9,000 RPM REDLINE! DAMN! And apparently this thing is not a 9A1. It's got an all new dry sump 3.8 liter which the RSR and Cup car will use. Can anyone confirm this? No matter, I'm sure an online reveal is days away. New wing is fantastic. I must say, as an initial hater of the 991, I now love it. Sure the older cars will always be better, but it is always nice to see something fresh and exciting, and the more refined the cars get, the easier it is to put in a dash of nostalgia in it, making it all that much better.
I just really hope that Porsche will realize their flaw with making this PDK only, and then offer a manual option down the line. No manual on a GT3 is BS.

I love the people giving Pete shit about sources. You guys need to STFU and go back to your homework. He's actually bought all the cool GT cars Porsche has ever sold in this country and knows what he's talking about....
Preach on, Pete!
