I like the sound of 435 hp AND 100lbs less. Now that may tempt me to fork over 80- 90K after tax dollars.

^ Exactly! Add a few ponies AND reduce weight. Which why I am waiting for the 991 GT3/RS.

435 and 100lb less w/ all the gizmos would have been nice.
Now the GT3, what HP will that have? The gt3/gt3 rs/gt3 rs 4.0 have 435/450/500 respectively. I say 460 for a "base" GT3. Oh yeah AND weight under 3000lbs!

I think you are dead on with that! Likely 480 or so and 30-40 lbs lighter than the 3 for the RS. Add PDK of course and we'll have a killer.

The x51 package will give you 25 or so more hp, when it comes out. For $16K. They need to keep something in reserve for more $. Or the 991.2 will have 430 in S form when that comes out. For the same price, assuming the $ doesn't go to hell.

If 997.2 has the 9A1 engine, perhaps the 991 will have the 9A2 engine
