See this page:

This is correct
Shoot me a message with the final 4 digits of your VIN and I'll add it to
the registry. There's already one '11 listed, #3087.

I've heard the same here in Spain some days ago: 9,5 K red line and 33 additional horses, but no for immediate release.
Source is a very good Porsche customer friend of mine having direct line with Stuttgart. All the information provided by this guy has always been confirmed later.

Remember that HP is just a mathematical function of torque and rpm's, so if you assume the torque only drops off slightly and they can get the redline to 9500, then the horsepower number quoted is realistic.
#37
What do the latest cups redline at? 10,000 or not far off. Its unlikely, far fetched and personally I don't buy it, but 9500rpm is not impossible as a last tango in paris for the metzger block.
#38
How high did Sharky's 3.9 build rev? 8800 or so? And doesn't the 458 V8 rev all the way to 9000?
I think 9000 is reasonable if they're pulling out all the stops or if you have Sharky (or Manthey, whoever) rebuild yours.

Above sticker is "throw away" money
I know of at least one on its way to Minneapolis at sticker
(and one delivered here last week).

If you consistently had people offer to pay over sticker to get a particular car, wouldn't you sell it to them? Dealers wouldn't charge these premiums unless people actually paid them...
#41
Only the dealers that have a history of charging over MSRP, are doing so or trying, and literally raping loyal customers. I know some dealers that were asking $50K over one year ago, and eventually had to sell them for MSRP

Rs
How many 2011's will be available stateside? This will be the end run of the Metzger engines in the GT3 right? Same with the manual tranny too? I know some Calif. dealers are coming down in price. I've been offered a couple at msrp out of state as well. The shoe may be switching feet...

BelMaseto, when you are saying "no for immediate release" are you saying that those upgrades (that supposedly add up to 33 HP) will not be added to the 2011 Gt3 RS and will be offered in the next generation GT3 or will be offered later in this model year??
My (very large US) dealer is saying the upgrades are coming in the 2011 GT3 RS. He was very sure of his information...I know it also sounds very improbable but I have head of crazier statements from dealers.
