As long as you take the time to get the feel of the car with it's handling characteristics, anyone can drive a GT car as fast and virtually as safely as an awd car...

Look guys, the GT2 is not possessed or evil. It also happens to be a VERY well balanced car. The first magazine reviews decided they were going to call it difficult to drive and everyone just believed them. The 360 is RWD, you don't hear people saying that they are possessed.
It's just a car. It has to obey the laws of physics. If you understand those laws and how they apply to a RWD car then it will be a very rewarding experience.

Offroad35 - what are you talking about?
Like alamein said, there is little difference between the GT2 and the tt. Huge difference between an EVO and a tt.
The whole point of this post is why is the GT-2 values plummet. The reason they plummet IS BECAUSE THE GT-2 IS A BAD VALUE! Now, that does not mean it's a bad car, just a bad value!
Maybe answering this question will help, why does the GT-2 cost $70k more than a tt? Skipping $12 grand for bad PCCB brakes (maybe we should call it $90k difference because you need to replace the brakes on a GT-2).
Rokitman - maybe just cooling for the brakes, if not, fine, throw in bigger brakes and you still are below the cost of a GT2 with a much faster car.
