What do you guys think about the spec and color of this GT4? A really good customer is ordering it, he said he is thinking about a couple different colors but so far is set on black.

Thanks for the opinions!

All this is so personal. I have the black and love it...HOWEVER, I've seen the Agate Gray and I am bummed I didn't go that route...

GeoffJr@Isringhausen

Very nice car! Yeah agate looks great on the GT4..

I went with agate but obviously color is personal choice. I would likely forgo the sport chrono thingy and car is a little too blingy for me but to each his own.

Might get more response by putting this on GT4 specific section of rennlist too Geoff. It is under 987-981 section.

That's a pretty cool option list

Personally I'd go with red accents instead of yellow, I think red is sharp against black. The only other comment is have is - is the buyer looking for a car to track or a car to street? It seems like they are choosing a lot do options that do both- but, it's all personal in the end

A few comments. All my opinion and worth what you paid for them. And all the choices are highly personal.

He has a lot of painted interior trim – over $4k worth! With a black car, I’m not sure it’s worth it. Not much contrast with the rest of the black interior. Also, on the Cayman, the painted air vent slats still have the cheap silver colored surround and no deviated stitching. (with a 911, the vent surround is leather and has deviated stitching – I have this option on my 911, would not order it on a Cayman or Boxster). Maybe he could do the painted bits in a deviated color? Racing Yellow would make the interior pop!

I’m not a carbon fiber lover – it’s been done to death. Some love the stuff. Maybe carbon fiber interior package instead of painted?

I’m not a fan of PCCB’s, but some are. Looks like he is building an awesome street car, so they should be fine.

Sport Chrono isn’t worth the cost for what you get.

Dashboard trim in leather doesn’t get much extra leather and no extra stitching. Plus it’s in the worst place as far as sun damage goes. Probably not worth it. On the other hand, the steering column and door sill guards are nice touches and visible every time you use the car.

That’s got to be the hardest loaded GT4 I’ve seen! Looks like an amazing car.

Any color but black.

So, so beautiful.

mooty

way too much stuff on it.
just pick blk and bucket and be done with it.
should be busy driving not admiring.

you did ask for opinion, here is mine.

Spyerx

30k in options none of which make it better to drive or faster. Sell him a GTS instead.

I'd go with CF rather than painted interior pieces. Also would get alcantara sun visors to match alcantara headliner.
I understand yellow thread over red to match as best as possible, ceramic brakes.
What about electronics? Sirrus?

mooty

CF is fake and will crack

jphass

I suppose one shouldn't expect too much from the carbon fiber option as it costs only about $1800 for both cf options.

That's a pretty typical spec to what's rolling out of carousel in Minneapolis

That said the more I look at all those options, and what they cost vs what you get, the $90k gt4 makes more and more sense (Base+lwb and call it a day). Then again I'd probably enjoy a $116k gt4 more than a $116k 991. Mine is similar spec with steel brakes and no pcm and no auto climate. Although I might want to get a Bluetooth audio option.

if people specd these to the level of a 993 that everyone is gaga over lately, they'd all be base models.

The way these things are getting specd one has to wonder if P shoulda loaded the base car to $98500 and secured some addl margin on each one.

And what's the beef with thread color and caliper color? does it really matter? If anything get grey belts so the yellow pep boyz belt doesn't look so gaudy. However I'm gonna wear a blue shirt with my yellow belt during track days��
