Yea, I saw that too, it's cool for those who will be racing stock. (I'm assuming most of you know what a Gurney flap is, but for that one ignoramus: http://www.allamericanracers.com/gurney_flap.html

GT = Has the LSD making it a awesome track day weapon but retaining a lot of the creature comforts of the GSR (only difference being no leather recaros (full alcantara though) and the HID lamps (a 550 pounds option)). Also retains the bilstein shocks of the GSR.
RS = Hardcore trackday weapon.

Ok, ok, ok, ok!! How about we all calm down?
If the above press release is available on a PUBLIC website, with no password needed, it is not violating anything, other than perhaps Mitsubishi making it active a little too soon.

Funny how everyone got so heated up for information that was already out there and to top it off, it doesn't even look like we're getting SAYC or the cool rear bumper 
Hopefully tomorrow they'll say that the GT and RS have the magnesium turbo setup.
