What exactly is the GT2 built for?
for the street, people get the carrera or carrera S. where more power is desired, you get a turbo. for the track, its the GT3, want more, get the RS, want all out racer, get a cup car.
what exactly is the GT2's intended use?
everyone agrees NA is the way to go for the track and the 3 is more fun and involving to drive than the 2.
that leaves street driving where Edmunds and a couple of GT2 owners i have spoken to say the 2 is not a comfortable street car.
for highway pulls, you can get a turbo to incredible power levels,
So, who buys the GT2 and why?
not knocking the car, just here to learn.

There are lots of GT2's on the track though, not everyone is satisfied with the limited potential of the GT3, nor wants the high maintenance of a cup car, or the watered down Turbo. The GT2 is all of the above shoved into one car.

I bought it for 80/20 or 90/10 street/track use. I love the FI power on the streets, but didn't much care for the heavy GT feeling of the TT. I love the light front end of the RWD GTx cars and the ride is actually not bad at all for daily driving. If I was going to spend more time on the track w/ it I would have gone GT3 and had it been 100% street I would have gone TT. It's a niche product, and I wouldn't have bought it at MSRP, but an 08 at 400 miles and a 25% discount, I couldn't pass it up.

Walter Rohrl called the 997 GT2 the "best" Porsche out there. I'm sure he is referring to its capabilities on the track, although he posted a slightly faster time at the 'Ring in the Carrera GT.

If you have to ask why then youll never get it! (kidding)
It is an interesting question you ask...and lots of good answers here...but i particularly like the "grocery getter for enzo owners" the best!
