Default New GT4

Just picked up a GT4. I was in GA for the GT3 Smokies event and got a call from Zach McClure of Porsche Atlanta Perimeter. Zach had a well optioned Carmine Red with 189 miles. PAP was about a half hour drive from where I was staying so I drove down in the GT3 and looked at the car. I liked what I saw, traded the GT3 and drove back to the hotel.

Spent the weekend driving the back roads and having a ball with the car.

Congrats, looks awesome. How does it compare to your GT3, which model GT3 did you have?

That is my build- I hope some one did not steal it off the boat. Heck - some one as nuts as me with all those options

Congrats Buddy. How do you love the color?? Car looks great

Jimmy, when I looked at the car I asked Zach if the PO had missed any boxes on the order. It is pretty well optioned out. It also has full front clear bra with A pillars, 6" roof band, rear quarters, and the intakes are custom wrapped. The winshield has clear plex and I couldn't tell. With CPO till 11/21 it was hard to pass. Carmine is a great color. And there is no DLC.

Absolutely love carmine red. Such a dynamic colour and being slightly darker means it isn't overexposed when in daylight. Beautiful car.

Haha love the impulse buy! Sounds like how most people pick up a pack of gum by the checkout counter. Well played sir.

Sounds like an offer too good to pass up. I wonder why the original owner after doing all that took it around the block, it seems, and gave it back

Goes to show there are cars out there
