Two things:

1) The "regular" 997 is and has been campaigned in the Grand-Am Continental Series and the Koni Challenge Series.

2) It's Mezger as in Hans Mezger. Not Metzger.

 

That's wrong. The GT3 in current production has the 3.8. The RS does too. I know tons of people, including me, that track the hell out of those cars and race them too.

 

^^ Actually you've misunderstood him.

He's asking about the "new" 9A1, DFI engines in the 997's and whether or not they're being raced. Which I've subsequently answered.

The engines in all GT2/3/RS's have the same engine block design which parenthetically dates back to the 964/993/GT1. An engine designed by the now mythological engineer Hans Mezger. Hence most call it the Mezger engine.

As for the 3.8L displacement, well there's nothing new there as Porsche has been using them since the early '90's.

 

Since the chances are it won't have KERS...



What do you guys think it will be called?

 

I'd call it the Carrara stop posting.

 

This is just a guess but maybe it'll be named the GT3 RSR.

 

911 Kick Asster comes to mind.

 

I forgot how bad this thread had gotten.

 

ffs.

Someone man up, hike up your skirt, grab your balls and close this damn thing down.

 

Hopefully we do not want to put leather in an RS!!!
Unfortunately the LE will probably come out with PCCB as standard...
In case I manage to have an allocation, I have already arranged with mi POD to replace PCCB with steel discs as soon as the car will be delivered...
