Who's "GT2RS"?

Does this car belong to anyone on here? It's hard to tell from the pic, but it had an entire body CF wrap. If it does belong to someone here, what are the details on the car? I'm guessing it's a Turbo and not a GT2 because, no offense to the owner, but nobody who owns a GT2 would try to pass it off as a GT2RS since anyone who knows what a GT2 even is (as opposed to a Turbo) knows that there was no such thing as a 996 GT2RS and anyone who doesn't know there was no such thing as one, doesn't even know what a GT2 is and how rare they are to begin with. They'd just think, oh that's a nice looking Porsche and not even know it's turbo'd It does look nice though. I like the 997 GT2 inspired bumper, anyone know who makes it? Also, I think the 997 Turbo wheels look pretty good blacked out and painted like that. Though I have to say the Porsche badge on the fenders in red...well I guess that's a matter of opinion. Anyway, does this car have as much bite as it does bark, what's in the engine bay?

Definitely not a GT2 unless they went out of their way to swap decklids with a turbo.

Rebadging a vehicle is a bad thing.

It's always a pleasure to read threads that are belittling people and their choices, oh what a supportive, friendly community we have here on 6speed!!! I especially love the “No offence to the owner” part, then telling them what a loser they are..............

So the guy puts a wrap on the car and badges it a GT2 RS, so what. He hasn’t put on anything that cannot be removed, and it still keeps with the look of a 997 GT2 (minus the wiper), so I say good effort!

Actually, I look at the car and say WOW this guy must love his car and has spent a lot of time, money and effort in getting it to look how he wants it. Well done, but you can’t really comment any further on how well the car looks as the photograph posted (No offence to the photographer) is crap (just keeping to the theme).
