More stealth colour schemes? Not sure that I like that. Part of the appeal of the RS was the fact that it was the outrageous brother to the standard GT3. Still not too sure that shorter ratios, a titanium exhaust and RSR front end and the wide body can fully justify the price difference though. To me its really just a case of wanting it because it is that little bit rarer than a GT3.

Lower/Closer gear ratios will make a huge improvement for track work. Probably reduce lap times more than 50hp increase in power on most tracks.

Everything sounds good, but front widened track and RSR suspension, why not complete RSR suspension/uprights?? Doesn't make sense
Stealth colors? BOOOO, RS needs bright color!

The front of the car has additional arches which appear a bit incongruous.
Agree that the close ratios will work well on tighter tracks but can it really justify the sticker increase as the ratios really are track dependent and may be changed from track to track by a really serious track goer, and the standard ratios on the standard GT3 may work better on other tracks in any case. The extra dollars on a different set of ratios doesn't seem quite as well justified as if they for example had provided a set of additionally reinforced gears etc. Just my opinion, but hey I would still be in line for the RS over the standard GT3 just because of the wide hips so who am I to over analyse this

I would stick with black....just an awesome classic color. Hard to keep clean, but nothing better after a bath! 
But, would REALLY be nice if they offered clubsport package!!!....but it know it's not gonna happen.
