YES PLEASE!!! 620HP, 200lbs lighter. > **[Leaked!

Earlier reports indicate that the revised GT2, recently caught testing at the Nürburgring, will put out over 560 horsepower and 530 pound-feet of torque. However, it’s safe to assume those figures will be increased In RS trim and we can expect a fully-adjustable suspension, roll cage and possibly some active aerodynamics. The press introduction is apparently scheduled for May 14th, so official details on [Porsche’s](http://www.autoblog.com/make/porsche/) newest rear-wheel drive road warrior should be forthcoming. > > _ **UPDATE** : A forum member at TeamSpeed has some preliminary stats from the launch in Leipzig. The new GT2 RS is reportedly packing 620 hp and will come in nearly 200 pounds lighter than the current GT2. The 0-62 mph time is pegged at 3.2 seconds with a rumored 'Ring time of… wait for it… 7:22 – [the same as the Dodge Viper ACR](http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/27/unofficial-dodge-viper-acr-laps-ring-in-record-7-22-1-w-video/)._ ---

a base plether early model 996 is never going to look that great… but there are some nice 996 interiors out there too, they’re just quirky and different. ---

> [@Viper966](#): > > im not hating on the 997… its the 996’s yeah well no shit they are out-dated. they havent been produced since 2005! this thread is about the 997 but you came in saying that 911 interiors arent great but i really like my interior minus the lame “supple” leather option that the original owner went with. recaros soon enough… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/996/IMG00148-20100206-1620.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/f/3/f36f5d6eeb604cd6c98245cddb1ab56b9b1076a6.jpeg) ---

Sucks that it can’t beat the viper. Edit: Interior wise, I don’t think Porsche has ever been anything to write home about. ---

I remember top gear saying the gt3rs was lighter because there was no radio, power windows, etc etc. So I’m guessing its the same for this, no? ---
