The biggest difference between the two is AWD versus RWD. The automatic whether Tiptronic or PDK has limitations on the amount of HP they will handle. It is a general consensus that the TIP will handle more but that the PDK shifts quicker so with lets say 50-70 extra HP the PDK will surpass the TIP. Beyond that no one has really been able to push the PDK higher than that and the TIP will handle more HP. The GT2 can be modded to much higher HP levels as it is a stick shift and the only limiting factor is the clutch but recent product releases allow for levels in excess of 1000 HP. I think I got this right but it is best to consult a professional such as Champion or others.

how can you even compare the two? start with the trannys.....Automatic vs a proper manual, the former widow makers vs a GT car. AWD with lots of electronics vs RWD with some drive aid, a bloated pig vs a lightweight, tailhappy, powerful track car.....


what are your goals? going straight in a fast line without having to worry about driving? Sounds like a 997 turbo is perfect for you

GT2 is an involved driving experience at all times.....if you have to ask just go for the AWD turbo


and a GT2 will walk a turbo at high speed all day (assuming both stock) a turbo does not have better aerodynamic qualities than a gt2
