I have a 997 GT2 with a sports package from the factory giving it 550 HP. When i'm out on the track i don't even push the car but it still feels like a rocket. I haven't even put it in sixth gear in the back stretch at vir and it still flies. I don't get it down half way in fifth gear yet. Porsche made the GT2 to be a racecar, not luxury.
One big "limitation" of the CGT is tires - PS2s vs. PS Cups that can be cost effectively run on a GT-2. Video was from a stock GT-2 (no mods) on PS2s (instead of cups).
How would a GT2 smoke a GT??? I have a 997 GT2 and I know what it can and cannot do!!! The GT is a V10 5.7L normally aspirated mid engine with 612 hp. The turbo lag on the 520 hp GT2 makes it more difficult to control in corners. Also remember the GT is lighter at 1,380 kg vs GT2 at 1,440 kg. And yes, the driver would matter!!!

Im pretty sure a GT2 would be able to smoke a Carrera GT on most tracks.

Definitely correct! Next to last session of a two day event; probably going about 6/10s. Stock GT-2 on MPS2s.

Just got done running an open wheel formula car before getting into the GT-2.

We need more videos like these, showing what these cars are really made for. Not for some 5 second drive by on the street.
