996 GT2 or GT3?

2 v 3
It's probably no consolation to know that when I had my 6-GT3 I ached for a GT2 and when I finally got the 6-GT2 in trade for my 3, I really missed the 3! Both were optimized for aggressive street and moderate track. They simply provide different experiences and are both stellar drives. I think the 2 was better on the street(low and mid range torque) but the 3 more fun(hi rpm, slick shifting tossability) and less intimidating on the track than the 2 -at least until you've had a lot of practice with it!

I am in the market for a 996 GT2 for a couple reasons: 2WD turbo power, fairly exclusive and somewhat reasonable in this soft market. I've spent a lot of time in a 996 turbo X50, and enjoy the plush suspension compared to the GT3. The GT2 would be a good compromise between track and street. There are a few GT2's out there with low miles and some goodies (motons, cage, seats, etc) from 80-100. My 2 cents.

With respect to GT3 versus GT2 - for track I would go with GT3, but as Thushly noted the GT2 is very rewarding on the track when driven well! On the street the GT2 offers so much fun, short blasts, easy to power up to 550 hp or more and then look out. only your good sense and a smooth right foot will save your @$$!
I loved my 996 GT2 and will get one again soon to put away - the last Porsche Turbo with no driver aids, just ABS and you!

Or this could be a great baseline for a pure track car.

having both a 03 gt2, and a gt3rs, i find the 2 a blast to drive on the street. cant argue w/ it's immediate torque, although you have to be really paying attention when aggressively driving it! the 2 is a bit softer. the 3 is harsher & more direct. would say the 2 is a street car that can be occassionally used on the track; the 3 is a race car that can be occassionally street driven. when going for a sunday drive, i usually opt for the 2.
