RonyGT2 will become famous soon enough
My next car after my 996 GT2 and my 911 (964) will be a 993...

I allways look at the 997 gt2 but its to expensive and I will loose too much money with it!

The price for a 996 Gt2 will not fall any more! I have mine for two years now and there was no movement.

Also the price for the 993 will rise!

The Gallardo looks good but after a porsche its a step back! It drives heavy and feels not really quick around corners! and its not relieable!

the GTR is to big and heavy...

When your talking about human beings I still think the younger sister is an upgrade!

But since we are talking about mechanical parts that wear out from use over time. A part that's 10 years newer is an upgrade hence the reason when parts fail due to them being worn out, you replace them with their "younger sister" and usually when you replace that part your upgrading.

^ 100% agree.
the 997tt is a perfected (and actually good looking) 996tt.

+1.

Thinking about getting a 996 GT2... But really havent figured out what I actually "need"

Also for me its always been 993>996>997 Dont get me wrong, 997 has great styling but I am more of a raw operator. If that makes any sense.

My turbo is staying. But I just did add a lambo murci. In the future, I can see me trading in the murci for a aventandor.

Hmm. Doesn't the shape and design of the Caddy makes you suddenly wake up at night with a real nightmare?? It's like.. WE ARE RIGHT... say after me .. we are right.. this is how a Caddy should look like. Perhaps to turn out as the next Urban vehicle. Look East Grasshopper... Make a trip to Italy... Have a look... Even the Koreans and the Chinese are getting it.
