$50K wing, take my money

I'll wager money that is NOT the production RS aero pkg... isn't that simply the Turbo (S) aero?

Larry Cable

or simply they cant be bothered build a turbo based body without the intakes on the sides???

That is actually a really old spy shot of the 991 GT3 when it was running carrera aero kit + gurney flap. It was running that configuration during most of it's development. I used to follow the car religiously back then.

I figured it was something familiar

Sorry, I probably should have mentioned it was an old picture. It's always interesting to see what Porsche is testing... and if/when it shows up in production.

Interesting. Is C&D known for having reliable info?

TRAKCAR

Looks like maybe Porsche just found $160000.00 Trakcar dollars.

For those of you who would be inclined to have an RS with a manual (I would love one), would you be disappointed if it was only a 6spd? I would, but I might prefer it to the PDK-based 7spd manual in the Carrera (shift quality is often maligned). Maybe a close ratio 6spd G50-based box with a limited top speed would be a nice choice? I would hate to trade in-gear performance for the privilege to shift and losing the 7th gear would be a real sacrifice, unless top speed was close to what the PDK box achieves in 6th gear.

If true, 4.0 values will fall quite a bit.

Whoa, that's contrary to everything we've heard. That would be amazing. Now I want both.

Sweet baby jesus. A higher rev limit and three pedals?

I cannot even imagine a 9,500 RPM 991 GT3 RS being up/down shifted with both legs and an arm. That is just lunacy! I LOVE IT!

We should probably not get too excited, though. It sounds too good to be true.

Y. careful what you wish for.. Ha Ha.. Happy shifting..

Ring times are anecdotal for me but.. :
Ring of 991 GT3 at 7:25, while 4.0 at 7:27. If they don't up the HP to much, wonder if the Ultimate 911 in PDK, will best the Ultimate Ultimate 911 in stick.. - Suspect they will have to do both options if they go stick. I

I haven't been over 6, 6,500 maybe in break in at 1k miles, and the shifts are quick.. Will finally try the intoxicating 9k when the snow clears, but Dang. .

.. and I have no idea the accuracy.
