What Watt did to Alfie was more like what the hillbillys did to that guy in the movie deliverance. Ouch!

C'mon guys...my black gt2 is still here. im saving it for Watt...Someone will buy it, I just wanted you guys to have first shot at it. I'm a nice guy like that. I did not take offense to Watt's offer, everyone is entitled to steal a gt2, or two or three. At this point, I just cant let it go near his number. Maybe someday, but I surely hope not...

Interesting, someone placed a bid on the car. I would like to criticize the person for doing so but damn, it sure is good-looking.

By the way, my GT3 has nervous behavior on poor roads even after alignment, does the GT2 exhibit that same behavior? My 996TT, of course, has none of that and is not as much fun either. Just wondering if this was endemic in the GT2/3 cars.

AWD on the Turbo is your answer.

EVERY RWD 911 I have ever driven is worse over yucky roads than EVERY AWD 911 I have ever driven (964 C4, 993TT, 996TT).

I'm in Ohio, YMMV.

nervous behavior??? Is this speculation on your part or actual experience from driving said car??? I guess it all depends what your roads are like. I don't find my GT3 nervous, nor does it need a prozac prescription....

What I mean is that it really tends to tramline and follow every imperfection in the road. This requires a significant amount of tiny corrections that I have not noticed in the 996TT. Yes, I own both and love both in their own way. On the track it is awesome. What I am trying to determine is if the handling characteristics are similar to the GT2 which I have not driven.

I see what you mean...Uneven surfaces requires driver attention and both hands on the wheel...I experience this too on roads like that. I would imagine the GT2 to be very similar in that it does not have traction control and may even tramline more so under acceleration from it's greater amount of torque when encountering road conditions as you describe...

Seljan,
Are you saying a brand new 03 GT2 was sold off the showroom floor for 150?

Well, I never said I was the brightest bulb on the tree. But Watt, please help me understand how the dealer could take a 30 thousand dollar loss on the car? Or explain why would they? The Floor planning rate could not have been that bad. How high of an interest rate could they have been paying. Whats the name of this dealer so we can use the sale as ammo for grinding?
