997 GT2 now on Sky ch123

[Chris]

FIA GT Championship at SPA....

New 997 GT2 from the factory there 2 cars ....

Big fat arches (screw on) like the old 993 GT2...

Twin outlets for the exhauts from the centre but they are elipical in shape as oppossed to round.

Any piccies........ sounds like the next GT2 is going to be a bad boy car - just like the 993 GT2

yep - sorry guys have to agree.

porsche are still in official denial re: the existance of a 997 GT2.

And I have to say.....just coz some pics at the ring show one being tested....doesn't mean it's def going to happen.

I really hope it does tho

btw if anybody thinks the 996 GT2 isn't "involving" like the 993....you should have been with me 2 weeks ago hooning over the alps with DMC! lol

i hope all r well....long time no post for me.....hi to all those I met at Le Mans!

cheers

my thoughts exactly Damian.. specially when i saw the Manthey Racing on the alleged gt2's

 

[Kristiano]

Those exhausts must be belting out some heat! Great fit on the rear arches! The front looks a little out of sorts witht he back, still it's a racing car not a show pony I suppose!

Exactly, they do what they can within the limit of the rules.
The rear arches/bumper don't quite match, but if they do the job...

I don't get the exhaust. I can't see what advantage that gives.
Whilst I think it looks cool, on a race car that is largely irrelevant.

They still have to adhere to noise regulations in some championships.
