Just curious to know if anyone played with the idea of swapping their 991 for a GT4 (assuming you could get an allocation)

Pro's and con's ... yes, maybe, never ...

 

Didn't you just get your car?? bored already?

 

NEVER

 

I considered the GT4 before I bought my Cayman S, but it just didn't make sense to me at the time unless I was going to spend most of my time at the track. I can see the allure of the car for certain folks, but I'm not in the niche it speaks to.

Keep in mind a C2S is 4 seconds faster around the Ring than the GT4.

 

By the way, never as well here.

Why would you even want to?? I personally hate having no room behind the front seats.

The only car is trade up to is a GT3. A GT4 would be a step down for myself.

 

That said, when I initially drove the Cayman S and the Carrera S back to back, I preferred the Cayman and bought it first. I'm adding a Carrera S now, not replacing the Cayman. Personally I love the feel of the Cayman and love the tight cabin and the balance of the car. But the GT4 takes the car to a place I don't really want to go.

 

I would not do it either, but I am fascinated by the GT4. I need the rear seat! ;-)

 

This is more fascinating:

 

This is easy for me... nope. I need the backseat.

Now retro-fitting a back seat into a GT3 is an interesting idea for a couple years down the road...

 

No. I'd only add.

 

Thanks for sharing your opinions. I was just curious to see what the effect was on the 991 crowd now that Porsche upped the Cayman's hp.

I do think the GT4 is a tempting proposition especially with the MT, and I like to let my mind wonder a lot, but I would not swap my 991 for a GT4 either.

That wing is too big for a simple Monk as myself

 

Watched again today the Chris Harris review of the GT4 and if I was 10 years younger I would really consider it for the overall raw feel of the car. Right now I love my 4S too much and I don't have the time to be a track rat and really use the GT4 for what it was built for. But I bet it is a great car to drive so who knows.

 

I would see the GT4 as an addition to the stable if I ever did. If I could buy one in a few years depreciated some so I would not feel bad about making it the track car I do want.

 

No way. Nice but a lesser car. Period.

 

You should ask a similar question on the GT4 board.
