Here's another nicely optioned GT2 at Rizza:

I'd say they're already cheaper once you factor in options, prep, and guzzler tax, but the answer for me remains no. I prefer naturally aspirated over turbo.

My RS wil cost $135K almost zero options.

I have never driven a GT2 or any Turbo on the track. Is't the suspension a bit better also? How do they sound?

I know the GT3 felt real fast driving to work until I bought the CL65 (734TQ). Than again I can not imagine keeping that torque on the track once the Turbo's kick in, so maybe you have a point....

Were the wheels and decals a factory option?

I'm a bit concerned about the mental health of ANYONE who would buy such a magnificent driving machine and, ah, not drive it.

Somebody PLEASE buy those two and drive the SNOT OUT OF THEM!!

Drove that car 4 times. She's a honey. If it were not for the seats (fixed Sports) it would probably be in my garage.

But the .2 GT3 I bought instead is every bit as good a car, no better in many ways... until you press the long, skinny pedal very hard

Given the red stitching, red gauges (no thanks!) and red belts, I'm guessing the red stickers and red wheels were intentional. I guess only the RS gets the full red wheel paint ... maybe the original owner chose the GT3 paint scheme by preference.

This GT2 at Rizza had all the options I wanted if I am going to buy a GT2,
well perhaps I would paint it with Polar Silver (paint to sample) options,
but other than that, This is PERFECT... beside with this kind of price, I will not complain...
too bad I am not in the US anymore...
This price is a very good price !

My car is sorted..alignment, ride height... cornering 1.65 G's, power comes on smoothly...very easy to drive fast.
I think it's crazy to dismiss this car as not as good!

The Gt2 graphics are factory option.

$50k over 600 miles, equals $83.33 per mile. Ouch.

I like the red stiching but thy forgot to stich the e-brake and shift boot in red. Why?
