How about a Bugatti Veyron?

Unique look... and very exclusive.

Might satisfy your need for speed.

If not, then the 997.2 GT3 RS would be my choice.

Gotcha. Then maybe the .2tt(S) pdk...afterall you are used to a very fast accelerating car in your GT2. The gt3 rs is beautifull and sounds great but you may crave the acceleration of the turbo after a while. Get both if money is no issue tho.

Well if it will be a daily car, I would have a GT-R actually since you have the GT2. Otherwise, 997.2 GT3RS

GTr is a good suggestion if money is an issue but i dont think that is the case here. Going by all motoring reviews the gtr is a monster but very hard to live with as a daily drive car as its gearbox is clunky and it rides way too hard. Hard to see out the side and rear windows too wheras the P has better visability. The gt3 rs rides better, looks better and is a P and while maybe not as fast in a straight line would be the better pick over a gtr all day long plus then there is resale value etc. Not saying the GTR is a bad car.....just not a P, and it never will be.

Of course it is not. But my advice is based on that he already owns the best of 911. If he didn't, then my advice would be 997.2tt anytime over a GT-R

No sweat. And as a daily driver with creature comforts the .2tt wins hands down. Now if the track was to be a consideration then the GT3RS would be the weapon of choice .

Nasser, you got the hardcore setup for the track in the GT2, so you shouldn't even think about the GT3RS.

Your GT2 is far superior to the 997.2 in terms of acceleration and handling, basically overall feel so don't even bother there.

I would wait for the new 918 super car from Porsche. Or if you can't wait, go for the 998 TT/GT2 which is coming out in a few months.

If i could go back in time, i'd definately pick the manual 997.2 .. the car is a success out of the box!
