2008 Porsche 997 GT2: More than a GT3 with turbochargers | One-Mile Review

Subscribe: www.youtube.co...

-----------------------------------------
Two GT2s came before it, but the 997 GT2 from 2008 would turn out to be the last before Porsche started building GT2 RS models in 2011 and 2018-19. Unlike the GT2 RS, the GT2 was a celebration speed, power, and analog driving controls - including a six-speed manual transmission - in a narrower body. With 530 horsepower and 505 pound-feet of torque, the GT2 was capable of slipping to 204 miles per hour and doing the zero-to-60-mph run in 3.6 seconds. Today Vu is reviewing one. Find out what he thinks!

    he was a respectful 9 out of 10 test driver considering this car is a GT2 with it's high value, as i'm an owner of a black techart 9972 4wd.turbo with similar power range 5-550hp. but he could have easily given it 5500rpm in more than just one gear, this would have been fine even with the owner. his 8.5 fun factor score i thought was a little light as they are definitely a 9 being a 6sp.manual & not the pdk. However i give him big Kudos for the respect shown while in the car, as i have experienced warrant of fitness road testing of my car at a very lenghty 15 mins on one occasion way over the 5-6minutes needed as they do in nz..happy porsching.😎

    its crazy to sit at a redlight in a GT2 with the clutch pressed in in first gear. Your throw out bearing will be toast soon! No Go. (even says the clutch is stiff but continues to keep it pressed) ugh. as a Porsche mechanic Im saying just dont sit there when stopped and continue to keep the clutch pedal pressed for such a long time. Your clutch and throw out bearing will thank you..
