crazy hot...love it !

 

Keep in mind the suspension on these cars is totally different than any other 911 of the same era sold in N. America. You really need to know WTF you're doing to take advantage of the driving experience.

I wouldn't worry too much about getting an older vs. newer car. They're all the same, except for the '04s (very rare in US, I think less than 80 sold, and god know how many left with no stories), which got a slight bump in power, different wheels, fake carbon mirror covers and a real, bare carbon wing blade.

A lot of people consider these the last TRUE driver's turbocharged Porsche because there is no PSM, and it never came with a sunroof or backseats.

I know you owned a Turbo back in the day. It seems like a similar car, but isn't. Much more feedback and much crazier to keep under you.

 

Hmmmmm I want one, I can't decide if I want a GT3 or a GT2. Oh well I'm in no rush with the way these cars are going might as well wait a little while.

 

Well I have lusted after these for ever just for those reasons. The problem was my Dad refused to buy me something that didn't have some form of traction control. Now I'm operating with my own dough so those rules no longer apply.

I feel like the GT2 could become a real classic for the reasons you mentioned. I just don't think the 997 gt3/2 carry the same level of balls out take it to the edge fear of their 996 ancestors. I've been driving the 599 with CST-off and believe I know I just signed my death certificate lol, no seriously I am going to take this super slow. In the end though you need to get rid of the training wheels at some point and its very difficult to find a car without the matrix taking it over lol.

 

Have you done any DE?

If no, sign up for some and take some.

Oh and autox too.

Get some DE so you can drive smoothly, and some autox so you can catch the rear at slow speed.

GT2 is quite enjoyable once you have some of these basic down.

 

if u plan on getting one, take it in silver or black..

 

They deemed it the "Widow Maker" for a reason. Dangerous but amazing car for sure.

 

GT2 is just a lil' puppy dog

Some of these GT2's are great deals, most, NOT.. Lots of hidden stories, forums members will uncover anything, post it up if you are serious in buying a specific one i'll get you every stitch of info about it!

 

Paint meter is a must.

 

Only 24 made it to the US in '04 and 5 in '05.
