I agree. I eat my hat as they made this engine rev to 9000 and have changed the valve train which gives some confidence in durability. I think its a win.

Perhaps some. For those that like measuring contests, the RS still has 1 more torque.

Kidding aside, I just want a low optioned manual with folders or sofas to park next to my RS and daily.

"Did you consider a low-drag car with the manual but no wing?
-Maybe that would make sense! "

Maybe the rumored T(ouring) model?

Is Porsche just trying to make it more difficult or is there an logical explanation to way they have chosen two different names for it?

1st one, yes. 2nd one, didn't see it available (but neither the Manual was available), but I don't think it will be available.

Kobalt - thanks for posting video. Always enjoy listening to AP describe the changes made to continually improve the GT3. He's a real car guy!
