Just got offered a GT4 allocation. Do I pivot and get one of those instead of the Carrera T?

Honestly, some people here are trading in GT4's towards a T so maybe stick with T. Depends if you are focused on track time or daily time.

The T and GT4 are really nothing alike, except for the fact that they share a Porsche crest on the frunk (yes, hyperbole, but you get the point).

You would think that's true, but I recently test drove a 718 GT4 (LWBS, 6MT) and 911.2 T (LWBS, RAS, 7MT) back to back and I was surprised at how similar they drove, how similar the internal space was, and how similar the ergonomics/design was. We are making mountains out of molehills in the Porsche line-up.

I actually used the word Ethos at work today at least a half dozen times.. Unfortunately the only way it looks like I will get a T allocation is by buying one. An acquaintance of an acquaintance is allegedly selling a MSRP allocation for $9K USD. I may be out of touch with the market but to me that seems a bit pricey? I don’t have much time to make up my mind about it either. If I pay for the allocation I might not be able to swing the carbon roof and titanium lugs, which would be blaspheming the Ethos of the T (IMO). Decisions, decisions….

It's actually what I'm doing! Seriously. I have a CGTS 4.0. Best driving car I've ever driven. I'm buying a 911T because I can't get the damned 911 out of my system. My biggest dilemma will be if I decide to keep them both! lol

Serious now: $9k is actually less than many dealerships are charging as ADM so depends what's worth it to you.
