The ride height is my only concern about tooling around town in the GT4. I really hope it's not much lower than a stock 360...

The GT3 forum has been all over the GT4 more that this forum, go figure. The ride height of the GT4 is 4.1 inches vs 3.66 inches for GT3. I'm going to guess your 360 in higher than both? The higher ride height vs GT3 may explain lack of front axle lift option (also to keep costs down)

WOW that's something like .75"-1" lower than the 360, I believe.

Does the GT4 have longer front overhangs, though? That's really what's going to dictate its ability to navigate tricky driveways, not just its ride height.

The bumper overhangs a lil more compared to cayman s, plus the lower ride height = you'll be scrapping the chin spoiler

I think you meant "scraping". Nah, scrapping works too

That lighting looks bad for the yellow they chose... I've seen some high res pics of the yellow and it looks awesome.

A side note. Didn't the guy from the GT crew at porsche say that the GT cars will keep the NA engines? Isn't the GT4 a GT car? I know the face lifted 981.2 will most likely carry the flat 4s, so isn't the fear of the 981.2 GT4 having a turbo 4 kinda should be put to rest? Only other possible thing is if the GT4 will only have 1 cycle year.

But is he talking about all GT cars? Obviously not, cause GT2s (which have existed even before GT3s) have never been NA. I think what he meant was GT3s will definitely remain NA for sometime

I personally think he's only talking about the GT3. Wasn't there another report earlier about how all Cayman's and Boxster's will be switching to turbo's?

Everything "normal" is going turbo. Carreras are getting a small turbo 6 and Cayman and Boxsters are getting 4s. Would be nice if they kept the GT3 an NA 6. I also wouldn't complain about more than one year of the GT4 with a proper 6.
