Yessir! Adjustable DRS and rear differential and all that aero... I imagine the ADMs will be closer to $150k on this.

I wonder how "consumable' that technology actually is - Ive personally not ever considered installing aftermarket 2/3 way adjustable suspension because I dont have a f****** clue about compression and rebound etc ...

now on this car I can adjust the f&r downforce, the dampers, and the rear diff ... I hope it comes with a really really good instruction manual!

having said that - there are several seemingly redundant body parts I'd sell to have one of these - instruction manual or not!

Misha's take (AP also mentioned heat in the Carfection vid):

Interesting video. AP said the same that they are waiting for the weather to cool a bit before setting an official laptime.

Yeah I am not skilled enough to take advantage of the different settings either. It would for sure be a dream to get this but I imagine even a lot of people with the money to spend wont be able to attain one due to the competition.

Well, you should be able to get one since you get all you GT cars at MSRP right? Was that out of line?

It could be a rabbit hole, from which, one never returns:

I'll admit, my eyes did light up at the thought of the onboard damper controls, combined with a DSC unit..."Gran Turismo" come to life.

It is quite awesome indeed to have such adjustability on a GT car now and to achieve this digitally from inside of the cabin is especially wonderful. Seems like Porsche has taken a few tricks from Ferrari's playbook and elevated its game. How many people can accurately use these settings to successfully improve their lap times I honestly don't know. It would take me a few years to figure out what works best at the track due to my limited exposure to DE's in recent years.

Interesting comment about even with all the active aero wizardry Misha doesn’t see it going below the 2RS MR lap time just based on the lack of outright HP. But the cool factor is off the hook..

there are a number of long uphill sections on the 'Ring - when I was there last year in a Turbo S (PSDS Masters) it was very noticeable when accelerating in those sections how the Turbo's extra power (and 4WD) advantaged that car vs the GT3's ...

clearly any 992 GT2RS will inherit all this technology *and* the FI HP ...that will be a lap time to behold!
