look like a gangster would be worth it gas mileage is fantastic too i got like 13 miles to the gallon with audi get like 20 in this eight speed pdk what more could i ask for i have no idea this car is sick oh one other thing that i was gonna change mike meet me over here i uh i actually already ordered these god look at those salt water spots what the heck with some weird stuff going on with that these i opted not to do the mac carbon fiber with like with illuminated logo and i saw it on another car and it looked so freaking rad that i ended up ordering them so i'll pop those in probably in the next video that we make on this thing um rather than that yeah she's sick got a couple little mods ordered a couple of things playing lying around i'm sure you guys can guess some of them but overall this is my baby and i hope you guys enjoy this video i know a lot of you kind of guessed that this was coming because i just kept talking and talking about how badly i wanted one of these so uh i hope you're you're as excited as i am because it's rad even though i won't be making a lot of content with i hope you're so excited for me and not mad because i know it sounds like a lot right on top of the compound and it is a lot and i almost failed but i decided not to bail and i was really stressed in because my rs6 almost didn't sell and then i sold it literally like the day before i needed to to go buy this and then ironically like i said in the video before he ended up going to the dealer the same day so i got a ride from him when i went to go pick up my new car and it's kind of weird because i was riding my old car that i didn't know anymore to go pick up my new car and i got it and here we are thank you for watching shoot you\n"
