I would say i agree, but I read that Porsche is not concerned about beating the GT-R anymore. They have a client base that is not looking for that and they know it. I for one could care less if a GT-R beats my turbo, the thing is huuuuuuge and hideous.

IF the 991 turbo does put out 600 hp, I wonder what the GT2 will have. If they make one.

Well, good points. But, I'm no different than them. Client base or not, better car or not, Porsche can only stand it so long when Datsun is over there hooting about their car. Competition makes the hair stand up on your neck.

No this is still happening as that's what is rumored to be testing in this video.

Makes one wonder if they'll have to go AWD with the next GT2... I would support their call on that one either way, as long as they do make it.

This is good news. Ferrari has certainly moved the goal posts forward with the 458 & F12. It would be great to see Porsche do the same.

^^ IF they make a 991 GT2, no way it will be AWD.

Real world, the car will probably be around 520 hp. The S down the line may possibly get 550, but its obvious to see porsche doesnt really put massive gains down with new generations. Either way, they sound incredible and Im sure the car will be unreal.
