Beautiful color for the Spyder...makes me wish I wasn't so in love with white because the red looks great.

Over a year since I put a deposit down and it's finally home. Thank you to everyone who posted their cars on this forum. It allowed me to make the best decision I could possibly make for buying of an MSRP $130k car sight unseen (how insane are we?). So, here is mine is and I hope you all take time to post yours for others. More "action" pics to come once weather improves.




Zero regrets.

Seems GR is one of the lesser spec’d at this stage - not seeing a ton. Thread is in need of some fresh photos!!

Stunning car, I love it. For anyone that stresses about yellow calipers not working with red accents or Aurum wheels, these photos are the best counterpoint. Looks amazing.

Seems like not a lot of guards red over here. I still have 5 more days to lock my 2022 GT4 order and I still haven't decide between silver stitching & red stitching. Seems like all guards red are go with red stitching. Anyone have pick silver stitching and have some pic to share? Thanks.

Not a GT4 / Spyder, but took these of my car which I feel are a good depiction of GR in bright lighting (click on photo for better quality).

Count me in. In a local group I am in, we try and meet up once in a while, but unfortunately there are no other GRs around. Kind of like the fact that they are a bit less common, but still nice to have another GR in the group once in a while!

Other then my friend's 981 GT4, I never meet up other that driving Cayman. Would love to meet up some new local friends.

Bought a 1:43 model from mintmodels. Pretty reasonable quality for ~60$

Completely agree on the gearing. It's a total let down. 987 gen wasn't much better to begin with. 981 gen made it worse. But, 982 gen made it even more worse! Just pretty fu%*ed up! Our best bet is changing the Final Drive. I was all set to change it; but, the Covid thing put a break on my road trip to have it done. Will have to be next year. With your GT4, you may wanna wait until the powertrain warranty runs out. If you like shifting, a lot, as I do, then the Vmax in at least first 3 gears got to go low!
No one talks about this but changing the final drive is the perfect solution. (I’ve posted this before and people lose their minds so save it. There is an obvious problem and a final drive swap is the obvious solution.) At some point $7,000 will be sitting around unused and I’ll do it. I just don’t want to mess up the LSD or PTV.

The GT3 has almost the exact same top speed for 2nd gear. FWIW.
