Yesterday afternoon, speed yellow GT2 CS parked up in town, looked magnificent.

Anyone here?

No Glen, yellow is not my thing

CS, have been pondering the huge prices of the 993 GT2's lately. It hit home when I went to Spec Cars of Malton recently and saw the yellow 993 GT2 they have, very beautiful and special.....but £150K? Some of that can be attributed to the engine tweakings (550bhp ) but it is still a huge amount of money.

I was under the impresssion that it costs big bucks to get large power from the 993 turbo engines....new turbos, cams, ecu, etc. Though the GT2 engine would be slightly cheaper to tune as it runs the K24 turbo, opposed to the smaller K16's of the standard turbo 4 engine?

Know what you mean regards some tuners charging a fortune to lift power a little, I suppose its a case of dropping on a firm that is fair though doesn't compromise mechanical longevity with its upgrades.

From reading the evo article on the black modded GT2 and 9ff uber turbo recently, the mark 2 996 GT2 has the RS suspension?

Could be wrong though.

Edited to say, reading the above post it seems not!
