I don't know what's wrong with me. Today at the Porsche Parade I saw a GT4 RS for the first time in the flesh and I actually got emotional about it. No kidding. It was like I finally found a promised land or something. True, it's the GT4 that lured me into the Porsche world seven years ago. True, I begged, borrowed, and stole (not really) to get my first allocation to build a GT4 from Porsche Monmouth less than a year later. True, I placed my first deposit on a GT4 RS way back in November 2015(!) ... which won't likely get me anything other than a phone call one day.

But I actually got emotional seeing it for the first time. I feel fortunate to be alive.

I'll try to upload photos but not sure of Internet connection.

He’s at Parade; PCNA vehicle.

Think the US sale date is later in the summer; as long as EPA cert happens.

Just had a face to face convo with the sales manager that got me into my GT4. He said they have 2 coming in.... they are expecting a bidding war starting at 100k ADM.

you dont have an allocation after all these years? um... call some other dealers. many dealers do have them but probably at a market adjustment.

Looks like tire pressures were upped from GT4

2.0 and 2.3 Bar are what they have always been? At least on 981 GT4 anyway.

Question:
For those of you who got your cars already... is the Bose option a must? I mean, can you even really hear it? can I get away by skipping it for this build? thoughts?

You can always skip Bose with a clear conscience. Probably more with this model than any…

From what I've heard of the noise level in the RS you can probably skip the radio period.

I think that’s the same as 2.0 and 2.3 Bar…
