Wow - such a gem - and a GTS! It must turn heads a bunch - how often do you drive it? Do you get an incredible amount of attention? The color in real life is so incredible - we are very lucky that P offers funky colors like this for us to enjoy - now if only they could make the PTS program less onerous...

Don't know what you meant by "questionable" - but I think it's a FABULOUS color!

To your question about stock: I felt the same way about the stock Peridot Metallic on my Cayman R. It made no difference to me that it was a "stock" color. I love the color - not the rarity.

I enjoyed not seeing the color everywhere, but I would routinely see another Peridot R at various track events. Sometimes even two others. Didn't bother me in the least. I thought it was cool that someone else loved the color enough to choose it.

Thumbs up Awesome

Just stumbled across this thread and I have to say what an awesome choice of colour and spec for the GT4!!!

I bet it looks absolutely stunning in the flesh

Default Mint Green GTS

I've been driving Mint Green MT GTS daily. I think it's one of two in the world and the other is RHD PDK. Lots of "thumbs up" for Mint Green car. I like the "softness" of the color in sunlight. I also have a '16 Riviera Blue MT GTS still in the wrapper.

I spent some track time with the GT4. Just fantastic. Last week I took one out on the street for the first time. Love it on the street as well. Very direct and connected.

I have a Yellow Boxster Spyder still in the wrapper and another to be collected in Zuffenhausen late April. It will interesting to see the differences between the Boxster Spyder and the GT4. No doubt the GT4 is superior on track. I'll try to document the delivery and driving impressions of Boxster Spyder in Europe.

Thank you again for reminding me of Mint Green. All the Best. L

No clue - have not put it on a dino - but Fabspeed has and has data posted unlike other manufacturers.

My butt Dino is super happy - would recommend it to anyone who doesn't daily drive their car and doesn't care about some temporary drone at the low end until kit is broken in.

As a whole - I am incredibly happy with the output

Do you track almost exclusively or drive the gt4 on the road a lot? I found the valvetronic plus headers to be too much for urban driving.. a beautiful sound but too much for my surroundings. I am now back to sport headers, stock PSE, TB/PLenum and its the perfect transformation. Still quiet below 4krpm and a free flowing beast above that.

I'm not on the road much. I would agree that the sound is too much for urban driving.

kkabba: Did you get it all installed at the dealership? I assume because they have their own race team that they have no issues with warranty?
