996 GT2

[gra001]

Anybody know when 996 GT2 ceased production and how much they were list?

Finished production in 2004. Not sure about the price but I remember that you could buy a Turbo and a Carrera for the same price, so probably about £150k.

I think list was somewhere between £125 and £130k.

Yep, thats the ticket. Barely any Mk2 GT2s were bought though, despite the fact they were supposed to be vastly better than the Mk1s.

About 130 produced I think. Deciding between 996GT3 RS and 996GT2. Both produced in small numbers so residuals on both should be good I guess. Somehow GT2 just "seems" more special.

Have had a couple of RS, and the RS is pretty much unbeatable with a good setup on track! But off track, you get the "cockmeter looks and scaffold enquiries)


GT2 is stealthy esp in Basalt, looks classy, and is mega quick (more so with a europipe and map), and is the ultimate 911 IMO

Rob, I`ve been following your postings and I`m really keen on the GT2 route. The off track image was one of my doubts with the RS. Now I need to have a closer look, a drive and then find the right one.

Production no's on both are in this thread:

I can't really comment on the RS although the 996 GT2 I recently purchased does give that very "special" feeling, with the added bonus of supercar performance and headturning looks.
