Well, considering Akkurat represents half the entrants!

Which Akkurat is #1? The white GT2?

True, but if the course favored handling, I would think James' car especially with the JRZ's would have the advantage.

It was actually James Wong's GT2 that took first for Akkurat....less HP, but light weight and 2wheel drive.

I also heard he won by a good amount...

Like I said once before, GT2's are simply superior handling cars!!!

Now I hope you guys believe me.

Kevin, what you are not seeing is that the GT2 has a different suspension geometry and superior suspension parts such as monoballs, GT3 wheel carriers and links, etc. Coupled with the light weight, this is what makes the GT2 a superior platform to the Turbo.

Tyson, I agree with you. The GT2 makes a much better track car ...

It was only a matter of time before the GT2 asserted itself, once again proving Porsche knows what it's doing.

The "myth" has begun, and there are only 200 of these babies around.

If the GT2 holds first place, watch the value and desireability begin to rise! Fickleness has always been expensive.
