Post GT2 or 360 Modena? (I'm dreaming)

What would you pick? Since I love my 996 so much I would take the GT2. Regards. Mike

I love Porsche. But, I have heard some horror stories of the GT2 being a REAL hairy monster. One authority claims that 25% of all GT2's in the US have been in major accidents. Knowing myself and my lead foot, I could easily be one of those in the 25%.

So, if I won the lotto today and had to choose, I'd choose the moderna. If/when I get to be an expert driver, I'd get the GT2.

Wait a minute. If I won the lotto, I'd get the moderna to practice on AND the GT2 for when I really want to scare myself .

Mike,

What is going on? Did you hit the lotto or you just dreaming. But, for me, I would go for the GT2 and be a real man(who scares himself). Then trade it back in for a TT so I wont make stains on my boxers.

Plus, I got zero time for a car that needs that much attention and need what a total engine rehaul after how many miles. Just because you can afford doesnt mean, I want to **** my money away.

I'm sorry but you must be smoking crack if you'd choose a GT2 (As cool and awesome as it is) over a 360 Modena.

O,

I dont know but to be honest, I like the way GT2 looks over the 360. Unless it is a spider the car looks odd and enfact it looks like the new Z from nissan.

Anyways, what can I say. ME LIKEY PORSCHE

Do you want attention or performance?

I'd go for performance, GT2 hands down.
Almost twice the torque, better acceleration, braking and we all know it would out handle a Modena.

Would I be part of that 25%? Probably.

That's like asking if you had the chance to marry Mary Jane Johnson from next door who is a great cook and be a good mother (GT2) or Denise Richards, when every morning you would wake up and thank the good Lord for creating such a creature (Modena), which would you choose?

I'll take a ride on the wild side, for as long as it lasts.

GT2 for sure, but then its not a fair comparison. The Modena is better off being compared with the GT3 and even then I'll still go with the Porsche.
