IMO, Porsche had the right idea/concept with the GT2 lighter,RWD more power/more skill required by the driver.
more of the car to compete with gallardo/430 because as the 997 turbo will prob out perform both of those cars (hopefully) it really is a much different car.
the problem with the GT2 was Price to some extend, but more so too close to the other turbo/turbo S. If porsche had put the same HP/Lbs engine into a NA 8 and changed the body style to make the car almost its own car, rather than another turbo version, price the car 15% less in the US. I think that car would/could be a hit.

Regarding the GT2, there are confusing rumors coming from Porsche. Apparently some car magazines got the info that a 997 GT2 will NOT be made. But WE hear a lot of yes and no rumors, so I'd say that if the markets demand it, Porsche will definetely deliver a 997 GT2 pretty fast. But I doubt we'll see it before the third year of 997 Turbo production.
A GT2 would be basically a 997 GT3 with the 997 Turbo engine. So no matter what Porsche tells the press or what rumors we have, Porsche is capable of offering a 997 GT2 in no time, all the necessary parts are already developped and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Porsche already took a possible GT2 variant in consideration when they developped the 997 GT3/RS and Turbo.

In the new EVO they quote the head of R&D saying that there will be a GT2 coming

that is the idea,
I think there are enough versions of the 911..
If Porsche can produce an SUV, Sedan, why not another sportscar "different than the 911"
the cayman S "appears" to be below the 911 in price,performace etc. why not something above, without the big gap to the CGT.
