Haha see other thread. He you and me taking penalty kicks... that wouldn't be fair now would it vs the rest on here? I don't think there are any other footballers on RL... and we know that footballers all drive Aston Martins and Bentley GT's
But yes this is an interesting discussion. Sure once can go big as ever on these _but_ it depends on what you're going for, right? You want to try and keep the integrity/electricity of the GT3 motor in tact with whatever build you go with. Tried all sorts of different sizes in terms of bore/stroke and balanced it against response etc...

Surprisingly the 4.1 has a stock 997 GT2 covered for torque to the wheels, and it's got a wider power band. Top speed in gears 2-4 is similar, and the shorter gearing allows the 4.1 to be equal to or ahead of the GT2 on thrust to the ground everywhere. It really is turbo grunt with normally aspirated response. Devastating combo. I can only imagine the 4.4 will be even more so.
Even still with an exhaust and tune for throttle response and no added boost. I'd take the GT2 to win all day. Especially if you put similar aero to an RS on it and the suspension mods that are on most of these project cars. Cup car times all day in a street car.
