Default Differences between .1 and .2 GT3?

Aside from engine and my .2 having a 6MT, any other major differences. I don’t want to track mine until it’s a bit older, but I’ve booked 10 laps in a .1 at SpeedVegas tomorrow.

There are at least a couple very long threads that already discuss this. Check them out.

I personally wouldn't touch the exhaust, motor, or perform any tune on a high strung motor that already sounds epic.

+ engine internals are different, has dry sump system and oil deforming unit, front track is wider. Quite a few subtle items.

Mainly some minor improvement , but the new engine is nicer. Less problem due to heavy track use. disregard the fake ring time, You won't get that time from the dealer car. lol .
For track use I think tires are more important

Biggest difference is the change from hydraulic lifters to solid lifters, and 3.8 to 4.0, the latter which has substantially more mid-range and top end you can feel.

There are several videos out there, several with AP interview. Understandably the engine and manual tranny take the headlines, but watch through the video and they talk about downforce and less resistance, etc, etc, etc. Here's one:
