You think? Everyone says it would be much easier to stick an auto tanny in there cause its a 3.6 and a tip would bolt right up to it, iwas thinking the same *** you at first, but the whole job started to seem crazy.

Of course. Even if the tranny is bolt on, there are so many other things to change. And I doubt fitting a 4wd system is easy.

As I said, buy a tiptronic 997tt, get a complete gt2rs bodykit, lighten it up around 200 pounds and that's it. This is not an easy job also, but piece of cake compared to the other And I don't even compare the costs.

This. With the amount of efforts you are putting into GT2RS for AWD + Tiptronic, you are much better off TT with mods IMO.

I have a tt tip, Switzer R911, i love it, but i always wanted that gt2, then the rs came out and i started realy thinking this just might be possibe. if there is anyone with any real tech knowledge that could chime in that would be great, i lost 5k depo i put down on a gt silver one, i was going ahead with it before actualy doing my home work, i thaught it has to be possible so i jumped the gun, then took a loss on the depo.

Fair enough. But that still doesn't explain the conversion to AWD. And please don't tell me it's the snow in Canada. If that's the case, then I say again, don't butcher a great sports car.

I have spoken with Emre already about doing exactly that, if this is not an option i will buy the whole gt2 rs kit like you guys in turkey, Emre sent me pictures of your guys cars and all the gt2 conversions hes done. I will do the Switzer R911 car if this is not an option.

I have no balance from the chest down, i cant counter steer with 2 hands, 1 hand always has to be on the hand control for throtle and brake, kinda hard to explain with out seing the hand control, but a high hp rear wheel drive car is not for me lol, ill kill myself within a week. I already have a tt tip, i want a gt3 rs that i keep for ever, i know it sounds crazy but its somethimg iv wanted for ever. And 911 seem to be the only tru sports car that has room for my wheelchair, other wise i would something else, ferrari or something diffrent, but i still love my 997.
