Hello Rick, I'm the gentleman emailing you from Canada and I'm here to say that my wallet does like that I read this entire thread lol. You're doing the lords work.
Your GT4 or a 992 GT3 Manual? I understand the cost difference...Just very curious what your opinion would be. I'm looking for 'experience' not just speed, although having both would be awesome. I have a 992 GT3 allocation at what I'd consider a very 'reasonable' ADM (if there is such a thing)...BUT, it would still be a lot more than a used/new GT4 with the DeMan treatment. I have a 720s, which is silly fast and fun, but I always find myself reaching for the 2019 manual ZR1 keys because of the engagement, but it's porky...3650lbs. I'm thinking perhaps a GT4 from DeMan might be the perfect balance. Visceral, light and fun. Thoughts from someone who has put some miles on one? Thanks!

First congrats on the 720s, huge fan of those and hoping to add one to the garage one day to scratch fill my spider slot
Well good news is you can't lose here either way. Worst case is you take delivery of the GT3 even at a slight mark-up, drive it a little, see how you feel and then decide to sell or not, probably for a profit.
In terms of the GT4 it really checks a lot of boxes, even if you put money on or off the table as a factor. There's a real good reason a guy like Matt Farah decided to get one even after driving every press car on the planet and all the hot stuff. GT4 will be fun, small, nimble, and a different feel compared to the GT3. For me it's really a size thing, it's just right.
It's been a while since I've updated the thread so figured it was time. Especially since I made the quick jaunt down to visit @Rick DeMan at his new shop and peep all the new 4.5L things. First things first, Rick's new shop is awesome. All condensed down, just 4.5L work, super nice, and as always Tony greeting folks at the door. All the usual crew there, same guys that built my motor years ago which you just love to see be the case in a small business. Second thing, the car is just great. I'm still so happy with it years on and it's still such a great bang for the buck. No matter how many GT car variants I've gotten behind the wheel of it remains my favorite. Motor feels strong, she ran great up at Club Motorsport last season for a day, and I'm continuing to log miles up and down the coasts of New England. Also shout out to @12v Nick and the Musicar guys, stereo still rocks. The car also just got a full PPF/ceramic/tint refresh from Q Car Care so it's looking great as well as feeling great. Up to 27k miles on the car and no plans to stop.
The car and I will be out in Cali next month for Air/Water feel free to come say hi. My typical attire for Luft events is absurd tracksuits so chances are if you see one walking around it's me or someone from my group of friends also in on the bit.
