Porsche GT2 is a hardcore Version of the Regular Carrera, GT3 is the Racing-Stripped out Version.

2. are all 911's also called carrera or just some?

There is also Targa, Turbo, Carrera 4.....

To answer your question; no.

3. do numbers like 997 signify the generation?

Yes. Porsche Model Designation for Generations for all models is signified by a three digit number beginning with 9.

4. what the full model line up for porshe?

At the present time
997 911
996 911 Turbo
Porsche Boxster/Boxster S
Porsche Cayman
Porsche Cayenne

And all variants of these models.

5. whats the difference between the 911's?

Each 911 has a distinct feature; the Targa has a glass roof and a hatchback, the Cabriois a convertible. It's so they can tailor the Porsche to suit the owners requirements. Or keep the engineers entertained.

Goddamn I was typing up answers and by the time I clicked submit, somebody deleted the thread already. I hate double threads. Can't you mods see who's reading the thread before you delete it?

[The_Canuck]

oh crap did i double thread? BTW thanks IB4R

one more question: whats faster/ has better performance a gt3 or a gt2?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

No One was reading it when I deleted the thread!

If your so worried perhaps next time a quick Ctrl + C might be in order.

I didn't know somebody is gonna delete it that quick, and plus the first thread got "Porsche" spelled right.

Is to keep the engineers entertained

Very good one!!

The GT1 is a racing version of the 911. It wouldn't be street worthy.

Isn't the GT2 the turbo version of the GT3?

[M3GTR33]

The GT1 was a homologation built street car. I believe that Porsche bulit 34 (?) street examples, I know 2 of which were built with 993 style headlights the rest of which were built with 996 stlye headlights.

Porsche model line is simple. you have the Cayenne (suv) comes in base(v6), S (v8) turbo (Turbo v8) and a turbo s (super turbo v8)

you then have boxster and caymen. they are entry sportscars

the 911 is a legend. you have #'s for differnet generations. 993, 996, 997. past 3. carrera is just a model varitaoin. 4 is all wheel drive. s is sport. turbo is turbo. the GT's are race oriented. its quiet simple

[The_Canuck]

[SilverG35SportC]

The 997 Turbo is not out yet, neither are the Gt2 or Gt3(has no turbos) variants. The Carrera Gt is on there though...

Thats a good summary dude, but for clarification 3-7 are 911's. And as to an earlier question, GT3 has an NA engine but its lightened too (they recently had the GT3 RS which was even better!). The GT2 has a twin-turbo engine.

i thought a GT3 was a stripped out non-turbo 911, and a GT2 was a stripped out turbo 911
