GT2- Good luck in your search. There are people that are willing to help you out like vincentdds, Mc3cab,etc. but proably best if you do a little research first.
Don't worry about Hotrod guy - He's no help when I was looking for a porshce (Multiple owner) or asking his only response was stupid and he recommended I should get a miata. He's never owned a porsche or never will. Let the flames begin because the surf is up!!!!

A very valid point is that unless you have owned some high powered rear-wheel drive cars, the GT2 is not for you. You "may" kill yourself (or somebody else) it it. They demand respect! (Not unlike a modded Viper,
or 700 HP Supra as an example). My TT has alot of Nanny stuff on it and it
helps in the variety of driving scenarios I may find myself in...Rain, snow
(like today), etc. You could be Hurley Haywood for all we know but your
questions do not make that a likely guess.

Good luck and be smart,

Marty

What does research have to do with your questions? They are just parts of the car that are explained in the manual. Like where to put the brake fluid, washer fluid, access the battery, tools, tire inflator, where the VIN is located, etc. Geez, I am feeling pain too!

Here is a real GT2 trunk......

I do agree that GT2s questions seem fairly basic for someone that is wanting to purchase and DRIVE one of the most raw cars in Porsche's stable. I have driven one fairly hard in track conditions and it does need to be treated with respect (though it communicated with the driver so well that it can be pushed very hard, very quickly). However, it seems that it may be GT2's first P-car, and unless he is a fairly experienced driver, this may not be the best car to learn on.

They also require MUCH more discipline on the right foot than a lot of cars...

Someone like Hotrod just doesn't have a chance to own a Porsche and just keep telling people to back off, that's sad.

Yes this topic is not a research question, but what's so funny? I don't have the manual and I want to know what's inside the trunk. Anyway, your pic is helpful.

So, the GT2 is the one for you but you don't know what the top of a windshield washer reservoir looks like?

You sound confident enough. You should be fine then. Do try to find the time to learn how to drive it properly on a race track. There really isn't a good way to figure out this car on public streets...it's now known as "Widowmaker" for nothing...

helpful? I am at a loss here... do you have any idea how much effort it took to prepare that trunk in Garret's Gt2... that's not helpful....that my friend is the essense of the GT2..... the answer to all the questions you have been asking and then some... and you missed it. dude.... the gt2 may or may not be the car for you, I dont know and wouldnt presume to know your abilities.... but I would venture to say you ought spend some time in the drivers seat and edumacate urself before declaring Gt2 is the car for you...
