I don't have a big knowledge of these engines, is G2 same as GT3 RS and R?
Yes. G2 head loosely termed refers to the version 2 G engine revisions installed in cars from July 2016 (late production GT3RS and all R) which incorporate DLC coated cam shaft lobes..
This is just not correct. My dealer has 4 confirmed allocations from PAG for 2017 starting with July. He does not have a specific build slot yet in July, that will come a liitle later, but he does know that he will get 4 cars and he knows which months he has been allocated a build slot for 2017.....and so do the other dealers in my area.
if you're dealer is in the U.S., then you are wrong and your dealer DOES NOT have any build slots.
I just looked today and nope, nothing on this car is listed.
Otherwise, ask him to provide you with a screen shot of the handling board. I bet he won't do that.

thats what i tried to say as well
allocations yes, built slots no
but okay, you are saying allocations are already determined to be in a specific month?
my dealer called me explaining timeline, most likely not released until september. so we have even more time before we know. they have solid data, and the Geneva show will not be gt3.2
Perhaps he was referring to deliveries, which are expected to start late summer/early fall for North America.
From everything I've heard/read this is mostly likely scenario:

Same deal with the 911R last year, first customer cars got delivered around June to European customers.
Dealers in Sweden are so confident it will be Geneve release that some of the people who got slots (and bought several other non GT cars) will be flown down to watch the release!

I am not in the US. I am in Europe. I was responding to an OP based in the U.K. And as I pointed out, my dealer has 4 confirmed allocations for 2017 with specific build months but not specific build days within those months yet. For me what's most important is that I have secured the first allocation in July. I don't articularly care what the specific build date is in a July, all I care about is that I have a July build and that I get the care by August. And I repeat again, dealers n Europe had had their allocations for the last couple of months.

awesome, you will be one of the first to get your hands on one
cant wait for some unbiased/non-jounalistic reviews
more interestingly.. that looks like a regular gt2, not a gt2RS.. i say that because of the lower spoiler, not the RS type spoiler... this is an assumption on my part. front fender extensions also seem to confirm gt2 status?
also strange is the grill between the rear lights, which seems to have been discountined on the 991.2 gt3 model, as well as the gt3 991.1 front bumper, and rear lights. this just doesn't seem like a recent picture of a 991.2 car.. i'm genuinely confused by these pics.
so they aren't skipping the "regular" gt2 as previously speculated?

These are old pictures then Porsche started to test 991 GT3 RS.
There is the sticker on side window 2013.
i should have noticed that.. yep makes more sense.. this pic just didn't compute at all.
On a positive note, I received some level 3-4 info from dealer today that there is talk they are doing something interesting with the calibration on the steering to improve feel. I'm taking this with grain of salt but passing it on.
