GT4 RS Allocation Thread

Got an allocation yesterday and will be speccing a non WP track focused car. I can't decide between white and shark blue....my current 3RS is GT Silver and while i love silver i need a change. I'll be adding all the kit from SilverFox and really don't want the exposed carbon hood and will put my 13k into mods. Hoping to April PEC delivery and the build gets locked next week.
Am i crazy in hoping for April PEC? I really want to use this car for Smokies GT in late April.

Thanks. It’s a new allocation with build slot of May I was told today. I’ll just bring another car to Smokies this fall. Good luck on your order.

my build was just a shade under $200k with WP, PCCBs. For those of you looking to replace the plastic bits on your 4RS, I have confirmed that 1016 Industries is currently developing carbon fiber pieces to replace the front splitter, rear diffuser, etc; similar to what they have done for the 992 GT3. I can’t wait. Replacing the plastic with carbon fiber will look amazing on this car. It will also hold up better as the plastic front splitter already has a 100 little nicks from street and track driving.

Congrats! You will not be disappointed. This car is a keeper. My best time was 1:22 flat with a top speed of 154mph down the straight. It was very consistent until the tires lost some grip. I ran 20 laps in a row in the 122s. There is quite a bit more time in the car, but I didn’t want to risk having an incident. Also, I only have an aggressive street set up as I drive it quite a bit (3500 miles in a little over a year). The platform also has some limitations as other posters have mentioned, but the car is fun as hell.

Yes, I highly doubt I would go 10/10 with a 4RS either. When I used to track street cars, I would run about 2-2.5 camber at the most so I didn't chew up the tires on the street. But even with that, it felt like the car was on rails. Just for comparison at RRR, top speeds for 997.1 RS was around 140 and 997.2 around 145-150. 154 is fast! I live close to RRR...I can hear the cars from my house.

I hope you are right about 2025 MY, when they pulled the GT4 and the Spyder, they didn't give any notice and many were left out to dry...

FWIW my allocation is being built in August. My dealer told me they didn't know if it would be a 24 or 25. I don't think they know if there will be a 25 RS model. PCNA did say that Cayman production would have a couple years overlap with the 25 e-Cayman. That was pretty vague though and didn't specify details on the RS version.

More than likely bonus allocations that usually happen each MY- good news - if production is running good so they can fit in some additional builds.
