Hasn't Porsche said that a GT4 RS is unlikely? Or do they have a history of lying to us about that kind of thing?

Based on the success of the GT4, it wouldn't make sense to not release one. We know they're going to release the GT4 cup car next. So my guess is the following year (2018-19) they'll release a GT4rs along with a GT2. Just like they did with the GT3rs/GT4 this past year.

They also said a Cayman/Boxster with more power than a 911 would never happen, yet here we are

If you flip the car quickly will PCNA blacklist you from getting future GT cars?

you have a very interesting color combo. I like that you chose the yellow stitching which I think looks best but you kept the red brakes. And then you have the black wheels. Very unique but it works. Good luck whatever you decide to do. I think if you start to drive it you will keep it.

Drive it and stay on the list for another one. Make the decision if/when the second allocation becomes available.

Thanks! I planned on having the calipers painted yellow to match the interior. I just went with steels over PCCBs since I planned on tracking it.

Good morning,


I would be glad to take it off your hands should you decide to unload it. I wanted a GT4 for a track toy. How much my friend?

Drive safe,

Drive the stinking hell out of it! As zmon says, you will keep it.

If LWBs mean that much to you sell it if/when you get another allocation. I can't foresee a situation where you wouldn't be able to sell it for at least what you paid for it.

Sure, get PTS on the next one (I would have loved to) but sell your kidney for that... don't miss out on driving this car!
