The GT 2/3 thread... But it's not!
Discussion
Ok, hear me out here....
Everyone is raving about prices at the moment, and everyone is probably thoroughly bored of hearing about how much this car is worth today blah blah blah...
For those of us who would actually just want to drive them, rarther than use them as an investment vehicle ( I thankyou
, it must be at the point now where you could buy a base model C2 (or turbo for the GT2) 996 or 997, and build your own GT car?
Let's face it, with a bit of mild tuning the C2 engine could produce very similar power to the GT3, and apart from that everything else is pretty much interchangeable! The 996 GT3 kit was fitted to plenty of base model cars, so a bit of work with the spanners to strip the interior, upgrade the brakes & suspension & you have a GT3 in all but logbook!
Turbos to GT2 is even easier as you already have the engine, just a few body mods & a bit of stripping out & you are there!
Both cases would see you with a near identical car for half the cash imho....
Flame suit on
