This 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 is the former Adam LZ car that was crashed into, then restored by ‪@MatArmstrongbmx‬, with the help of ‪@jackbuildsit‬, and now owned by ‪@tavarish‬. I've been enjoying the car in my possession for the purposes of this review. My history with Porsches isn't the fondest, the brand never clicked with me as a whole. But it was a chance encounter with Chris Harris that led me to change my mind when I saw him and a friend of mine chatting about their personal brand new 992 911 GT3s. I had to stop and wonder...what am I missing? I've finally figured it out.

I've driven dozens and dozens of high-end sports cars and exotics, and the 992 Porsche 911 GT3 may be one of the purest and best sports cars on the market, bar none. 2023 911 GT3s and 2024 911 GT3s stay largely unchanged.

About the grading system:
All grades are relative to a car's respective category. For example: an SUV's score cannot be compared to a sportscar's. Different segments are graded differently.

I lean toward and prioritize performance on my scale. Suspension reflects the balance between handling and firmness of the ride, but also varies based on class of car (i.e. a luxury SUV is all about luxury, therefore suspension score is graded based on luxury and not handling). Power is about straight-line speed, which is affected by power-to-weight. Interior takes into account aesthetics, ergonomics, material and build quality. Design is highly subjective and nothing but personal preference. Likewise, so is sound. The final C&C score is purely bonus points. A 'cool factor', if you will.

Matt Armstrong did a super job restoring that car. Getting it leveled and aligned right by Porche. I love the screaming exhaust.... 🏆

This was an outrageous build by Mat and Team better than it came out the factory

I'll give you a like and sub mate. It really is a fantastic car, and what Mat and the rest of the gang did to restore this car was amazing.

Mat put his hart & soul into building that car he cross the pond. With parts unavailable in the US. & to my surprise he gave it away yes his dream car. 🇬🇧 Well done M.A bless 😇

Great review. I feel if I were ever in the fortunate position to buy a GT3 I’d go comfort seats and no half cage. For me it would a fast road car that might one day go to a track. 👍🏻

I never realised how invested I am in this car, to see other channels review it and hold it with such pretentiousness already. We are witnessing history in the making
@lilFaiz 10 months ago

White noise commentary is constant, leave a few spaces for us to feel and see and hear the vehicles you are commenting on. Lovely car, I enjoyed the build and repairs by Matt and team but nice to watch an independent review
