Didn't they just "improve" the 7 speed PDK in the .2 GT3?
Maybe similar fine tuning in suspension, clearance for the wheels, RWS, more down force front, better front brake cooling like the GT2RS and some new crap inside?

I don’t think an 8 speed is likely until 992.

I am guessing it will be mostly colors with the tweaks mentioned above. I really love green cars so maybe I will take a shot at getting one if ADMs are not too crazy. Hopefully not as it does not sound like any huge upgrades from .1.

Not gonna lie. If it's just another 20 hp I'm disappointed. I was hoping for at least a 30 hp jump minium. If they put the increase at 40 hp that would be huge.

A 20 hp difference and some suspension upgrades and brake cooling can be accomplished aftermarket for much less. I can put GMG or Dundon headers on and easily blow past a 20 hp increase. GMG also makes suspension mods for the track.

Hard to justify all the green going out for 20hp extra.

I gues we will have to wait and see.

You can’t have Flat-6, NA, and huge power. Choose 2

Either add cylinders, forced induction, or be happy with “Only” ~520hp...

Yeah, but see I already have an RS. That's how it works.
When you step up to an RS you'll understand.

If the 992 is turbocharged, the 8-speed will be here just in time for it to no longer be very helpful...

Maybe 8th will be a cruising gear...

But...PAG told us the 9A1 4.0 was good for 600+hp.
At least give us 30hp extra.

Not while meeting noise and emissions regs and lasting anywhere near the warranty period...

Not really. Everyone just assumes it will be the same sad palette as offered for the 1.2GT3...with perhaps a couple of minor tweaks at best. The big news when the 1.1RS came out was that salmon was newly available. Talk about a let down.

"Salmon" LOL. I had a 997.2RS. I consider the 991RS a significant upgrade.
