do not sell. This car will be just as desireable as the rest of them 15 years from now.

Make room. trust me.

Put it in temporary storage for awhile.

Construction is temporary. Selling an orange PTS 4.0 is pretty much permanent.

Don't sell!!!!! Really think you will regret it. Sell the 9k Ford GT. That Orange 4.0 is too special. Can you take a moment and compare the driving experience of the 4.0 with the Carrera GT for all of us. Pleeeease....

I will take a shot at it gtdoggie...I had the pleasure of riding in a 4.0 yesterday and I owned a CGT. And I also owned a 3.8RS. The RS are very special cars and have amazing thrust for a NA car. The suspension is great and in the hands of a good driver it is alot of fun.

To me the CGT is on another level. The car is truly sublime...the sounds and the power are amazing. The CGT is tricky...the clutch is tough to release into 1st gear and the 1st to 2nd shift is difficult when the car is cold. For me it is the ultimate car and I will be buying another one.

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't responded quicker.


Gtdoggie to answer your question they are completely different. From my perspective the GT3 is a far better handling car, but almost feels for you to reach beyond the cars limits you are going way too fast. The CGT feels special at any speed at any time. You can be sitting in the garage not moving and it feels special. Where the 4.0 is special is its speed, handling, and rack capabilities. The CGT can bite you, at any second, and has bitten a lot of people before. Coming from a professional racecar driver, anyone that drives one and thinks they are in control is fooling themselves. That car can be a monster, you just have to treat it with the utmost respect. GT3 can you drive it hard and get away with a lot, but like I said for something to go wrong you are hauling ***.

In my opinion both are 2 of the great Porsches ever made. If the orange car doesn't sell, it doesn't. I'm not begging anyone to take it. I love it, but just don't use it enough.

So wish that you would take a black 4.0 with 8000 miles plus 50K as trade.

Alright now, don't be crazy.

That black 4.0 is just as bad-dass as that orange 4.0.

What an amazing car. Maybe one day I'll be fortunate enough to drive one.
