Pretty sick...My friend has an '05 GT3...I wonder if he's gonna be pissed when he sees this - probably already has. This thing looks way better than the '05s.

I can't wait for the 997 GT2...talk about BALLZ OUT.

I wonder when we can get some of that variable turbine tech in the aftermarket. either way I think my next fast car is going to be a 997 turbo.

Does anybody know the price of that turbo? Not the GT3, but the other one? My dad is shopping and I wanna try to get him to take a look at this.

No 997 GT2? Are you positive about that? I've heard they are and it will have close to 90-100 more HP/TRQ than the previous...

That'd be unfortunate if they don't...because the new 997 turbo is basically at GT2 power levels.

I originally started this thread in Off-Topic section. One of the members said they are not making the GT2 in America. So probably they will make it elsewhere.

Heh, he's watching the vid right now. I gotta try to convince him this is the right deal. He wasn't impressed with the last twin turbo he drove because it was too refined, not raw enough. I hope Porsche got this one right, I'd love to get behind the wheel for a sec...
