Yeah I took some of the stuff off that you had on there but I’m keeping the buckets for sure. I’m thinking I can get rid of the nav as well as the speakers to save another 4k down to 118 or so since I basically never listen to music in my current car and use Waze/CarPlay.
You're right that it is it is still a lot of money and 40k in mods to get a mild tune, new gears for torque and shorter ratio, and fix the exhaust situation would still come up much cheaper.

I think the gearing discussion is overrated. Shorter gearing would be funner for street, but honestly I don’t drive like that on the road anyways.
There was one spot after the "straight" where there was plenty of run off but a curb at the end. He overcooked the turn in and had enough momentum to hit the curb with the rear. It didn't look like a huge hit (maybe 10mph?), but enough to damage the wheel and and I'm sure suspension components. I thought I had a picture on my phone but I guess I must have deleted it.

The torque curve is flat from 2500-4500rpm, so I'm guessing they electronically limit it just like the new 718 GT4 manual trans.
I've heard rumors that the GT2RS was able to go past the limit of the 7 speed PDK, but Porsche held it back...similar to the torque limiting on the McLaren 720S due to strength concerns with the Aisin unit.

I believe it is 750nm (553ft/lb.) for the 7 speed PDK in the GT2RS.

I've followed this thread off & on, however last evening was the best! The humour members expressed was an all out blast : )
I particularly liked the 4.0 Dodge Caravan photo! LOL
GrantG you mentioned this new motor likely has a lot more room on the table then the 9A1 motor of the GT4.
AP from Porsche said they stuck with that motor in the new 718 CS cars b/c it's such a reliable engine & has a proven record. I'm not certain, doesn't the 718 CS have very comparable #'s to the new 718 GT4?
Porsche's new 718 CS with the "old motor" must make 981 owners happy.
This summer I'm plunking on the DMS intake runners, IPD/GT3 TB further adding to the awesomeness of the 981

If I would have had a deposit down I would have asked for it back. Heavier , same torque , same 0-60 , same gearing , better aero. I'll keep my CR GT4 thank you. The back Porsche emblem is hideous.

I agree that the upgrade proposition is not that compelling, except for the opportunity for another Euro Delivery trip and fresh warranty.
