Current car is better in every way, minus the <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/amazed.gif"></A> factor. ill take the 959. its still just 2wd vs 4wd betel.

we all know the history of the car, but its still pretty damn ugly in street trim, at least to me. wheres the GT3RS option?
Indeed. 962 derived 2.85 liter engine, most sofisticated AWD system, sequential turbos, and best of all Group B aspirations. Can't really see how a GT2 can top that?
well the GT2 also uses a 962 derived motor, its faster, more reliabile, traditional RWD, and better in like every measurable way.
