    My RS had that out of the box. Not very ambitious.

    Which RS? The 997 GT3 RS has the same 415 hp as the regular GT3. It must be another brand then, right?

    is there a possibility the mk2 could be a MY 09 and hit U.S. shores in 08? or is everyone relatively sure it will be a MY 2010?

    No standard 997RS - all I have seen have been higher than 415BHP

    Most GT3's (both RS and non-RS) make more that the advertised 415bhp.

    If u want 435 HP, FVD.usa.com has a level 2 tuning kit for 6700 USD. TUV approved. U don't have to wait that long. By 2009, there will be plenty of tuner kits to get u more than 435HP.

    Most Porsche engines leave factory with + 3%bhp over listed output. Porsche themselves said actual bhp should be around 425 bhp but wouldn't quote figure on the record. Had same with 996 RS where engines were normally over 400bhp when listed as 380bhp.

    I hear end 2008 as a 2009 model... that's what happened with the 996 GT3, one year break... but Porsche is more and more into $$$, so who knows how soon... I also hear 435 bhp... but the sweet part is that same as all N/A porsches, it will have the new PDK!!! that would means a sub 4 seconds 0-60!!!
