Talking I am in love with this car...

and don't own one yet...yet. I fell in love when they came out but couldn't afford one, went other directions and built a race car and enjoyed racing for a few years. Sold that car and now looking for a GT4 this year as prices drop (i hope). I've read almost every thread on here and am planning to enjoy the hunt. I have a time trial car that will get the serious track miles and have a Raptor for a DD. Really want the GT4 for a long term weekend car and to enjoy my club track and COTA with. I live in Dallas and we're blessed with 2 club tracks locally plus COTA within a few hours.

Thanks to all the posters here and if anyone has a white, blue or silver with buckets and wants out this year let me know.

I may sound like the dad with a teenager daughter but promise me you’ll never sell the car once you get it

I probably won't. Still have the Bronco i bought in the 90s after college and the 70 240z my dad bought new. Oh and an FJ Cruiser i bought my wife in 2011. She loves that thing for some reason.

I understand. I drive my GT4 whenever I can while my TTS sits covered in my garage. The GT4 is a great car!

I've had mine for about a month now........own a 2015 Z/28, which is a freakin amazing car in its own right, pure raw brute force hammer. NEVER thought I'd give it up for another car, but the GT4 was one of only two cars I'd ever consider so I ended up pulling the trigger. The more I drive it the more I fall in love with it. Absolutely the most sublime/perfect manual gearbox I've ever experienced......which for me is a HUGE deal. Absolute bliss! The sound of the engine, the way it handles, the gorgeous interior and stunning exterior.......I just feel very, very lucky to own this thing......you will LOVE it!

I test drove one past Friday, this thing is unbelievable, great response like a real track racer and the manual makes it more special, Love it, think I'll sell my 928 or trade...

The GT4 is a backpack.
You feel the CG in your lower back.

Hi Brian, great choice on a GT4, they are fantastic cars!

I have a White GT4 that I'm considering to sell with the buckets, alcantara, carbon and leather packages, red seatbelts, fire extinguisher, black wheels and 4200 miles. Brakes and tires at 80%.

Let me know if you are interested!

What color is that? Almost looks like Chalk, which would be my dream color for a GT4.

Perfect spec, want to trade?
