Drove GT2 today

My friend stopped by and we went for a drive. I actually drove most of the time. Unf#$%believable!

Feels like a GT3RS on super steroids. Exhaust sounds like a 997TT but slightly louder. Quieter than a GT3RS. Rides similarly but rear tires very meaty.

Controls, pedal, and steering effort and feel are similar to the RS.

New seats are very racy and great looking. Firm and absolutely clamps you in place. Love their looks.

Handling is similar but grip level is higher than RS. Brakes are same as RS with PCCB.

Engine feels docile up to 3000. Beyond that, it picks up speed very quickly. Beyond 5000, its insane. At 6500, I ran out of road and had to slow down. Can't imagine what it would be like at redline with a broken-in car and the correct octane (car was filled with at most 91 octane). It was like a never-ending streak of increased acceleration. There are few roads around me where I can floor it for more than a few seconds without some risk of traffic or cops.

Overall, incredible grip and crazy thrust.

One can drive this with medium throttle at under 4K and it feels like a normal Porsche. Go with a heavy foot and beyond 5K and its an out-of-this-world experience. Unbelievable!

We are gonna go get a tank of 100 tonight and have another go.

Motor Trend was not exaggerating!

mk_LI is infamous around these partsmk_LI is infamous around these parts
My GT2 has now 1300km

My opinion:
- Handling is similar to an GT3 / GT3RS.
- The Brakes are incredible.
- The engine has much more power than an GT3
- The GT2 is not comparable to TT

I'm really happy with my car!
