It's not even a full exhaust, just the tips. Can tips change the sound that much?

Although I bought the SRS, I might choose the second combination.
I will be in 1.

I had 4RS which failed to connect with me. I put 3,500kms on the 4RS with about 1,500 of that on the track. I have a 3RS coming shortly which I know i will love.

I am hoping that I enjoy the SRS on the backroads during the summer with minimal light track laps. I do have a fear that I will not bond with the SRS like the 4RS.

I am excited about the Tesla Roadster which is a candidate to take the place of the SRS in my garage for summer backroad usage.

Being so "raw" in RS trim, do you suppose a watered down version with the previous style top and a manual transmission would have a market? "718 Spyder Touring"

The top mounted intake on the GT3 engine took up so much space they went back to the 987 top as it is lower profile. They say the 718 6-spd can't handle the GT3 engine either, whether that's for rpm reasons or power, not sure.

They can't put a GT3 manual in the 718 chassis with the GT3 engine?

It would have the wrong gear direction for the engine/transmission orientation...

Because they had to flip the engine around?

Well, more that the transmission is rotated 180 degrees between the two platforms.
