But now I'm wondering, if Porsche calls the GT2 a GT2, why not put a 4L engine in it so it would be competitive in that class? That makes sense.

According to Christian Maloof (PorschePurist.com's Motorsport editor)"in GT2, the rules allow for naturally aspirated motor up to 4.0L. The GT3 is 3.8L. The 2010 RSR has a 4.0L motor to take advantage of every last drop in the rules.The GT2, on the other hand is a 3.6L turbo (not naturally aspirated), would have to add weight to meet specs, plus the motor does not have the benefit of a full race program for testing.The motor in the GT3 cup is basically the same for all the series. Sprints make more power, like in World Challenge where they claim 405 (but in reality it probably makes more like 500).Does that help? Andy,

Why do the teams enter a Gt2 class with a Gt3 variant car, vs using a porsche Gt2? Dumb question. Why do the teams enter a Gt2 class with a Gt3 variant car, vs using a porsche Gt2?
