Like I said I was very surprised.

 

Vince, if you could keep one, GT2 or 997 GT3 (I think I know the answer :/ )

You have my ideal lineup of cars, so funny!

 

This same thought has been constantly on my mind as well. First, it was all the positive reports-including Luis and then Vince's great looking wheels. I don't know if can hold out for the new GT2. Better not drive one or my GT700 GT2 might be going. Must resist...

 

Like Grussel, AmirGT2 and Supercup, who sold their highly modded GT2s for the new 3 and never look back. I too feel the same way. The handling, power, sound and looks of this car is so dam good out of the box. It is so ferrocious but at the same time predictable and tameable .
The 996GT2 on the other hand is like a wild beast. Constantly have to be careful cause you never know when it's going bite you in the ***. Moreoever, I wasn't satsfied with it til Motons,Europipe, BBS and LSD ect,ect were added. You guys know your Porsches so I'll let you be the judge.

 

he's so out of control that it can't be driven on the street anymore.

 

I have driven many regular 997's (S's non S's, modded, stock etc) and never felt like I had to have one. The 996GT3 is faster and handles better than all of them, therefore I had kind of the same flawed mindset as I did about the 993 vs. the regular 996. (I still prefer the 993 over any non dry sump 996 BTW ) The 997GT3 platform feels like it is far more advanced and like many of us have said already, more refined.

Nelson, the if the difference from the 996 GT2 to the 997 GT2 is anywhere close to the difference in the GT3's, (Which I think it will be), you will feel the same way I do today after you get a chance to drive the new GT2. If you are on a list for one, I would hold out for the GT2 as you are spoiled with the power of that GT700 which the GT3 does not have. I think the new Gt2 is going to be the best of both worlds.

 

That's what I wanted to hear Luis, hope it's true and thanks for the support. Good luck with your decision, though you can't go wrong with the cars in this discussion.

 

You too. Keep us posted with what you decide to do. For me, it would be a very tough decision between a 996GT2 and a 997GT3. Prior to driving the 7 yesterday, a 996GT2 was the only thing I needed to make my life complete. (Probably the same way you felt before you sold your 996GT3 and went to the GT2)

 

My situation exactly. We really need both. Too bad there aren't many hi-reving torque monster cars with sweet handling/ajustable suspension available-not to mention with great build quality, lightish weight, min driver aids, racing heritage, dealer support etc... ha.

 

Needing both is definitely the solution LOL . Both cars are just so thrilling and rewarding, I am thinking of the GT3 for its newer platform/updates and for the increased driveability. If my car was just a track car I wouldnt think twice!

 

Heeeyyyyy.......
I hope, you are not thinking about my 2!!!!!
Like father, like son, always looking for that extra edge.
Regards,

 

Luis, make the move...

 

The 997 GT3 will be HOT!!! Please give me a ride Luis please

 

Luis, if you get one... Let me know, haha. Too bad Felix isn't around, but you should make a trip out here to SD and hook me up with a photo Op to shoot your car and we can go to a meet or something.

Alright chat with you soon.

 

I've been itching to go back and visit you guys soon again, hopefully next spring/summer!
