When I bought my TT I also drove the GT2 and GT3 because I was on the fence between the three cars. The day I scheduled for the test drives turned out to be rainy and this showed me that the TT was the better car/tool for what I wanted to do. The level of driver ability and concentartion to get the max out of the GT2 is way higher than the TT.
On the track my modded TT hangs right with the modded GT2's and if the weather is less than ideal I'm faster. Got to love the AWD. For me the GT2 would be cool to have but as Buddyg says mod the TT and smoke them all. Besides your car sounds like it is well sorted out and set up very nicely for what you wnat to do.
So no matter what you decide you are in a good position
One more thought the new GT3 Cup is only $156,000 and that is a full track car.

Therefore, since I live in a place that has no rain, I am a big GT2 fan and am looking forward to getting my hands on a 997 GT2, but not for $250,000. At that price, I will just mod my 996TTS.

For the $115k price difference, you can spend $15k in upgrades PLUS buy a Ferrari 360 to snag some biotches with

There is a guy here that bought the only one destined for our country, he bought a 997TT trip last OCT and I smoked him with my car, so he sold it after 2 weeks and now that GT2 is my next challenge... I have been looking at numbers and accordimg to everything it shouldnt even be close between the two cars, hope I am right...

Sure the 997GT2 is an amazing car but $240-250.000 for it, I would keep my TT and get a RED 360 Spider or 997TT CAB w/mods or a Murci or a Green Full Moded GT3RS (like Fred's) or why not a 360CS.

I'm not trying to be cocky. But comparing the the prices between the 997tt and the GT2 and saying just mod the 997tt to make it faster than the GT2, is kinda like saying buy a the new Skyline GT-R and save money.
I look at it like this.
I would not compare the 997 GT2 to the 997tt. Instead I would compare the 997 GT2 with say a Ferrari 430 and say to myself I am saving money by not buying the Ferrari. Get the GT2, if you can.

I can only tell you that I had the new GT2 on order and decided to forego the new car to undertake my current project. The real question is, what will you do when they come out with the next bag of tricks. Until there is a substantial change in engineering that we cannot duplicate with modded cars, then buying the new GT2 makes no sense to me.
