As you had mentioned, only time will tell.

Coincidentally, I just found out that one allocated GT3 RS that is currently finishing production was changed from a 2010 model to a 2011. I seriously doubt (in accordance with some earlier responses) that such a major upgrade would be part of a rolling assembly line change. Then again, Porsche never ceases to amaze me with how they always manage to suprise us (for the most part) with product changes/introductions.

 

I wasn't posting about the dealer mark-ups. I was responding to the absolute BS about the .2 MY11 RS getting another 33 hp over the MY10 RS and GT3. There is no way that's going to happen.

As far as people paying anything over sticker, well... I think that's just plain silly of the people paying and the dealers.

 

Gotcha. In that case, I have to agree with your comment. There is no way a change that drastic wouldn't be widely publicized.

And on a personal note, I also agree with the absurdity of the whole 'over sticker' buying process. However, if people will pay it, dealers will continue to accomodate such offers.

 

So what's the go.

Is this Fuggin Thread BS??

Who's going to dyno their 2011 on day 1???

 

There is of course a chance that the car was making 485hp out of the box and they have simply relabeled it for 2011. Personally I doubt it will be the case but I suppose we will see...

 

Although the RS and GT3 are likely making more than their claimed HP, I really, REALLY, doubt the RS (2010 or 2011) is making 33 HP more than claimed. With that said the 2010 and 2011 cars are very likely making the exact same power. Sure, Porsche could have discovered another 1-2% hp for the 2011s, but some sales guy isn't going to have knowledge of that.

I will also go out on a very strong limb and say that Porsche would not re-label the 2011.

It's much more plausible that the RS/GT3 (2010s and 2011s) are making 2-4% more than the claimed power but that's about it.

 

Agreed, ABSOLUTE BS!

Even dyno-ing a 2011 would prove nothing unless a 2010 with similar miles and break in procedure was dyno-ed on the day and machine; and I'd still expect some variance.

 

when pigs fly

 

I have a simple Solution.

The first person that gets a 2011 delivery just needs to check their rev counter.

 

Marty - Pics of Pat's car. It is wicked in person.

 

We just delivered our 2010's... 2011's aren't even available yet... Silly Rabbit... Trix are for kids

As for the HP myth... the dealer is filling you full of . There is no telling what the HP increase will be on the 2011's.. if any!

 

So so pretty. Just made me want the rs wing more too!

 

This Blue RS above would look hot with the Sharkster Ti tips.......
I say 33> HP is BS....

 

Yeah. I call shenanigans on the HP bump...

 

Recieved a call from my dealer today and he said the 2011's just landed at the port in Miami, Porsche may release the cars in the 1st week in June.
