I'm with ExMB, some people mistake these forums for chat.

Let the guy ask a question without being a jerk to him.
But that's his style, he probably thinks he's being very cool acting this way. In my books its pure arrogance.

LOL, I can't tell if you're being brilliantly sarcastic here, or actually think these forums amount to something more than... chat. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and go with the former.

God help us if we ever actually start to think this is more than wasting time bull****ting with other time-wasters.

My definition of chat is some application with no logs, so when someone drops in, they don't know what was discussed before that.
Saying `I haven't been following the conversation, what about X?' makes sense in chat, but a forum topic instead contains a wealth of opinion and facts, able to be read by anyone at any time.
I see ExMB as the student who gets annoyed when the class is slowed down by someone who hasn't done the assigned reading.
Yeah, all of it is a time waster in the grand scheme of things.

I get all these notifications about activity and new posts on this thread.

I get all excited thinking something was leaked and all I read is 2 pages of useless bickering. Really sad.

LOL, I didn't realize someone was appointed to dictate how RL members get to use the forum. Seems like it's "open source" to me as long as it doesn't devolve into assholery of a degree that requires adult intervention. If somebody wants to drift off into convos about tequila, and somebody else wants to drop in and ask for a synopsis to avoid reading about tequila and turbo speculations, and somebody else wants to build a graph showing revs-in-gears plotted against FM-station-frequencies, well, they can just have at it. If the market doesn't want to answer the guy who wants a synopsis it simply won't happen. If somebody does want to answer it, it will be answered and those who find this distasteful can just skip it. As I have skipped many comments in this very thread.

A lot of fake news in this thread. You guys must all be from the media

But seriously I agree with the above post. If somebody wants to answer a post then have at it. If YOU don't then don't. Nothing really wrong with asking for a summary.

I will say though just skim through the thread to catch up, that's kind of why the thread retains all posts. Doesn't take long to skim. It's like reading a book, not every page is great but you read the whole book. But maybe that's why Coles Notes got started.

Summary...

New GT4 might be turbo charged...
New GT4 might be Naturally Aspirated...
Some people already know which it is and have alluded to it...
It may have a transmission of some sort...
Tequilla makes her clothes fall off...
It doesn't have to be good Tequilla.

That should catch you up if you just got here...

Could also be a detuned Gen 1 gt3 rs motor , AP did mention it is in the new speedster ,and that they have them laying around. My dealer also confirmed that it’ll be a 4.0 ,but not a 4.0 from current gt3.

Your dealer knows the same amount as people on the forum in regards to the engine that'll appear in the 718 GT4, which is next to nothing and speculation. Take what they say with a grain of salt.
