Maybe you can buy back your SY 2? I hear that it has gone through alot of, um, upgrades.

should be easy to get to 2800lbs. 3000 is easy without losing any functionality. If you truly strip the interior, 2800 should be cake.

Sorry, Watt, you won't find any 2003's that cheap (less than140) unless it needs work, has a less than reputable history or you've got a desperate and silly seller. GT2 Prices have stabilized and are going up. Pump and dump!

Watt, I think that's the way to go. Just send us 1 GT2 sometime this winter, plus some money and we will return to you a fully sorted lightweight GT2 sometime next summer. And it will be done right...all giddyup & no bling!

Perhaps retrofiting your CS paddle shifters/tranny, lexan engine cover and carbon fiber doors into the GT-2 might lower the weight. Losing the GT-2 wing and working on the GT-2 underbelly might also lose lbs..

Don't pound the F-car too hard in the hills; potential buyers are cautiously watching

Wattster: That should make it an even trade for your Stradale -- although my car is in better shape.

Well they did it for the GT3. It's called the GT3-RS.

Or for the US, there is the Ruf RGT-RS, which I guarantee you will pound the living **** out of a Stradale all day long.

I think with 400+ hp and <3000lb. weight, you don't need a GT2.

Hey Jack, I think it's time we pump the GT2 market.

To reward Watt's adultery from Porsche.
