Hello guys.. Im new in here I really think your forum is the best Therefore, i do have a question..

Which is faster the 997 Turbo S or the 997 GT2 (NOT THE RS) ?

 

From standstill and low rolling speed the 997 turbo S will win...littel higher gearing the GT2 will win

 

In a drag race the pdk Turbo S would "win". In a road race I would put my money on the GT2, it's a street legal race car the other will never be.

 

There was a video posted previously of a stock 997.2 TT vs 997 gt2 vs modded zo6. The 997.2 TT badly ran away from the gt2 at various rolling speeds. I think a race on a road course would be close

 

not sure how to post videos here yet, but this is that video.

oh, look at that. goes right in.

 

Do we know the mods on each?

 

I believe, according to the video, they are both stock.

 

that looked to be a whole lot of pdk advantage

 

The GT2 has a tremendous suspension and tire advantage on a road course, plus the dry sump makes it a clear winner in any type of enduro event.

 

No question the PDK is faster in a straight line, perfect shifts, no loss of boost.

On the track, I'd bet that for 95%/more of drivers, the PDF and AWD would make the turbo faster. Even if the GT2 has more potential, I'd think it'd be harder to access for most drivers. Much as I prefer a 6 spd, when I drove the PDK at the school it was so much easier to drive on the track.

 

GT2 -----> for the old stick

 

The GT2 is real the Turbo is numb.

IMHO

 

listen to the boss

I think it depends on what you are looking for. For a track or occasional weekend car I would go for the gt2. For a daily driver or a car with more versatility (trips, kids in back, etc), I would pick the 997.2 TT.
I have a friend who is a pro driver who has driven the 997 TT S on the track and said it is very fast compared to many other exotics he tracked the same day.
I have driven the 997.2 TT S and IMHO paddle shifting in sport plus doing 0-100 in 6.3 sec is far from numb
