The Porsche 992 GT3 RS is Porsche's most extreme roadgoing car ever. Able to run a sub-7 minute lap of the Nurburgring with only 518 horsepower, it's a monument to racing technology in a street legal package. But does it work as an actual street car? In order to find out, Matt and Zack drive it in the worst case scenario (for California): a freezing rain.
Porsche provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review.
Check out our Track Test of the 992 GT3 RS!

    You can mess with the shocks all you want and it won't make any difference because it's the springs that are stiff. And they have to be, when a car has proper aero that produces downforce and not just negates lift, you need to have the spring rate to support the extra weight being generated from that or else you're gonna be at the bump stops at high speed which is a big no no. This car is not meant to be a grand tourer, it is designed around aero performance which of course is gonna compromise it on the street, it doesn't compare to the 750S, the turbo S would be a more appropriate comparison.

    As a subscriber I try to watch all your videos, and I love this car. However, I find the premise of this video silly, at least. To me, evaluating it as a daily driver would be like the professional pianist who bought a 9ft. concert grand piano because of the magnificent sound, tonality, build quality, etc. Then, was dismayed because it wasn't as easy to transport and set up at his gigs playing in a rock band. Surely you can't believe someone with the $$ to by this GT3-RS would be unaware he wouldn't be able to use it to run down to Home Depot to pick up a sheet of plywood or glide over bumps like his Lexus.

    Downforce is proportional to velocity squared...........you don't get 50% of the down force at 50% of the velocity. Thats the problem with this RS, you really only get a material benefit around certain styles of high speed circuit. The 991.2 GT3 RS is the better all round car (1) its within a bees dick of the 992 GT3 RS round most tracks (literally the difference in tires will be the time difference) (2) it still retains a functional frunk an essential for weekend track day warriors (3) you genuinely can use it as a daily. The 992 GT3 RS is probably the first RS that doesn't really make sense. If you want a track car, get a genuine track car e.g. GT3 Cup. From a functional perspective the "power train" has been the same with very minor changes and mapping since the 991.2 GT3 , since then they all rev to 9000 RPM, with variations in gearing compensating for tire diameter. Also, the spring rates are huge on the 992 GT3 RS, even with improved wheel rate (slightly - due to front double wishbone) you can only compensate with valve tuning to a small degree - nice to have for sure, but if you have killer spring rates for glass smooth tracks, you can't dial that out. In regard to AP, I think his take is wrong unless he's focussed on a niche within a niche and I say that having done 5 seasons of Cup. The great strength of the RS was you could take it to the track on a weekend with all your track gear safely stowed in the frunk and in nets off the roll cage - now you need a second vehicle - which means, buy a track car instead. The bottom line is, I largely agree with your conclusions its a very small niche product thats lost its raison d'etre, so much so I gave up my allocation, bought a Nero 296 GTB and kept my 991.2 GT3 RS.

    If you guys end up wondering on the podcast why this video isn't getting views, I can honestly say it's because it's just not that compelling. Sorry for the scathing critique, I generally really enjoy you guys' videos. The algorithm seems to reward when people watch the entirety of the video (among other things obviously). I got about halfway through and couldn't figure out the point of the video and started skipping through-very few new or interesting takeaways, and you guys were kinda talking past each other. Dynamic felt a bit weird. Glad you guys got to try the GT3RS on the street though!
