The ride is not as harsh as the 997\u2019s; it has a pleasant mildness to it.<\/p>\n<p>And that mildness is wonderful.<br \/>\nIt doesn\u2019t mean the performance is lacking; rather, the softer suspension contributes to a comfortable ride. When driving on winding roads, you can clearly feel how the load is shifting on the car through body roll. It\u2019s like having a conversation with the car itself.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-32586\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DSC05422-1280x853.jpeg\" alt=\"Driving Porsche 911 GT3 (996)\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32593\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32593\" class=\"size-large wp-image-32593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DSC02870-1280x853.jpeg\" alt=\"Porsche 911 GT3 (996)\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-32593\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An extremely rare example equipped with PCCB<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The handling is impeccable.<br \/>\nWhile the latest 992 GT3 lets anyone drive fast, the 996 GT3 cannot be mastered by simply turning the wheel. Its behavior changes dramatically depending on whether you\u2019re on the throttle, off it, or braking. This is the true essence of the Porsche 911\u2019s RR (rear-engine, rear-drive) layout.<\/p>\n<p>When accelerating hard, it even feels like the front is light and floating.<\/p>\n<p>Then, when you lift off the throttle, a heavy load shifts to the front, and the way the car turns while on the throttle versus off the throttle is completely different. The <strong>divine sharpness when lifting off the throttle is truly breathtaking<\/strong>. It\u2019s genuinely exhilarating.<\/p>\n<p>The thrill when the driver\u2019s intent perfectly matches the car\u2019s behavior is beyond words.<br \/>\nThe 996 GT3 is arguably the most enjoyable model for drivers who understand weight transfer.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32597\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32597\" class=\"size-large wp-image-32597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DSC02882-1280x853.jpeg\" alt=\"Porsche 911 GT3 (996) instrument panel\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-32597\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A pristine example with a miraculous 5,000 km mileage<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Light_and_Nimble_Handling\"><\/span>Light and Nimble Handling<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The handling of the 996 GT3 is incredibly nimble. The car weighs about 1,380 kg, but it feels even lighter than that. My own 718 Cayman T is quite nimble, but this feels even more so.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to the latest 991 and 992 GT3s, there is a clear difference in driving dynamics. The newest GT3s feel very stable and predictable, but the 996 GT3 depends on the driver\u2019s skill. Poor driving can lead to spins or accidents, but if you handle it well, it\u2019s perfect. The lightweight nature directly translates to driving enjoyment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If today\u2019s GT3 is like a regular car, the 996 GT3 is more like a Mazda Roadster.<\/strong><br \/>\nThat\u2019s how big the difference feels. This era\u2019s GT3 might just be the true form a GT3 should take.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-32585\" style=\"font-size: 14px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DSC05427-1280x853.jpeg\" alt=\"Driving Porsche 911 GT3 (996)\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-32594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DSC02874-1280x853.jpeg\" alt=\"Porsche 911 GT3 (996)\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-32596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DSC02873-1280x853.jpeg\" alt=\"Porsche 911 GT3 (996) rear wing\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Powerful_Engine\"><\/span>Powerful Engine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The late-model 996 GT3 I tested is equipped with a 3.6-liter engine producing a maximum output of 381 hp and 39.3 kgm of torque. This is a 21 hp increase over the previous early 996 GT3. Through weight reduction of the valves and improved piston pin materials, the engine is tuned for high-revving performance.<\/p>\n<p>The power output is almost the same as the latest 992 Carrera\u2019s 381 hp, but in actual driving, the 992 Carrera feels faster. However, the acceleration feel at high revs is superior in the 996 GT3. Thanks to its lightweight body, there are moments when it feels quicker.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32600\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32600\" class=\"size-large wp-image-32600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_0629-1280x960.jpeg\" alt=\"Porsche 911 GT3 (996) engine\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-32600\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The so-called \u201cMetzger engine\u201d with a GT1 crankcase<\/p><\/div>\n<p>On Japan\u2019s mountain passes and winding roads, the usable horsepower limit is around 400 hp. My 991 Carrera 4 GTS has 430 hp, but there are times when it\u2019s too much to fully utilize. In that sense, <strong>the 381 hp of the 996 GT3 is just right.<\/strong> It\u2019s a lot of fun to rev it hard in 2nd or 3rd gear on the mountain roads. This is one of the charms of the old GT3.<\/p>\n<p>The engine feel is superb. It revs smoothly and cleanly all the way to the redline. At idle, it sounds rough and rattly, but as the revs climb, a metallic \u201ccone!\u201d-like high-pitched sound resonates. It\u2019s truly a racing engine.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, many people have been nostalgic for naturally aspirated engines, and now that turbos dominate, I highly recommend trying an old NA 911. Especially this 996 GT3. The <strong>engine, which appeals directly to human senses before strict environmental regulations,<\/strong> has a charm that modern NA engines can\u2019t match. If you have any lingering attachment to NA engines, this is a must-drive.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-32590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DSC02859-1280x853.jpeg\" alt=\"Porsche 911 GT3 (996) cockpit\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-32584\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_0801-1280x853.jpeg\" alt=\"Porsche 911 GT3 (996)\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary\"><\/span>Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The late-model 996 GT3 was <strong>already a top contender for this year\u2019s Test Drive of the Year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Its direct handling feel is unique. It corners aggressively when you apply load, but if the driver doesn\u2019t understand weight transfer, it won\u2019t turn well. When the driver inputs correctly, the car responds with exceptional fun.<\/p>\n<p>The lightweight body is another major appeal of this model. Compared to the heavier current models, its agility is completely different. The narrow body also contributes to its nimble movements.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-32583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_0802-1280x853.jpeg\" alt=\"Porsche 911 GT3 (996)\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And the naturally aspirated flat-six engine that revs all the way to 8,200 rpm.
