You forgot the bigger news back then, purple.

There will be a white, a yellow, a red, a blue, a black, a silver and perhaps a green. Some people will think it's just 4 colours with 3 shades of grey. Oh they might forget to paint some cars and leave just the primer on, which they called chalk.

No Formula 1 interest even in light of the continuing of the engine guys building the 2.2 liter twin turbo v-6. Also I asked about 960 in WEC. He said they are waiting on the next set of regulations but agreed the hypercar route for LMP! would attract a lot of manufacturers.

On the street 20hp is just bench racing.
It just drives me crazy when I hear comments about how "its not worth it if it's only 25hp more".....as if that's the only difference. As soon as they all see a sub 7 minute ring time, everybody will be having wet-dreams trying to get their hands on the lowly 525hp RS...and then magically nobody cares how much hp it has anymore. Not to mention, the RS is for the track not the street, it's not all peak power that makes it fast. The midrange in the .2GT3 is already strong, so the RS will be even better.

If you're in the market for an RS, the HP number isn't what makes the car, it's the total package. Expecting some huge HP leap within a model designation, 991.1 to 991.2 typically doesn't happens, it's the sum of the parts. Whether it's 20hp more, or 35hp more, the new RS will hand the old one it's azz. That you can count on.

Ouch. Lol. That’s why Porsche offers PTS - there’s a color for everyone, at a price. As much as I love Riviera Blue, I prefer the bright colors on the older 911s - it must be the size of the 991s, not sure. For myself, the subtle colors wear better.

Shhhh Mvez - be quiet. With any luck enough people will turn down the car so I will get first in line. You an me know this car is terrific - DO NOT TELL the others... it is our secret.

Funny- car has not even been released with complete details and everyone already bitching. But I do have my popcorn out and will watch this all from my .2.

Smile Rest of the world Delivery of GT2 RS

got to know something interesting. good news for the rest of the world not so good for US and European customers. apparently, the new GT2 RS has to be delivered and registered in these markets before the end of June of this year. PAG has not confirmed any orders to any of the dealers outside these markets tell date waiting to see how much they can produce and deliver to these market before they can confirm to the rest of the world. It seems that they would not be able to meet their targets to deliver those cars to those markets in time to meet the emissions regulations in those markets and as a result, the surplus cars will be directed to the rest of the world where these regulations are not yet in effect. It is expected very soon that PAG will inform the dealers for those markets to confirm their orders for the GT2 RS. and deliveries to those markets should start from late summer.
