This GT2 is just for the collector and the cars and coffee set… won't get modified

More so than a 911R I'd have to say- even if in concept I like the R better, the 2RS is clearly the ultimate tool for a number of jobs.

Of course it's CGT money from just a couple years ago (oh how painful to have missed that boat), and if you could do that instead...

BUT, now is the chance for you Americans to finally have a say.

DoT needs to repeal quite a few laws in order to pass the truck speed limiter law, they need to review existing ones and repeals the outdated and pointless laws first.

Write to your Congressman and suggest repeal the relevant laws concerning the roll cage's safety.
