Gastro. I use mine mostly on the weekends and have done several long trips. It is a perfect long distance car (mine is comfort spec), but also a blast for a short run to get the sensory nerve endings tingling. It is quite low at the front but you get used to what needs to be taken at an angle. I've not come across any speed bumps that it catches....yet and not lost the little plastic removeable gurney strip....yet. It is stiffly sprung but very well damped and not at all crashy....firm but not crashy. It is a completely different animal to the turbo, more focused and more thrilling. You need to be careful as it doesn't suffer fools gladly. I've driven it in some pretty cold and wet conditions including through a dusting of snow over the snake pass. Take it easy and the car is a pussycat. Take liberties and it will give you some warnings that it is about to let go (there are some, not lots but they are there) ignore these and it will rip your head off and ***** down your neck!!!! I have of course been caught out and have now developed big respect for the car.....straight line on dual carriageway, a little cold and greesy, full on wheelspin at 85mph+ in 3rd, back end stepped out and went sniffing out the lorry ruts. It didn't spin but required an armful of opposite lock which kind of focuses the mind. I'm sure it felt more dramatic and out of control than it really was, but i'm not a hero driver and have very little experience of controlling cars just beyond the limits, hence my history of rolling a boxster s into a field. I have felt the car squirm several times since and it is feeling more normal and less scary.
I bought the car because i loved it since it was first released. It was (and still is) the fastest 911 ever produced by Porsche and quite possibly the badest...in a good way if you know what i mean. I followed one for a short stretch on the way to le mans at normal speeds and i just loved the road presence of the car. It just looks so epic from behind with those 315 section rears, the chassis low slung and the rear spoiler. It was only travelling at 70mph but it didn't need to be going fast for it to scream road presence.....i just don't think you get that from a tt, gt3 yes.
So, for me it would always be a gt2(but i am biased) over the tt +/- x50, purely as it is ALWAYS an event to drive and you will ALWAYS need to concerntrate. The tt will be a quicker car on most roads in the uk on most days.....but not always and never as involving. It depends what compromises you are prepared to make to own a car like the GT2, just a bit of inside information though, the rewards are rich and you don't have to be risking your life to experience them. Plenty come at 0mph ;-)

Editted to say that due to the rarity of the car when new, and now even more so for a straight honest car, investment into a GT2 is likely to be a safer investment than a TT?
