    Re: 997 GT2

    I have single sheet of paper in German. Not a single word about Sport chassis, only PASM(similar to one on GT3RS).

    And one info for PDK fans... NO PDK at all on 997 Turbo/GT2 models. You will have to wait for 998(or whatever its code name will be)...

    Thanks KresoF1.
    I was expecting that since Porsche is very conservative in updating, interested as it is to make the biggest profit possible over their sells.

    That really is impressive! The improvement over the manual 997TT is 1 full second (from 8.4 down to 7.4 for 0-160km/h). Awesome.

    Are you serious? That would make it $270,229.36 using today's exchange rates! Almost $100k more than the 996 GT2. I'm pretty sure that Porsche will probably adjust the MSRP for the US market to avoid that.

    Porsche's US prices are far below the European prices. The GT2 will be much cheaper in the US.

    I am serious. Do you know how much is 997TT in Germany fully loaded? From 160.000-165.000 Euros...

    In Europe we have to pay much, much more then you guys in USA.
    BTW, 997 GT2 USA price will be fully loaded in $180K range for sure...

    my dealer in NJ told me MSRP is $186,000

    but they have a one car allocation and 6 people wanting to buy it - he told me that the car will be market value priced and will go for well in excess of $200K

    Interesting to see how Porsche manages to price their vehicles differently for all the different markets. There seems to be such a wide deficient in pricing between markets.

    No chance! The 2004 GT2 MSRP was $191,700. I bet $198,000 or $199,000, without options, tax and license.

    No need to worry. If a car in europe cost Euro 196 000 it cost $196 000 in the US. The conversion from euro to dollar have been crazy these days because the dollar has lost 30% of it's value the latest 5 years.

    Will likely MSRP in US for just under psychologically important $200K level....

    Will likely trade-in in one yr for just over psychologically important $100K level....

    Will be interesting comparing one-yr ownership cost/unit of performance (NBR, accel, high-speed stability, etc) of 997GT2 vs 430CS/599....

    WBH there is a 2003 996 GT2 selling for $144,000 on autotrader right now. Something tells me the 997GT2 will not lose half its value after 1 year dep. Does anybody know how many are going to be produced? Guesses?

    I'm guessing not enough will be built and that there will be dealer markups for this model. This sounds and looks like a great car. and it will be in high demand.

    even at 30% loss of it original value over the period of 1 year is very significant at the asking price of USD200K level...

    Sì sì Kreso! Buy this,this has psm and everything also for safety! no 997 turbo...and obviously R8...without too many optional...because in this case you just have The Beast 997 GT2

    There two choices right know:
    -either to get originally planned 997 turbo and R8
    or
    -997 GT2 and RS4 or new M3

    Both combinations cost about the same money...
