Weight. Not faster, just easier to drive.

Price justification commencement starts.
Surely the seats and Sport Chrono package including Track app and laptimes preparation will be included in the RS.

I can get a GT3 under $140K.
A bit if an adjustment in std equipment expectations if you are used to say a Kia, or a 1993 MB 500E..

just out of curiousity... why the telephone module? what does that get you?

also if primarily a track car, not sure I understand why $1100 on sat/hd radio, etc., but that one is certainly more a personal preference thing, maybe enjoy to/from the track, etc... but I am not even sure I understand what telephone module is, or why needed... ? car comes standard with Bluetooth, right?

thanks

Still no evidence of the air vents above the wheels.

If there are three GT3 RS's in San Fran with door jambs in the suggested Launch colors,,, I'm kind of curious why no one is thinking there might be just a small chance that we may be looking at the actual Launch cars that (might? (wild *** guess)) in LA in a few weeks?
I probably missed a post that proves this can't be possible...

Curious to see what responses come. I just checked the LA auto show website and Porsche will be in the Petree Hall. It is the only manufacturer in that hall. For those who know, does that possibly indicate anything? Is this a big hall for big debuts or a small neglected one? I may be over analyzing.

I don't know, blue tooth listed as an option, better make sure, I use it.
I've read people not having Blue tooth, my 2010 did not, wont make that mistake again.
Nav does not weigh anything and nice for 5 month Euro delivery but I need XM, may just add XM and use I pad fro GPS.

This will also be my daily driver, like the previous RS. Now DD is split between 500E and RSA.

Nah, launch cars need to be factory floor fresh, they cant be cleaned up proper enough for a show...

Sam, looks like the LA auto show is expecting at least 1 debut from Porsche according to its site (http://laautoshow.com/debut-vehicles/). Months ago journalists were stating the 992 (or 1.2) was slated for LA, so who knows what's up Porsche's sleeve.

They already announced the GTS will be there - I hope there is more than that.
