I suppose all engines since the DFI are "closely related" in non SME language, but that isn't what I'm talking about. You say it is marketing, and the company that make the cars call it engineering. Shared parts don't make an engine a development of the other. Just economics.

I'm asking why, because you're contradicting Porsche with words like "probably much the same" and asking me to look at "engine part numbers". I'm just asking for a reasonable explanation, not disagreeing, although i have no reason to doubt what Porsche and journalists say.

I can only repeat - just take a look at the Porsche parts catalogue and decide for yourself what actually has changed. The MA175/176 in the 991.1 GT3 and RS can't be that different if it can share common if updated parts and technical illustrations with the new MA177 .2 gt3 engine on the same parts catalogue. What has obviously changed in the .2 gt3 are added oiling elements but a new oil pump design and added crankshaft oiling supply does not imo make an engine have 'little to do' with the old one.

This chap talks sense.

Let’s hope it’s more reliable over time than the last and it can carve its way into motorsport.

Porsche have had long enough to improve MA17 series of engines considering all the problems started with MA175 which is some time ago now.

Anyway back to the thread, seen as we have a lot of mixed views here it would good if some could point my in the direction of how I would add a pole to this thread?

You can only start a poll on a new topic, you cant start a poll midway through.

back on topic - that is btw kinda why I think the CGT is among the best value for money Porsches you can buy (ignoring investment value). You can't get anywhere close to the CGT by changing/modfying a cheaper car in the lineup - while arguably every 911 experience from 2.7 RS to 991 GT2 RS can be replicated to a large extent by making modifications to a lower priced model.
Also not many other cars that are carbon tub and manual and all I can think of are much more expensive (F1, F50, Zonda) apart from maybe the XJR-15, but those are so rare that it is tough to find one for sale/establish real trading prices. Having said that, I am not sure if I'd pick an XJR or a CGT if I had the spare cash.

agreed. You cannot build a homage to the CGT. Of course it is a big chunk of change. But what else can you buy for this kind of money that is IMO the best supercar built during the 2000's and its like will never be built again
