strippers would be better off waiting for Cayman Spec racer, which Porsche has all but confirmed is coming.

 

True, but depreciation is somewhat uncertain for all of these cars, and RS may be hard to get. Also consider the difference in track insurance cost for a $100K vs $200K car. That alone rules the RS out for me.

 

Yep, another consideration as well. All I know is that I can't figure out if I want a GT4 or not

 

Other then no dry sump or improved engine internals and slightly less hp and more weight then I'd have hoped for, the car to me is quite a hit. Anyone looking at used GT3's this presents an great alternative that comes with a new car warranty and can rival a 991 GTS or 997 GT3. Styling is a hit. I love the modern head lights, no need for a 50's style era head lamp in 2015.

It's no 991 GT3 but it possible is the best value new Porsche to date. Now if the GT3 came with a manual gearbox choice and no center locks I'd spend the extra 40k on one but the GT4 to me looks like a more frugal option. I am sure tires will be less expensive due to rear tire size and pads and rotors will last much longer then the heavy *** GT3.

 

Car for every price point:

Cayman GT4 - $100K
991 GT3 - $150k
991 GT3RS - $200k (TBD)

Albeit these are ballpark numbers, it's pretty close. I think the sweet spot is right in the middle with GT3. I will never buy RS (that's what I'm telling myself :-), as I'm not a tracker, I would never buy a Cayman (for many reasons)--especially at $100k and no PDK-S and that leaves the perfect price point and DD/tracker car--GT3.

 

this is nice

 

Club sport pack is not available for US, correct?

 

US config?
Sorry I'm on a 2 week trip of 2 plane rides and a different city per day.

Not street legal is not an option for me.

Porsche better stop pissing me off and offer CS in a box.

 

 

It seems that the major plus for the GT4 is that it isn't a PDK only GT3. The only thing that AP didn't say in the EVO video was "shut up and shift".

 

Does anyone have an updated picture of Voodoo Blue?

Thanks

 

TRAKCAR -- the U.S. Configurator is up. And they redesigned the mobile site version. You can build it all on your phone. No 3D mode, but still solid.

 

What the Cayman GT4 is a HPDE hit!

Gorgeous car, mid-engined set-up, MT + GT3 parts bin special. Say no more and TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

 

Anyone watch the autocar interview with AP?.. A few further details emerged

-heavily tested for track durability
-gearbox throws have been shortened both at lever and at the box, and the box itself is mounted on adjustable mounts - says that changes are very precise, and with the extra torque the ratios also feel shorter as car presumably goes through them faster.
-at 3 minute mark I chuckled when AP says "this is definitely not a parts bin special"... I wonder if ole' AP is sitting at his computer reading the harmless silliness we post up day and day out ?

 

I wonder what admin here will do with the GT4 in terms of subforum? They don't know how to add any more subforums (at least that was the reason we were given at the 987/981 forum...

Edit: actually they don't know how to delete any subforums. Perfect. They can replace the redundant cayman subforum with GT4!
