After a RY 991.2GT3 and a GR GT4 i've decided i want a period in a stealthy understated GT Porsche..So i'm getting a Black RS with the Weissach pack and Platinum Mag wheels..Its well specced with LEDs,Lift,Bose and Silver stitched leather..
I can't wait especially after finding out it'll have the ITBs..

The throttle response you observed Stout is interesting. I have always disliked electronic throttle bodies (aka drive by wire), maybe it was the Audi that tried to kill me when the throttle body stuck open (the immediate stick your toe under and lift the pedal obviously has no effect), but more likely I always felt that there was a smidge of lag. My theory being that no throttle actuator could open as quickly as mashing a pedal connected to cable to a butterfly. In fact, the best throttle response I ever experienced was on an MFI long hood. Maybe the ITBs open more quickly or maybe it is the shorter distance to the combustion chamber, regardless, I believe your impression.

After a tip off i phoned my SE and requested him to email me a copy of his OPC's 'Standard equipment' page on their online configurator..It turns out it was only updated this morning..
Here's the important bits.
Two 3-way catalytic converters,gasoline particulate filters and on-board diagnostics for monitoring the
emission control system.
Variable plastic intake manifold with two switchable resonance valves and six individual throttle valves.
Lightweight Sport exhaust system in stainless steel with silencer and two central stainless steel tailpipes.
Max power now reached at 8400rpm Was at 8250rpm before
Max torque '' '' '' 6250 '' '' '' 6000rpm ''
Both max power and torque the same as before ie 520PS and 470Nm..
I'm in the UK btw..

Are we certain that the new steel exhaust with the filters is 20% lighter than the old Titanium exhaust with mufflers? Could be that the 20% porsche is quoting is comparing the old GT3 steel exhaust with the new steel one rather than vs the titanium one of the RS?
Anyone know the actual weights of the old Titanium Gen2 RS exhaust and the new Speedster/RS steel one? I know the mufflers are heavy but swapping out a titanium exhaust plus mufflers for s steel one plus filters AND saving 20% of the weight is impressive if true.

Pretty sure the comparison is to steel GT3 exhaust.

There is hardly any difference in weight between the RS's exhaust and the GT3's steel version IIRC..The only part of the Rs's exhaust which is Ti is the Tips and part of the rear muffler.
I'll be replacing the rear muffler and tips of my upcoming RS with JCR's Titanium center delete and tips..As the new RS will have a SS in these two parts its even more beneficial to fit JCR's exhaust.

Perhaps I’m one of the first ones taking delivery of the “991.3” GT3 RS EU version.... Build date is now set to June 19th with delivery around four weeks later / UNLESS they choose to take it out of the normal loop for quality control. Nevertheless, I will make sure to share all I can asap.
Dealer is still in the dark when it comes to final specs.... and believe me, they are as frustrated as we are....

This is so crazy, that the last bit of a model run has such a significant engine spec change, and yet there is no model name differentiation.
While j don't believe in "investment" when it comes to mass-produced cars, I do think that whoever gets one of these unicorn-level end of series 991.2 GT3 RS with the ITB will have something of a treasure in their hands.
In 30 years.. Rennlist will have mass convos and interest in this storyline.
