Keeping my GT2
For the past few months, I have been tempted to buy a GT3 or a GT3RS to eventually replace my GT2 ( heavily mods both supension,tranny and engine).
I am a track guy and I like the normally aspirated GT3 , especially the more agressive RS. It is definitely a very cool track car! My GT2 has so much more power, but is still a turbo- power is not as linear.
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!

Keep it...the 996 GT2 and GT3 are the last pure Porsche's...electronics on the newer units may help an average driver drive faster on the track...but when your good, I don't think they will be an advantage and could be a hinderance (ie:TC) for the advanced driver.

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.
