Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

actually got airborn in one 3yrs back at 140mph down a country lane that a mate had whohad it up'd to 550bhp. I know they had some bad press yrs ago as being the 'widow maker' but currnet values make them an interesting prospect

I never really see any chat about these cars on here. hey really that bad?? ;-)
POST 4Original post
They did get a bad reputation at first, but I think people have a different view these days, and they are becoming much more desired. The prices fell sharply at first, but have rallied quite a bit, and seem to have strengthened in the last 12 months. A good alignment setup can make a big difference to the handling. An interesting quote from a chap on Pistonheads (SpeedYellow) which seems to sum up the handling quite well, when comparing it to a GT3.

Strikes me with a Chris Franklin set up they would be awesome. Question is, do you buy one of these or a 993 turbo??
POST 6Original post
Ryan dunn got airbourne RIP. http://nextgenvoices.org/ryan-dunn-porsche-scorched-heap-of-scrap.asp Be careful out there!. And before anyone say's yes I know its not a GT2 its a GT3. Regards Richard.
POST 7Original post
Im guessing airbourne as he hit something rather than just flipping at high speed ? Question is without hitting anything are GT2's just uber dangerous machines?
POST 8Original post
Only if you don't treat it with respect. Especially in the wet. What about fitting a TC system, such as Racelogic? 993T or GT2 - tough choice, but vastly different machines. Wish I had that decision to make...
POST 9Original post
Personally I would have to go for the GT2 as you don't see that many about. And everyone knows its like a Lion at the circus, It may be doing as its told at the crack off a whip but if you upset me ill eat you and your whip. A beautifull beast.

There also isn't that many for sale on PH. That said the GT3 seems generally to be the preferred variant and the one that sells quickly. The noise of those turbos coming on though cud make up for the lack of aircooled noise if your tempted by a 993 turbo I suppose.
