Video new videos: Porsche 911 GT2 and Ferrari 430 Scuderia

Now the question, which would you pick? I haven't quite made up my mind, although I'm leaning towards the Porsche, especially with the colour of this 430...

430 Scuderia or 997 GT2

The Ferrari is quite impressive, but I'll go Porsche every time! The 997 GT2 is definitely in contention to be one of the best 911's of all time.

Yes, Porsche > All.

I have to say though, I saw a 996 GT2 on my way home from work today (which is a fairly rare car to see in Canada), and it just looks more agressive and raw...anybody else agree?

If I was given a free choice between the two. (in my dreams offcoarse)
I would take the 430 Scuderia, sell it, than buy the 997 GT2 and pocket the difference.

I think there will be quite a hefty price difference. My guess - the 430S will be in the mid 300's at least (not sticker but what you can buy it at)..

The GT2 will be a better performer - but if I had the choice money no object - I would take the 430S. Or as others suggested sell the 430S and get a GT3 and a GT2 (may have to throw in a little cash - but not much!)

No doubt, the 996 GT2 is an amazing machine too...I like both the 996 and 997 GT2's, so I have no idea which I would rather own. As for the 996 looking more aggressive, I think I will disagree. To me the 997 GT2 looks more aggressive, mostly due to the rear valence. Having said that, this is part of the reason why I do appreciate the 996 GT2 so much...To the untrained eye it could be mistaken for an "average" Porsche and only true enthusiasts can recognize the amazing car that it is!

Thanks for the welcome...and no that isn't my car, wish I could say it was though!

Awesome. I find the 997 rear more aggressive, but the front of the 996 more so.

I love how Walter looks like he's creeping in rush hour traffic but he's going mach & pitching it sideways. I like the Scuderia, but I'll take the GT2 if I have too...wait...I actually will.
