I know its super critical, the 991.2 is already over 100hp per liter. Early on i was hoping for maybe an increase engine size of 4.2 liters or maybe they would finally realize they were at the limit of the 6 and try a flat-8 or something crazy putting out 550hp+. i know... with the modern regulations and stuff this is a fantasy.
I just feel they are turning the regular street GT3 into more of an RS (focusing on the aero improvements more than anything)... downforce that you won't experience on the street. Curious to see how compliant the new suspension is, the current RS is very stiff while the GT3 is still livable. Lots of guys DD their touring. The 2R tire is already less of a DD friendly tire than the cup 2.
as far as the double wishbone. My old 458 and GTR had double wishbone fronts. My current GT3 never left me thinking... damn this front turn in sucks / lacks feel

You are missing the point of focus on the 992 and that was the front suspension which is a HUGE change and will provide even faster turn in, more stability and increased grip. All this is evidenced by the remarkable Ring time vs 991.2.
The car does 0-60 in 3.2sec with NA motor and revs out to 9k RPM - what more do you want lol? This 4.0 engine was Brand New for the 991.2 GT3. They improved every aspect of the car.
GT3 has always been a track car first that you can drive on the street. It was never intended to be a street / GT car that can also be tracked.
