I have not noticed any difference with comparing WP to non WP. Drove the WP at Leipzeg and I have non-WP.

I received 2 calls for a 4RS. Both asking in the neighborhood of 75k ADM still. Cali of course. I'm holding off for sure.

im so tired of dealers pushing ADM on us. I mean, for ****s sake... the Porsche just upped their prices on top of that. Why are we getting battered from every angle? Just wish collectively we just ALL refuse ADM. Dealers would have to come down to earth. Anyway... one can dream.

Why are they calling you? Did you give them your number? Just tell those a-holes to call you once the price gets closer to MSRP.

As a customer they have my info. One rep has clients shopping for a GT4, he asked if I wanted to sell and move into a dealer spec 4RS.

I've driven (2) WP and my own car is a non-WP, and I can't perceive a difference in sound.

Remember, at the upper limit the sound is coming from engine bay and connector tubes which escapes to inside the car. Sounds eminating from the exhaust and possibly from the upper inlet are completely overshaddowed by the mechanical riot going on inside the engine bay.

But for the record, the car is not loud in "normal" driving. Someone here said it best when they said its got 2 personalities - Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde. When below highway speeds on the street (without sport exhaust or sport mode) it sounds it sounds like a normal Porsche. But, when you stomp on it, the beast awakes and it screams with mechanical madness. Note; at highway speeds it is louder than normal due to elevated RPMS because of no overdrive gear. So below 50 - 60ish its perfectly normal. 60-80 its a bit loud. Floored, it is completely insane.

Pretty cool video on the 4RS, including walkthrough of typical Manthey track setup of the car, 100% standard OEM hardware: Ride heights, cambers, toe and aero.

Kit looks like it is based upon WP mags if you want the aerodiscs.

I have heard that Manthey are working on another alternate wheel offering however.

Interesting they installed the grills on the lower air intakes. The fender vents look great in CF wonder if this is more cosmetic than anything else.

Grilles on the lower intakes are still useful, there are fans behind there for cooling.

As for the fender vents… I think that whatever is going on there is going to open them up to produce more df, as I’m not really sure how effective the OEM configuration really is from factory…. and has been alluded to by a few people.
Obviously, the Carbon Fibre is eye candy.

Since GT4RS has a slightly wider track both front and rear, I wonder if fenders (front and rear) have been pushed out a bit a well to clear the wheels? I guess there is no way to know for sure.
