Heard there is a limited run of 30 cars for the UK. Although they could probably sell 3 x that many easily it will certainly help residuals of not only 997 GT2s but also all previous Gt2s also I'd like to think.

Just hope the 30 cars go to people who want them to drive and not greedy gits hoping to sell them at a premium mad

Whoever gets them (hopefully a few on this forum), they will really enjoy them! Seriously good car, it has great handling and it puts the power down on the road a lot better then the 996 version and it looks really nice! Quick round the track and good on the road as well, nice compromise smile

It has great balance as well, fells really good on the track, with a stiff chassis and not too much understeer (thanks god).

I loved driving it, but can't afford to buy one (yet) frown Oh well, guess racing the 997 RSR will have to do for now hehe.

If anyone gets one here, I am happy to do instruction with you in it and try to teach you how to get the best out of it. I hope who ever gets them, actually takes them on the track, as it would be a shame only to use them on the road!

Good luck to who ever has put a deposit down on one, hope you get it.

Not at putting down the 996 version of course! its an awesome car already, and its got "a bit" better... smile I suppose, perfection doesn't exist there is always something going to be better, but each time, the margin gets smaller and smaller.

Yes it is...how come you know the name of the colour, I thought it was a secret. Although I'd love to get it wrapped in camouflage colours

My local OPC certainly think they are getting *one* car which is obviously sold and another person who tried to order one was actually turned down during their "audit". No delivery times known either.
