Based on information so far not sure I'd give up a pts .1 for a non-pts .2. But that depends on the standard colors offered.

There must be a bigger hook on the .2 that's not revealed yet.

I'm sure majority of us will be calling our dealers and offering our wives and kids for an allocation and I will be one of them most likely
So true. Rennlist protocol:
1. nah, no reason to upgrade
2. who do I need to kill?

Never had an issue with brake cooling so unless they’re introducing new calipers that make pad changes easier I don’t care. RWS recalibration? Meh. Serious trackers are binning the whole system and liking it better. The delta would allow you do stuff like the above plus lightweight exhaust and Mg wheels and still leave money in your pocket for consumables.

That’s for real drovers. If you’re a wrapper or looking for street cred then of course latest is greatest. Oh, and last of the NA RS’s. There’s that.....maybe.
.1RS 4.0 made the cut. Ran in the '15/'16 GT3R. Flawlessly. Has proven to be a very very reliable engine. More so than the Mezger actually. So it doesn't rev to 9000. It revs to 8800. Yawn.

I am still very interested in the .2GT3RS if I can get one at msrp and especially PTS. It will no doubt be faster then the .1 of that we can be certain. Doesn't detract from the fact the .1 is still epic and the fact the better move is always from RS to RS not RS to GT3 imho.

An RS is an RS. Fact.

If you score a .2RS in PTS at MSRP you should load up on lottery tickets as well.

Isn't it a bit weird that guys are already making a big fuss of PTS without even knowing what standard and premium colors will be offered?

This is Rennlist.

If they don't make a fuss about anything there won't be any posts.

Just be glad they are not talking about value.

Yet.

Based on the .2 PTS thread, green is the new blue or grey. Lots of green cars coming up, and Porsche noticed with Lizard, an updated Irish green...even the name is 'gotta have it'. lol

It is likely presented before Geneva so we can book tickets and fly to Geneva and watch the car.
If I remember correctly it was done like this with the 991.1RS

It will not look like that. Think Gelbgrün instead

yeah, this sample looks like a lighter irish green. personally, on the RS, i'd prefer gelbgrun, and on a more 'simple' targa or carrera i like the darker greens.
