Still too retro and out-dated.

You have to know (like me ;) ) every aspect of a Porsche to appreciate a facelift. Let me dissect it for you. It has a wider front and rear track, a new splitter, new lights (front and rear), slightly newer interior, and a slight re-design of the area in which the tail-pipes are positioned. You see it as a small change, I see it as a major change. WCF, your claim of "3.7 seconds" to 60 is WAY OFF. The current GT2 can reach 60 in 3.3 seconds. I don't think it'd be slower. Probably about 3.1 with PDK.

Regardless of the time motor trend achieved of 3.3 to 60 mph, the official time to 100 km/h is 3.7, which was referenced in the story by mistake. Bad bad Zack. I conservatively upped the time to 3.2 since the Turbo S does it in 3.3 with heavy all wheel drive.

i am not talking about the look of the car i am talking about the car it self , this car is pointless they will introduce 991 in 2011 and this one 997.2 gt2 also in 2011 , that's what i meant by i don't get porsche anymore + i don't think they will fit a pdk ni this one because they didn't fit one in the gt3

they don't introduce all 911 models at once , it will take some time until the next turbo and then GT2 comes out. the GT2 is a limited production model anyway , they only produce each model for a short period of time.

the next generation (991) GT2 will arrive 2013 earliest , so what do mean with this car is pointless? it will be a monster of a car and as always marks the end of the current 997 generation as a limited edition.

finally the 997.5 GT2 is here. i wonder if it will have PDK or will still be exclusively manual.

My guess is that they will keep it raw and simpy offer it as a manual only. Just look at that beast!

Damn I want one!!! I think they'll option the PDK, I wouldn't order one with PDK but because it makes the car quicker they'd be silly not to offer it. Like to see it lap The Ring....

The 911s is a tad quicker 0-60 but on a track the gt2 rs porsche and ferrari 458 beat just about all super cars out there. This car has won many track championships than any car.
