And even with the revisions from E to F to G, things still are unsettled enough that PAG lowered the redline in the RS to 8800, and it's a progressive redline up to 8800, not an absolute redline for all gears.

The 4.0L has a lower redline because the geometry causes a higher piston speed at the same rpm and peak power occurs lower.
There is zero chance the dot 2 is going to be inferior to the 1.

I'm just repeating... Don't shoot the messenger.

How the heck is a GT3 supposed to content with the speculated 380lbft of torque for a gen 2 GTS on the track? Heck even the 368lbft for the S as stated is beyond what any next gen GT3/RS can muster even with a 4.2 power unit! Torque will be the biggest headache for the GT team in this new era. A PDK 450 BHP/380lbft GTS on TrofeoR will give a 9.2 4.0L 500 BHP/340 lbft GT3 a close run for its money at the track with a skilled driver?

The 991.2 is already in my budget. I'm assuming 117,500 trade in on my 991.1 GT3 with an msrp of 150k. Should still be less than 10k miles by then. I rather be pleasantly surprised if I get more opposed to expect it will keep holding value.

I have a hard time believing the .2 will have 9k especially if the go manual. They will need a lil cushion for those mechanical over revs. Otherwise there will be way too many money shifts.

Yes, but lowering the redline by 200 rpm does nothing for this either.
With the wider ratios of the 6spd, the car will not be nearly as frenetic to shift compared to PDK-S. It would be just fine with 9k redline (assuming the engine mechanicals are up to it).

Also, I don't think many of you are taking into account that 3.8L 9krpm, is much different from having 4.0L with 9krpm.. Different beast.
