Vic, you're crazy man, first 993TT last month, then 996GT2, are you going to get a 997TT next week

Anyone who know Victor from MBworld will know, we're luck to have him come back to Porsche world and develop some new parts for us!

btw, I will be a happy man either you take the silver, yellow or black beast out tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I've had 4 993TT and 3 or 4 996TT in the past. This is the first GT2 I've ever driven and now I understand why everyone who has one keeps saying how different they feel from the regular 996TT..

I find the car more nimble and much more responsive to throttle. You better be on the ball and paying attention when you are driving because there is no AWD or PSM to save you in case you get a little too frisky with the accelerator.

And, you do have to keep your left leg in shape in order to drive this car.. With no power assist, the clutch does require a bit of effort (nothing major but it is noticeable).

I love the PCCB brake system. It gets you down from 150mph VERY QUICK.

The only 1 mod this car had was a factory short throw shifter.. I am assuming the coilover system that is on there is factory... If not, I have 2 mods.. LOL.

I cant even imagine what the 600hp will be like on a RWD GT2.. Parts should be here for next week so I'll have more to report very soon.

------------------------------------------------------

Its for show and for street driving with occasional track duty. My 993TT is going to be my main track event car.

No.. The E55 is sleeping in the next garage bay. That car is still not 100% done yet.. Need to install and setup the 5.7L motor still.

Hey Ben! Thanks buddy! How did the rally go? Is it time for more power in the DTM ??

Hey Ray! Thanks buddy! I'll bring the GT2 tonight so you can check it out. You can come and see the 993TT later on this week..

Absolutely! I should have the carbon by next week.. I'll post some stock interior pics and then the final ones once I finish installing everything.

Here is a copy of the Options List for the GT2.. From what I was told when we checked with Porsche Canada, this is the only one of its kind in Canada right now..

I just picked up the GT2 yesterday so other than the pics I posted with the GT2 and the 993TT in the garage behind it, Nope.. Those are the only pics I have right now.

993TT needs some TLC.. Its gotta go in for engine mount replacement and boost leak. Once it is all cleaned up, I'll take some group photos with the 993TT, the black E55 beast, and the SY GT2. All 3 cars are undergoing their own project rebuild.. The 993TT is documented on Rennlist.. E55 is on MBWorld and the GT2 will live here.
