correct. remember when the 930 turbo was released? the 993 GT2 commanded respect too.
id say this GT2RS will command attention on those wet days and short stretch stints that are famous for carnage even with the help of electronic aids.
that being said, a few CGT 's have been known to hit poles and walls..... they command responsible drivers as much as the next super car.

This new RS has quite a bit less power/torque than mine and with all the modern aids you really have to be a maniac to really lose it.....

Porsche can make any version of the mass-produced 911 faster than the Carrera GT, but that won't touch the resale values of the Carrera GT.
The Carrera GT was too much car for its time, too much car right now, and based on the future of Porsche (targeting 150,000 car sales/year), I doubt they will build some as spectacular as the Carrera GT.
The 918 Spyder is a step on the wrong direction. Adding weight, adding lots of electronics, electric motors, that's not the right thing. Their marketing BS says the 918 Spyder will be faster around the Nurburgring, they forgot to mention "just for one lap".
But, seriously I hope the Carrera GT depreciates badly, so I can buy my pristine one, and a few wrecked ones as spare part cars.

The reason why I'm asking is because of this post:
http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1...ptember-launch
"In addition to the new GT2 RS, a regular GT2 will also be launched. This model, which you can read about in more detail here, is expected to feature slightly revised styling and a milder 550 horsepower output. Both cars should go on sale in the U.S. around the end of the year."
So I'm wondering if it is just rumor...

With only 300 GT2RS to go around world wide, maybe a "regular" GT2 is not such a bad idea? (since I'm guessing that the demand for GT2 will be higher than 300 world wide..)

Porsche should sack their marketing department lock, stock and barrel -- all they need to do is have that loop of video. Someone comes in and says "I'm not sure about the GT2." They watch the video. They sell their house and buy the car. Simple sales cycle.
