    So, the 911 is a high performance sports car, and the GT3 is a high performance version of the 911, and the RS is a high performance version of the GT3, and the GT2 is a higher performance version than the GT3, but is different than the RS. It's so confusing, is there a chart somewhere? #porsche911gt3rs

    man, that thing is nice! homeboy looks like he could use the flappy paddle gearbox though, it look like he just couldn't shift it fast enough and when he took his hand off the wheel to shift it looked like he was going to ditch it.

    i absolutely loved the whine of the turbo on the track car... that should be a question of the day, what sound better a turbo or a supercharger? #porsche911gt3rs

    @B1663R: GT3s have never had turbos. GT2s and Turbos (obviously) are turbocharged, but GT3s and GT3 RSs have always just been naturally aspirated, which makes them that much more impressive.

    The noise sounded like straight cut gears to me. Bonus video of a crazy-ass E36 racecar to show you what I'm talking about:

    @Leeeeena the Jalopchick: i coulda sworn that i heard a distinct turbo whine and a blow off... after reviewing the footage that you attached and my dog looking at me funny i would have to say the transmission is making that sound.

    in the Porsche vid when he is on the track, it just sounded so turboish, i thought that the racing team added a little somethin' somthin' to give her a bit of a boost.

    it takes a big man to admit when he's wrong... lucky for me i am not a big man. #porsche911gt3rs

    I'm loving this car. I really am. I love the color combo, thought I'd leave the checkers & fender script at the dealership - replace it with the classic "RS" script on the door sill & I'd be happy.

    Unfortunately, every time I see a front end view of it, the only thing I can think of is "lipstick on a Porker".

    You know what? I'm tired of the 911. It's nice that they can keep selling these things, and that they're really, really well-built - vault-like, almost.

    But ultimately, this is a well-polished design that's now, what, 50 years old? More?

    How about some real innovation, for a change? Or some fundamental change - and I'm not talking about cooling. Introduce a tub-based design with lots of carbon fiber. Put a real engine in the Cayman. Whatever - just DO something.

    This "best 911 ever" crap is getting old.

    @cgates1: Sure, the exterior has really had only evolved slightly from year to year, but everything underneath has changed dramatically, which is why these Porsches will keep laptimes on par with those of cars costing two or three times as much - look at the Lamborghini, Pagani, Koenigsegg, Ferrari... all of them are super sexy, but only offer diminishing returns over a Porsche when it comes to racing. There are only a couple other cars I would even consider in the same price range; the Z06 and the GT-R. And for a car that can do a track day on the weekend and be a daily driver, the Porsche is unique. Okay, maybe I wouldn't drive the GT3 to work every day, but I could drive a Carrera S every day until I died.

    You may call the design dated, but at this point I consider it staid and understated.

    Side note: you want to put a rear engine in a Cayman? I'm not sure you really understand Porsche's lineup...

    @weatherman: No - a REAL engine! The 911 powerplant, not a de-rated one. I almost bought one last year. I understand Porsche's line-up pretty well - in fact, I even own one.

    I like the look of the 911.

    I'd just like to see something entirely new. Those guys built the 917, the 956, the RS Spyder (a middling effort in comparison), really promulgated turbocharging etc. - but now I feel like they're resting on past glories.

    Bring me freshness and innovation, and let's build the car we want: a Cayman, with a big engine, a race suspension and some big venturi tunnels and a diffuser.

    As much of a fan of the 911 as I am, I agree; if they popped a nice turbo with 400+ horses in a Cayman, and made a few stylistic changes, I'd be right there with you.

    With a flash of red, a growl of the exhaust, and a gleam of LED running lights, the 911 GT3 RS races into the hearts of both boys and grown men.

    It then turns left and heads south racing into the groinal area of said men, reminding them that there is no pr0n greater than car pr0n.
