Not sure how accurate it is, but according to vinanalytics.com, there were 763 USA GT4s for 2020.

And there were 262 Canada GT4s for 2020, according to vinanalytics data.

i was curious and looking at the difference to what the new corvette production numbers look like for 20 and 21 a bunch of my friends just don't get why you would pay more for a Porsche built car over a GM. I think they are just throwing up a mental block as they don't fully understand the devil in details

They build more C8s in a week than GT4s arriving in the US in a year...lol.

If you are a "numbers" (MSRP, 0-60, HP, TQ, Skid Pad, etc...) person you will never get it. The Porsche driving experience is very sublime and that doesn't translate well onto a 2-dimensional page.

I had the last generation greatest (well almost, that was the ZR1) -- C7 Z06 with/Z07 and M6 -- I bought it new in 2016 (at 21% off lol). Along with that I had a 2004 C5 Z06 M7 that I had bought new at Kerbeck in Atlantic City. I was one of those "I don't get it" people. Funny thing happened along the way -- I bought a 987.2 Spyder.

I haven't driven the C8, but I've seen em on the road -- not appealing to me. I also don't believe that C8, because its mid-engine lol, will finally deliver that "sublime" driving experience. It puts up some great "numbers" -- as did my old C7 (and C5) -- but I'd suspect its as "numb" as my old ride.

Anyway all my beloved Z06s are gone and I'm not on any C8 waitlist...
