It's fun to speculate but when people start taking thinking this is anything more, then it gets silly.
.2 will be better than what came before it. That much is certain. After that, who knows. Me, I'll drive my car and be happy knowing I have what will likely be one of the great NA GT cars ever built.

I don't think fxz should be banned, although he stops short of insulting people and he provides consistently bad information, which can't be accidental. I truly believe he enjoys trolling and in that sense he's very good at it. would be more fun though if he tried to be a positive contributing member, as this is a very lightly moderated forum with a great community. Hopefully over time he'll enjoy making friends rather than alienating potential ones. It's a forum after all, the definition of a no-consequence light-hearted environment, he's free to make silly prognostications and cryptic statements at will.

Sort of. Fact is that many here just threw gasoline on the fire and joined in.

And I haven't notice any serious insulting,even though I have gone " a few rounds " with him. If there's any sort of insulting then it's a different story,but contradictory arguments,even though silly arguments are used shouldn't bring someone to get banned IMO.

This whole thread is speculation, nothing is truly confirmed until a PORSCHE press release has been made or they have launched the car at a show.
Some on this board have very tight connections with Porsche executives/employee's or PR people and get info word of mouth...but to be able to tell who those are actually is impossible.
My source/"friend" has told me that the 991.2 GT3 will be: 4.0L with manuel and PDK option and will look just like the leaks we have seen and have a updated front bumper look like the GT4.
But again this is speculation, but I choose to believe what he/she says...and this tends to fall in line with Porsche past recipes/releases.
Porsche is in the business of making cars and money and now that its owned by VW, the board wants more made and more models being introduced more quickly as PORSCHE is the cash cow and best money maker for the VW group especially after diesel gate.
Based on that it makes perfect sense for Porsche to make the updated 991.2 GT3 like the 911R as they already made the gearbox and the motor is already on the assembly line from the 991R and RS and we know how Porsche loves using the parts bine from older "more expensive" models to get better ROI on the parts and R&D investment.
Ok, stepping of my soap box, thats my $0.02

^^ Porsche has followed a pretty simple formula for a very long time. You called it out exactly.
I would say though its all speculation until cars can be ordered...

I agre that fxz is harmless. After a few years on RL we have to create our own mental blocking function. Most guys on here are really good.
Just need to have a bit of filter.
I'm just qurious to what product is going to keep AP busy throughout the winter? R and RS is lilely done by the end of the year. Panamera, cayman and 991GTS in Paris.
