Did they change anything at all with GT2 like they did with 3 .1 and .2?

thanks

There was no .1 GT2RS and there was no .2 GT2, so they went from '09 GT2 to and '11 GT2RS

Different cars, but I would say the difference between the 2 is similar as between a .1 GT3 ans .2 GT3RS, except the GT2 was the first car with the folding sport seats...

Peter, I have to say that the difference is a lot smaller.

GT2 and GT2RS share the same engine, with different tune, different intercoolers, looks, aero, and suspension. Engine wise they are the same.
A lot easier to make a GT2 perform like a GT2RS than, a 3.6 GT3 to perform like a 3.8GT3.

They also have different turbos.

M3EvoBR

Didn't know about that. Do you know the different part numbers ?

Nick Wong

Not off the top of my head. Champion told me they are different, so they would know.

M3EvoBR

right !

tks, food for thought.

I know the 997 turbos and GT2 turbos are different.

I'll do some research this upcoming week, thanks for the info.

GT2 is an interesting animal

M3EvoBR

very .... and I still miss my 996GT2, that particular car was amazing.

Nick Wong

To sum up the differences that actually matter- pistons, turbos, ECU, PCM, red highlighted interior. Those things will cost a lot to change. Then you have body- front fenders, hood, front/rear bumper covers and lip/lower valence, rear tail lights, intercooler intakes, under panel for rear window, and wing insert. Then the simple bolt ons- intercoolers, shocks/springs, sway bars, and maybe one or two that I don't know or remember.

Damn, those cars are healthy .... 570WHP in stock form is really fun

Thanks for the quick replies lads. Im only really interested in the GT2 (non RS). So basically theyre all the same except factory add options?

Bryce86

Reason really for the question is because the GT3.2s seem better finished inside and I prefer the black interface of the sat nav. Been browsing the classifieds and came across a 09 GT2 with this interior...



I am in the UK of this makes any difference.

Bryce86

Seems the 09 (not sure when from) cars all have this nav. PCM 3? If thats different, is there anything else?

As a collector's car, I would pick up the GT2 RS.

As a track car, I would pick up a 997 GT2, add some of the GT2 RS body stuff, then tune engine and suspension, re-gear, no way a GT2 RS would touch that.
