A Long-Awaited Drive in the GT3 The other day, I drove the 911 GT3 (MT) for the first time in three months. I only drove it for about 20 minutes to swap it with another car in the parking lot, but it was great to feel the GT3 again after such a long break. Our GT3 is a 991 late model GT3 Touring. The clutch on this GT3 is surprisingly light compared to the 981...

Convertibles I’ve heard that “compared to Europe and the U.S., the percentage of people choosing the Cabriolet model among the 911 lineup in Japan is very low.” For Porsche, the split between coupe and Cabriolet is almost even in Europe and the U.S., but in Japan, it’s reportedly only about 10%. Indeed, it’s rare to spot convertibles on Japanese streets. Before, when I saw someone driving a convertible, I sometimes looked at them a bit...

About Porsche My spouse and I know many people who drive Porsches and have had quite a few opportunities to test drive at dealerships, so I think we’ve driven more Porsches than the average person. Still, we obviously haven’t driven every model, so there’s a lot we don’t know or understand about Porsche. Among the many comments we receive from Porsche owners on the blog, it’s always enlightening to read things like, “Ah, so that’s...

He was going to pick us up by car from home. That...
