Porsche 911 GT2.
One word, crazy!
I could test drive it for 30 minutes on small roads and even reach 250 Km/h for a small moment. Crazy. A rocket on four wheels.
An unforgettable moment.

That's when it started but all rear wheel drive GT2's were also unofficially labeled the "widow maker"...
Fantastic car
In 2009 I wanted to buy a black 997 GT2 from Porsche. However, they told me that corporate rules only allowed me to lease this special model. That ended my 20-year loyalty to the brand....
Really?! Such games exist with Porsche too??
What did they mean by “corporate rules”…that you didn’t buy enough previous cars? Leasing as an allowed alternative is just as confusing to me.
No, I had serious cars before
And nevertheless it was the time of financial crisis at the markets.
They wanted to get more margin on the car by the leasing contract which had bad conditions

Yes unfortunate
The recent S/T had a similar clause where you had to lease it first. From the figures I saw grossly marked up money factors that benefited Porsche financial plus limitations on what you can do with the car (now I’m all for limiting speculators, but if they are all locked in for a year the speculation just begins a year later). Sad state.
I wasn't aware that they are still playing that trick
Since then they have asked me several times to return but I kept my line. If ever again it will be a used one but for sure not from the P-dealer. And I had two factory pick-ups in Zuffenhausen so I am fine with that...
A classic, love the 997 GT2.
My dad has a 996 GT2 that only sees a couple days of driving a year. He’s older though so I can see where the car may intimidate him more in his later years.
