Love the GT4. My Cayman S (987) was a great track car. I modded it to 320 hp, spacers, sticky tires and stiffer anti-roll bars and it was even better. I am sorely tempted by this car.

I misread his statement. Speed reading does that some time. I read ... "I wish the 5-lug wheels were on option on the Carrera GTS!"... but he wrote "I wish these 5-lug wheels were on option on the Carrera GTS!"... which is why I responded the way I did. I have gone back and modified my original statement.
Was just trying to help. I certainly won't make that mistake again!

It's also classic Porsche marketing by staggering the offerings and not throwing everything out there at once. Look at the releases of the various 991 models.
HP is understated at 385 too. It's around the 400 mark. Same as the Carrera S.

BTW, I don't know how serious I am about this, but I contacted my dealer sales guy yesterday inquiring about the GT4. He says nothing in concrete yet, but they expect to have 3 allocations for July delivery, then unknown after that. Thus far only one has been claimed. I'm very tempted but don't think I'm willing to take the depreciation hit on my 991 just yet.

What happened to the PDK? If the turbo/GT3 only have PDKs which are "slightly" faster, why bother. I just switched from my C2s (7MT) to a Turbo with only PDK. I loved MT this will be my first sports car with a PDK.

Funny thing is they said they will "consider" the PDK in a year or two. It's so obvious what they're doing and why.
Great car though. A mostly "stripped" model is the steal in the lineup for sure. I doubt you'll find a dealer car under 100k sticker though. 5 grand for batman seats lol! And probably half with PCCB just so ppl won't get as much wheel dust lmao!
