I drove mine to work today, a first in a long while. Not driving it much makes all the better those days on which I do drive it. It's a great sports car.
I did notice, though, how thin the steering wheel feels. Strange. I generally like the Alcantara but the wheel feels very thin.

My 2004 VW R32 has a pretty beefy wheel.
So when I got my GT4, I became rather annoyed with how "thin" the Alcantera wheel felt.
The upgrade to the beefier leather GT wheel is definitely a game changer!
And it really fits in a lot better with the entire dash.
The one thing I am not happy with on my car (and strangely similar in my wife's 2017 Cayenne) that the leather gets a bit sticky especially comparing it with the alcantara,
After 3 weeks of repair remediation in order to get it released as "CPO" (3rd-gear, vacuum leak leading to new muffler, and parking brake adjustment), and 2 months of ownership, first aftermarket mod complete. The good people at TPC installed a much desired DSC controller. They videoed the install to document the "zero'ing of ride height"...not sure if/when/where the film will premiere, but I'm happy with the results so far.
Oddly, in the 1,800 miles I've driven, I'd never driven next to, nor past a police officer. Yet on the shakedown ride home, I seemed to have an escort on no less than 4 occassions, at the end of exit ramps.
I hate to think what will happen if/when I get the Dundon D4 kit installed.
Next "mod" will be getting the 18-way drivers seat repaired. The sole PO racked up 31k miles and popped a stitch on the side bolster. With the lack of space between the wheel and seat, I'm just making the situation worse. Anyone have a "seat guy"?
Took the GT4 to Supercar Sunday Porsche Marque event in Woodland Hills, CA. What an AMAZING turn-out!
Nearly the entire Pierce College p-lot was full of every automobile make/model imaginable.
Snapped over 100 photos, and Chevrolet decided to make a cameo Corvette Stingray appearance.
Have mixed feeling over the design, but if it truly does list at under $60K, the dollar-to-performance ratio is truly amazing.

Saw your car out there on Sunday, I went out with my M2C to look at GT4 colors since I'm in the market for a Sapphire Blue/Guards Red/Speed Yellow one, luckily 1 of the 3 GT4's that showed up was Sapphire Blue so I was able to see it in person.
I personally think the Vette looks worse in person after seeing that same one. Pictures seemed to make it look better?
Finally had my 718 leather wheel installed in my 981 GT4. Thanks again to Switchfoot614 and Diabolo Dude who did this mod. Alcantara wheel going up for sale.

Also found the alcantara to be too thin and slippery. Shall replace soon, where do you guys buy replacement? And would it be possible to retrofit the mulitifunction buttons ?
