Agreed. Some MPSC2, a cobb tune and we are probably looking at 475bhp and 440lbft for a couple of grand outlay. And like Peter says all this whilst you have your red and black leather interior with all the fruit.

0-60 in 3.6 stock, not shabby....

And a decent possibility of having your pick on the outside colour as well.

They actually sound pretty good. Fabspeed already has a nice exhaust for them.

What if they offer an aero cup option for the GTS? Uh oh. What's the rational for a NA GT3 now?

I know you were being a little facetious, but it made me think about this (because the GTS is interesting in some ways) and these are the reasons I came up with:

1. LWB seats optional
2. ~50hp and 1,000 rpm more (with better response and sound)
3. Bigger brakes with better cooling
4. Suspension with real coilovers (height adjustable for corner-balance) and wider range of camber adjustment (with more monoballs and less rubber).
5. Adjustable sway bars to tune understeer/oversteer
6. Forged wheels
7. 6spd manual (vs 7 spd in GTS) should shift better
8. Better resale value performance
9. Developed in Weissach for the track
10. Dry sump oiling
11. Delivered with track tires

Feel free to suggest more (beyond the obvious, "it's a GT3" )

^^ irrelevant if you only want one for C&C and bragging rights and the very occasional track day.

seeing how Porsches pricing structure slotted the .1 gt3 msrp slightly below that of the .1 targa 4 GTS/4 gts cab, I can see the .2 gt3 being under 140k. Unless they up-charge the inclusion of the 4.0.

Yes, 5% increase on the GTS, so 5% increase on the GT3 would put it around $137k
