Just to keep the bright yellow thing going here is my Clubsport, I just love it but she needs V power right now and there's none .

Can you get a child seat in the back of a mk2 GT3 (comfort, but with the bucket seats?) Need to know for justification to SWMBO.

Short asnwer is yes, it can be done.

Don't recognize that rear spoiler - where is that from?

I hadn't realised there were that many variations of the GT2 style spoiler....

Thanks, but that begs the question, Is there a long answer?

Yes, involving seatbelt anchor points, insurance etc, but nothing insumountable (it has been done by a few people on here).

Ok, I'll have a search.

Absolutely stunning car that, already a classic.

Loving the GT2 mate, epic car you must be made up after moving up from a 930?
What are they like to drive?
Do they live up to the wild reputation or is it all hype?

Considering one to be honest, i think they look absolutely stunning and will no doubt be good investment propositions based on how many are left, apparently less than a 100!!

Cheers matey
I love it too, and yeah obviously a major step up from my trusty 930 and the 996 Turbo before that
Too drive, though i am no expert like many of the GT2 guys on here is interesting, i have made the mistake of not warming tyres through in the past, suffice to say i wouldn't do it again. Performance wise its just feckin unbelievable to be honest it is epic as you state and in my opinion more than what you need on todays roads, they are also very raw and mechanical compared with a 6T but what is good is the fact you can drive it like an everyday car do your shopping etc.
I think aesthetically they are just stunning too subtle yet seriously aggressive.

From an investment perspective i would say they are certainly on the list due to them been a GT 911 and rare i think you maybe right on numbers i heard 80 odd, some guys on here will know though.
To me they are a modern day 964RS, so hopefully values will follow.

I've only had mine C4S a month and it has rained most of the time. So... here's a picture of me in it with the roof up, and another of when I first got it - with the hardtop on):

They are nothing like a 964RS. Massive wide bodied turbo power v narrow lightweight modestly powered NA. I would have thought the Mk1 GT3 RS is the nearest thing to a modern day 964RS.
Regardless, I think your money is well invested as far as modern classics go.

Download the photo bucket app, then once you've uploaded a pic on that look at it on your phone & click the the i symbol.

Then touch the URL window & your phone will copy it automatically, then just paste it in your reply on here.

[steve220873]

Thanks for that sounds to complicated for me why can't ph put an icon on the page you write your comments so it brings up your photo album.

[Prof Beard]

I loaded the two above using the PH upload an image link on the page you use to post. (I normally use photo bucket/tinypic but I was on my iPad)
