Lots of other detail changes too. But I want those mirrors if they kill the buffeting!

Nice one chuckbdc! Looks great, the only part I think is a bit strange is the rear lower valance(?), looks a bit heavy handed, also the interior is looking a bit to plush. Other than that, things are looking good, let's wait for the specs and more photos...

So a 475+hp GT3 for $130k, compared to about $100k for a C2S or $120k for a 430 hp X51 C2S. The extra $10 or $30k gets you a nearly completely new engine, all-new/lighter/faster PDK, completely new front and rear suspension and rear-steering that makes the car feel smaller, more precise and agile, better brakes, better steering, better aero, forged center lock wheels, and is altogether better both on the track and as a daily driver- a car so good in fact that Andreas Preuninger says it is better than the RS 4.0. For all that you give up very little in creature comforts- so little in fact that people are already complaining its not Spartan enough. I'll probably take some flack for this, but in terms of the realm it runs in it sounds to me like a bargain.

The new 991 GT3 is sharing 4 components with the 991 C2S,according to Preuninger :
1) Crankcase...and here it's a difference : the RAW casting crankcase,the machining is different than that of a C2S.
2) Same heads bolts...I found this funny
3) Drivetrain chains
4) Generator
As to Preuninger's own statement : quote '' EVERYTHING ELSE IS NEW ! ''

They finally fixed PDK!!!
The shifter finally works in the right direction! Pull to up shift and push to downshift! Finally!!
Hopefully they change the regular models as well. Never understood how marketing managed to override the racers the first time around. They could not get away with it for the GT3.
