how does the GT3 RS stack up against this?

GT3 is the NA version so it's not going to be anywhere nearly as fast as this.

Widow maker.

^ just like the 911 turbos of yesteryear..

holy crap.

porsche has absolutely milked as many models as possible with the 911 platform...

next thing we know...

a mid engine Hyper car'ed 911 going under the GT1 monkier.. @__@

GT3 is pure N/A around 430hp and 300 ish torque

price tag around $130g, GT 2 i believe is $180 g +


now the part im confused since i aint a huge fan boy of porsche..
how does GT2 compare against 911 turbo?

arent they both around the same price tag? $180g +?

GT2 MSRP is at about 240k+ currently.

GT3's new go for about 160k... GT3RS are about 180k

GT2= lighter turbo w/o awd and more power.


i still think the GT2 is usually bought just for bragging rights on the street.

Turbos are plenty enough for daily drivers, while GT3's are agressive street cars.

^

damn they jacked up the prices


where does 911 turbo fits in than?>

according to porsche canada


911 turbo MSRP $165g

500hp
0-100km 3.7 seconds
top speed 317km


GT3 $138g
435hp
0-100km 4.1 sec

GT3 RS $163g

somehow GT2 is NOT listed

911 carrera or Carrera 4 --> Carrera S or 4S --> GT3 --> GT3RS --> Turbo --> Turbo S --> GT2 --> GT2 RS

dont forget the cabrio and targa models for the regular 911, S and turbo models.


i dont think GT2's are officially in canada. MCL is willing to hook one up for customers if they shell out 240k (that was coming from a customer that came into weissach looking for one)

well engine wise

i guess it goes the order u put it

911 carrera or Carrera 4 --> Carrera S or 4S --> GT3 --> GT3RS --> Turbo --> Turbo S --> GT2 --> GT2 RS



so turbo version is greater than GT3, but GT2 is the almighty other than the CGT of course

pretty much.. dont forget the price too!



but the turbo and GT3 are two completely different approaches to 911.

GT3 has more personality... its a more raw of a car. it feels more.. special.

as for the turbo, its more of a comfortable daily driver that is more powerful than a regular 911.

ive driven both... and from an enthusiast stand point... GT3 > turbo when it comes to feel alone. the N/A 3.8 cars sounds wayyyyy better than the turbo cars.

as for daily, Turbo wins hands down.

all depends on what you want really. most people that buy 911's own/ have owned several.

you work at Weissach?

don't forget about the boxster.

also, someone needs to mention the gtr spec-v in this thread.

we are talking about porsche here, not GT RWARRR ok!!

;)

they are only making 95 GT2 RS world wide

less then 300 997.1 GT2 was sold in North America, and no more then 1000 world wide.

PDK might be available on the .2 GT2

im kinda creeped out that ur posting like this..

i also agree with hyde, as im not surprised the PDK transmission would be available on the 997.2 GT2RS.. that PDK transmission is slick!

So far, from what i heard amongst porschephiles, there is only one 997 GT2
around town. and its in black. owned by an older gentleman.


deathblossom// i used to. not anymore.

to make it simple it startes something like this

regular 911
911s - sportier
911 GT3 n/a race version
911 GT3 Rs n/a hardcore racer
911 turbo - everyday yet trackable
911 GT2 911 turbo but rwd
911 GT2 RS - turbo rwd hardcore racer

as described in top gear

But this is soooooooooooo expensive!! Why?? Yes it's fast, but with that price buying something like that, I rather get a turbo or GT3 and call it a day. I rather get a Lambo!

Lambos are a bitch to drive in the city imo..

Two reasons this car exists. Only no. 1 really, to be honest.

1. So the GT2RS is considered a "production car" for GT racing.
2. Alternative to male enhancement surgery.

You guys should be familiar with the script by now.

YAY ANOTHER 911 MODEL.

I wonder which block the new GT2 is gonna use... the original GT1 3.6 or the newer DI 3.8

^ i'd say it'd be the DI 3.8 most likely..

997.2 turbo has switched over to DI...... so why not for the GT2RS..??


998 is over the horizon.. i bet this GT2RS is the swansong model.. (ie murci SV)

dude, you can't look at the porsche line like that.....the gt cars are completely different beasts than the regular porsches. The GT cars are dumbed down race cars, not a souped up street car. GT cars are to Porsche, what M cars are to BMW.....some would say the GT3RS is the ultimate porsche....
