You are right.

No, they want to use the version with the 5-liter V8 engine, with 425 hp. They say that with a car weight of 1480 kg they are very close to the R-GT required ratio of 3.4kg/hp. As we discussed for the Cayman, it is probably a good thing if you are "naturally" close to the required ratio and thus don't need a small restrictor.
If someone is interested in national rallying, here is the official entrylist for Rallye Lyon-Charbonnières in France. If I count correctly I see 10 Porsches plus Nissan 350Z and BMW Z3 :)
