Frankly, they are running out of different 911 to invent.
Porsche BOSS: "lets make the new GT3 a 4.0 and a manual so that people will buy another billion dollars of cars again."
Porsche Assistance Boss: " But boss, isnt that a 911R without a wing?"
Porsche BOSS: "umm, OK, forget the 4.0. Put back the 3.8 and put bigger wings and tires on it. That would make it different. That was close, good catch. We have a winner guys. Good job!"

Just sharing what I was told. I think RS is turbo b/c of the new RSR. I'll try and get some info at Lemans as I'll be in Porsche hospitality and have grid/hot passes for the weekend. Also gotta keep on the RS allocation hunt.

i like smaller free revving engines. Anyone else concerned about the consequences of higher displacement motors? Mostly lower redlines and less free revving abilities? I know the RS is a 4.0, but if I'm not mistaken I felt the 3.8 be more 'revvy.'
