stupid quesiton: GT..GT2..GT3 difference?

Please answer anyway.
I understand the GT is definitely different looking from the standard 911. It is suppose to be a higher performance car.

I am not so clear on the GT2 vs GT3. Is the GT3 a watered down GT2? what is the main difference? Then I understand there is the GT3 vs GT3rs.... what is the difference here?
thanks for explaining...

google or search is your friend.
You have a nice collection... pick up the brochure next time you're in for service.

But Daytona hit the essentials...

Now I Am Confused

Daytona did a nice job of outlining the differences between the GT-2, GT-3, and GT3-RS, but where does the Ford Econoline Van fit in the equation? I know the RS is supposed to be more of a driver's car than the van but do the suspensions and brakes also differ? What about cigarette lighters? Does one perform better than the other? Sorry for all the questions, just looking for some clarity.

To make it more confusing, the GT3 is entered in the GT2 class of Lemans
