Buy it and enjoy it,
with your modding knowledge and capabilities you will have an infinitely fast car.

Gary is right for that price you'd be a fool not to go GT2!

Better than the turbo? Yes it is miles better than the stock turbo. Is it perfect? not really, you could do alot to make it perform better. Have an alignment done to your GT2 when you pick it up though. Always a good idea. If it still has the original Michlien PS1's that came as standard, think about having those replaced. The Pirelli Corsa System tires that came on the GT3 RS are an excellent choice.

Smile X50 VS GT2

After spending a day at the track driving my stock X50 and a friend's GT2 back to back, for street/track use my son and I agree we prefer the TT. Altho the GT2 was more nimble and the reduced weight was noticeable, for street use I will prefer the "Hand of God" (PASM) - mainly because even tho we are all "real men" and expert drivers of tail happy Porsches, on the street we can come accross unexpected sand or wildlife and having one last chance of keeping it out of the fence is really appealing to me. In my experience , the PASM does not activate until I was already past the point where I was likely to be faster - also you can turn it off. The 996TT does not have the level of understeer my 993 had, which I think was mainly a problem for the cars at the US ride height.

One last thought - and this will go against some - I would always suggest to someone that if they want a faster car, buy a faster car- generally the more money in mods, the less it will be worth.
For a track car, I would suggest the GT2, for track/street I will take the X50.
