Wow! I never saw it for sale? Whose was it and what were they asking for it? You have a link to the for sale ad?

Congratulations...2 gorgeous cars for sure!

I'm eager to hear your driving comparisons, particularly since you went a fair way towards prepping your 996TT for road racing duties and made it a bit GT2 like. It would be nice to hear how they compare, not just a stock versus stock comparison.

If I were in the market now, I'd be *VERY* interested in your Turbo. What a nice car!

Thanks!

My initial impressions are:
heavily modded turbo = hockey player on steroids
stock GT2 = speed skater

They both do the same 'thing' but feel totally different, and GT2 will fall over if you don't pay attention around a corner.

I'll write a big comparison in a new post when I get time.

It would be really cool to keep both as the 996TT is faster than the GT2 but I didn't win the powerball last night so it's gotta go.

White GT2 = Dream Car... hell the white 996TT would've been for me as well. Congrats on the new purchase! Sorry you have to let the TT go!

They look great together. Too bad you have to separate them. Maybe you can transplant some of the goodies from the TT to the GT2 to make it faster.
GT2s are super SEXY and they look great in White. I might have to have mine wrapped…

Steel PFCs for HPDE
Piper half cage and some Recaros that will accept 4pt ASM belts
Maybe a numeric shifter

Maybe some sick GMG Mono blocks?? Wink wink

Thanks! Hah, I'm already at work -- no drivebys today

What're you guys working on? GT2 will be at Raja's getting clearbra installed. I could bring over the Turbo though.

Front bumper removal to clean out the leaves. Nothing sexy. All Porsches are welcome! Not just GT2's
