My friend Alex sent this video my way.

Hey guys, we were in a real rush yesterday (Fred had to go to the gym ) so unfortunately we didn't get as much footage as I wanted. The wind was pretty high as well and in reality only the second flyby captures some of the essence of that sound. I swear there is no other Porsche I've heard (road cars that is) other than the CGT that sounds this good/crazy. It's such a clean/crisp sound that I know what I'm doing on ours in 2 weeks time For 7500 you get 200 cell high flow cats, longer tube headers and some tips but you also loose about 38 pounds of weight (verified). I'm not sure on the power gains (you'll need to ask Fred) but I'm sure that we'll dyno ours etc... As usual thanks to greg@road sport supply

lol. when I read the title I thought to myself " I bet it sounds exactly the same as a $1500 exhaust"

A friend of mine always buys those "modified exotics" or whatever its called magazine, I sometimes browse them at his place. The prices are so fucking insane.

their is absolutely no justification for price tag that high, None.

The new GT2


autoblog

We've endlessly covered the impending arrival of Porsche's newest 911 variant, the GT2. Powered by the same force-fed 3.6-liter flat six as the Turbo, yet only sending power to the rear wheels, it's destined to be one of the greatest tarmac toys of this decade. And the cat is unofficially out of the bag.

Some enterprising web-geek was able to download a scan of the GT2 brochure and aside from all the glossy photos; the real dirt is on the second-to-last page – specs.

We'll keep it brief so you can ogle it yourself, but the GT2 is producing 530 HP at 6,500 RPM, and 505 lb.-ft. of torque between 2,200 – 4.500 RPM. A six-speed manual transmission sends power to the wheels, and allows the GT2 to run to 60 in 3.6 seconds, to 100 in 7.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 204 MPH. The curb weight is 3,175 pounds. "Respect required," indeed.
