well, I know I'd have an MPH or two on him at the top end, but I hope I never find out whether that is true. I'd give him a big thumbs up and WAVE HIM BY!

What did you mean by that, Greg? I thought the GT2 had a higher terminal speed than the 996TT.

Well that's what i thought , but maybe greg has some upgrades in the enigne so it puts out 600 hp and he "forgot to tell us about them"  ... i don't know , the GT2 is more powerful , is RWD , is lighter i guess , i don't know about the aerodynamics thoght... but i think that stock vs stock the GT2 has the edge

I think maybe greg meant that because he was already in front that he may be at a higher speed already, thus having 2 or 3 mph on him top end, but having the GT2 run in down anyway...I'm not sure, but I think that could be a way of taking it. Probably wrong, but a way???
