dude we don't even want the wide fenders... the wide fenders makes the car slower due to drag coefficency(0.29 for GT3 vs. 0.30 for RS)... thats why RUF has been basing their cars like the CTR, CTR2, RT12, and RGTs in the narrow body form... the RS only had the wider body simply because they wanted alittle traction gain and thats it... i want to purchase some RS parts such as the hood and trunk lip and wing due to weight saving... if i wanted a RS i would've bought a RS... i am not trying to make my GT3 a RS... i am trying to make my GT3 MUCH BETTER than a RS... which it will be next year... but what you are saying is completely wrong about what we are trying to accomplish

are you sure about the ROW cars as well??? correct me if i am wrong...

Alan

 

Yes. I am in Australia which gets ROW cars including those Clubsport package which I ordered of the GT3

From memory differences that are stated in the brochures :
Clutch
Rearscreen
Rear suspension
Front lip
Rear wing
Wheels
Clubsport package as standard of course.
PCCB is still an option iirc
Steering wheel with the ahead line
Wider body

I am nearly 90% sure that bonnet is the same. At least I wasnt informed when I was offered the RS hence went with the standard car.

PN-

 

because my dealer clearly explained that the car will not have a lightweight hood... carbon or not... anyways... so the differeces you posted are the differences between the RS and GT3 or the ROW and US cars???

Alan

 

ROW GT3 RS for my post above

 

so what you are saying is that all those parts you listed we will not be getting them in the US???

Alan

 

I dont know what US GT3RS are getting. I am just telling you the difference between a standard and an RS here in oz. Like I said before I dont think the bonnet is different wasnt that is your original question ?

 

Camera scan of a fax that came in.

 

Somewhere I read that the RS was going to be 44 LBS. lighter than the standard GT3.

 

6088TTS, where do you get the info that there will be no CF engine hood?
the letter above states luggage compartment.

the row RS has an alum front hood.
many owners have already posted to that fact.

jeff

 

So much for that mythical CF hood, 6088TTS.

 

Am I the only one that noticed that 6088TTS has a GT3, and ordered both a GT3 RS and TT??? BALLER!

 

Who's we. I certainly do.

From reading that letter, i just recalled Porsche wanted to use the Carbon Fiber hood for the USDM RS for additional weight saving since it does not have Plexi Glass for Rear windows and also no GT3 seats... they were going to use it which i was very happy about because not even the ROW models had it... up until 2 days ago i got this info from my dealership saying that they have decided not to install the CF hoods on the RS... this had me thinking that there is really no differeces in weight between the USDM RS and GT3... in ROW models the RS is only 10kg lighter than the GT3 due to Plexi Glass, GT3 Seats, and light weight fly wheels etc. From the beginning they knew that things such as the Plexi Glass and GT3 seats aren't going to make it state side and that is why they put the sunroof on the GT3s to compensate the weight differece... if they didn't put the sunroof on the GT3 that extra 10kg differece would have been 'nada' from the get go and the RS would've weighted in more on the scale than the standard GT3... there is the reason why they wanted to put in the CF hood and trunk lid to make the RS lighter than the GT3 again... well up until 2 days ago that is... now seems like we'd have to wait until the RS hits our shores and do a real Weight in between the two cars... bone to bone...

thats nothing on this board... if you were to do a search you can see many other memebers are much more 'baller' than moi...
