nice!!

wow nice car and suck ass price tag! lol

Year's_End · 01-21-2008, 06:26 PM

Wouldn't spend that much $$$ on a 911. I actually heard that some prefer the GT3 over this because of the steering and whatnot.

oneshare325 · 01-21-2008, 06:31 PM

Wow...I totally did not have an understanding of the GT2...I thought it was a less race version of the GT3...But I guess I was wrong..Shows what I know...

TheAcAvenger · 01-21-2008, 06:55 PM

nice find... king of the 911s. In response to bimmer loyalist, I'm not sure I would spend that much either, but I do think its the best car for the price. You're not getting a new ferrari within $100k, and theres not a single other car out there thats going to perform in its league. I'll take a GT3... unless i'm loaded one day. There's no doubt about it though, the 997 GT2 could possibly be the greatest porsche of all time.

I agree with pretty much everything you said. I will make an occassional search (few times/month) to try and find a used GT2....and a GT3 as well...hoping to find something worthwhile in the $60k-$80K range. I can rarely find anything below 90k. Sometimes on ebay, but ebay is risky imo.

lol yeah, to clear things up:

911<911S<9114S<911Turbo<911GT3<911GT3RS<911GT2.

I think that's how it goes, and I dunno where the Targa slots in. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The Turbo is faster than the GT3 and even the GT3 RS. Targa is just bellow 911...lol

you forgot all the cabriolets! But there's a targa 4 and a targa 4s that price-wise are ahead of the regular 911s and 9114s and cheaper than the cabrio versions.

If you had to ask in terms of PERFORMANCE... most people would agree:
911C4, 911C2, 911C4S, 911C2S, 911 Turbo/911 GT3 (the turbo is faster in a straight line but the GT3 beats it around every track), 911 GT3RS, 911GT2.

...With the cabrio versions and the targa versions being irrelevant to performance discussion, (although the cabrio 911C2S cabriolet is barely noticeably slower in the bends than its coupe counterpart from my experience.)

Rarely do you see performance enthusiasts picking the awd version over the rwd version. It's just not porsche-like. I've heard some go as far as to say they like driving the C2S over the 911 turbo for that very reason.

Faster yes but the GTx handles better.

Ya Turbo is great for straight line and handles really well.

But the GT3 is a pure driver's car. Handles sooo much better.

That GT2 is so beautiful. Porsche did a great job with that one.

oneshare325 · 01-21-2008, 11:51 PM

Thanks for clearing it up for me guys...But the GT3 rs is like a super lightweight right??

Is the GT2 have the same treatment as the GT3 RS?

Is the 911 Turbo the only one that is NOT naturally Aspirated?

md80tom · 01-22-2008, 01:13 AM

The GT2 is twin turbocharged just like the Turbo. Just think of it this way, the GT2 is basically a raw Porsche Turbo with RWD and upgraded stuff.

Ok nvm. That is a crappy relation, but I can't really explain that one to ya.

Year's_End · 01-22-2008, 01:41 AM

What gtiTom said pretty much. The GT2 is sorta like mixing a GT3 and a Turbo. The RS is a GT3 that's pretty much uber track ready out of the factory.

Exactly. It's a GT3 with the power (more of it actually, lots more) of the turbo

01-22-2008, 01:57 PM

cant wait til its out.... hopefully the rear bumper will be more appealing in real life. i saw one at the LA auto show but it just looked weird sitting on a platform that was turning - couldnt really get a good idea...

asdflkijd · 01-22-2008, 02:03 PM

God, that made my day.

Ohh damn, that car sounded great for a turbo car
