Well...
You're gonna think I'm really annal
but it's again the "comfort" question regarding the lower GT2 suspension setup (similar to the X73 setup I suppose although different I know...) compared to the Turbo.
Basically, do you need a back massage after every time you drive with such a setup?
Which in essence is not a bad idea but seriously...
The other thing is, I wouldn't want to change front spoiler every 1000 km
because of town driving.
From a performance point of view, I know the Turbo X50 actually sticks to the GT2's arse up to 200kmh which is good enough for me
Francois.
PS: When looking for that translation, I realized there is more than 20 pages of threads just in the Turbo forum, we go back a long way guys

Re: Well...
François, the GT2's suspension set up is pretty stiff but absolutely not uncomfortable, it actually has a small degree of dampening to it that makes it usable even in city driving(not that I recommend it).
The front on the other hand is very low and ramps or speed bumps are a problem, but Porsche has thought about it and made the lower part of the spoiler in rubber, so you don't have to change the whole thing if damaged.
BTW I don't know about the long term problems your back might have if driving such a car, so as a form of prevention I would advise daily massages done by a beautyful tall swedish blond!(Leverage is so important!)

Re: Well...
The GT2 is not that bad comfort-wise. It also depends on the tires, the Michelins are more comfortable compared to the Rossos.
I'm not that sure that the X50 can stick to the GT2 up to 200 kph, my experience is different. It needs around 520 HP on the 996 Turbo to be able to cope with the GT2. Fact.
