OWNERS
I own a lot of cars and, frankly, the GT2 is a race car for the streets. It's not built to run on a wet street in Chicago, but I love it. Very responsive.

The balance is incredible, and power and braking are just mind-warping for a street-legal car. I'm glad to say I dated the 550 Maranello and 360 Modena, but I'm ecstatic that ...
