good post, and yes, the 997.2 was much better suspension wise, and the improvements from 997.1 to 997.2 goes for the gt3 as well (more changes like 3.6L to 3.8L etc) as far as I understand it. but 997.1, the gt3 is the car. no doubt.

I know that the 996s and the 997.1 Turbo's had the 3.6 Metzger and the 997.2 Turbo's got the new 3.8 DI motor which is also in the 991 Turbos.

probably, and also that it has probably too much power for a RWD car that weighs that much in a rear engine platform. from what I have read, it is very difficult to handle and drive. it is a badass machine and I love the way it looks

That and it being a Turbo. I'd take that beautiful NA engine that revs to 9000 RPM's over a turbo any day of the week!

I love the way they look, but just not my thing really. If you are going to track one, might as well go NA. And if you are going to make a Turboed monster, might as well be AWD. There's a reason it's called the Widow Maker. Just IMO. Quote:

Not a big deal if you have the right tools for the job. They have torque multipliers too you can get but I'd scoop one of these bad boys up.

You can convert the .2 to 5-lugs fairly easily and many .2 owners have done it (including me).

Yeah, the 997.2 GT3s and RSs have a 3.8 Metzger that was used in the 997.2 cup cars.

Don't forget all gt3's need to have the coolant pipes welded before hitting the tracks or at least drain the coolant for water and redlines water wetter. Welding the pipes requires dropping the motor....unless there's another option I missed?

The other option is to have your car looked over after every weekend to check for any weeping from the coolant hoses and then change them out. Labor and parts to change out the hoses is about $150-$200.

I'm no 'ring expert, so can't make direct comparisons between B to G times, full lap times, Sport Auto times, etc. but I am a winter time admirer of 'ring vids... Have a look at the Yokohama bridge to gantry times in the three vids below. Why the Yokohama bridge? Because it's a readily identifiable landmark common to all laps with different start points, and in all three laps they're on it pretty much from that bridge to gantry. Kluck is going for it in both vids. Lukester M3 2:14 - 7:46 (5:32)* 991 C2S 2:21 - 7:52 (5:31) Timo Kluck 997 GT3RS 4.0 () 2:18 - 7:46 (5:28)** Timo Kluck *He hit traffic in a couple of spots. He's an incredible driver, but not Timo Kluck. PDK in the C2S, 6MT in the E92. **Got off of it prior to gantry. Cut a few seconds off that time realistically. So over a substantial portion of the lap, the modded M3 really is neck and neck with the 991 C2S, and therefore 997 GT3s. I'm GT3 obsessed, by the way. I just thought you must be selling that absurdly quick lap by the M3 way short. Cannot be mid-8's and slower than the recorded stock E92 time. Checked the 918 spyder time over that same distance for shits and giggles -- 4:57 . Demonstrates that if there is a massive performance difference between the cars being compared, it would certainly show over the "Yoko to gantry" lap.
