Confirmed from Porsche, Ti exhaust for sure, it will also save 20kg from 996 GT2 so the total weight will be 1400kg for 997 GT2(1420kg for 996GT2)

997 Gt2

It would be nice if the final weight was 1400kg or less. However, initial reports that I've seen were 1505kg with AC and 1485 without. I really hope Porsche is able to get it down.

My friend's friend got the final confirmation from Porsche, not sure about the weight, but the Ti exhaust is 100% for sure.

The Ti exhaust would have been a nice addition to the GT3, too.

If it comes with Ti exhaust, DSG ,no sun roof and 550hp, the new GT2 will the king of the hill.

Come on Vince!
It won't be the king of the hill for the sunroof!?...
I think it will be a perfection...a Turbo RWD with extra power ( even less weight? )...no way!

I agree.

Looks like it will be introduced somewhere between October 8th and November according to this source:

C'mon Zona...it's only priced $100,000 TOO HIGH!

You forgot to mention that they'll only be making a very limited number of them, and no doubt quite a few of those will be found on the secondary market at a "market adjusted" price. Unless of course the price is too high, the performance is barely superior to the 996 GT2; in which case it will die a horrible death, and I'll never be able to buy a new 998 GT2.

Thanks dude, way to crush my dreams...
