GT car too much for the street

[stef1808]

I couldn’t ask for a better car for the track. The involvement and concentration needed to drive my 997 GT2 on the Nurburgring was second to none, modern cars got boring after a few laps but the GT always left me wanting more - to do another lap before the track shuts.

I’ve now moved country and sold my my garage place (my car use to live at the “ring). Driving there in my vert and picking up the gt2 was probably the most funnest time I’ve had.

Now I drive it on the street as a weekend car and can’t match the enjoyment. It’s Sure fun for a bit, when the roads are empty late at night and I can push it a bit but for the rest of the time the harsh ride and creaking noises get to me. I’m mostly thinking to sell it and get into a modern c2s but everyone I speak to say they would always prefer a GT. I can’t help thinking I’d have more enjoyment driving a boxter 4.0/c2s most weekends with more realistic speeds/smoother ride. I love the involvement the gt2 requires to drive but perhaps it’s best left for the track?

So true, they really shrine on the track but for the road, a more road-focused car probably makes more sense

IMI A said:

I think the 4.0 Boxster Spyder or GTS a really good shout as a fun road car. Money no object I'd be v.tempted by a 911 Speedster

I agree with this. The gt2 is fun 100% times on the track and 10% on the road, as a track car I'd take my prepd gt2 over most track focused cars anyday.

Money no object a speedster makes sense but with that logic a simple c2s also makes sense
