and I even remember him saying that the painted CF wing on the 4.0 was LIGHTER then the clear coated 3.8RS wing.
So how did a CF clear coated frunklid and roof get lighter then painted CF and Magnesium?

Yes I didn't want to argue this point but I think they have a new process that makes the roof lighter.......by 1 pound. I don't think the wing and hood weigh less but with the newer prep process prob the same weight as the painted stuff. Carbon fabrication has dramatically improved, just look at what BMW has been doing, The work on their chassis alone is incredible and seeing the not to mention what they have been doing for years at McLaren. I think this is just progress and minor at best I mean why would adding a coat of paint and clear coat be lighter in the older cars? Again the process to cleat coat the Carbon had to be different back then. When you look at the GT2RS with the WP stripes it really looks dramatic compared to the older "stickers on carbon" feel of the older stuff. I could be wrong and this could be all be a great marketing trick

In his defense there are different type of CF. the stuff use in porsche are not the best. maybe the used a better cloth.... or... just marketing. and the wt difference is likely negligible

Just put my first 50 miles on the 3RS. She is a different animal to the 2RS. Less power is actually nice in a way for street driving. More playful.
i will post a proper opinion after some more time in her.
Anyone that can keep it under 4K rpm for 2000km has willpower far beyond me.
great car

Mean!! All black with that roof crease and the Aurum(?) wheels looks incredible.
