    Re: VIDEO- 996 GT2 x F430 and the winner is?

    Very impressive, the GT2 is a serious contender. I saw a race between the GT2 and Mucielago, running neck on neck. I doubt it if the 997TT would take the GT2 easily, it will be very close with the GT2 having an edge on the top speed. Any thoughts on that guys? The GT2 takes serious skills to drive and the 997TT seems pretty tame and user friendly in comparison. I kind of like that; makes the GT2 look like a woman who will not sleep with anyone and everyone and just selected qualified lovers

    I try to race with 997 turbo manual ( Stuttgart test car, the silver one) with my GT2 MK1 and the GT2 was the clear winner, in every gear the GT2 pulls slightly, just like in this video from F430.

    Except, from what I have read, when conditions deteriorate. Then the C4/Turbo/959/Cayenne are needed.

    Was there a passenger in the GT2? That could explain the difference between the two cars. All things being equal, the two cars should be about the same in acceleration. Similar hp and weight.
