I know, I thought cjv was trying to say that GT2 will be a more fun car always because it can turn better, but I was pointing out that OKAJOON's definition of "fun" was solely speed.

The turbo's extra 400 lbs take much of the fun factor away from any comparison, straightline or curves. No amount of extra hp will be able to hide the extra fat. Likewise, can you imagine what happens to the GT2's fun factor if you add a 400lb passenger in it?
The AWD is the next thing that saps the fun. Too many moving parts underneath. It's like running with shackles.

Besides, I didn't say anything about "taking". Fun is a subjective matter. A lighter car is always more fun to me. I have more fun in a Boxster than a TT. Fun can't be measured by numbers.
