Me too - I'm reckoning they've got to be pretty damn special given the $10k price increase.

I have to see the carbon fiber treatment in person, but it doesn't look that bad. I especially like the mirrors and the slits in the front bumper.
Slits in the front bumper?

Wonder if painting the wing mirrors are an option too? Combination of painted rear wing and CF-look mirrors could look pretty daft. (But there again I'm pretty unconvinced by the whole thing).

fozzy,

the only element of real interest for me is the new suspension tuning. i read they learned more from gt3 which has helped them advance the gt2 suspension... which knowledge i assume [dangerous] is in the 2004 car.

does anyone know more about 2004 gt2 suspension???? thanks.

i can buy a powerchip or a ruf conversion, and i can buy real carbon mirrors [factory RS i believe] and panels [from Ruf's new RGT].

i bet there's a carbon look delete option since very few ricers are at this price point.

I've only seen a couple of articles that mentioned the suspension tweeks, but then I was surprised that the official press release didn't really go into much detail - when they use words like 'optimised' to describe improvements you've got to wonder whether this is mainly spin.

PS nothing more in the latest Christophorus either on the handling refinements, which surprised me
