997 GT3 & tt and 4s

[superlightr]

when in the great scheem of things do Porsche produce the new GT3, and other models based on the 997?

Any news on what they will likely to have?

I've heard rumours varying between summer 05 and end 05/early 06. Another point of discussion has been which engine the GT3 will be based on - one of the attractions of the 996 GT3 has been that the engine is based on the 964/GT1, much more robust than the 'vanilla' 996 with none of the RMS issues etc. The 997 engine remains an unknown quantity. General concensus seems to be the 997 GT3 is likely to have about 400bhp.

Big thread on Rennlist here

There's some stuff on the 997 GT3 Cup car here. Who knows how much of that might make it into the next GT3?
