The 991 GT3 is 3153lbs without fuel curb weight in its lightest configuration.
About the same as 997RS.

My car had an 80lb roll bar and seat belts in it, but had 50lb side muffler delete.

Anywho, Porsche could have made a 140lb lighter GT3 comparing apples to apples, making it 2910 lbs with the same specs as my 997's.
They won 140lbs and than added it back in mostly with PDK, RWS and the wrong seats.

Is there a confirmed unveiling/release date for the GT3 RS yet?

Well within reach if they want it.

Ugh. I really, really hope not. The GT3 RS really has to be a more extreme version of the GT3. Period.

Just random rumors from random media outlets. But, in the event anyone from PAG is reading this, a GT3-anything should really be N/A. If you're going to make it a Turbo, you already have a model for that, it's called the GT2 / GT2 RS. Don't make a GT3 RS if you don't want it to be N/A.

Thank you.

Not sure if i read that wrong, or if google translate did something.. but did they say they might skip the GT2 and make the GT3 a turbo?

the turbo rumor is really something....

although, i did say that if they cannot give us the motorsport engine, they might as well skip the GT3RS and give us a turbo DFI GT2....

You read it right, but big question as to whether they wrote it right
