As of now the forums for 996's are as follows :

I have recieved many emails with different ideas -

1st idea was to change the forums to as follows :

996/ GT3 forum

and

996 TT/ Gt2 forum

or

2nd idea was :

996 forum

996 TT forum

Gt3/Gt2 forum

I personally like the idea of option 1 - please vote thanks!

like the idea of grouping GT cars together.

maybe it should be "GT1/GT2/GT3/CGT forum"

Since all the cars have similar parts, etc. why not just have one forum for all three.

Darren,

I think you need to change the first voting option to:

996/GT3 and 996TT/GT2

You left out "TT"

Agreed, I think you need a naturally aspirated forum and a TT forum

I vote for 996/GT3 and 996TT/GT2; the reason being is that the first type is naturally aspirated, the second isn't.

Duane, Darren and Shank, please move the GT2's to the same forum as the GT3's. The GT2's need to have a forum where they can build up their confidence

On the serious side, the GT2 people seem to want to be on the GT3 board. Nothing wrong with that. Besides, I want to see Tyson pass me on a track with my training wheels on.

My opinion is that the naturally aspirated cars need to be grouped together and the turbo cars need to be grouped together. The turbo guys (TT and GT2) get into turbo conversations regularly and that is something that the normally aspirated crowd couldn't give two hoots about.
I have always tended to think of the GT2 and TT as more similar and the GT3 and the 996 as more similar.

Ken,

Wouldn't you agree the GT2 guy's should be where they want to be? All the ones I have heard from want to be on the GT3 board.

This poll is getting ridiculous. Why not people that own GT cars vote. That last thing GT3 owners want to discuss is glitz, glam and bling items like cf, new body parts and 19" wheels....Please don't take any offense 996 owners, because if I owned one, I would be interested in the same things. As a GT owner, those things are of very little interest....

The only thing a GT2 has in common with a TT is the turbo set up. Everything else if different from a handling/performance standpoint...There is much more in common with a GT2 and a GT3 than a GT2 and TT. There is even less in common with a GT3 and a 996. It's a very simple concept...GT owners want to have there own forum to discuss issues that are unique to our cars.

Eric and Amir you are not reading the first option correctly

2 forums for 996 cars

1 being 996/gt3 = (996 and 996GT3)

the other being 996 TT/gt2 = (996 TT and 996GT2)

Anything but "996 forum 996 TT forum Gt3/gt2 forum"

I like the the GT2 guys in the Turbo forum, and the fact that both cars are turbocharged is a major relationship.

Eugene, perhaps you should ask the GT2 owners how they feel about it....People who decided to buy GT cars bought them for very different, albeit twisted reasons. Just because they would not be in the TT forum does not mean they won't participate in the TT forum...

The GT3 forum is pretty dead by all accounts and the solution is not too add 996 banter to it. It was that way on R List, until the brilliant solution, by Watt I might add came up with the idea of creating a seamless GT car forum...
