    OMG I Saw the GT2 in Person-Pics from LA Show

    IMO the most beautiful of current Porsche design. So muscular, so menacing, so MEAN!

    LOL
    This Darth Vader of a car has such menacing presence in person, it's almost hair raising watching HIM (most definitely not a her!) rotating silently on on the platform.
    In general I don't like wide angle car shots because of the proportion distortion, but this one will have to do as I couldn't step back far enough.

    the single exhaust outlet design is just too weak for this car and the very high profile rear tires look like SUV tires. No idea why they did that.

    Another view of the B hind. I remember spy shots of the louvered exhaust area caused deep & widespread "cosmetic concerns." I could now confidently say this bad boy has one of the best derriere's in the business. The rear wing is *MOST* menacing (can't believe what this thing in black would look like ), but not overly done. The lower rear lip and side rocker panel are more "muscular" & IMHO better looking than my 997 Turbo sweetheart.

    Yes, the exhaust doesn't look very good.

    While I like the GT3 wheels, IMO they should have used unique wheels to distinguish it better. Both are minor things that can be easily fixed.

    Overall, I really like it.

    Lower front and rear lips and rocker panels much more "muscular" than my sweetheart 997 Turbo.

    No matter what, the GT2 is a very rare car and there will be only so many, so they will cost a bundle my friend

    Very fast and very purposeful looking, even by Porsche standards.

    Staggering!

    Thanks for the pic. Would you happen to have a close up of the Meteor Gray one that's sitting right behind the basalt black?

    Thanks in advance.

    I think I would get one in GT silver.

    The car needs some DYMAG's and your pretty much good to go.
