Any ideas on when the first journalist reviews/road tests will come out?

The weight saving talk is comical. Unless you do all your driving alone, with an empty trunk and frunk, a quarter tank of gas, lightweight shoes and no belt, and take a big dump before you leave, worrying about saving a few pounds with a carbon fiber hood is laughable. And this is assuming your BMI isn’t 40 to start with.
A car like the GT4RS which will see a lot of track, deserves to be light. First thing I'll do is to swap an AG battery in there.

The optional battery in the GT3 is a lithium. That's why it is more expensive. I was told that the GT4RS comes with an AGM and that it fits the same batteries as the GT4 etc. No lithium option for the GT4RSas far as I know.

Whats your point? If you are so concerned about weight put less gas in the tank, loose weight, replace the heavy weight items, etc.

Comical? Looking at how wheel weight affects performance, I fail to see what's comical. Go drive two Pistas, one with CF wheels and one with alloys. The difference is noticable to say the least.

I do have to say that IMO the optional Mag wheels are the better looking wheel but I can live with the "standard" wheels

Ohhhh noooo.....this confirm that it has the same crappy tone as the GT4, at least on idle......I see more exhaust upgrades in the future.

The funniest is listening to fat guys talk about the 25 lbs they saved by spending $15k on bling blang.

I gotta be honest....having just picked up my new GT4....I'm wavering on the RS. I like the more aggressive look.....and of course the Engine is a big deal. But subtract out the -R compound tires and realistically around Road Atlanta or Barber I'm not sure this is fast enough to justify the big jump in price. The suspension more or less being the same......is a huge limiting factor.
