Will there be a GT4 RS or simply a GT4 and the customer racing GT4 Cup?

PTS on a second run of production?

I look forward to hearing any further insight you gain!

Will the track only version be available through dealers or Porsche Motorsports only? Will it be street legal?

... oh one more if there's time .. what is an 'integrated dry sump' and why isnt it a gt3 type dry sump
and if they say 'it works just as well as the gt3 dry sump' then why is the gt3 still using it if they've designed something better?
or to put it slightly differently, will the GT4Cup have the same integrated sump?

Thanks Mike. He's not terribly knowledgeable (yet) on the product but it was nice to hear confirmation on some of the speculation anyway. However, I believe he is mistaken on one thing. Unlike Boxsters, most Caymans are made in Osnabruck.

cheers Mike .. good try but you needed to find a german who'd been trained already!

Hopefully that guy will come back to you once he's 'had his training' and had time to reflect on your questions....?

Mike, nice to see you over here on RL. Thanks for the interview. Burkhalter should run for political office.
