That was a very interesting comparison. I never would've guessed that outcome. I don't think you can really go wrong with either.

 

Love the english carpress for their aproach on sportscars. Therefore love the final conclusion too.
Trying to argue one car over the other is a bit pointless as it really comes down to (driving-) taste. Sure the GT2 is also a great car in overall dynamics, but in the end it apeals more to the straightlineracer (sorry for that guys ) that likes to go through the gears as fast as possible and enjoys the turbopunch.
To me turbopunch feels somewhat artificial and I love the purer feel of natural aspirated engines (sound, revband, throttleresponse).
But, to each his own. Lets be thankful that we do get offered the choice.

 

I think the title of the thread is a bit over-dramatized, but I can understand where they are coming from and they make it clear why. But to strike fear in the hearts of people when you get on the track, that GT2 on the back of the car carries a lot more weight, since we are dealing with artistic impressions over pure unadulterated brute force.

 

Thanks for posting, enjoyed the article.

 

in the hands of a true driver either car will perform...........

 

Yes, but one better than the other.

 

lol if a tv show and magizine says so it must be true!!!! and the corvette is better than the the 3 because i read that to!!!!!!!! lmaooooooo.

 

It isn't always about more power

 

Since details are scarce, especially independent test on the GT2, my question is this: Does the GT3/RS actually handle/have more grip than the GT2 - givin that the GT2 driver is not on the throttle? The GT3/RS weighs slightly less, GT2 has wider rear tires, but I'm not sure about suspension setup.

I do see the point they make though...

 

really?

 

i would personally rather take a GT3 RS over a 997 GT2
nothing like NA power reving to 8000+ RPMS..

 

What I'm talking about has nothing to do with a magazine. The GT2 will destroy the GT3, it was built having to do so, or not be worth the money. I think you got me confused with the GT3 fanboys, I'd take the GT2 every day of the week. But for 200k I had sure better want it that way.

Now performance/$ the GT3 is the best showroom car on the planet IMO. Corvette's arent trustworthy (at least not nearly on the same level), and vipers need some refinement, other than that, there is no option for me.

 

I would think the GT3 would have more grip. Less weight, less power, higher revving, much less torque, so it's much easier to put all of the power to the ground. But that wont stop it from getting beaten, the GT2 will just take more skill to drive.

 

the brits are crazy... and I should know.
