Me too; I'm also looking forward to the 911, M3, and Evora article.

Correct!

I have read somewhere that it adds 66 lbs. I don't have the citation, though - can't remember, so I wouldn't take it as the gospel.

911s are 2+2 as well as are several others (DB9, Jag XK etc)

Still waiting for my Evora test drive though I'm quite glad I didn't order and went for the GT3 as they increased the number of cars that come 'fully loaded' from 200 to 450 and 60k is a _lot_ for the lotus...
thanks

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the title says "GT3 vs Spec V"?

Other than the front page, all the other picture feature a regular GTR instead of the Spec V.

I am not sure how much PDK weighs, but IIRC the SMG in the E46 M3 added 18lbs (but that was the same Getrag transmission with a few extra parts). So I would say the 66 quote above would be pretty close, given it's an entirely different transmission.

Harrelson is an unknown quantity at this point
I have the issue and apparently the Spec V GTR was a huge letdown. The ceramic brakes cost a colossal £35,000 and they went mushy after 3 laps!

Wonder if they're covered under the warranty?

Or maybe they'll void it if you ever engage ABS...
