Technology moves on. Why not have all the tech if the penalty is minimal nowadays? You can buy a stripped out, raw and uncomfortable Porsche, or you can get everything under the moon from McLaren, Ferrari, and Lamborghini will offering the same or better performance.
If you want a raw involving car, why buy a GT2 RS in the first place? I bet a 997 GT3 RS would be a much more rewarding drive. Hell, a 996 GT2 would probably be more rewarding with even less advanced mechanical and electrical bits.
I don't see the point in lamenting over a desire for amenities and luxury, but having no problem with the fact that the only reason one's lap times are better is because the car is better. If you can't do 7:25 on the ring in a GT3 RS, then why buy a GT2 RS, right?
It is amazing how things have moved on so much that someone can make this statement and it has a big element of truth in it.
The GT2 model from its inception in the 993 was a heavily stripped out (1290kg) minimalist and very focused car produced for racing homologation,the EVO may be considered the 993GT2RS version, even more track friendly. Technology has evolved so much that I can comfortably daily drive a 997GT2 with full metal linkages and track designed active suspension.... we are all presuming the 991GT2RS will be even more streetable and why shouldn't it be ? It is incredible that Porsche can produce a streetable daily driveable car which can post a sub 7s ring time - fantastic
