Ari - agreed. 997.2 PDK is probably the ultimate no drama fast car, but the prices are too much for me right now since I'm keeping my GT2.

Thats how I feel about my current car, looking to switch things up now. GTR is a great car, if you need a another recommendation for a tune, give Jack Cecil a call at HP logic. He has some of the fastest tunes around.

They don't seem to 60-130 all that well from what I've seen. I think of the GT-R as much better dig cars than roll-on cars. At least that's my impression so far.

Scott, you are 100% right, they aren't very good 60-130 cars....but with a tune, MP and DP, those things are SICK 0-100

Scott, glad you chose a GT-R as the DD. Switching between the 997.2TT PDK and GT-R, I feel that they are so similiar and compatible that for a guy like you who already owns a Porsche 911, there would be no point getting another one since you already enjoy the Porsche experience. GT-R is just as good as the PDK in most instances, just the PDK is like a perfected version of the GT-R.

Call up Neil Switzer for a good deal on more power with identical stock driving habits and no headaches. At least...that is a good starting point lol.

Congrats and wise decision for a stable mate for your monstrosity of a Porsche.

GT-R is definetly better from a dig then a roll. My friend just picked up a silver 09, stock for now. I'll try playing with it after I replace my clutch...

Nice pick up! My friend has one that is modded (I believe HKS 570 components), full exhaust, ICs, Cobb tune, and Meth...and that car pulls hard!
