Same here!
7100 trouble free 4.0 mile BTW.
Second owner, mostly track miles.
Cant speak for the GT2RS in terms of track fun, but those who have owned and tracked both told me to stick with 4.0.
Oil galley plugs falling out was a real problem on the 4.0, Air intake butterfly getting sucked in is a problem if your car has a bad part, this is no different from the 3.8RS.
Not interested in PDK.

I saw on another Forum that speculation on the GT2 is that is has 562 HP. And I understand it having less power so as not to compete with the 918. But I can't imagine they are making a car with less HP than the GT2RS in my garage. That seems a little crazy. Not to mention it has mods and around 700 HP. Why the hell would I get a GT2?

LOL. Yes sir DJ. I was actually making a comment about the speculation and the HP claims. That's the part I don't get. How do they not build a 620 HP car again? The one thing about all these 911 claims and which is the "last one" are interesting. If you get down to it, the GT2RS is the last car with the 3.6 Mezger engine. The ultimate engine. IMHO.

Nothing to do with the 918 .
The gt2 rs will be released much earlier than last time in the 991's life cycle and have just over 620 hp .
The " standard " 991 gt2 will have less power .

Can the next-gen GT2 really be as awesome as the outgoing model?
2014 991 GT2 Speculation Begins
Last week Porsche dropped the all-new 991 based Turbo models on us and within moments the web was a buzz with speculations on the next GT2 and GT2RS. UK based Autocar recently shared their predictions about the upcoming harder-core Turbo models that not only will we see the new GT2 next year in Geneva, but it will feature the new four-wheel steer system just as in the GT3.
They predict the next-gen GT2 will carry over the same 552 bhp twin-turbo powerplant from the new Turbo S, and be offered with its dual-clutch automatic gearbox. We would surely expect to see a bump in bhp but its anyones guess as of now, and by the way don't get your hopes up for a manual because it's most likely not happening.
Autocar also goes on to note an 620 bhp RS version should be revealed during 2015.
Stay tuned for more info soon.

If we look back at all our past speculations of future cars, we would find that we are rarely even close. When I joined the forum guys were speculating the MP4, 997.2TTS, 997.2GT3RS, etc. When those cars were released the reality was far from our speculation.
We speculate <560hp, lets see.
