GT2 RS Shifter - is it totally new?

Reading more and more about this car - each article makes mention of a tighter throw shifter in a GT2 RS. I am now curious what this part number will be/is and if it is indeed new. It would be nice to convert it to 997 GT3 if compatable.
Sure I know there are other options out there...cup cables etc....
I just want to make this simple and clean and wonder of this will work...and more importantly get rid of the 2nd to 3rd shift vagueness that plagues my GT3..

Answer is...

Shifter assembly same as 2010+ GT3
Shift cable same as 2010+ GT3
Limited Slip Differential same (POS GKN unit) as GT3 going back about a decade.

Part numbers are identical.

Sadly, more parts bin engineering... Suckered AGAIN!
