I know at least one of the GT4's cheated. He went by the sound meter during testing at full throttle, but in 6th gear. Yes, you will pass, but if you mess up and blow the county meter your day may be done and you may get fined. Not worth it to me. Also not a fan of bolting parts on a brand new car. I may show up just to run by the sound meter and see how bad the GT3 fails. And see how yours does with the turndowns.
And agree... can't hurt to get a 'free' full throttle pass.
Best Regards,
Dave

I have these for sale still. They have silencing cones internally and could be cut off and adapted to a GT3 style muffler plate.

Is there actually a video from PAG actually showing the manual is only 3 seconds slower though, ie a 7:15-16 lap? So far that 3 second different claim has been widely touted about but there's actually been nothing concrete to show that other than a claim somewhere that Timo kluck says it's 3 seconds. fwiw i genuinely don't have a strong opinion about what that time differential should be either. for a pro driver I can just about believe 3 seconds but for a the typical amateur, even a decent one, I think that difference would be a lot greater though.

Hahaha, funny stuff. I always said that once the honeymoon period passed, people would be bored with the PDK. Truth is that you'll always prefer what you don't have. Something about grass always being greener because it's fertilized with bull$hit. Anyways, if you want to have fun on the street, you're buying the wrong car. Get the Boxster Spyder and never look back.

I don't look forward to the day when the manufacturers will come out with "Autonomous track mode" where you just sit in the car and punch in the track name and enjoy the ride.
