Hi all. Have been spending most of my time on the Lambo forums. Just bought an 08 GT2 and awaiting delivery this weekend. Last Porsche I had was a '78 SC that I sold in early 80s. Spent a ridiculous amount of time on this forum reading all I could about the caveats of the GT2 vs the 2011 TTS I initially was going to buy. Couldn't get past the mystique and relative rarity of the GT2 so we will see how it goes. The car will be replacing my 08 Superleggera that I sold last year. The Porsche seems similar to the Lambo in some respects: harsher ride than the standard, lots of alcantera, CCBs. I am not much of a track guy, just enjoy driving on the weekends with the occasional daily drive to work when I feel like it. Will post some pics when it arrives. Here is a pic of its garage mate though.

Congrats!!! 1 of 185 - yes!!!

Thanks. Didn't know it was that rare. Really looking forward to the delivery truck.

Ok here are some lousy I phone pics to start. Have driven it for a couple days now. It is incredibly fast relative to the heavy diablo. With the sport adaptive seats the ride is pretty good. Not nearly as rough as mentioned here on the forum.
