RC - Doesn't it seem weird that the 3.8 GT3RS motor would only make 24hp more than the 3.8 X51 motor, when the former revs 1,450 rpm higher?
Nope. Two different engines, I bet that the GT3 RS engine is based on the "old" 993/GT1 engine design (like the former GT3/Turbo/GT2).
Yes, I understand, but I also didn't expect a displacement increase AND an engine speed increase (this is difficult to engineer with the higher piston speed and reciprocating mass). If true, such an engineering feat should produce more than 24hp.
Are you saying that the M97 design is more efficient than the GT1-style, aside from oiling and longevity advantages for the old style?
