clubsport = standard means weight includes roll cage, 6 point belt, fire estinguisher which 991 GT3 doesn't include, they account for 25-30 kg so difference is more than 10kg with same equipment

so to have a lower weight we need to buy the light battery (-13,5kg) and the carboceramic (+-14kg ?).
In this case the total saving would be close to 37,5 kg compared to the standard Gt3?
so could the car at the end,weights about 1420 kg (official) minus 27,5 kg (options)?

At +$45,000 for -10 kg, that's $4.50 per gram. No wonder replacement stickers are so pricey!

If you don't intend to track - I would get PCCB's. But don't count on getting the money back when selling the car.

It's a beautiful car aesthetically. Gorgeous!
As far as the inner guts of it for the performance/mechanical guys, the accountants over there seem to have the most power. I'm coming to that conclusion from the comments posted.
They are good at balancing what they give out for how much $$. Much like a good woman of the night...

Ive had it confirmed Max RPM was originally to be 9000 and this was the only significant change made to the vehicle after the 991 engine debacle. They used the RS fastener in the 991 GT3 RS to improve reliability and they down graded the RS max RPM for reliability.
Shame teh torque is 460 not 480
Weight Ive been told will be greater than 991 GT3 for USA where glass instead of plastic window!

I want the "Purple People Eater" version, bring's me back to my old high school colour days. The few that are not impressed and have a promised allocation, I'II take it if you don't want it.

It seems that this RS follows in the steps of the 997-1 RS. Only marginally better than the 997-1 GT3 on paper. But I'm sure the suspension is completely redesigned and all kinds of other tricks have been done. I'll reserve my judgement until Pete Stout and the rest of the press drive it.
But man does it look absolutely stunning!

At $175 vs the non-Porsche competition, it's still a bit of a bargain - I expected it to be more tbh, so I'm going to go ahead with both of my orders and replace the 1.3 with the second one.
