Nice work

lovely linear progression. Hub dyno?

That would be one very strong and very quick GT4.

Thanks! Yes, DynaPac hub dyno. My favorite, closest thing to an engine dyno.

Agreed, best way to go in lieu of an engine dyno.

Looks like a nice strong car

Would love to back to back my RS with the GT4 above, is the rear multilink?

Also forgot to throw in those new tire temp gauges that are in the new 992 Turbo for the dream GT4 RS list.

Nice! Can the manual tranny handle this kind of power and torque like the PDK can?

I predict the H.P. level of the GT4 RS will be acceptable to Porsche's Engineers/management to offer it with the 6MT or maybe 7MT...which will assure it sells literally like hot cakes and will be an instant collector car. You are right, they know how to maximize profits while maintaining exclusivity.

Shouldn't be a problem. Audi has had them for years.

Okay okay...dream GT4 RS:
- real deal rear suspension (multi-link)
- FAL
- less than 3000 lbs
- mo powa baby! please please 500 HP
- carbon fiber everywhere
- actual RS wing
- more aggressive aero for sure
- PDK-S (drool)
- all the other RS accoutraments
- Weissach Package
- I'll also take the extra air from the rear windows like the new CS!

What else am I missing?

The 6MT (Or 7MT to help with emissions).

You may be correct but given that I don't see the GT4 RS as a full blown effort I think it gives Porsche an opportunity to slip one more RS model (the last being the 2011 GT2 RS) in with an MT...btw have you seen the prices for the 2011 GT2 RS these days?
