I agree the real gain comes from different factors. In fact as I wrote few days ago, the new RS will perform the classical 0-100 km/h in just 3,2 sec...compared to the 3,5 sec of the regular Gt3.
Only the extra 25 hp can't (alone) make a similar difference. And in reality we can expect a 3,1 sec 0-100 in the real world since as you know P. is always conservative. Just close to 650 S and Speciale (at least up to 100km/h) and faster than a regular 458 Italia.Impressive...

I hope we will be at max. 10.0 s for the new RS
... anything above would be not competitive with the 488 GTB announced in 8.3 s...

all the RS aerokits and bigger wing downforces will require
a loot more hp to be faster than a less aero-weighted GT3
so if +25 only ponies i ll pass but waiting you on the beautiful
lake of garda hopefully very soon

Sorry, well this is what i meant: I got an allocation of the dealer (out of 5). Configuration will be only possible later whenever Porsche reveils details. They expect the cars to be configured shortly, production starting shortly and delivery in summer 2015. About Geneva no information yet.

more interesting was that i read something about limitations to 500 here yesterday and i called him today and he confirmed something about 500 limitations (he is not into the internet - he declined where he got the information from but it sounded very familiar to him)
