drinking beer, eating wings, watching golf, catching up on my P-Cars and trying to figure out how LO is Salmon all of a sudden. I think LO looks good, but preferred risking being called Barney. LO is not pink.

Heard that release of GT3 RS details has possibly been delayed until late February due to homolation issues.

^ No! Thanks for the heads up. Any details on what is causing the issue? Particulate filter?

i believe so. There will be only 2-3 months production of the car without a particulate filter before it stops. Car is then relaunched in September with the filter. This should allow the car to be built well into 2019.

I believe the base price of the .1RS was around $185,000. Very doubtful Porsche will increase the price by $65,000. More like $15,000 if that.

Interesting, Thanks for the info Chris. I wonder if any non filter cars will make it to the US since Euro deliveries are typically first to go out, I think the .2GT3 was out on the streets for approx. 2 months ,across the pond, before US deliveries

Just speculation, but MY19 .2 GT3 will have new filter and slightly revised pricing. Cutover is just later than normal due to no need for the 6c compliance until after Sept. Every single car VW, Audi and Porsche produces needs the compliant filtration so been well planned for.

Particulate filters are terrible on diesels. How do they work on gasoline engines?

Not that I am aware of.
It is going to be crazy because I would imagine that it would operate similar to those on diesels, so works off of the computer and sensors to let it know when to go into regen to burn off the materials from the particulate filter, definitely going to add weight and might be a nightmare for those that use aftermarket exhausts. The turbo engine route sounds so much better now.
