Built Race Car Developed as a high-performance, track-focused
sports car, the Porsche 911 GT2 was built out of an order to meet
homologation requirements for GT2 class racing. Officially
designated as Series Grand Touring Cars, the GT2 class of racing
involves vehicles that are based on road car designs. How loosely
based on road car designs is debatable. The GT2 is a serious
machine. Journalists have called the 996 GT2; maximum strength
Porsche, a missile, possibly evil, and a politically incorrect
screamer, among other things. Automotive journalists who test
performance cars often using words like that to describe a car,
surely means that the average Joe would use much stronger words. Oh
to be a fly on the wall as people experience the raw power, and
ability that the GT2 possesses! Highlighted here is a 2002 Porsche
911 GT2. Presented in Arctic Silver Metallic paint, this car may
look a little more docile compared to say a Guards Red or Speed
Yellow GT2, but make no mistake it's all the same under the paint!
This GT2 has a few simple aftermarket exterior parts in the form of
carbon fiber mirror housings and a carbon fiber rear spoiler.
Otherwise the small styling cues that differ from a regular Turbo
are the front bumper, rear spoiler, and the badging. Even the
hollow spoke 'Turbo Twist' wheels are the same. The paint is even
and glossy throughout, and we see that the clearcoat on the carbon
fiber mirror housings is beginning to show some age. Powering this
sportscar is a twin-turbocharged 3.6L H6, paired with a 6-speed
manual transmission. Slightly more boost is produced by the GT2's
turbos which helps the engine to produce approximately 456
horsepower. The regular Turbo produces 415. Unlike the regular
Turbo 911, the GT2 is strictly rear wheel drive and has no nannies
or electronic assist features. It's just driver and car. If you're
up for the challenge of controlling this car whilst going around a
racetrack, be sure that you're at the top of your game, as we
understand that controlling all that power is a challenge. Once
seated in one of the seats, it is easy to see that this car means
business. For starters, the seats are a thin shell with a thin bit
of leather over top, and a factory installed roll cage can be seen
criss-crossing behind you. Silver face gauges, a three-spoke
steering wheel with carbon fiber sections on the rim, alcantara
headliner, drilled aluminum pedals, carbon fiber gear lever, and
even a radio are other interior highlights. Included in the sale of
this Porsche are the original owner's manual as well as maintenance
documentation. Any collectors or automotive enthusiasts seeking
what could be called a road worthy racecar? The GT2 is usable on
the street and can be a terror at track days. This GT2 is sure to
set you apart from the rest, and if the many automotive journalists
who have driven GT2's are correct, this car may have you (and your
passengers) screaming expletives. Chances are you'll go back for
more. Please call if interested or e-mail with specific questions.
Thank you for looking.
