Meh. What would we do with all our time then?

In the tangential topic:

I think it is possible that Porsche might release a Boxster 718 RS Spyder 60 GT4 Anniversary VIP Heritage Edition with a manual gearbox.

However, it would be the same box as in the current crop of 4.0s and thus limited to 309 ft-lbs. Power bump over the current 4.0 would all be about moving the torque curve up the RPM range and a consequent sacrifice of low-end torque.

And, then, you can bet that the gearing-is-too-long folks will start another 27 threads on The Horror! The Horror of the gearing.

No way. Because the new Clubsport is confirmed to have a 4.0 in it if I remember correctly. I don't see the Street 4RS getting a bigger engine than that or especially the new GT3.

And the present CS iteration has a differently sized engine than the std street version. 'Nuff said.

We will see....I just don't find putting a 4.2L in the 4RS believable....the rumors and speculation have gotten insane lately and backed up by nothing.

Ok, what are your thoughts on what they could do to make the RS better than a GT4 that has been upgraded with a tune, exhaust, etc.?

For me, I would really want, aside from 485 hp, a suspension upgrade, but I’m not sure what flexibility they have with the current set up.
