Since the new engine is fed air through the side windows, what purpose do the inlets behind the doors serve? Anyone have any ideas? Cooling engine compartment, cooling rear brakes?

Those are strictly for engine compartment cooling now.
I just received my GT3 allocation this Monday and saw the release of the GT4RS. So I asked my SA what is the situation for GT4RS allocation at the dealer. He told me he has 4 on the list for a while, no words from Porsche and not likely to get allocation. For now I will keep my GT3 for next summer delivery unless something change before my May build lockout date. Not going to give up MSRP GT3 spot that easily!!!

Your GT3 will be great currency to use as a trade should you wish to "upgrade" to the GT4 RS. :-)
It actually isnt. You are trading off suspension, downforce, power, tire size, wheel size, traction, RWS all in favor of better intake noise. If you actually think about it, all of that combined make much more than $20,000. GT3 is still the better value. Plus GT3 has manual.
If you care abt lap times, I think with this engine and layout, GT4RS may be easily tuned to be faster than GT3, maybe 265 front tyres are just enough.
If you don't actually care about lap times, I think the unique sound alone may be enough for you to pay the bill, let alone all the other cool features.
Question so why does the US not allow them? Is this still happening?
The US allows them if they’re padded (been done fairly recently with a special BMW model), but Porsche is afraid of the litigious nature of this market.
Interesting find in the std equipment listing. Its not an option in the configurator but wouldn't it be something for getting rid of the wart if it is possible to delete.
Dreaming of getting an allocation. If I could ever get one at MSRP, this would be my pick at a $151,240. I like the black because more subtle and less busy.
