$0 in Canada. The way it should be.

That eventually ended up coming true; it just took a LOT of patience if no longstanding relationship with good dealer. and, even if there were a few exceptions, the relative weakness in secondary 991 gt market (relative to early in the 991 cycle) will help the spyder and future GT’s be easier to get. Until it all starts over again one day, which it will but in the next few years, it’s gonna be a LOT easier to get a Porsche GT product. Rebalancing the s/d in car market seems to be a slow, painful process and always over-shoots.

LOL. Let the previous model owners go into hate overdrive. It happens every time a new model is announced. It's more accurate than an atomic clock. Breaking out the popcorn.
And you are mistaken on the performance too. Just saying.
"With all these changes, the new 718 Cayman GT4 is 10 seconds quicker around the Nürburgring Nordschleife than its predecessor. That means it should run a 7:30 around the 13-mile circuit, which is about five seconds off a new 911 Carrera S. Not bad for a car you have to shift yourself."

(1) The graph above shows dots for the 2nd - 3rd - 4th gears - looks so much better, nice long run in second, the go to gears third and 4th pack some punch up top now - will feel really strong.
(2) The aero will be much improved, interesting to see how much additional down force is available
(3) When Porsche makes suspension tweaks they may sound small but usually add quite a bit
(4) Why do people keep banging on about 400lbs of weight gain???? clearly don't realise its simply a large function in the way weights have to be reported
(5) Tires MPSC2 N1........nothing to see here
Overall I think the package will prove to be greater than the sum of the parts - typical Porsche and with a full warranty.

Excellent chart. Would like to see 2.5 T4 vs the 4.0 F6.

‘Gear dots’ on a Torque,Power vs. RPM graph makes no sense to me. Please explain.

Why does the 981 GT4 HP line peak below 400, when we know it has over 400 hp?

Not bad at all - I don't think some 981 GT4 owners can see the wood for the trees
(1) The graph above shows dots for the 2nd - 3rd - 4th gears - looks so much better, nice long run in second, the go to gears third and 4th pack some punch up top now - will feel really strong.

We could use 718 GTS data in that graph, too...
