The GT2 is RWD because of the class that it competes in does not allow AWD. |

500 on the turbo i think... i remember hearing on top gear its limited to 160 or something because the tires would burst becuase of the weight of the car. |
yea and add rims in the mix and you've got a tire life of about 3 months lol |

GT2 Class in FIA GT racing is RWD only. They have a production version to meet homologation regulations. ;) |

| Well to be perfectly hones you can get the "Holly im driving a Porsche" even in the cheapest boxter, a GT2 is basically an unforgiving race car which will kill you if you're not at the top of your game all the time while behind the wheel. And it will kill you, Porches are knows for taking out lousy drivers who have more money than brains. There is a reason why the first turbo was nicknamed "The Widowmaker" :D |

it was?? lol that's great trivia thanks
i rode in a boxter before it was alright. they still don't make me give a 2nd glance. also rode in a carrera S.
i get confused w/ all the carrera models. like which is fastest and slowest, and other specs. |

| The boxter.. the poor mans porsche. It is supposed to be a proper roadster but if you have one it just means you cant afford a 911 |

it's the porsche that rich dudes buy the dumb wife lol or what the dumb ex wife gets w/ the divorce money. |

That can be true, but even new Boxters don't come that cheap and are quite useless as the primary car so if you can afford a boxter and another car for doing boring family stuff you are still quite well off.
And even porsche dealers get confused with the 911 range sometimes, so its quite understandable that everybody else gets confused too :D |

a lot of people who aren't really into cars or have any knowledge of them, don't realize how expensive the faster porsches are. i told a friend of mine one time that they get up to 180k for the gt2 + and he was like "WHAT? a porsche?" lol
and porsche is really big in south florida. i see some sick ones...and i mean SICK ones (custom paint, kits, etc... on GT2s) at least once a week driving around ft. lauderdale. |
