So I bit the bullet and got a 2008 997 GT2 , 6K on it .All option car never tracked.One owner car.
Very excited! Not going to track it as I have a cup car.Well maybe if the cup is out of service .Just thought I’d share!
Anything I should know about the car?

The GT2's weak link is its LSD? Any more detail on this?

LSD clutch packs are prone to wearing out very prematurely, same as all 997 (and 996 to lesser extent)

Ah! Good to know. Thanks!

Other than simply replacing with the identical OEM replacement part, is there a recommended upgrade? SharkWerks doesn't have anything specific listed... (They're my Go To.)
