I'm in the same boat as we're both getting an UK second batch RS..I'd love to know what spec the EU second batch RS will get..The general consensus is they will have the OPFs but not the ITBs..

A few easy ones:
Is the speedster engine the 992 GT3 engine? I.e., will the GT3 have ITBs? Pretty sure the answers are yes and yes, but curious how they'll respond.
What happened to the design features of the concept? Central fuel filler, Talbot mirrors, but also the wheel design that was, apparently, jettisoned.

They will keep the ITB's as the selling point for the boggo 992 GT3 and subsequent and move the price northwards.

Geez, I'm interested driving dynamics of course... road feeling, acceleration/braking, turn-in handling. weight, sound, but also, I'm interested in mundane stuff like will I be able to see and/or access the engine under that extended rear bonnet. Speedster seems the optimal opportunity to display the engine..? Can I change my own oil or air filter. I also care about the height of the car and if there is a lift?

Interested in how much noticeable 'handing' is lost from GT3 Coupe in everyday driving. Is the turn in softer, cowl or steering wheel shake over bumps? Thanks in advance.

I just want to know how it sounds in a tunnel.
Oh, and how it sounds in general vs the 991.2 GT3, ie what else does the filter cost?
And I'd also be interested in your impressions around throttle response and calibration. I've got a suspicion that it may not be a noticeable improvement because they'll limit response in software for drive-ability reasons. Instead I agree with those that suggest it was done to let the new engine breath with the old one, which leads to the obvious- will the old exhaust fit, and how much power does that make? That new exhaust with filter looks pretty heavy too? Maybe ask about CG height and torsional stiffness? Any suspension re-calibration necessary for the softer chassis. Tuning philosophy vs the R... How hard would it be to un-bolt the soft top and leave it behind a-la the 987 Spyder, and how much weight would that save?
On second thought I do have quite a few questions. Maybe better if I just speak to them in person.
