Redline, redline, redline, 114 mph in third, etc, etc, and never felt like it was going fast enough. The 2 felt just as fast with a lot of room left before the pedal was floored. I was feathering the throttle and she felt just as fast. I've got to admit, the first time I drove it she felt sluggish, still fast, but sluggish, then we took over to Champion Porsche for a full PPI and they found the alternator was not charging the system, after a clean bill of health I drove her again and Oooooofffaaaaa, I was in love. Can't wait. After I drive her for a little while, I see a Gt700 kit in my future.
You can go to the dragstrip and blow everybody's doors off and then drive it to the roadcourse and lap everybody there too!!!

no it seems too red and not orange enough to be zanaibar. I have seen a zanzibar Gt2 before and it looks amazing. Actually the same guy with the zanzibar GT2 bought a CGT in that color.
9Eleven that is one kick *** GT2. Enjoy it in good health. The wait must be a KILLER

It gets here hopefully around the 8th. Here are some pics of her at the dealership. Now, chill the F**k out and as Tony Soprano would say, "Forget about it."

Unfortunately, I only drove her for about 10 minutes and although the sales rep was nice, I felt he wouldn't of appreciated me bashing the car. Although, I did run her into 3rd gear several times and got her into triple digits. Braking was identical, feel and bite. I love the car, and the best thing is I now a platform to modify. You can't really do that in a 3.
