I have finally seen the car today .You "all" will love her.I can just tell.."more supercar" than before..Orange: not for me..too salmon looking color..at least under artificial lights.I will go with white.Weight: what I realized is that 1420 kg is without roll cage.And this is not good considering an extra 20 kg I think for this installation..But I hope to be wrong...Does someone know if the lighter battery will work with lift?I don't think I will need the lift but I eard that the standard battery in this case is necessary..

6spd manual, PFC brakes, Cup rear hubs/suspension to allow Cup 18" BBS wheels, and ditch RWS, and side mufflers. Doubt that would happen, but what a car that would be.

I've not heard anything about that. I'll ask Brendon Next time he's in New Zealand. I think it's a mule carrying the DFI carrera cup engine for next season :-)

well I got my commission number/build sheet from the GM at my dealer. It does not mean I have the official allocation/build date yet...which will be a few weeks away. It's in the system though !!!!

Bottom of the car:

Yes, the new lighter battery will work with the lift. I'm thinking ordering the new light battery for my GT3 with lift.

U just have to ask yourself if you need a lift for the RS AS the car is 2cm higher than the GT3,
. Many people survive in a 991 GT3 with no lift, though I'm glad I ordered in for my GT3. However, I wouldn't order the lift for the RS.

Any Naca ducts in the bottom front for extra brake cooling?

Obviously not better for you. But it seems like a few of us here want the 1rs street legal cup!

I understand that as I have owned the last of the raw GT3's...996.2. I am sure this Cup version will shake rattle and roll even more. I don't track enough to suffer that on the street. Sounds like this 991 street cup will be hard to get with very limited allocations.

Why can't your dealer give you one ? If they enter it into the dealers Porsche system, the commish # is generated...

When you had the 996, did you install the RS single mass fly and clutch ? That made it really rattle and roll at idle.

That thing took a beating! I had a white one, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before White was the GT3 marquee color. Whats crazy is i traded it in with 45,000 miles on it and they gave me 45k in trade in 2007. Depending on the miles it has it might be worth more now.

15,000 miles a year in a 2004 GT3 back in 2004, who else does that???? Good times man!
I had a Europipe 100 cat exhaust too. I traded it In Oct. for my current 3 for $65k with 13,000 miles.

What is all this talk about another RS being a "cup" version for the street?
Is this just pillow talk? Any facts?
