Thanks for watching!

Chris was such a cool guy, great instructor

[billnorblat]

Best sollution is to own both, obviously.

[mylzebatyahoocom]

The guide is really well spoken! Shows he knows a lot about the car.

[rainztk]

10:14 did NOT know Topher had it like that 😭

[davosadao]

You are lucky to have been paired with a great instructor. I did this same course and my instructor was absolutely horrible. They barely knew anything about the vehicles, coud barely explain each segment of the course, and my 90 minutes was basically spent in silence. Looked forward to my only GT porsche experience and was severely disappointed. If you get the chance to do this, grill your instrctor. Dont pay this much money to get a negative experience with an instructor who doesn’t care.

Topher just showed his expertise stringing all the corners together on low friction course

[CommandoMaster]

This is very informative for how to drive track.

God, what an astonishing opportunity to get to experience the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta via POV video! Getting to virtually sit in the hot seat of both the 911 Turbo S and the GT3, and testing them through the myriad of tracks and pushing them to their limits was simply incredible. This video alone further solidified my interest in owning one of these great feats of engineering one day. Kudos to Chris for being a top notch instructor, as well as you definitely knowing how to toss these beasts around 👌

[darrenparkes]

Simply the most enjoyable car video I’ve ever watched, never driven a performance car, but watching you and this whole video was intoxicating, the instructor was interesting to listen to,

[shanefederko]

I just went there and had two experiences booked and both blew me away. My instructor was Chad and he was very knowledgeable and knew what he was doing! I can’t wait to go back again!

[fhowland]

I did the Porsche experience at Barber Motorsports park in Birmingham- was so amazing! I couldn’t believe how much harder the Turbo was to drive on track vs the GTS. The extra 300 lbs makes a big difference.

[darrenparkes]

Wow that was simply awesome, never enjoyed a car video like that, loved the sound of the gt3 bravo

[motiOn]

Chris was my instructor in a gt3 and S this weekend! He was great and the experience was amazing!

[akoayogag]

What the. I just tried searching this exact car comparison this morning, an hour before this video dropped.

[EwokEight]

What a great video Topher! Nice driving! I'm a Turbo S kinda guy.

[Minoru]

Going to the experience center last year for my birthday single handedly influenced my decision to move to ATL. Doesn't help that I'm able to drive here in under 30 mins lol. Awesome vid, turbo s fuckin rips!

[leehaloover]

Your Driving on the low friction course was superb! first time manhandling the car and aced it!

[midslam]

Proves you don't have to be the greatest driver to enjoy quality.
Nice video.

[mangomaniac]

Wow this looks fun! I’ve wanted to do this experience for some time. You’re a great driver!

[zuhairth]

he is a good driver...and understanding what it takes to make it instructions
