GT3 RS facelift

GT-3 RS Update
[quote=fredttx50;1800411]As long as no change in HP/TQ then I would be ok with it. However if they do plan to improve on the engine I may just have to sell and get on the list for a new one
Might as well do that now
Fred, I spoke to a Porsche factory engineer 6 months ago who was on the small RS development team. They used about every trick in the book on the RS. They shaved every gram off engine components they could with out losing reliability. They knife edged the crank, shaved weight off of pistons, rods, enitre valve train, flywheel, everything they could. He said they were at the end of the 40 year development of the 911 platform in general. He said look for very small incremental improvements from here on out. He said the RS team was given more freedom than ever before to develop a cutting edge hi performance street car. The mod's we have done carry that further. I like my REVO 100 Octane program. I have a switch for 91 and 100 octane. Nice to get another 10 to 12% more power and torque. Cargraphic lightweight silencers are insane. Louder than a Cup car !
Have slicks mounted and ready to go at Calif. Speedway May 3. , Willow May 13th. The car is loaded for bear ! Ferrari told me my Scuderi is delayed due to carbon fiber shortage from Ferrari supplier. Can't wait to get into that car and make it faster !
Take care, Steve
Take care Fred !
Take care Fred

tttt? The best question is if they do make (which I doubt) another run of RS's what it will do to the value of all other 997's. If the RS drops the GT3 will drop then ALL 997's will drop the same percentage.
$50k 997 TT's in our future? What would the C2 and C4's drop to.
