Also, if you'd like to use SoloStorm for capturing your autocross runs, it can interface via WiFi with the car telemetry through Porsche Connect and it will provide things like steering angle, throttle position, and brake pressure; things not available through many of the OBD dongles. But again, you need Sport Chrono and Nav/Car Connect (they are a package) for that to work.

I love having PCCBs given that I don't plan on heavy track use. I am doing a fair amount of autocross and sporting Hill Country drives instead. So wear, life, and cost isn't a big concern for me. At least I don't deal with that dang dust like I did with my 911s. And again assuming no heavy track use, you don't have to replace the rotors/pads as frequently as steels so that makes up part of the eventual cost IF you keep the car long enough and put on enough miles to need new rotors.

Thanks to the help of a great member on this forum, I was able to score an allocation for a MY23 GT4 with a modest $15k ADM, which I believe isn't too bad in this market. I am currently at V200 with a freeze date in July, build in September, and delivery in late October/early November. Very excited that my hunt for an allocation is over and I am now on the journey towards a build!

Just for some background, my wife and I will be using this car as a weekend toy. I may end up doing some autoX or light track duty depending on how things play out. I've done autoX before in previous cars and really enjoyed it. I have ample garage space and given the fact that ICE sports cars are fading away relatively quickly, I intend to keep this car for quite some time.

I did previously have a 2017 base 718, which I really enjoyed. I did not have the 2-zone auto climate control in that car and it was not an issue, so I skipped that for my GT4 build. Overall, I am pretty happy with where I am at. The biggest thing(s) I am considering adding are some yellow accents in the interior to complement the PCCB (yellow stitching, steering marker, seat belts). May also add sport chrono just for the look of the clock, as the upper dash looks a bit "empty" without it (had it on previous 718 and it looked nice). There is a small part of me that wants to switch to Chalk with satin aurum wheels and black carbon ceramic brakes, but Shark Blue is spectacular in person and I think I would regret not picking it on a fun weekend toy.

Porsche build code: PPHQ91T6

Thank you in advance for the feedback! Can't wait to take delivery later this year! Cheers!

Do you really need 3 feet of chrome P O R S C H E on the back…IMHO no.

Delete the designation also.

I'm probably in the same boat as you in regards to track/AutoX duty. Will be lighter track duty and more autocross. Dust isn't as big of a deal since I'm going with black wheels rather than a lighter color, but it's still a benefit.
