This should go a long way to confirming the 992 GT3 Cab and Targa.

Disagree. This basically confirms 992 GT3 will be NA, but doesn't mean anything regarding a 992 GT3 cab or Targa, neither of which is going to happen

I’m confused what this leaves the 2019 GT3 RS in Europe. Surely they didn’t develop two totally different GPF exhausts, so that gets this one? And the 22 pound reduction that goes with it? That’s enough to change handling in addition to the spec sheet. And obviously this exhaust has more back-pressure, but power, torque and rpms remain unchanged... because?

Or they did develop two GPF exhausts, and the other one just happens to weigh exactly the same as the current one and flow better than the one for the speedster?

Anyone seen a spec sheet change or exhaust on the ‘19 RS yet?

Gained 10hp from GT3 but lost 10hp from RS.

Ask a diesel owner how they like their particulate filter.
