Default new GT2 and RT12...

So we did a 300+ mile drive yesterday on largely deserted roads...

Sorry, no running shots... hopefully a few to follow...

Enjoy!

At 650 HP, I'd imagine the RT12 is one of the very few cars that will show its heels to the 997 GT2.

I've driven the RT12...it's an absolute beast with tons of grip. it never feels out of sorts, even on farm roads at 175mph. much more compliant and soft than my GT3- but it's more of a tourer than a track beast anyway.

best thing about it is how easy it is to drive...clutch is really light, and it can putter around in low gears without dying. really good ecu- and holy crap does it sound awesome at start up and idle...so much basso profundo.

Great pics! Seems like you had a ton of fun.

It is interesting to look at the differences in rear bumpers (front to a lesser extent) and what they do to the overall silhouette of the car.
