ipse dixit

Heard from a pretty good source it will not.

ipse dixit

Because of the worldwide recall in 2014?

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.

As you say, that's what the revisions were for. Porsche would have a hard time making more power with a lower redline at the same 3.8L.

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.

So I was making out with the cleaning lady last night and after a couple of glasses of red, she whispered in my ear that you were wrong...

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?

V8?

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.

If .2 GT3 is turbo .1 GT3 instant classic.

I think AP at Porsche and his team just read this forum and laugh. Not nice Mr. P.

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.

CHADW

Regardless of redline, there is a rev limiter...

RealityGT

Rev limiter doesn't help with a money shift..

GrantG

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).

RealityGT

8800 on RS with PDK-S.. I would imagine manual would be 8krpm.
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.

GrantG

I think you are low-balling by a wide margin. Look at the 911R - manual with 4.0L and 8,800 rpm. No reason 991.2 GT3 should be any less...
