I'd say spend that money on the Ferrari. It's a normally aspirated 9k RPM monster. You can't just add boost to that car.

That completely defeats the purpose. You need to watch this video.

If you want a tuned Turbo to match a GT2 RS, you will check accept on every box. You must reject. Every Porsche built has no exception on those questions.

Besides that, the Turbo and GT2 RS are two completely different cars.

Quite simply, the GT2 uses a racing block engine and the turbo does not.

umm,

yes, I do know that. The 3.6 GT1 block is used in the prior turbo. I'm not talking about what a great car the GT2 RS is or not. I'm just making a point about normally aspirated vs turbo'd cars.

heck, what engineering feat did the GT2RS accomplish? lighter components, better suspension, etc? The engine is still the same trusted GT1 block. They didn't even use the 3.8 GT1 version for the turbo. Listen, I'm a big pcar fan, but why get a turbo'd car for the track? Again, for that money, I'd rather get the Scuderia or 458.

but why buy a scud when you could get a 430 and add lighter pieces and mod it ?
I think this argument, which always comes up, is ridiculous. There are plenty of pros and cons to having a factory vs modded car. You can mod any car to make it faster than most stock cars.

I agree Teutonic arguments about modded vs factory cars could go on all I day but they really are irrellevant it's what the buyer wants, and most buyers want something great from the factory, as far as this car being better than a 458, I personally would take the 458
