The Aero On the 4RS has negligible effect. The Wing itself doesn't even receive a Downforce rating from Porsche and has horrible placement.

Vents over the front wheels and contouring behind the front wheels. NACA ducts are probably also not needed, even the GT3 doesn’t have those.

I'll concede to save this thread from further off-topic thrashing.

Previously you said the aero was "for show". Now you're saying "probably also not needed".

Objectively, the aero on the car is functional -- same as on the 4RS.

A dealer in Springfield MO reached out to me this morning with both a GT4RS and SRS. Both cars come with ADMs that was too high for me. PM if interested and I will give you sales associate name and contact info.

NACA ducts are for extra brake cooling. Probably don’t need that for a road-only car, especially if it has the standard iron brakes.

Ok, I'll follow Adrift's lead on this...

Point is that NACA ducts are not aero in the sense of being intended to increase downforce and grip. If they are for extra brake cooling and put in a car that doesn't need the extra brake cooling (SRS), they are mostly or entirely for show. Since the 4RS has NACA ducts, there was no way, from a marketing standpoint, that Porsche was going to produce a sibling car called Spyder RS and delete the NACA ducts. All hell would have broken loose if they did that.

Porsche Charleston has one that buyer went cold on them. WP car with sofas. 30k ADM for in state buyer.
Here's some pics of that car, it's my perfect build minus the seats, hard no and highly doubt they get asking.

My same thoughts. As much as they were telling me to buy buckets separate, I had to pass.

Sofas and base headlights. I refuse to buy a 4RS without PDLS+ or PDLS.
