I have a .1 GT3 and put my name on the list for the .2 RS. Not picking apart the car to diss it or rationalize anything, just trying to assess the car realistically.

Of course! There are some major offenders here with respect to the 991.1 RS (I don't have to name them)

I owned and tracked and sold the 991.1rs. It was an awesome car. Even if the new 3rs is barely incremental improvement over the old, I'll have a new awesome car in a new colors/refresh, new suspension, new warranty, new engine, etc. bring it!

I don't think it's quite that simple. The new car has different aero, more power, meatier torque curve, revisions to the PDK, better brake cooling, and recalibration of the e-diff. Part of what we pay Porsche for is making the whole thing work well as a system, drawing on their formidable engineering talent and resources.

But tuning an engine for racing applications versus tuning the same engine for the road where you have to emissions, provide a 4 year warranty, etc. is quite different.
