I recieved my vin# already for my in coming 2011 GT3 RS (two to three weeks)...my dealer did not get the msrp yet from Porsche but they were talking about a small increase. 
Can anyone tell me what I am to look for in the vin # that tells me that it will be 2011?
Btw: Here is hoping the 2011's get the extra 33 hp...not holding my breath.

Loungedog - I speak to most Porsche dealership managers across Canada on nearly-daily basis... I'd love to know who told you this, maybe I can help clarify things. Feel free to PM if you'd rather...

9500 RPM and +33HP? Maybe your dealer is thinking next gen GT3. (By next gen, I mean the 99?GT3 which I assume will become available in NA in 2014 or 2015, not the current gen MK2). Even with that, 9500 RPM sounds way too high but what an exciting car that would make. Of course, that assumes we're all still here after 12/21/2012

has anyone seen these at sticker. local dealer is selling em 30k over and said that i cant order them because they will only be made as an 2011 car. he also said that if i "could"ordered one it would stil be 30k over sticker... for 190k i rather get a lp560 or even a scud for not much more. does anyone think prices will drop anytime soon... im thinking of getting a regualer gt3 and pimping it out casue theres no point in 30k markup...

Just spoke to the manager of my Porsche dealer and he said that he was just told that the 2011 GT3 RS's are coming with an extra 33 HP for a total of 483 HP. 
I asked him if he knew about any details about why the car is getting the extra HP and he said that RS will come with the following changes:
1. 9500 RPM limiter (not sure what it is now)
2. different exhaust
3. new air box
4. new cam
for a total of 33 HP.
Very....
if it is true!
The 2011's are on a boat right now and should land in 2 weeks..not sure when they will be released once they get here.
Can anyone else confirm what was told to me about the extra HP??
PS Sorry, I didn't ask him if the standard 2011 GT3's will be getting these upgrades...I was to surprised to hear about the RS's upgrades.

None taken...
The delivery's for the 2011 RS's are right around the corner (two or three weeks away). I am sure guys with the first cars will be able to confirm if there are any changes to their cars.
If there are any changes, I would guess they would be minor based on the fact the no one else has been able to confirm any major changes to the RS's motor.

485 HP is more like the number quoted for the GT3R 4L racecars or maybe the cupcars. The difference between the 10 GT3 and 10GT3RS is the air-scoops in the engine lid and air intakes to account for the extra 15 HP.
