I wonder how much weight that would add. I also noticed a light weight halogen headlights option without the spray cleaners on the Porsche website. I wonder how much weight that would save.

 

^ was thinking the exact same but did not want to post.
I doubt headlights would save more than a few LBs, but I'd get that option anyway... Clean up the lines and who actually needs to spray their headlights? Never understood those.
The axle-lift kit would be nice, the Lambo boys love it. Takes it away from a "true track car", though. Details would be sweet (external kit vs within the shocks like 05-06 Gallardo update).

 

And what about those adaptive motor mounts? Is it really going to make a noticeable difference in the handling?

 

Probably not, but an option that will probably be nice come resale time.
Not sure why they need "adaptive" motor mounts.. why not just stiff ones? what are soft ones good for under normal conditions? (i really don't know. prevent excessive vibration?)

 

I am not an expert by any means, but I would assume you will get more motor vibrations making its way to the cabin when the motor mounts turn "hard".

 

Solid motor mounts transmit alot of noise and vibration into the bin, but shift quality and handling is better.

Soft mounts make for a smooth and quiet drive (and it's easier on the engine too).

These mounts are intended to be the best of both worlds (only hard when needed). Same principle as PASM for the suspension.

 

Sounds like a a good option to check.

 

delicious

 

So is the original GT1 engine block gone?

 

No, this is 3.8L 8,500rpm GT1 block - sweet!

 

Nice.

 

very nice!!!

 

very nice!! love to trade up!!

 

Wonder if they will do an RS version this late in the model run, and with a poor economy?. BMW cancelled the M3 CSL for instance.

 

Why, are you looking to upgrade there, Mr. McGrath?

Seriously, that video made my heart rate go wild. That is a seriously hot car. Make mine Speed Yellow with the black wheels.
