GT2 arrives home!

After a week on a truck, its home now and gotten a little bit cleaned up.

Drove it last night in the canyons with virtually no traffic. What a blast!

Feels so responsive both in terms of acceleration and steering. Clutch is very hard and so is the steering. Those cup tires are just amazing and grips like crazy. Suspension is stiff but compliant. Rebound is very fast. Car truly feels like an extension of oneself with very little filtering of the outside in terms of noise, road surface, etc. Very different than my 997TT. The turbo feels like a fast Mercedes compared to the GT2. Totally different application. The Turbo is a much better daily driver and the GT2 is way more fun to drive in a spirited manner.

Needless to say, I am ecstatic!

Sorry, but gotta go drive now.

Pics are here. (Sorry that I did not post here, but this site makes me upload each pic one at a time and the other site can do it ten at a time.)

Terrence, congrats! Fantastic addition to the stable! Black seems to be a very popular color with the 997 GT2......both in the U.S. and in Europe.

Here are the pix, gentlemen.

That is the hotness right there, I love the GT2 in Black with black wheels and yellow stitching. Congratulations on your new acquisition, the car is a beaut and I do hope you enjoy it in the best of health.
