After serious consideration and seeing the new 997 GT3s in person,
I've decided the GT2 is a keeper for the following reasons:
1.I love the challenge of conquering the GT2 on the track.
2.I am addicted to the power output of the car. I am sure I will miss that
if I sell it.
3.Even though the GT3 has a more updated look, I still personally like the aggressive and wider look of a GT2s. Maybe the new GT2s will be appealing to me.
4.I bought the car pre-owned, so someone else already took the hit. We are all excited about the GT3s because Porsche has done a great job in pre- sales marketing, but after the first year.... we will see more of them around, just like the Turbos..
Anyway, if any of you had made a move to sell your GT2s to get the GT3s, have fun w/ your new rides!
I am sure some of you will give me the following advice:
Get a GT3 RS and keep the GT2!

A few of your points are why im leaning towards a few sick GT2's and not the 997 GT3, one would be the big hit in the first few months from a nicely optioned 997 GT3, and the power i would miss!
As much as i thought my 996TT was close to a GT2, i was sadly mistaken. The car is TOTALLY different, an absolute thrilling animal, tough deicison but either one will be amazing

I am in the same position as you. I have a 2003 GT2 and a spot for a RS and have been back and forth on what to do. I am waiting to see what the RS is like before I commit one way or the other (my wife's advice was get the RS then decide). Like you I am a track guy, but I have gone with a full time track car and a street car. Greatful to be in this position.
Enjoy your GT2 and hope to see you at the track sometime in SoCal.

Flynduc,
I do some private days at WS with small group (Jack from LA), also do some private test days there. Otherwise I am hitting the Club races for POC, PCA and PRC.
I think we have some common friends at GMG!

I agree 100% Thats why we are keeping our GT2 also..
You know now its funny how much respect the GT2 gets when you take it somewhere.. The people who know what it is .. Really do give it the respect it deserves.. I drive a modded turbo and its like oh thats a nice car.. Drive the GT2 and people on the road give you thumbs up....
I guess the right people know that the GT2 is not for mere mortals.......
