Default Blk GT4 spotted today in Albany NY

..saw you on Albany Shaker RD this afternoon around 4 . Hot damn your GT4 looks wicked in late afternoon winter light !!! We should grab a coffee one day. I'm in Latham at least once a week. As much as I love my GT Silver, I really wanted Black .

Maybe in the Spring we could get the NJ and NYC GT4 / GT3 group together with the Hudson Valley / Albany folks at Bear Mountain for some driving.

Sounds great ! I've had a few GTG's where we meet at my place in Chatham NY as I'm about 45 mins from Lime Rock and I know some amazing twisty roads that take you though stunning landscapes out here which could tie in with the season opener at LRP . I'm good either way as both are great destinations.

Pistol Pete, do you copy?

And ajw45, I saw you and your beastie at DeMan Motorsports at his open house in Dec 2015. I'd very much like to see and hear your car again!

Maybe it'll be a 911 on GT4 sandwich! Chewy traded in his GT4 for a GT3...and there is another GT3 RS (or two!) that could possibly come along as well, so a mix of P cars is likely. 34 degrees right now, though...we'll have to see if this weather pattern changes, or wait for spring!

Man I would be a grateful happy camper if January turns out mild and in the upper 30's occasional 40's !

Hey I just noticed on your sig you have an RS4 . A few yrs back I had an 08 RS4 that I absolutely loved ! totally regret selling it . It stayed stock for many yrs but eventually got JHM downpipes, non resonated MIlltek exhaust and Ohlins after ditching the DRC. One of my closest friends owns EPL in CT so I also had him write a tune for it....man did that car wake up . I wouldn't think twice about revisiting that car. That said, I still have my RS6 which I don't think I'll ever sell .

911-140.6, I hear ya on the RS4...it's such a wonderful platform and package. I am stock engine-wise, but I could get interested in a few mods; no S/C, though. Currently it's being diagnosed for a vibration under load, and I fear it's a driveshaft issue / carrier bearing (92k miles). I'll hopefully know more next week. I, too, ditched the DRC for Bilstein PSS10s. Same ride, slightly better handling than stock. I'm running Michelin PS4S. It'll soon be time for a clutch. I'm having a good experience with a Southbend clutch I had installed on the S4 (KO4s, fuelling, downpipes, exhaust), so I may either try a Southbend in the RS4 or keep it stock. I've always like the Mugello blue. And, it's hard to find a potent V8 with a manual transmission in all wheel drive, so I'll probably keep it for a while longer...4 1/2 years so far!

Ah cool, I was just over there this week. Maybe we can convince them to do an open house again. They've done a lot of GT4 development the past few years since that event and there's some huge hp on the horizon

^^^^ ajw45, I may have to buy you a beer or two to loosen your tongue a bit. Or you could PM me! Seriously, as I get toward the end of warranty, I am thinking about which mods to do.
