S2000 vs. Porsche GT2

0-60 on a 911GT2 is around 3.8sec--still very quick, but its not a McLaren killer. also the4th, what option do they offer for over 500hp...maybe you've seen a DIN rating, but i'm pretty sure there isn't a (production) Porsche that has over 500 SAE bhp.

as i said before i don't really know i thought i saw an ad for another tuned version... perhaps a non road legal version.. ???

oh, I thought you meant a factory option

Haha, a McLaren killer? Dude, the McLaren F1 Road Car is the world's fastest road car. Non aspirated, highly tuned V12 if I'm not mistaken, correct?

Up until recently, I used to think Twin Turbo Supra's were God's, because I've seen Hybrid Honda's pound Corvette's and LS1's, but this weekend on a daily cruise, I saw a Z06 hauling ass and an obviously modified Supra TT struggling to be in range of his tail lights.

Man, what cars are on top of the game is such a confusing subject.

I know its the fastest car, thats why I said "still very quick, but its NOT a McLaren killer"

yes you are correct...6 liter N/A V-12 putting out upwards of 600bhp and close to 500 lbs-ft.

i honestly doubt u saw a gt2. "looks brand new" no shit gt2 are for 02 so of course it would be new. do you know how rare those are.
they only plan on sending like 100 or so to the U.S. and they cost like 179,000. and it has a 3.6L flat6 456 HP
and someone stated that they thought they saw a 911 and then realized it was a gt2. ok.. if u knew anything, you would have known right away if it was a gt2 or not. a 911 turbo and a gt2 look totally different.
the 911 has a retractable wing that pops up at like 70mph the gt2 has a huge wing that doesn't retract. the front facia of the gt2 is different from the 911. the gt2 has a slit in front of the luggage compartment for downforce.
i live for cars i am constantly looking for cars.... i have yet to see a cobra R and there are more of those than there are gt2's.
you probably saw a RUF.

hold on...

the turbo 996 has 420 hp
the gt2 has 464 or so

if the car is an 02, and it is 02, it could be sold in 01.

and they're rare yes, but so is a RUF, which is hella more expensive, and way more rare.

you have a lot better luck in seeing a gt2 over a RUF, especially one of the 996 based ones..


oh, S2,
the mc laren is NATURALLY aspirated, not NON aspirated...
a non aspirated car is like a non aspirated person, dead or not running... hard to do 220 when you aren't running...

that's not a flame, just a pointer, i'm sure you noticed it...

wow it seems i have started some fight over the fastest car crap..
anyway to the i want a lambo dude who seems to doubt my ability to read the big GT2 on the back of the thing...
i may not know dick about porsche.. but i can read..
and i don't care how many they made.. if they only made one of them , it has to be somewhere.. right...
so pardon me for saying so but that was a very immature and stupid comment..
anyway as far as the f1 goes..
what about the calloway c12 or something like that i read about it being fster or something.. perhaps not road legal maybe ..
not sure just asking..

i heard the saleen s7 is one of the fastest road cars now. they COULD hit 240, but no one really has the balls to hit that yet. But i'm not too sure on that.
