Antwerp is infamous around these parts
Hey Scott! (This is former M3_Ant)


All that and not one picture!?

It really is a great car, I happen to be one of the other lucky few to have had some time behind the wheel of one...

Gratuitous GT2 Pic of the one I was in...

Hey Ant,

Nice to see you here, bro. All I had was my camera phone which takes crappy pics...so I didn't bother.

It looks like another beast that you will be creating. I wonder if I can ever see Scott in a Prius
Alpine,

I wqs planning on having her shipped up, but I may take a trip down there when I get home just to see the shop and meet the guys. If I do, I'll be sure to hit you up.

IRT a Prius, sure...I'd drive one. As long as have a high HP beast in the garage to allow me to get my fix.

Sounds like your Z06 is going to be a monster!

I'll be anxious to follow the progress.

Scott,

great to hear about your Z06 plans (blown by MTI), and the fact that you were lucky
enough to drive a 997 GT2. There is only one in Minnesota and it is never out and about. Good stuff, thanks for sharing!

Marty

Can't wait to drive one as well.. One of the members over on Rennlist from Excellence mag, cannot stop raving about the amazing suspension geometry and dampening over the GT3/RS, says its absolutely PERFECT!

Yes..that's the BS video we were all talking about earlier in the thread. The 997 GT2 is faster than the C6 ZO6, but not nearly as much as that video implies.

Anything from best motoring is pretty much BS...

GT2 should be a car length ahead at around 100 mph...if you keep going...the z06 will top out and the gt2 will dominate but its pointless to go upto 180-190 mph unless your in sweden and have a runway to use

I say the GT2 is just ok. Every time I floor it, the passenger starts squirming and screaming about wanting out. That just isn't right. I can't watch cause the power is peeling my face back.

Only as a short sale, and they will finance up to 125% of the MSRP. Sound familiar?
