It accepts the larger files. Trying to read that makes my head hurt- I'm a Photobucket customer too- wish they had larger file capability.
Aargh, too much login info needed, no patience

Here's the written piece in higher def....

The question I have is why buy the GT2 for over $200,000 when you can get a base 997TT for around $130,000 and spend another $11-15000 for RUF modifications which would increase the hp to 550? With AWD most drivers would do faster times around the track in a RUF TT than in a GT2 despite the favorable weight difference the GT2 has.

Because you can play with this car, not have to mod ONE thing. Still have your warranty, and then sell it for close to what you paid, this car will hold value pretty well, of course, that's if you can get one for MSRP.

Car looks a bit bland and a lot like the GT3....not that the GT3 is bland. But for the price of this GT2, you can ger a F430 (if you find one), or a GT3 along with a Cayenne Turbo and some cash left over.

Those seats are awesome, I can't wait to see them in person. The US for some reason, has a lame law that prohibits fixed seatbacks (one piece) to be delivered by the manufacturer unless the seats are against a back wall. That's why the US spec GT3/RS's don't come with them like they do in other markets. The back wall is why the CGT was allowed to have fixed seatbacks. These seats are definitely a great compromise and you can tell were built for the demanding US market.

Thanks for that info. I always assumed it was some type of airbag issue.
