... so that we would have the option of running on slicks at the track. I recall that this option seemed available with the earlier GT3 or RS's and I wonder if it has now become an engineering problem to provide for such flexibility (e.g. stouter suspension parts and adjustments?) with the later cars.

It's aggressive which is good. I would have preferred the teeth to be straight. That's where it's gets the shark effect that looks so new and different..

So, for the following at Paris:
GT2 - No
GT2 RS - No
GT3.2 - No (maybe some styling q's from the cup)
When will we see these cars?

The front looks great to me. I'm really excited for the 991.2 GT3. As far as 8500 rpm redline, I will take an 8500 rpm redline engine with more torque and reliability over the 9000 rpm 3.8 any day of the week.

Oil lubrication
Valve train
Crankshaft
4.0 L lower max rpms
all mods compared to a 9a1 are for reliability
unique the 9a1 GT3 keeps the record of highest 9k rpms
flat6 ever
somebody could care less but looking collectors going crazy for '70 pts go figure this one next 10 years

Anyone think there will be a rear diffuser on the 991.2 GT3 street car?
Can't imagine the street version having a wing like the Cup. And something has to balance out the downforce, no?

There was a rumor of a Touring package with just a retractable rear wing (and possibly a diffuser too), but not sure if that will happen or not. Standard wing will be better for the track.

IMO it would make a lot of sense in this market. Doesn't seem to be be sensitive to a price increase. Long list of buyers at dealers.

I will be very surprised if there are any significant body/down-force changes to the .2. New lights, bumpers, PCM, and engine but not big wings or lots of carbon pieces with a modest price increase. The others are for the RS.

Personally I wouldn't over think it.
What you see is what you will get with street car. We had the leaked 3D images already and they are spot on.
There will be no wing delete or rear diffuser. It's all here in front of you.
fxz. Those statements of new crank, oiling, fixed rocker valve train are all made to compare the new cup with the old. You can't translate these to the street engine. In fact a number of articles refer to this as the engine in the GT3RS street car etc...
I'd be surprised if the launch the GT3 street car before Xmas but it could be possible I guess. Cup cars will start being delivered by Xmas.
It will be easier to see the look in plain white. We have to remember this car is wider front and rear to street car and the bumper may be tweaked a little for street car etc...
