..actually I still have to do something on some suspension parts..so my car is not completely 100% done..
GT2 in red would be my second choice..mine is black..but after having seen the the one from byers..red is almost as good..for sure its rarer..
PS: does anybody know the number of 997 GT2 CS versions produced..? 1261 in total..but how many CS?

gt2 is the faster car without a doubt. more hp, a lot more torque, same chassis, almost same mass.
but the gt3 feels more elastic, more immediate. I drove the gt2 a few times and while it is so very impressive to hurtle down the straights the power delivery at apex and in trailing throttle corners just feels wrong compared to an NA car.
In the end a good driver will simply figure out what the car wants or is able to do and extract it. But certainly an example of fast not always being more fun. I suppose if I spent a whole day doing hot laps eventually it wouldnt matter - worse, I'd probably be hooked on the power and wouldn't want my slow *** gt3 anymore.
what is really impressive IMO is how good the base chassis is - its great on a 415hp 997.1, RS, 435 hP .2, 455 hp rs, 500hp 4.0, 530 hp gt2 and then the modified beasts that push beyond 600hP. says a lot about how good the 997 chassis is...
