anyone strenuously object to combining the gt3/gt2 into one forum? John is cool with it.

Do we really want people with turbos around to tell us how easy it is for them to get an extra 200+HP out of their motors?

Being that they are both rear wheel drive and void of any driver assistance software...I think they have more in common than the obvious differences of Turbo versus NA. Just MHO...

Since both the cars have a commonality of purpose, I thinks it's very good idea to combine them.

Then I want instruction from the GT3 guys who are faster (than GT2) round the track.

Having the information shared in one forum would allow for meaningful comparisons and observations.

I was just joking about the turbo issue. There's definite logic for offering a combined forum on what may be the last performance over luxury, non-'latte set' appealing cars Porsche will offer for the street in the US.

Rockitman: Can't you get some sort of girlie themed avatar by the board censors? These spinning Porsches you're using now are making me ill.

Good training for the G-Forces you will sustain in your GT3!!!!
I agree, the one on the track is rather distracting. I will change it...

I dont agree.

GT3 Is a 100% pure Car

Gt2 Is just filler.

It would also be more cluttered in here.

Gt3 owners wouldnt like the gt2 . Its a different car .

my 2 cents

The GT3 owner who started the tread likes the GT2, as a future GT3 owner I like the GT2 as well, (if it was the same car it wouldn't have a different model designation).

The cars have the same purpose (extreme sports performance).

What in your driving experience has led you to conclude that the GT2 is just filler? Which part of the GT2 (versus the GT3) isn't pure car, I'm sure Porsche and others are interested to hear?

The intent of the GT2 & GT3 are the same... pure driving without all the extras. However, for mechanical tech issues the GT2 has more in common with the TT than the GT3... in that aspect the GT3 almost stands alone. For interior items they are all pretty much the same (996, TT, GT2, GT3). I like the idea of combining them for discussing intent, but for tech they are different cars. I vote to keep them separate.

regardless of the mechanicals, the purpose of both cars is similar-combine them.
