4.0 has the GT2RS suspension bits however the spring rates and dampening are different. There are some very interestng threads floating about the 'tubes as to what is different about 2RS suspension 
You are absolutely correct as to what is on the configurator. And in regards to carbon bits it is wrong. Don't expect plastic windows though

Preuninger, when asked about this in one video, states these parts could be used on earlier cars.
Do you have a citation to document the carbon fender inclusion here in USA? I was thinking that any untested crash parts may not make it here, so their deletion made some sense.

Thanks for the 'Tubes tip, in listening to Preuninger in videos of both the 2 & 3 RS cars, the main thing is spherical bearings ("rose joints") in the rear suspension, probably at the same point as the Cup race cars = inner pivot lower control arm. Maybe higher durometer rubber in the rest of the pivots?

As for crash testing, the 2RS has the fenders and hood in the US already.

[QUOTE=Carrera GT;8565096]You can always call PCNA if the link I showed to the microsite isn't enough. I'd be curious to hear what they say.

I was just about to say the same thing myself... presumably the l/w side and rear windows may not be a part of the NA spec as with previous RSes?

I have copies of a Porsche (PCNA) petition to NHTSA made in April 2006 (Docket SVC-124, Std. 205, Glazing materials) for use of "Class 4A" (plastic) rear window glazing on the basis that it was aft of the "C" pillar and petition was denied because the location was deemed too close to passengers. Side window glazing would be even closer to passengers...so both are for sure out.
