What's wrong with waiting?
People with information has their sources, and the timing of how the information is leaked could very well compromise the sources. Some information are more privileged than others and needed to be held more closely.
Maybe you don't need to protect the source as you just dream of something out of thin air and don't understand that concept?

At the end there are so many privileged informations that makes everything like there s zero information

So I may have been wrong on the release date of the internal info to dealers but only because PAG changed the date. I stand by my other info regards GT3 that I mentioned back in April 2016. We won't have long to wait.
Oh..and BTW...I will put my predications up against fxz predications anyday..

Porsche has the same issue with the GT3 as they had with the Panamera GTS a couple of years back.
The GTS still had the V8 which everyone loved but the "regular" Panamera with the V6 Turbo was better in every measurable way. Faster, more torque, more economical... but nobody wanted the Turbo.
The new GTS will be so insanely fast that the NA GT3 will have to step up.
Therefore they will for sure bring a 4,0l engine in that thing and you have the "performance gap".
In the end, the GT3 makes a loooot of money. If it is outperformed in the straight line from a regular GTS a lot of the "well I actually don't go to the track but I like the feeling of the GT3" might take the GTS instead...

and guess what? 0-124mph IT S SLOWER THAN .1 GT3
go figure .2GT3...

We know the 991.2 GT3 is going to be unveiled this coming March. Production and delivery late 2018 and 19. Likely GT2RS reveal 2019 for production and delivery in late 2019.
By late 2017 2018 and into 2019 TwinTurbo's will be all the rage and predominate. TT technology will keep them far ahead of any NA engines performance and efficiency wise .
I just don't see how Porsche will keep GT cars competitive with NA Engines. I believe they will have to go TT. There is no BOP out on the street

On the street a sub 4s 0-62 NA is more than needed

I think the next RS is a GT2RS...
Evere slow corner exit following a TTS on sticky tires lays down four rubber stripes lighting up all four tires, while Im trying to follow with my current 991 RS, all I can do is wave

RS with a 4.49L NA 540Nm 560HP +active aero
would kill on track any AMG GT R 4.0 twinturbo 585HP 650Nm
and last longer without turbo heat / reliability
weight less either with more time on tyres
