Higher pitch.

I agree, they both sound amazing but the new one just inches ahead.

Any sense what the GT3 R price will be and whether one needs to prove intentions to race it?

"Here's new article about the GT3 R

That article is packed with factual inaccuracies (easier to say what few items they got right than wrong). Here is better info:

And attachment at bottom is interesting too...

And that " is suppose to change in the future ". HA!

Yep, and same engine as 2012 (Mezger)? - it is now DFI development from 991 GT3RS. And only costs $40k more than GT3? (actually costs more than 3 times as much...), doesn't have a PDK (has a sequential), etc.
