Guess it´s the RSR... Down and Upshifts are way too fast for a Cup. It also sounds like an RSR...

Could be a cup, perhaps they will put in a decent trans for 2014, as used on the RSR?

I'm thinking that is the Cup, the shifting sounds fast because it's flappy paddles so...it is fast! Maybe a 4.0 in it as well?

that is totally an RSR. Cup is a spec race car for one-make series. Don't get me wrong, 991 Cup will be a little faster vs. 997.2 but not RSR-fast. I suspect there will be a little more HP. Most of the upgrades will be in handling (more balanced.. less 911-like) and ease-to drive (paddle shifters). These two alone will make it 2 seconds faster for average driver. I could be wrong, but that is my guess.

That's the new cup and an RSR testing at the same time. Supercup will get it from next season. ;-)

Biggest impact will be on '10-'12 Cup prices.

They are still making the 997 CUP car for next season and price will stay high since the new cup car will be more expensive. Will come with RSR transmission that is mostly twice the price of the cup transmission.
