With Porsche dealers from across the world now taking delivery of their 2018 911 GT3s, aficionados might tend to forget about just how awesome the pre-revamped incarnation of the track-savvy Neunelfer is. However, we can think of at least one famous gear head who certainly knows just how amazing the 991.1 GT3 can be, namely Spike Feresten.
That's because Michael Donovan Feresten Jr. happens to drive such a 911, one that's dressed in Dark Blue Metallic.
The TV personality has been enjoying his GT Division animal for quite a while now, with his Porscha packing a down to earth spec. For starters, the hue of the rear-engined coupe boosts the understated aura that has defined the Neunelfer even since its inception over five decades ago.
Of course, with the Porsche 911 GT3 packing a generous rear wing, the visual side of the machine is extremely well balanced, just likes its aerodynamic profile.
The Car Matchmaker host has gone all the way when grabbing this GT3, with the Porsche packing expensive options such as the PCCB (Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes) hardware - notice the banana-colored brake calipers, which signal the presence of the said goodies.
As Spike aptly explains in one of his Instagram posts involving the car, spending your weekends with a mix of 475 hp and creature comforts is awesome.
Given his professional life, the gearhead does get the opportunity to enjoy Porsche press cars and the fact that he still enjoys his Gen 1 GT3 after having experienced the might of multiple 991.2 models says quite a lot about the nature of the driving experience delivered by such a Zuffenhausen animal.
For one thing, this serves as a reminder that while Nurburgring lap times are important, they're far from everything when it comes to getting one's share of giggles behind the wheel of a go-fast machine.
