Yes- you are correct. I do not track.

I really liked my 981 GT4 but the engine was underwhelming.

If they are actually going to dump 500 hp in to a revamped GT4 it is going to be a beast. Love the mid-engine platform and the smaller feel of the GT4.

We will see.

IMO these are among the few cars left that are fun on the road, so much personality. The new supercars with turbos/hybrid/sound regulations/GPF choking turbos/etc. have become sterile and lacking in nuance.

Porsche still “gets it.” (And some of you will cringe when I write this...but...Corvette still gets it too.)

I am on list for a 992 GT3 Touring and just yesterday cancelled my deposit for a Ferrari F8 Spider.

I do not disagree with you on the Corvette and I have never been a huge fan but respect the value for performance.. I am betting the new Z06 will be a beast with a lot of personality.

Would be great, but I highly doubt they put that much engine in the new gt4RS

I totally agree. No way they are putting that much power in a GT4 though.
