Gt2 over TT?

I have a white tt on order (April delivery), but my dealer told me they got delivery of a white GT2 recently and offered me to take a look at it. I got a fairly good discount ( %10 ) on my TT, maybe i could get one on that too, but I don't know yet. GT2 is white with black interior, not much options, sport chrono, phone module, dimming mirrors and rain sensors, park assist and bose. It's generally going to be a weekend drive, but sometimes i may have to use it daily. What about the safety issues for an average driver like me? RWD is better for me than AWD, or not?

What you guys think?

I doubt you're going to even close to sticker on the GT2. Dealer markups are more than the GT3 RS.

You’re in a nice position. Some dealers can’t get them or won’t sell them even if you’re standing there cash in hand.

GT2, it feels more connected and Raw in comparison to the fast yet more comfortable Turbo.

I don't know if I could get the discount. I got good relationship based on years with my dealer, so he is going to do the best he can. But i realize it's tough odds.

Nobody comment about driving, comfort, etc..?

10% is a very good deal, that is about $15K? They told me $3K is the best they can do... Al the power to you!

Who can resist a GT2 w/ park assist? Isn't that the number one must have option?
