Folks, I had my 07 gt3 for almost 2 years now. Love every bit of it, but as time goes on when u think u had most of it, it's time for change!
I've 3 option. Please advise,
1). 09 GT2
2). 10' GT3RS
3). Stay as it is 07' GT3
I'm intended to keep 1 car only

Thanks.

 

This is easy - 09 GT2.

 

gt2, easy

 

I own a GT2 and the choice is not easy at all. The 3RS is much preferred when talking to folks who own porsche tuning shops. When I was trying to make the choice I called a few of the shops and they said that their personal cars are the 3RS because they feel it is the best 911. The said the GT2 is much heavier and does not feel as pure. The GT2 compared to the 911 TT feels much more special, connected and pure though.
For me I went with the 2, my reasons were probably the right color, price, condition, mileage, and options. It could have just as easily been the 3RS though.

With the 2
You can add a nice ECU tune and some sport cats to give you and extra 90hp for about 8k. Then you can do some suspension upgrades for another 3k. And you can give it some weight loss with a braille battery (11 pounds) and plexiglass rear window which with both will remove at least 60 pounds.

And with the 3RS
You can take it to sharkwerks and have them do the 3.9L conversion and have much more power.

With both of the mentioned mod options you make the difference between the car much more insignificant. Either car is great and a winner IMO.

 

3RS, the GT2 has a great following but the raw, race feel of the RS would be my choice.

 

Gt2 forever!!!

 

I have to agree 100%. I just went from a 997.1TT to an 08 GT2. What a car. I just can't get enough. My friend has on 07 GT3 (non RS) that I drive occasionally - I'll take the GT2.

 

I agree with the excellent post by zzzspeed. That said in the case of original poster, I do think it's a very easy choice: GT2 without a doubt.

Why? Not because of each car's capabilities, but because I believe in trying different things, to learn and to enjoy. GT2 is a completely different car from GT3, hence it's a "better" choice in this case.

 

GT2 or the GT2RS are both great options.

I'm looking into a GT2 myself as well

 

GT2. Do it.

 

My modified GT2 is performing close to a GT3 Cup and there is no way the GT3 RS feel more racing.

 

Damn, your car looks like a beast. What mods do you have and any opinions you have on specific mods would be appreciated.

Shtfrbrains, I crack up every time I see that username.

 

And btw, my GT2 weight 2900 pounds full of gas.

I forgot a carbon hood.

Going to go with 4.0L and 68mm Champion turbos and a 40/60 Guard differential. Will remove air con, install racing shafts, and go solid mount for the motor and transmission. Need to fix some racing air ducts for the front rotors because my yellow calipers are now brown!

 

Thanks. I prefer to go for entertainment value over my feeble attempts at coolness. Just me.
