GT2 arrives home, finally!
After a week on a truck, its home now and gotten a little bit cleaned up.
Drove it last night in the canyons with virtually no traffic. What a blast!
Feels so responsive both in terms of acceleration and steering. Clutch is very hard and so is the steering. Those cup tires are just amazing and grips like crazy. Suspension is stiff but compliant. Rebound is very fast. Car truly feels like an extension of oneself with very little filtering of the outside in terms of noise, road surface, etc. Very different than my 997TT. The turbo feels like a fast Mercedes compared to the GT2. Totally different application. The Turbo is a much better daily driver and the GT2 is way more fun to drive in a spirited manner.
Needless to say, I am ecstatic!
Sorry, but gotta go drive now.

Thanks for the help on posting that pic. To answer your questions regarding the pics, I simply don't have time to post 10 pics one at a time and wait for each one to upload before choosing the next one and doing that again 10 times when I can do all 10 at once on Teamspeed.

Terrence, congratulations!
Did you get a chance to do some GPS performance measurement tests with your new GT2? I am not able to get the same numbers quoted in magazines, after 200kph mainly..
It is hot here now but just how much is performance being affected by heat is unclear to me, so wanted to check with someone else who has tested them in real life.
