From Wikipedia

Porsche also developed a GT2 Evo, able to race in the GT1 category. The Evo saw an increase in power to 447.6 kW (600 hp) through the use of larger turbochargers. Other modifications included a new, higher-mounted rear wing, larger fenders to house the wider tires allowed in the GT1 class, and a decrease in weight to 1,100 kg (2,425 lb)

There were many iterations of the GT2 with different HP levels and just as many 993TT conversions that were not real GT2s. I would guess that ballpark the blue GT2 is in the mid-high 400s HP based on its acceleration. Driving skills aside.

The one in demiruyar's nice video might be a GT2 with 430HP as they came from the factory, I don't expect it to be faster than a GT3 Mk2 on the track and straight line acceleration very close to the GT3.

Check out the acceleration of a street legal 600HP 3100lbs "GT2 clone" vs. a 997TT or a 997GT2 as it passes the TT at around 140mph. On a 3 mile track this street "GT2 clone" is 5 seconds + faster than a GT3 Mk2.

Hi and Thanks Jean

Actually not, it had the 2008 GT3 RS tranny with 4.0 pinion gear & very lwfw in it. Also straight pipes
Thats why it was as fast as 997.2 GT3 on the straight line..

Jean, That GT2 was my car before the project. With the latest mods we ve done (gt2871r's,evo cams,new conrods,pistons,liners,mechanic rocker arms) it is way more faster than the previous setup. And yes arm length flames are standart We 'll have an event this weekend at Istanbul Park and hope Demir will bring his camera again

Hi Lopro ; Thank you for your latest post That 3.9 GT3 was my favorite NA car of all time and I really miss it RS was also very fun with sequential gearbox box and sold to another Rennlister. Now, I am a forced induction Porsche guy!! Also to find the right tuner for our GTs is very important and I can honestly say I am very luck about it

Cheers,

Selcuk

For sure , I will shoot a better video this time !

Btw, I remember seeing the sequential RS for the first time, in front of a nice restaurant. I felt deeply humiliated after seeing the sequential box in there. It was painful experience for me

Looking forward to Sunday
