Good point, I'm just hoping that the form of adjustability brings improvement to the suspension, like motons vs. standard shocks, instead of hindering the suspension, like pasm vs. -20 mm.

Nice shocks. Although the ease of adjustability and the fact that one adjustment doesn't change another would help a race team, I think it would benefit the novice track day enthusiast even more since us non-experts often don't get the full performance of our upgrades because we can't tune them.

Keith - I agree. I'm certainly intimidated by the infinite combos of settings and gas pressure (as well as spring rates) with modern coilovers. It's one of the reasons I've stayed with my Bilstein RSR's - only height adjustable - then I use adjustable swaybars for balance. I know I could be alot faster with true adjustables (IF I set them right), but the potential for getting it really wrong does scare me...

The right words from Rohrl were that you can stiffen the suspension when you go to a track..and when you return on the road you can make again "more soft" as before
I think you can make it from hard to really hard...not from soft to hard like PASM...
can't wait to see it!

Very cool info Darius grazie
Everyone I know that has met Rohrl has said the same thing, what a cool & friendly down-to-earth guy he is.
So in coclusion:
- 3.8l but not 997S derived, its a dry sump for the GT3 as expected, I asume derived form the 3.6l of it predecesor 996GT3.
- 997TT faster than the F430, wouldn't be anyother way
- no DSG/PDK standard on GT3, at least on first year. This is good news for the manual drivers since the DSG/PDK looks like an option only.
- RS version of the GT3 will be produced
- I curious about the GT3's special suspension though. He said you can adjust harshness "like the PASM" but I suspect it will not be the PASM electronic active suspension type since that would hinder the GT3's performance. I believe he may be talking about a coilover system were you can adjust the harshness (along with height) but they are a traditional shock/spring but manually adjustable (not on-the-fly with a button like the PASM though) which is very appropiate for track cars.
