Vroom vroom.
Don’t get me wrong, I love what McLaren is trying to do here. On paper it’s a winner. And all those numbers, just by pressing go and flipping a paddle. Woweee! Sorry, I‘M just not into that Play Station thing. I do love the way the doors open though. 21st century badass!

I'm just LMAO that you were shocked that the GT4 was 'muted in power' compared to your RS and GT3, two cars pushing 50-100 more hp. You may want to read the specs of the next car you buy before you plunk down your money.

I can relate to OP. When I took delivery of my 981 GT4 I had a touch of doubt the first couple months too. As most people have already noted, I think we're talking less about the GT4 in particular and modern cars in general. I certainly thought about trading the GT4 in on a 991.2, 997, or 964 for quite a while until I got my GT4 where I wanted it and now I love it, no wandering eye towards any other car unless I get more garage space to add something to go next to the GT4. One solution to get that engagement is certainly to go older, something a few generations back, further than a 997 really IMHO for feel and further than a 964 for something actually lighter and much smaller.
Personally, rather than actually go backwards my preference was to mod the GT4. I like the ergos, the interior, the modern chassis, pccbs, pse, pasm, all of it, it's just a little too refined and isolating except for all the tire roar/road noise. Spherical bushings all around, lightweight flywheel, headers & exhaust, small things that add a little nvh really brought the experience one step towards an older car without losing the new goodies. The hard mounted GT3 exhaust gives the engine a pulse you can feel in the seat at idle, the ltw flywheel's rattle, quicker revving, and ease of stalling at the slightest incline give the engine new character, and bushings bring more feel through the feel and the seat. Oh, and shorter gearing

Don’t be “that Guy”. You don’t know what people have or can afford. You’re comments scream douchebag, but I don’t simply assume you are one. I’ll reserve that judgement for if and when I ever run in to you...although I have my suspicions.
