I don't have a great answer as to why I have both. Prob a combo of mid-life crisis, being spoiled and being enamored with the new-new thing.

I know what you mean. I bought a 97 993tt to keep the miles off the 997tt, now I am looking at a 964 to take the track miles off of both of them. Before it happens, I need to construct a Garage-Mahal.

I hope your GT2 is faster. You paid 3X for it. What about versus a stock TT?
BTW, how do you know if the GT-R driver was any good at the track?
Well if he's piloting a GT2 then maybe he's not as scared of the TT as some people and his results would show differently than yours.

Come on HC, is that all you got? Borderline ad hominem?
When I said the TT was intimidating, I was being self-deprecating and modest (you should try it). I get around the track OK-- certainly I am comfortably competitive in the category of non-racing non-pro enthusiasts who buy and track street cars.
Let he who can push a Turbo or GT2 to the limits of the platform at 10/10ths and not have any pucker factor be the first to call me a Girlie Man.

12 GT-R's, most modded to some extent, some pretty heavily modded, cool weather and a hot shoe or two.

Not one lap at Steve Millens 1:56.9 closest time was .8 slower with a GT-R with suspension, aero (a big wing), non-stock alignment, and exhaust and someone who can really wheel a car.
You can hype Millen as much as you want to, but we've seen from the magazine results that he's no faster than anyone else in any other cars. And that includes mag editor drivers, who have actually been faster than him in the same car (except the GT-R).
So once again I tell you, either that lap time was a lie, or Millen sandbagged REALLY badly. And R&T posted all kinds of laps of him going around the track except the fastest one.
Go figure.
(This will bring the fanboys a runnin)
