I have been researching the 996 GT2's lately and can't find a comprehensive list of the differences between the 2002/2003 model and the 2004 version. I do know that for 2004 there was a bump in HP from 456 (SAE) to 488 (DIN), but I don't know if that power increase was from bumping the boost up and little else, or was there more that Porsche changed to get there? Also, were there any other tweaks that Porsche made to other parts of the car, like suspension, DME, interior etc?

I have found a few 2004's for sale and also a 2005 up in Canada and I'm wondering if the price differential is worth it, or do I just go with a 2003...

Any of you guys that are GT2 wizards, if you could give me your take on these differences, I would appreciate it.

Thanks for the link, I really appreciate it. That's EXACTLY what I needed ....

 

You will find many 02's and 03's out there, you will rarely see a 04 (24 imported to North America) and 05's (6 Imported in to North America) for sale. There is definatley a price difference beteween the 02's and 03's vs. 04's and 05's.
The 02's and 03's are great cars, you will not notice the difference in performence (at least not seat of the pants).

 

Thanks LuisGT3... Nice that people here know their stuff..
