Default Super-charged 997

One of our customer's cars. Just detailed it so I decided to snap a few pics and liked how they came out so I figured I would share 'em

Supercharged GT3?

Why not just buy a Turbo and lighten it?

You know the colors and wing are all factory on the GT3RS right? As for the wheels, I agree that a different set with a better off set would suit this car much better...

You've described a GT2... It doesn't have the center lock wheels so it's not a 4.0 IIRC.

The sick part is that there are 10000000000 different better setups
Which would make this crush the world.

Maybe supercharged because the motor is already high-comp and the owner did not want to rip apart for a turbo build? i bet this car still would dick-stomp most if not every Z on this forum on a track.

I sincerely doubt it... more power doesn't equal more balance. These cars are very balanced from the factory and just by adding a blower doesn't make it a hyper car either.

Yeah but... 911 Turbo S = $160k / 911 GT2 = $235k+

Although I suppose that if you're already in the realm of looking at buying a new Turbo S a GT2 shouldn't be that big of a stretch for your bank account.
