I'm really excited to see the new RS & how Porsche is going to differentiate it from the GT3.
I think the suspension will definitely be more track biased.
Personally, I'm in the same boat as Macca...the older I get I prefer a more compliant ride & find it's faster on bumpy roads. Look at EX-TEC, the suspension experts that supplied suspension to the WRC Citroen, their philosophy is to have softer spring with very strong shocks to keep the wheels on the road. I've had a few scary moments on bumpy roads in my RS.

while I realize that at road legal speeds the gt3 is a waste, I'm mostly excited ab the sound it makes when revving at idle, especially on busy San Francisco streets in between tall buildings. That paddle neutral function can make for some really cool revving sounds while stopped at the light, and the decreased turning radius can make for much easier U-turns at the end of the strip so you can go back and forth with ease. Perfect street car IMO.

I've had my deposit down for quite a while and I've been told I have a February build for a March delivery. However, I asked my dealer if he could get a specific date and when was my last chance for making spec changes. He went onto the Porsche system and said it just said February. He said if I wanted to change the spec he could send an email to Porsche and see what would happen.
But on here I read about build dates and spec lock-in dates. What has other people's experience been? I'm in the UK.

That suggests you are one of the many UK customers whose orders may be delayed (for what reason, no-one seems to know).
I was given my build date (27/1/14) before Xmas, and my car actually arrived early.

You should have been given a firm lock-down date and build date by now.

Got a response from my dealer: "Currently the car will be locked down on the 9th Feb with build estimated to be around the end of Feb."
I am celebrating with a cheese omelette.
