In turbo-tuning terms, this is mere 6% of what a supercharger pumps for some 150hp more and 1.5% of a hefty turbo for some 200hp on a same displacement engine...

Just wondering, is 5-7hp worth the scream??

We are the ones speculating like a day trader on his tenth Espresso...

The reality is that, at least in the U. S., 90% of customers who want to buy a GT3 RS will get one. There are mutiple rounds of allocations, and I believe the GT3 is on the fifth round of allocations (if you include the special batch of PTS cars).

Yes, even at zero hp, the scream is worth it...

Impossible to wrong with white on RS, especially as it won't be top color on this gen. Plus, white is fastest.
