My dealer asks for deposits on the RS...which means absolutely nothing as far as I'm concerned...

Jerseybean,

I'm in between those two colours myself, if in fact those are the choices!

All,

Can anyone photoshop that black wide body (persumably the RS) in Gulf Blue and one in Signal Orange with black wheels??

I originally placed my name on the list for a 997 GT3. I was #3 on the list for that car. I called the dealer back about a month ago, and asked to be placed on the list for just the RS. I called back this week, and asked for a faxed confirmation from the dealer, with my deposit information specifing just the RS. The saleslady, told me that I am #1 on the RS list. - This is from the largest P dealer in Houston.

I hope this is going to happen. I am not holding my breath.

i do, been tracking with jack and the guys. good car, fantastic value -- finally a sunbeam of promise from Porsche!!! the new 3 and 3 RS look good, and the new TT tip is a rocket, altho' ugly and heavy, so i'll be back in P ville soon.

great photo dhinckle, thx...

I like the 7/7-7/8 Limerock II event. I will mail for that on opening mail in day in May. I will already have had 2 PDA track days this year prior to this event. Lime Rock is short but rythmic...I always look forward to seeing how fast I can take the 'uphiller'...

997TTS

These are the Spec for the 997GT3RS

3.600 cc
415 HP (same engine as GT3)
Wide Body
PASM (Yes it will have PASM)
TC
Aerokit different from GT3
Lighter than GT3 (How much? Don't know yet)

I'm curious where these specs came from... I find it highly suspect they'd offer PASM and TC on the same car.

MJSpeed

I second that motion...where did you get these, not that we don't believe, it's just hard for a first time poster to have the credibility on this type of "info." Please don't take it personal.

997TTS

I might be a first time poster here, but I do have some credibility.
Maybe Grant (Denver) can vouch for me.

Do you really think the Motorsport Department in Weissach would choose a PASM system if they hadn't felt it was the best system for the car?

Yes, they are the same ones that assured people that the Ceramic rotors would last 100k miles.

Hi Cos did you sell your GT3? I sold mine a couple weeks ago and will get the GT3RS. Until than I will enjoy my new 73 RS clone

MJSpeed

Like I said don't take it personal, just want to know your source, but if you're a friend of Grant's then consider the same here!

CF is that you??

Dealer will tell you anything to get money. Bait and switch. DOT will not have a real RS in the US. If an RS come here it will not be the same as the ROW. It will just be a badge.

I think i just figured out something interetesting to everyone here.

If you look closely at the "widebody" RS spy pictures, take a look at the size of the front brakes. They are definitely larger than the regular GT3 and the rears. In the picture they look like 15" ceramics, which must be same/similar size as CGT.

Now thats some serious braking!!

NJ-GT

That's kind of weird.

The 997TT PCCB will be using the 380mm/350mm combo (also used on the 997 GT3 Cup in the Porsche SuperCup).

However, on the 997 GT3 pictures with the yellow calipers, the rotors don't look big enough to be 380mm, they look like 350mm units. They don't mention the PCCB sizes on the comfort GT3 brochure.
