Default Porsche GT2 (PICS PG2)

Holy Fook....

My mate just sold his CSL M3 and got himself a GT2 Clubsport Porsche, with an uprated ECU and a Sports Exhaust System, and JESUS CHRIST!!!!

Now ive been out in fast cossies before but this thing is just unreal, and the sound out of it is totally amazing!! No traction control, rear wheel drive, full roll cage etc....

Serious serious car!

Awsome cars

If I won the lottery I'd buy a Ruf RT12 but if I couldn't afford one of those a second hand GT2 would do

Proper cars. None of this boyed up Ford/Nissan/Mitsubishi nonsense. Proper Motorsport designed car. For proper drivers.

dont wanna piss on ya chips mate but there set up to handle well, maybe its lighter than a ropey fords handling but thats like saying the car also isnt able to "auto lane change" with the torque steer


of course i could be wrong and the sierra cossie may be more balanced and set uo compared to a 100k motor

most ferrari drivers never take full use of the advantage of what there there for


infact most would find a mondeo tdci a better car to use when sitting in traffic ,,,,,, they got nicer cup holders for there de-cafe ,soya milk starbucks latte

only going on what they said mate, they have had some pretty nice sports cars to be able to make a pretty good judgement, tvrs, porches and curently fezza 360 cs, and they just felt its super quick but does not handle as well as some other cars.
