GT2s are fantastic to drive in all conditions, but they're not quick in the wet. I'll re-phrase that, I'm not quick in my GT2 in the wet. You (I) cannot use full throttle on boost until 4th gear. Entry grip is phenomenal in the wet, exit grip.....be careful with your right foot.

In the dry, the best car I've ever driven. Leaves a TT(unmodified, non x50) for dead.

In all seriousness tiptronic would be a good idea, because it would allow two hands on the steering wheel at all times.

Chinny reckon.

It would, but then having to bring another 80hp to the party to liven things up again (and counteract all that extra weight) rather defeats the object. Back in your manger KayC (only kidding)

No, too much weight at the front resulting in horrible understeer.

Not as much weight on the front as a GT2 going quick in the wet..usually all the weight is at the front as the front swaps ends with the back.
