AP on the GT3RS.2 and questions on suspension
#32
Aero/drag coefficient/downforce/cooling.... tires, TIRES.... diet/unsprung weight/CoG..... firmness/load/etc...etc.. = RS recipe alright.
$64,000 question is- will all this equate to a sub-7 Ringtime? We'll see soon, I hope.

This is like how it used to be in 997. RS engine is basically the same as a GT3. Extra air in and out and a remap. It's great that you get the real deal in the regular GT3 again. No probs for me that the RS is not a 4.2 or other significant upgrade.
Re competition being 200hp ahead, they're not in the same space anymore due to price. They compete with 1RS.
Competition is R8, AMG and i know which is rather have.

The 2RS demand and production is way up - the idea of a turbo track and or being more expensive doesn't bother their customers which speaks volumes.
I don't see how Porsche carries on with 2 track focus RS turbo's - seems a bit odd.

It would have been great if they won the most HP per Liter for a NA engine which I believe was achieved by the Speciale. I know Porsche is conservative in its numbers so may have already beat that figure. The Italians tend to be more optimistic for sure.

I'd be quite happy after RS.2 intro with either 4.0 GT3 manual, Rs.1, or RS.2. Cars seem level on performance for the most part.

From a very reliable source on Rennteam, the RS will be produced through July 2019 with no particulate filter.

Porsche is a master of filling every pricing niche (even when there doesn't seem to be room to squeeze in a new one). In this case, there is a big market of GT customers who are not able/willing to stretch to the $300k level...

My curiousity is piqued to know if one could retrofit the springs and sways of the .2 to a .1. Only concern might be the range of the dampers and whether they'd need to be revalved. As good as the .1 is, I have always found it too soft.

I won't say that I won't buy one before knowing the details, but makes me skeptical...

Not sure if one could entirely change over to the RS's PASM springs and shocks (and whatever software from the RS that is required to use them properly)...

Guys you have forgotten to address OP's concern and question that will this RS not be comfortable for public roads due to the suspension changes? Will ride be too harsh and stiff as compared to 991 gt3 gen 1?
