3.6 liter engine? No use of the 3.8 out of the 997.2 turbo?

Holy shieyt! What's the option code for the Porsche life insurance coverage? Something tells me that spouses all over the world would have their hubby's add that if it existed.

And as I am glancing down to the Currently Active Users, I see there are 102(!) guests viewing this thread, so I just want to make clear to everyone that "hubby's adding the insurance policy" thing was just a figure of speech - I am not sexist and realize women can buy this car too. Oh, um, and if any of those women who are in the market for a GT2 RS have a thing for blonde Swedish guys, I am available over PM. Please mark the current date and time in the subject line so I can sort the flood of incoming messages, thanks. Also, attach a picture if possible.

What a big raise of the bar if those figures are true. They must really be pi$$ed with the GTR based criticism. LOL! 500 units may be hard to shift though.

Haha, join the club.

Thanks for posting....can't wait for this car. When I drove the GT2 I said it needed to be lighter and more raw....I'd rather drive an RS anyday. Porsche just fixed that problem.

Joe, your a sick sick man. I knew you would do it. First deposit at our store for the 997.2 GT-2 RS. I hope you are added triple stack lifts and under ground storage during the renovations at your house.

Stoppie and I were just talking- very interesting to use the 3.6 config and not the current naturally aspirated 3.8 Metzger engine from current RS. The current turbo is the DFI engine and is already known to not be strong enough to support much more HP than it already has.

My guess is the NA 3.8 (from the RS) cylinder wall thickness is not enough to support the boost this thing has to run to obtain the 620HP. Hence- reducing bore size to increase cylinder wall thickness and they can use all the existing castings and not need to reinvent the wheel ($).

What a beast.
