C&D 997.2 GT3 First Drive

Reads like a press release, and it may be a little dated since it's written by the departed Csaba Csere. But it's still GT3 news.

Wow, they ran 11.8 sec pass ! I am impressed.
Did the GT2 run 11.2 sec?

The 997.2 GT3 is making me think. No sunroof, centerlocks and a 3.8 motor oh yeah. Is compression still 12:1? They do not say.

Here's my thread with the DR first drive (whereas most mags/sites just cribbed from the press release to write their first drive on the launch, DR actually wrote a great article): https://teamspeed.com/forums/gt/2199...997-2-gt3.html

Scroll down 5 or 6 posts or just read the article (beware, it's lengthy, but in a good way

)
