Not sure where you take your cars for after market service but I had a 4.0 LWFW, PP, Clutch, RS pulley & Motorsports 8/32 R&P bringing final drive ratio to 4.0:1 (RS = 3.87 IIRC) for < $6K. The cars come from the factory with the exact same "gearing" except for the R&P & 6th (a bit longer on the RS to make up for shorter overall ratio). If you're stroking a check to step up to the RS it is exactly for that reason, so you can say you have an RS. The wider front track and better aero on the RS is much more expensive and not worth trying to replicate on the GT3 IMO.

Beware of Pfaff CPO warranty. Bought my RS from them and when RMS leak reared its ugly head they tried every trick in the book not to pay for the repairs as Porsche Canada claimed they should've fixed it before CPOing it. I doubt I'll buy another car from them ever again.

Interesting. I would have thought that would still be Porsche Canada's problem as they extend the warranty. Nobody ever reads the fine print though...I know I don't!

Porsche Canada turned to the dealers to fix the issue as they should've done it before certifying the car. That's all I know, ended up being taken care of after months in limbo. I was not happy.
