Agreed, probably closer to 525 than 550. A combination of ram-air and under-rating/conservatism

Agree. Not a big fan of the exterior colorway, but that interior is hot.

Can't wait for a Chris Harris review. It's a shame most will be tucked away in collections.

Grant. All of that I believe is correct. MT means mech diff (easiest). Im just hoping its better than their usual chocolate affairs (Ive rebuilt a few factory M220 option LSDs over the years with Guards packs - they dont give much more than 3000 track miles and they are toast). PCCB contributes to headline weight.

silver with red strips sounds like business

I changed out my 997.2 diff for a GT diff, what a nice difference on the track. This will hopefully allow the same thing and who knows, maybe the clutch packs are no longer made of chocolate, but something that will last.

Any 918 owners out there that do not want the 991R?
Could I purchase yours? - please contact, thanks!

I thought the 918 preferred buyer program was for and including GT cars and any (keyword) limited edition cars.

No, someone earlier in the thread questioned the R as a regular car and not a part of the 918 program.
