The 500hp and 4.0L seem plausible. The Turbo body is most likely definite as the mules all have them. Everything else, excluding price, I am skeptical of. I really can't see the RS not having RWS as it obviously adds to the cars performance. Without it, the GT3 may be as fast or faster than the RS which I can't see Porsche allowing.

RWS clearly makes car more approachable for less skilled drivers but don't believe it adds enough to laptimes to offset negatives for track junkies. dump the RWS you dump the weight, get the option of using Lion battery, and have clean rear suspension to tune for track.

I agree - I also think the electric motors that control the RWS on threaded control rods would have a terrible time with big rear slicks and high laterals (from the wider rear track and big wing). I think the GT3 doesn't allow real slicks and the RWS may be the reason, IMO...

RWS delete, lightweight headlights, no washer option, light weight battery option should be optional at a minimum.

$150k - All go fast options std, seats std, wider body, more downforce and CF roof.
Add 10k for manual.
$160k - add cf frunk lid like the 50k corvette, add a little power.
Add 10k for manual.
$170k - Wider front CF fenders, and CF rear deck lid.
Add 10k for manual.
I'd consider the above with a PDK-S, or at least try it.

Add 8 cyl put manual back to more than compensate for the weight gains, sell CS package in a box and price is 20% below the Ruf RGT8.
3100lbs, 600HP, more tq, I would have to have it.
