^^^Other than to get Manual why?? The .2RS will be even sicker. I just prefer Manual and find the RS to be just too much with the wing and less prettier than the GT3. But make no bones about it - the .2Rs will exceed every ones' expectation.

I think this will be correct.

Mostly the reasons you suggest. RS maybe a bit too much to drive without full-on disguise . Anyway if anyone wants to swap, I forgot to say I'm in the UK.

Any many of us want the CS package. I guess we move to Germany.

Go in and make changes.

"But the main point on this engine is the cylinder head. We changed the valvetrain to almost a race car or motorcycle engine so we do not have any longer the hydraulic valve adjusters, we threw them out. So you cannot adjust the play in the valves, which is not necessary because it will never change because of the materials involved here. We ran one engine on the dyno for 300,000km and it did not change, not one a half a tenth and we did it several times. So the owners do not have to worry that they have to go to the dealer every 10,000km to adjust the shims.

"The advantage is you need a lower oil pressure because the hydraulic valve lifters, they need to be fed, they need pressure and oil lines through them ... this is a part that calls for a lot of oil pressure and to create oil pressure you need a pump. Mostly you need the oil only for the bearings but they don't need the pressure.

"We have new finger followers with a stiff connection to the valve without any hydraulic adjustment between, which makes it lighter, which makes it a lot lighter to turn, which makes the forces pressure forces between the cam lobe and the finger follower much less - it is about 20 per cent less - so the material is less stressed without the pressure and it just frees up horsepower by deleting it. These are elements which called for a different head design, which called for a different geometry - you can't just go to a gen one engine and take them out! It is a new head and it is worth at least six, seven, eight, nine horsepower, something like that just with less friction."

Just came back from my dealer and signed the contract for my 991.2 GT3. Now i just have to wait.

Two things I didn't find on the configurator and they will confirm tomorrow, the painted Roll Bar in either White or Red and the Manual wasn't in the configurator. So they took a note on it and to be confirmed with Porsche tomorrow.

What I heard:

PDK available from the get go, start of production CW28 (second week July)

Manual available CW36 (first week September) ‘at the earliest’

Cars will be model year 2018

Probably not a USA option.
