Don’t settle for a GT4.

 

You make it seem as settling for a gt4 is a bad thing. Settling for a car that won evo car of the year over a loaded playing field does not sound bad at all. As someone who has now driven both cars extensively I don't understand why it is sometimes looked down upon.

Steve, if a GT4 is the one most attainable to you, I firmly believe you will not be disappointed in it. It isn't the mezger or the 4 liter in the 991s but they are damn good. Revving them out is very satisfying and the 981s sound very good (have not driven a 718 so can't comment). I would say the biggest negative from my experience is that you need to drive it a little faster to really get the experience. The older 997s can be fun even at slow speeds but the newer cars seem to take a little more. I still really enjoy driving it on public roads and it is such a nice neutral, balanced feel. I never really had a problem with the tall gears but I know that is one negative for a lot of people.

I personally think in time, the gt4s (and soon to be gt4 RS) are going to be quite desirable.

 

ehh its just me bidding it up, figured for $120k i'll take it as a track car . Then I'll put his concourse black up for someone to stare at.

 

Sold for $295k including fees.

 

Sold for 295 with fees

 

BOOM

 

@Upscale Audio I saw your comment. You really wanted to buy this car? I figured you more for a PCCB kind of guy.

 

I know this will not please some of you guys, but I think a dealer bought the Green .1 RS on Pcarmarket.

You are correct sir, but it really is a beautiful car. But it would end up doing what it's been doing all these years, parked and polished. I would continue to drive my white .2 GT3 (which I also drive to work maybe once a week).

I told John @RapidGT that my dream car is a white .2 RS w/ white gold wheels. If it doesn't happen I'm super stoked with my garage now.

 

Nothing wrong with preserving one while driving another.

 

Yes, may be relisted for $375K

 

He's a high caliber dealer, unlike many of the others referenced in this thread who are buying publicly listed cars and just marking them up. My guess is this was bought for a particular client, not for inventory.

 

I'm now following them on Instagram.

 

Re-read his posts. Sure seems as though he wants the GT3.

Really has nothing to do with the goodness of the GT4.

Oh, and I had a GT4 for three years (bought it new).

 

I'm gonna take a counterpoint here. I've owned both the 997.2 GT3 and the GT4. I ordered a GT4 new to my spec and really thought it would be a better car than the GT3. I kept it all of 18 mo and sold it. For me, the GT3 is a fully developed package that just is greater than the sum of its parts. The GT4 was a great chassis in search of a drivetrain that wasn't hobbled. The motor felt choked and the gearing overly tall. For anyone who has driven a DeMan 4.5 GT4, THAT is what the car SHOULD have been. It's a much closer driving experience to the 997 GT3. Still, even given that choice, I'd pick the 997.
