If somebody wants to drift off into convos about tequila, and somebody else wants to drop in and ask for a synopsis to avoid reading about tequila and turbo speculations, and somebody else wants to build a graph showing revs-in-gears plotted against FM-station-frequencies, well, they can just have at it. If the market doesn't want to answer the guy who wants a synopsis it simply won't happen. If somebody does want to answer it, it will be answered and those who find this distasteful can just skip it. As I have skipped many comments in this very thread.
+1. It's an open forum. An open forum about cars. Not life and death stuff. People need to chill out.

It doesn't have to be good Tequilla.

That should catch you up if you just got here...
Like this guy/gal. Nice summary

Thx! Same story with the 718 Spyder or is there a separate thread about it?

EDIT: Nevermind, found the (dead) Spyder thread:

My fix for 718 anxiety is to simply get in my GT4 and go for a drive. Two weekends ago I went to the Smokies with three friends from the Smokies GT group. The weather was great and I had the opportunity to drive a '16' GT3 RS along with a manual '18' GT3. The front grip on the RS was simply amazing. The '18' GT3 is definitely a step up from the .1 and the manual makes a great addition for those wanting to row their own.

What I came away with from the weekend is I can't use any of the three cars to their full potential. The price delta on the 718 would pay for a lot of weekends in the 16. And at over 21000 miles, with the exception of a coil pack, my GT4 has been rock solid.

/\ This. I put almost 700 miles of twisty mountain roads and an autocross on my GT4 this past weekend. I feel sorry for the guys sitting on the fence perpetually waiting for the next big thing. I bought my GT4 only a couple months ago knowing full well a 718 GT4 was very likely if not certain. Life is too short. If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with.

for the price difference between the 718 and 981, you could pay for this: https://bondurant.com/racing-programs/

you would be much faster if you could drive better

I prefer to blame my lack of speed on poor gas.

Autocross? Hell yeah! And there were two 2015 GT3s there too. PFFFT!

FTD out of 85 drivers on my last run.

No.

That's a 981 GT4 they've been having some fun with.
