OMG this thing is far better than I thought it would be now that I've driven it about a bit. How can 100Kgs and ~50lbft make such a difference? It's stellar. I'm certainly not going to be able to drive it very had in the wet, but in the hot sunny days we've had so far this week it's a little edgy but I don't think I'm feeling much slower than the turbo through the corners, in fact a little faster in due to the better front end performance just a bit more circumspect on the mid corner throttle.
Streaking away into the distance by comparison on the straights though
Brakes working fine but I'm not confident in them, they rumble slightly when they're hot...
Anyhow, in summary, the tits.
Remind me, why do people buy GT3s? lol.

Because they are different. Glad the GT2 floats your boat, but on mist UK roads, I'd get into a lot of trouble with a 2! I like listening to the 3 at 7,500 rpm too.
a GT3 at 7500 rpm has, in my opinion, the best "real world" car sound track out there.
hell, even sitting at idle and blipping the throttle it sound gorgeous
I can vouch for Supermono's comment ~ I'm a 35yo girlie, had all sorts of cars from Escort Cosworths, Subaru STi Type R's, umpteen 911's and finally, last week I just bought myself a 996 03 GT2. Yeah baby :-) ! Love the car to pieces!
Looking to get along to some Porsche or motorsport events this summer ...can anyone suggest any good ones??

Silverstone May 8th, still spaces www.goldtrack.co.uk/
will be a few GT2s RS etc.
Hmmm. After giving it a bit of a brush up I couldn't help taking out for a hurl.
I've noticed some oddness around the straight ahead position of the wheel. It's rock solid as soon as you start a proper turn in but pansying about it seems slightly vague and gets pulled a little one way and the other with ruts etc on less than perfect roads.
It had a geomoety setup before I got it and I doubt there's any wear. So is this normal?
Also, if you get on the power early in the turn it seems to want to understeer a bit before the *big* power causing the inevitable oversteer.
Still getting used to it though.
Tell you what, it's a proper beast and I LOVE IT!
