oh and let me add finally- if you do go drive some prototypes (imsa lites) or an open wheeler and you STILL feel like you need more hp, still want to drive a street car on the track...etc... just get the Gt2RS. if you get it in black with gold...maybe I'll buy it off you down the line. lol.

it looks like a really cool car if you're into turbo cars.

With a bit of tuning to bring the boost on quicker these VTG Turbo cars feel more like a LS6 Chevy Big Block!

At the Track on off throttle and I am never off boost ...Not what you would expect from a Turbo car.

If your bored of your GT2 and want something else get the GT2RS...but if your just looking to add a little more power and suspension keep what you have.

come on leif! I'm not bailing the CGT. Would like to add an F40, 956/962 and a 1960's DB4/5, but before that I'll get a yacht to invite russian supermodels to party on in corsica. NOT BAILING THE CGT!

What s the diff between GT2 RS and Manthey GT2 M600? - aerodynamics and light weight parts looks very similar - new PASM setup available for a year - engine tuning not sure

good predicament to be in I suppose.

If it were me, I would either keep your gt2 and maybe pick up a used 997 gt3 rs, then you have the best of both worlds. I couldnt imagine going from my turbo back to a naturally aspirated car, unless it was on full time track duty. Just my humble opinion

If you're spending the GT2 RS money, have you looked at other cars such as the McLaren MP4-12C, which is turbo charged as well?

Yep!!

What's the point when it's only going to be worth $250K in 2 - 3 Years over hear!!

I'd buy a 458 and sell it in 12 months for the same money I paid for it!
