at the risk of over-using this emoji....

I think there is one more bit of information that will leak shortly that will cause me to hit F5 more times than I have today!

I pretty much have a standing one with them. Just signed a fresh one today as I will be heading to Weissach tomorrow..

I don't blatantly break the rules, but I will bend them at times, call it testing the length of the leash. Sometimes I only have a single source, I cannot say stuff cause they know who I had been in contact with. But when there are multiple people around, they can't quite pinpoint the source.

I might get into trouble at times, but I won't endanger others.

It will not be the same motor. Same case and some shared bits however.
The 981 GT4 case was the same case as GT3.... But everybody just called it a "911" engine...

I am thinking it will be 8:00 AM in another 5 hours which is 11:00 PM PT.

@Whoopsy: We're usually awake quite late so please do post whatever you find out as soon as you do. No reason to assume that any of us go to sleep at any reasonable hour.

Having been so certain that there would be no RS, how can you be certain of this?

Because if it’s the exact same motor, the price is going to be much closer to a GT3.

I think if Porsche wants to keep the 718 alive they may need to give some real thought to encroaching on the 911. I understand wanting to keep a space but with recent Cayman and boxster sales something needs to add some cache to the model .

I think it's funny that people see the cayman as "encroaching" on the 911. Not saying you are wrong in your perception, as it seems like the people at Porsche feel that way too, but to me they are two different cars. I would love to have a GT4 AND a GT3. A perfectly sorted mid-engined car does not reduce my desire for an amazing rear-engined car...

Let's also presume he isn't going to reply until he gets home from his visit.

So you can add hours to that timing.
