It isn't a 982. It doesn't have any 982 rails, or tins on it.
It is a 991 with 991 rails and modified center section for the bulkhead.
I wish it was as it would make tub/tins availability easier. But anyone that has been under a 982 (or 718) can atest to this.

Good point. I guess the chassis really doesnt define the model. (or the make ) I mean, a audi R8, is built on a Lambo chassis, correct? (so ive heard)

For pure race cars, but just started in the street car world. the aston and a few others like the Vet, have made the V8 front engine cars , more of front-mid engine cars..... the aston in '06, and Vet with C5 97'- version , perfected it, having the V8 as rearward as possible and the transmission in the back. the front of the V8 is on the axle line. Caddy, in WC 2005 made it an art form, but it was on the street car conversion.

This is still technically a GT3 RS according to the rules. Porsche said they didnt even need a waiver to make their rear engine car mid engine which shows how lax the rules have gotten. This is not the same GT class as we saw in ALMS. Other than HP it seems to almost be looser than the old GT1 rules.
