For the track junkies who have tracked the MPSC's: how many DE's are they usually good for? I have 2 events on mine and have about 3/32's left. I figure they will be mostly gone after Saturday at AAA. 3 days? Is that all?? I think I might need to rob a Michelin warehouse if so.

It's incredible! I know turbo'd cars don't have as strong a fan base among track junkies but I decided on the GT2 because the deal was too good to pass up....compared to a .2 RS. $90,000 in depreciation for the GT2 vs $25,000 for a used RS. I was really grinding my guts over it because I was only interested in a car for the track, not the street. In the end, I couldn't pass on the great deals for the '08 GT2's.
No regrets! It's an absolute blast to drive and has helped me improve my driving.
Mike Levitas, TPC , has been helping me setup the car. We've changed the spring rate, re-ramped & pack the diff and modified the turbos. He modify the tune so the boost is very manageable for the track. He also sets the chassis pretty tight, which can be frustrating in low speed corners, but it puts down power incredibly well. Cheater car for sure
I've been following your CUP progress.....damn you! Stop talking about it, please!

Great feedback on the GT2. I am interested in the GT2 for the same reason - great bang for the buck. I should never have sold my street RS. I am looking for a street GT car now to drive on the track on days that I am tired of loading and unloading the Cup.
Once you find the right shop that does not rob you blind as far as labor cost then owing a Cup is a very reasonable feat. So far I spend very little on the Cup compare with my RS for the first 6 months ownership. Will give a full "Cup experience" feedback at end of year. So far it is one hell of a ride!!

Most of people are scared about the turbo and torque, I just love it, and the car is so controllable and if tuned properly and with the right set up is an amazing car.

GT2's can be as fast as a Cup if driven properly, and no, not with tons of power, with just a tune and exhaust; the ultimate cheater car. I should never sold my car
