A 997 turbo or a 997 gt2? what is the better sports car?

I have never driven either of them but it could usually rely on your style of driving and the environment you drive them in.

The Turbo is AWD which is better for traction on snow, ice, and rain. it is also heavier which makes it worse for acceleration.

The GT2 is RWD which lets you to drift on tight corners but could be more dangerous in slick conditions.

Based on were I live, I'd rather have the Turbo but I'd gladly accept either.

Drove and raced both, I could take the 997 turbo with AWD any day over the GT2. I favor the handling as any car can go fast in a straight line, but not every car and give you the feeling like going fast around sharp corners stay glued to the road. Simply the 997 T is a more rounded sports car I believe and a step above many of the other 911 models. Plus, you may be able to never add the AWD choice, but you may be able to generally add engine/body/suspension parts.

The Porsche 997 GT2 jus made the second Fastest Lap on the Nurburgring in Germany the Current Record Holder is the Porsche Carrera GT.

The Porsche 997 GT2 has a Smaller Engine than in comparison to the Turbo, the GT2 has a 3.6 litre TurboCharged inline six Engine Producing 530 bhp where as the Turbo has a 3.8 litre Turbo Charged Inline six Engine Producing 480 bhp.

The Porsche 997 GT2 is Rear Wheel Drive, the 997 Turbo is All Wheel Drive.

The 911 GT2 has a regular manual six Speed transmission with no Flappy Paddle choice, the 911 Turbo has an choice of the TipTronic Auto Matic Transmission, Flappy Paddle,and Normal six speed Manual Transmission.

The Porsche 911 GT2 will hit 60 in 3.6 seconds and has a Top Speed 204 mph and a 1/4 mile of 11.5 seconds that is 0.1 seconds Slower than the McLaren F1, the 911 Turbo will hit 60 in 3.6 seconds and will do 196 mph and has a 1/4 mile 12.1 seconds.

the Porsche 911 GT2 has only two seats and a Roll Cage in the rear, the 911 Turbo has four seats.

so Over all the 911 GT2 is a BetterSports car for the Track where as the 911 Turbo is a Better Sportscar for the Road.

Some interesting replies here. but 1st off, since the 997 GT2 isn't still an real production car soon, but not quite still, the 997 Turbo wins by default in any comparison.

But, if you want to project depending on what is rumored of the new GT2, and in comparison to how the 996 variants stack up:

The GT2 is a better "sports car," and the Turbo is a better touring car. I have driving both of the 996 variants at track events, although haven't still driven the 997 Turbo. The difference between the older GT2 and Turbo isn't night and day, it's small and on occasion subtle differences, which finally add up to making the GT2 a more involving and finally faster drive.

The Turbo is most likely better suited for day to day use, and while the manual on this car adds to it is sporting character, it could seem the tiptronic is really now the faster of the two transmissions, which makes me wonder if we will see it as an choice on the new GT2 tradition says not probably, but performance suggests maybe .
