Speedster - Calling All Cleaning Ladies

I see the GT4 staying NA for a long time with plenty of room to mature with more HP and other Bells and Whistles. Plus, the Engine is in the right place. They can offer in both transmissions ect and they can put the car on a diet with CF/magnesium and get that weight under 3000 while equipping with a heavier engine.

A 718 GT4 Turbo? If F4, it will flop. F6 Turbo wont fit in the mid-engine according to Porsche. My money is on NA. Detuned GT3 motor.
But to stay on topic.....a 4.0L in the speedster makes perfect sense.

Yup, if the 718 GT4 is Turbo that's an auto pass for me. If it's an NA then there is BIG WANT!

If, *if*, the 718 GT4 is a 4 banger - I bet it will still sell
Look at the Carrera T and the enthusiasm for it (or at least that is what I am observing), admittedly I've even had a slight interest in it for some inexplicable reason. Anything "limited" or hard to get from Porsche, along with the "GT" badge + wing and motor sport looks, will sell. I also think/would hope that if AP releases a product from the GT department, 4 cyl or 6 cyl, they will still make a stand up car. The reality is that most cars are FI as we all know and emissions/consumption/etc are under scrutiny so AP/Porsche will do their best to make a product that lives up to Porsche's core values in the face of that. I think Rennlist comprises a small enthusiast group where there are people who are not on here and will line up out the door for for a 718 GT4 or 718 Spyder...
By all accounts the 718s are a hell of a car, just a bit lacking on sound and ability to wind out the engine...
Now watch as we see 718 GT4/Spyder sitting on the showroom lot lol

Well at least that will spare us the value threads on if the ADM is fair and what resale will be like

Planners listen to management and try to make the surveys fit.
Of course it will. There will always be those that missed out at first, listen to planners and pay ADM.
