With all this talk about who knew/knows what and when about new models, do any of you know when we can expect to read/watch our first road tests of the GT4?

Can't see any being negative or lukewarm given how the automotive press has asked for this car since 2007 PLUS it's a GT with a manual. We think it's frothy now, it's only going to intensify.

The PCCB's on the 991 GT3 are the 3rd generation ceramics; larger rotors, increased ceramic content, improved wear, better cooling. The same brakes are apparently optional on the GT4.

Default Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing the information

I will be in Geneva on the 4th and 5th. Let me know if you have any questions you want me to cover (although with the info here, it almost sounds like I can teach the sales people in Geneva . I hope AP will be there for the second press day too.

My wife says Carmine red as already have white GT3 but am going to change her mind!

Hey Eduardo,

You have me worked out just like my wife LOL! I always order one of my favourite 3 meals at the Thai Restaurant. She always says Im boring and should try something different. I lived in Thailand 4 months and tried them all and those are the three I like best. Why go out for a nice meal and try something that isnt to your liking and have an average experience when you can order something you know you like and have a great experience?

Man logic!

:-)
