    I took the GT2 home today!!!!!


    Well I got the call today the my GT2 had finally arrived at the dealer about 2:00p.m. this afternoon. So knowing that the service department was closed I knew I had no shot of taking it home today so we arranged for pick up on Monday. But as anyone would, I took a ride to my dealer (75 minutes away) to take a look at my car. To my surprise the service manager (Ethan Gombossy) walks in to pick something up while I am checking out the car and says, "do you want me to do the PDI so you can take it home today" feeling bad that it was his day off and his wife was waiting for him in the car, I of course said that I could wait until Monday... he said no you wont and did the PDI. Now that is what I call customer service, granted I have purchased a lot of cars from these guys and consider them friends, but doing this goes beyond the call. This is the kind of service that will keep me coming back time and time again. Here are a couple of pictures after I got it home this evening, the car is really dirty, but it still looks fantastic. I will post some more pictures when I get her all polished up.

    Good Luck with your new PCAR. See you on the Merritt.

    Re: I took the GT2 home today!!!!!

    Beautiful ! Congratulations !

    I really like the full leather bucket seats, and the extra white stitching

    We look forward to hearing your first impressions and how it compares to the turbo...

    Re: I took the GT2 home today!!!!!

    Great,looks stunning,congrats!

    i love white Porsche!

    Re: I took the GT2 home today!!!!!

    Thanks Guys!!!!! I must tell you this car is everything I have ever wanted in a sports car. This is the real deal... the steering is almost telepathic, the engine is fantastic and those seats.... oh my!!! This car is night and day better than my turbo. I liked my turbo but it was missing something and I couldn't quite put my finger on it, now I know exactly what it was... rawness. I really missed the noise and feeling of my modified C4S, now I have it back only better... much better. This is by far the best automobile I have ever driven, it will be hard to top this one. I am still grinning form ear to ear. I don't tend to hold onto cars for very long but this one I can see myself owning for a long long time. Again thanks for all the kind words.

    Re: I took the GT2 home today!!!!!

    Wow, it makes me think whether it was wise to spend all those $$$ to make my turbo as close as possible to a GT2 rather than just buy one!
    A couple of questions; how's the 2wd when accelerating hard on 2nd or 3rd gear? Any instability? Also I am considering upgrading to the GT2 seats, would you think they are ok for daily driving in terms of comfort and access? Any inputs well appreciated!

    Congratulations on the new amazing ride!

    I have only had a chance to put on a couple of hundred miles since I picked it up, but as far as traction goes... this thing is planted and takes off like a rocket. The only time I saw the traction light come on I was accelerating up a hill and that was because the pavement was bumpy. Now for the seats, the are surprisingly comfortable, but a little difficult to get in and out of. I don't think I would want to get in and out of them all day long and maybe for a long trip they would get uncomfortable, but overall they are a great mix of support and comfort. Would I personally want them in my daily driver... no, but you would really need to spend some time in them for yourself to make that decision. I hope that helps.

    The GT2 traction is excellent. However, the rear can become quite light under full acceleration even in 4th gear. For example, entering the Autobahn under full acceleration in 4th might require PSM interaction if you happen to cross some smaller (hardly noticeable) longitudinal grooves. Obviously, the rear will also be very lively under full acceleration in 2nd gear - in particular, if the tires are still cold.

    The GT2 seats are remarkably comfortable. A key factor seems to be the rather soft and "thick" upholstery. Also, the angle of the back rest is surprisingly well suited for long distance travels. Access is indeed a bit limited. Overall I would argue that the GT2 seats are fine even for a daily driver.
