More humbling experiences

Again, what is it with Porsches and the humbling experiences they provide me with? I always assumed the GT3 or the GT3 RS was the most powerful iteration of the 911 Carrera, guess the numbers did the talking in my head. After reading up a little, figured that this little baby was the king of the hill as far as power was concerned. The current production GT2 develops a simply obscene 520 HP, add that to the fact that the car only weighs only 1,440 kg and you've got a streak of lightning in your hands. As far as the humbling goes, I also thought that both the GT2 and GT3 came with roll cages as standard; wrong again, thats just the track special GT3 RS. So Pavi...I was wrong.



















I'm going to go ahead and guess this was from the previous generation of GT2s (1999-2005), which had a slightly less power rating of 475 HP, still enough to tighten up your backside nice and proper. In respect of that power, I apologize to the owner of this car for making all those conclusions I did unknowingly of what the GT2 really was.

























More of the lovely Porsche hips, sigh...Although from a practical point of view, that spoiler is still gonna make looking through the rear windshield quite impossible. I think that explains why the driver parked head in :P
