Porsche 911 GT2 RS on the streets of LA

[rfx45]

Enough with these hemi this, hemi that. Jag this, Jag that. 
How about we look at a car that reallyput these cars to shame.

 

[ryannyc]

Never really liked porsche . never can tell which one is which. they also look really small. always been a 'pop'n vtak ' fan the runs

then 2step the dump pipes. looks cool tho reminds of me need for speed.

 

[breakin necks]

beautiful car

 

[megatron]

Beautiful, I'm fine with my panamera though.

 

[rfx45]

Panameras are nice. In pics, they're ok but in person they look so much better especially once you get inside. I'd still take the GT2 RS over it though w/o hesitation.

Apples to oranges...

for the specs they mentioned i could do much better with a GTR...it has less HP but the top speed is higher (not that i'd ever reach near that). plus i wouldn't even have to pay over 90K for it. GT2 is a nice car...esp if it was blacked out

but idk for that kind of money i think its not worth it. but hey if you got the money it don't matter right? all 500 of them have been sold lol.

Nice car, but I'd still choose a Hemi V8 sedan over this tech loaded Kindey Bean any day.

 

[brettthejett]

It's an absolute dream of mine to drive through downtown like that....

How the hell does someoen convince the City of LA to shut down downtown streets so someone can drive hard?

That could be said about almost any supercar out there though but unless you are seriously going to track the car, you got to look for other things. The Porsche adds luxury to the car and as the host said, it might be the fastest daily driver supercar ever made.

Uhhhh really bro? a modern car with a hemi over any gt2 is crazy.

For my own needs I'd go 2012 SRT8 Charger without question.
Low cost of maintenance, great HP and handling, and has plenty of room for the wife and kids.
It's meets all of my needs for a fraction of the cost.

Obviously. 
But im sure a small % of gt2 owners are using them as daily drivers. I'd rather have a cts-v as a daily, but i'm not taking one over a damn gt2

 

[rhester]

That dude is lucky as hell to have gotten that assignment

 

[JayDean03]

meh, i'll stick with da Carrera GT 

 

[mangudai954]

I'd have a lot of fun with one of those down here

The car isn't about practicality. Obviously if I need to haul 4-5 people I am not going to get a 2-seater coupe.
This car is if you can buy any car you want and drive it like you own the road because you don't give a "F!" type of car.

That video was absolutely awesome... especially when they were driving through the empty city streets.

Porsche was never my favorite brand, but they probably make the best pure driving cars. If I wanted a car just for the car part with driver engagement, I'd want a Porsche.

I want to do that SO BAD, take a driver's car (lightweight, manual, good handling, RWD), and just whip it through the city at night where the streets are deserted but everything is still lighted. That would be the experience of a lifetime.

I don't think you can compare the two.

Don't get me wrong, they're both similarly priced and are direct competitors, but from what I've heard and read the driving experience could not be any more different.

I'm a HUGE Nissan GTR fan (one of my favorite cars of all time), and it's basically a computer on wheels. Every part of the GTR is pretty much calibrated and programmed for optimal performance. AWD, Launch Control, dual clutch transmission, you're basically driving a computer.

The Porsche on the other hand is a more driver-oriented car. It's RWD and uses a standard manual for more driver involvement. A GTR is completely controlled and a precision rocket, the Porsche is more like a car where the skill of the driver really plays into effect.
