Funny to see that today. I watched a savagegeese video about the GT4 last night. It was from June 2017. In it he mentioned the potential change to GT4RS.

Ah that blows. That said 73 on a 35 yikes! Luckily I do a first gear to second gear shift in the tunnel I am talking about as I just enter right after taking a 90 degree left hander out of a traffic light lol!

The Spyder is all about fun and the crazy good exhaust - gurgle and all - is a big contributing factor to my overall enjoyment of the car.

Summed up perfectly!

Question: I owned a gt4 for a short while and bought a spyder with a fair amount of time in between. Is the spyder exhaust the same, just louder due to top (or lack there of)?

Exhaust is the same I believe.

That was my assumption. The roof makes a BIG difference.

Don't Stress... The is an older body out and about testing (wearing the GTS bumper and rear spoiler). Must be testing mechanical/emission stuff?
Still wearing the GT4 wheels/Brakes/Tires.

Well-connected forum member 'whoopsy' in the GT4 thread alluded that the top would be similar to 987 Spyder's. It would make sense since the model is being developed by GT Division; they would want to make their decisions by keeping up with the GT-values. They could ditch the electrical latch, for instance. I hope they do. We aren't likely to see such changes until the official launch. It will be even cooler if they ditch the top completely, like the Speedster; and, give us a tonneau cover! But, unlikely to happen!

Uhh, where did he state that? Pretty sure he stated it was the 981 roof. I think you are getting the Speedster concept mixed up with the Spyder.

That’s not what he said. I think you misinterpreted. There’s almost zero chance they revert back to the 987 top.
