    I'm really feeling the GT2 front nose much more than the tt. Much cleaner and more aggressive looking without the horizontal slats in the grills and without the fogs

    I agree, it looks very striking.

    The ricer look of the rear wing doesn't do it for me
    But I'm sure it is functional.

    Without a doubt the front end looks much nicer.

    Let's see the fate this car will have. Hope it wont be the one of the 996 GT2, I mean selling very small numbers, and in top of it seeing a devaluation much higher than any other recent 911! If it will be like that I'm sorry for those who will buy it.

    The new front bumper and rear spoiler look great, but hate the sunroof.

    You mean lack of DOT crash testing....in order to sell 911s without sunroofs...they had to smash a few of them up.

    In this case, I put more of the blame on the US DOT for demanding crash testing (not "Crash"-testing: Our fellow rennteamer "Crash" would probably give his left t------- to "test" the GT2 ), rather than PAG. After all, it's not some POS that PAG is marketing for purchase to drive on the US roads (and tracks). I know, rules are rules, and we must protect the GT2 drivers and solo passengers from themselves....
