I'm not a big fan of the early 997, but the GT2 is an absolute masterpiece. It's good looking, fast, and still has that raw feeling to it.

911 GT2 competition
hostboy 3y ago
It was underrated at that level. Technically it could reach C6 ZR1 and Mk2 Viper SRT10 levels of power, but it wouldn't have passed emissions in Europe until the release of the RS version, so Porsche understated it to be "officially" in the league of C6 Z06 and Mk1 Viper SRT10, even though we all knew it was competing with the Ferrari 430 Scuderia and Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera!
With that being said, Porsche finally lifted the "official" power restrictions on production cars starting with this particular car. That's why I will always love the 997 generation, especially of the Turbo, GT3 and GT2 varieties.
Porsche did the same thing with the GT3 at that time, capable of C6 Z06 and Mk1 Viper SRT10 levels of power (even in independent road tests without modifications) but underrated "officially" at C6 Grand Sport and Maserati GranTurismo levels of power.
To be fair however, the 911 is more of a Nissan GT-R and Aston Martin Vantage/DB competitor. The Corvette, Viper and GranTurismo all aren't exotic or high-quality enough to match the 911 even when they're so "good" performance-wise.

This time the 0-150 and 1/2 mile kinda fit. 0-150 and 0-151 both in 18.0, yeah, maybe the car accidentally went downhill? Still pretty impressive!

The Fastest 0-300 Kph For This Car is 34.0 Secs,Source ; AMuS,I Think That 0-300 Kph in 33.0 Secs is a Factory Claim.

Did porsche cancel the 2011/200K 550hp GT2? Can\'t find any info on an upgraded 550hp 2011 GT2 from the previous 530hp GT2. Anyone?
777 16y ago
i thought porsche announced a facelift for the 2011 GT2 by bumping the HP from 530 to 550??

@ sal: Actually, you've got a very good point. The politicians have f--ked things up pretty badly over here. I spent a year living in california a while back, it was pretty good.
