That MB RS looks great. MB looks better on a car with a Wing and black contrast parts.
This has me thinking but it may not be PTS but charging $4000 plus for the color upgrade so close to PTS
MB is $4,220 and I suspect PTS may be increased again to somewhere around $8,000. PTS is $6,960 as it stands now. For the extra $$$ I would get PTS (Maritime Blue) if available, but if it is not I am falling back on MB.
-25hp more, 15ft-lb of torque more than 991, same as gt3 just slightly higher in the range at 6250rpm
-fixed valve train, 2 intake tuning flaps, and central oiling which we know about already
-slightly different rear diff settings vs the R.
-991.2 is quite a bit heavier, about 120lb more, (90lb more with the manual)
-hp/lb is actually down
-steel rotors are now same size as pccb (not sure if this is a good thing or not.. did it need heavier bigger brakes?)
-same height as before.. hasn't been lowered, but 0.2 inch less ground clearance measured at rear diffusor
-but... front angle of approached has improved quite a bit from 5.8 to 6.3in as well as breakover has improved slightly (new "do I need a front lift" thread coming up)
-rear suspension has a little helper spring
-engine has
that's

yea, i made an error there, including looking at the GVWR, i was on my phone. anyway.. thought the pages would be interesting. (can't go back and change it as I was already quoted.. damn the internet!)
Could the R also be 90lb lighter due to its CF seats being standard vs them being an option on the GT3? Is the listed weight representing the lightest possible optioned car or the standard no-option car?
