I've read (on the internet) that 75% of them are crashed. Is this possible? true? false?

75% crashed sounds highly improbable to me. It sounds like snopes.com needs a new section for GT2 Urban Legends.

Metal: Thanks. I thought the single image from about 100 degrees looked better than an animation of the full 360.

Putting on better tires (Corsas) and a very good alignment helps a lot in saving these beasts from destruction.

I don't think the Corsa are better than the Michelins, and for my money if the car came with Corsas I'd make the dealer swap them before I took delivery..mais, a chaque son gout!

Which Corsa and which Michelin are you referring to? If you are talking of the stock Michelin Pilot Sport on the GT2, anything is better than that. If you are talking of the R-compound Pilot Sport Cup, it may be slightly superior to the R-compound Corsa, but not by much.

BTW, the Corsa System as found on the GT3RS is now approved for both the GT3 and GT2 variants. Now, THAT might be a great maximum performance street tire.

"Corsa System" .. what's that? And where is it available for sale in the US?

Thanks,

The Michelin PS1's are marginal at best, the Corsas are twice the tire. They don't last a long but they stick so much better it isn't even close. R compund all the way. It doesn't make sense to buy a GT2/3 and skimp on the only part of the car that actually touches the road.
