Let's make sure the only noises are those you're supposed to hear, ie tires slipping out, engine revving etc... I don't need a noisy gearbox, or rear end whine.

The 997's and older all have their places, but evolution must move forward... says the guy who purchased a new manual.

Agreed. Random, mechanical PDK sounds interfere with other noises more relevant to performance and handling. I must have missed Porsche’s marketing message promoting the sublime, aural delight that a “bucket of loose bolts” makes in the 991.1 GT3. No thanks!

Cup cars definitely not RS as lack of rear air intakes on side of car. Can't wait to see the 991.2 GT3 RS soon.

Wow, just look at the size of that wing on the cup!!!

Just a random Q: why don't they use the indented "lightweight" Mg RS roof on the cup? Is that strictly a cost issue as one might expect the cup to get more banged up?

CUP car is based on std GT3 not the RS.

Cup cars are based on RS, they now have wide body.

When a cup car gets a new tub, is there a VIN on the new tub?

This is what I believe happens, or happened - first time replacement shell gets same VIN, subsequent shells come blank or with some code.

No, the Cup is homologated from the 911 GT3 - non RS variant.

Thanks guys. So do homologation rules prohibit swapping out parts like the roof? Why, when there are other mods?
