That is the largest OEM Wing (72"+?) I've ever seen on a Factory Car.
Looks at least 12" longer than either the GT3RS or Crawford Wings.

I fully expect the GT3-R to being using a new powerplant. Should be less expensive than the mezger (to build and maintain), to help control costs for customer racing.

GT3 format has too many options now. Motor rebuild intervals and costs of the current 997 GT3-R are a joke compared to say the Audi R8 GT3 variant, which last way long and are a lot less expensive.

Porsche knows this. Hence, new engine and the delayed release for more development.

Just my opinion.

Is there any chance that the XM Radio wart will be put on the back deck lid like they did on my 991 TTS?

I ordered XM, I expected it on the roof, but maybe not?

Its on the roof so I deleted the option. There are so many vents and body features that I wanted to keep it as clean as possible

I skipped it on my GT3 and will again on the RS. The wart was the main reason, but it's very easy to stream music over bluetooth or through the USB port - I don't miss it at all.

How do you stream XM, and what if Internet connection is slow?
Doesn't affect blue tooth phone calling?

Yeah I don't even listen to XM I just Bluetooth my internet radio and listen for FREE only issue is the Porsche Bluetooth sometime is a bit quirky.

Does anyone know if the roof wart is also related to HD radio option??
