Also interesting will be the specifications of the GT4 RS such as horsepower and weight. I think it needs to have at least 450 horsepower or people will be disappointed.

I don't know what engineering would be required to use the 911R gearbox in a mid engine configuration, but probably enough changes to be cost prohibitive. I wish that wasn't the case though the 991R/GT3 manual trans is the only current porsche gearbox with perfect gear ratios, a 718 with that box would be absolutely amazing
Although I would be surprised if that engine made it into even a PDK GT4 RS variant as it too would have to be reworked for accessories, mounting orientation and coolant flow to name a few things. I figure they will use the 9A2 Evo 4.0l with some higher RPM parts to raise the redline give something like 460-475HP at 8600 RPM or so without really increasing the torque all that much... fun to theorize while we wait for any official announcement for either car.

The GT3 starts at $161K. A lot of people seem to think that the GT4 RS base will be around $130K. So around $30K delta.

This is my dilemma as well. Need to know GT4 RS base price and specifications to know if it is worth it or if a GT3 makes more sense value wise. Of course, both will be hard to get an allocation for.

On the transmission... Unless the GT4/Spyder RS gets a new transmission that is adopted beyond the 982.1... I mean if we are maxed out torque wise now won't that be a continued problem into the future when it all goes Hybrid for the next generation?

The fact that this thread was started a week ago and has 161 posts and nearly 10k views says a lot.

The problem is not the speculation nor the discussion.
I simply do not appreciate people who disregard forum practices and CBF otherwise.
