IB to the rescue.

i am speaking of base price. a GTS is not not close to 100.
and most my cars are base cars. my 4.0 has a lower sticker than 50% of the 3.8RS stickers.

my 3.8 RS has sticker lower than most C2s

 

the proof will be in the rear suspension design.

 

Yep...from watching these cars in the Rolex series that was one of the issues...that and rear diff/pdk cooling.

 

Can you explain further?.. What happened to the Rolex cup cars

 

Well, I can tell you right now that the strut rear suspension is not going to be fully redesigned. It will be beefier, likely with coilovers and adjustable swaybars, but they are not building a true multi-link or double-wishbone.

I had hoped that the 981 might've addressed this, but maybe in the next generation. I don't think it's reasonable to expect such a major undertaking for a low volume model.

 

Exactly. A GTS is $75k and if you add 20% (a big premium) you are at $90k. Hopefully the base price starts with an "8". Only option I'd like (if not standard) are the bucket seats.

 

Thus my statement of parts bin special. Nothing truely developed. Just pieced together using different parts.

I am sure it will be nice however.
I indeed want one

 

Did they tell you what position you are on their list for the GT4? I am curious how many put down a deposit for a GT4 with them.

 

Isn't that a bit of a double standard? No other GT car has had a bespoke suspension design (other than coilovers, better bushings/bearing, LCA's, and adjustable sways) that differs from the fundamental design of the underlying model.

 

I added my name a while ago when I thought I might not get a GT3, and I was still around 10th. This was at least 6 months ago.

 

Rear suspension is just a strut type of deal like the front and not a A arm/wishbone deal...so it's all got to do with geometry and alignment and how it all reacts....due to the tight body work and crammed in engine cooling was an issue but I believe BGB got that worked out.

 

Got it, thanks. Yes; I know how the wheel changes angle with respect to the ground during rebound and compression... Not optimal at all. There was a good discussion either on this thread or another recently, about how the Cayman behaves at the limit (8/10-9/10) because of this rear suspension design. I wonder if for the GT four they wouldn't consider reducing some of the rear storage space to put a proper suspension back there

 

Would like to see development in the car that the aftermarket currently dosnt offer.

 

for a limited run car based off a current car...doubt it in my opinion Porsche would totally redesign the rear suspension and have to R&D new pick up points on the tub and all. Plus they rear suspension cost would be tremendous due to not buying parts in build from vendors for this limited run car.

I still think the Cayman GT4 will be awesome....totally awesome. However word is manual only so since I don't have a left leg to push a clutch pedal then the GT4 won't be for me.
