macca993:

I think AP hinted the RS would be more hardcore using more motorsports derived tech (composites, stripped interior etc). Im not sure how much room there is for a significant perfance gap between the two but as they seem to be holding back a bit with the GT3 in published figures (hp, ring time etc) Id say it will sub 7.20 the Ring...

Don't expect wonders but a much higher price tag. Smiley

The GT3 RS will rock though, it should be the perfect car for those who want a more hardcore GT3. Still...no manual though. Smiley There have been rumors of a manual option for the GT3 RS but I hope Porsche isn't changing their PDK strategy. Also, it seems that PDK will be standard on the other 911 models too at some point because of environmental requirements.

Maybe Porsche should consider some sort of Sportomatic-type PDK, a manual without a clutch, based on the PDK. This could somehow compensate for the lack of a real manual.
