I was expecting some dramatic difference in front lip clearance.

It looks like you still need to keep a few front lower lip spoilers in your garage, like I did with the GT2.

^That was my reaction. However, that little difference could make be huge when backing out of my Houston driveway. I'm sure its been covered with the 7.2 GT3, but does anyone know how much weight this system adds?

I really can't wait for the first vids of this car. Come on Walter, amaze us!

Well it is an animation on the webpage, may be more dramatic in real life

I am just pessimistic about it making any difference because after a few destroyed front lip spoilers on the GT2, I figure it's just part of the cost of doing business.

kryten is an unknown quantity at this point
On the GT3 the lift system adds about 6kg but its very low in the car (Andreas' own words) and gives an extra 3cm clearance and I would assume its exactly the same system on the RS.
