How do you decide which one to drive? 
I guess it is a problem we wish we all had. May 12, 2008 8:17:13 PM

Awesome collection. Please tell us how you compare the GT to the GT2, similar numbers on papers, but how about the feelings?
Thank you everyone for your kind words.
I love the new GT2. It is a phenomenal car. Very fast, very smooth and extremely well balanced. It'll probably even keep up with the CGT. But believe me, as an unbiased Porsche lover, there is ABSOLUTELY nothing that I have driven to date, that feels, sounds or makes me smile as big as the Carrera GT. I guess that's why I have 15,000 miles on it.
In terms of speed, I have not ran them side by side yet, but my guess is that from a roll, the CGT would open up a few car lengths on the GT2 just because of its normally aspirated quicker throttle response and then hold the gap as the GT2 spools up and spreads its wings.
An even better question though, is how does the GT2 and RS compare. Surprisingly, when I picked up the GT2, I felt that it was just like the RS just a whole lot faster. But after driving them back to back, you can clearly feel how much more racy the RS feels. It's stiffer, louder, and for some reason feels a lot lighter than the 40lbs suggested by Porsche. I guess that's why they are all staying.
I hope to do an actual run between the GT2 and Carrera GT next weekend and I will post the results.
Best,
Amir

Thanks for your thoughts! Bang on what I thought.
I agree with you. Only 3000 km in my GT so far, but this car is pure sensory overload!
I am yet to try the GT2 to have my own opinion but I just cannot see how a twin turbo 3.6L engine propelled car can be as exciting as a N/A V10 one!
