Yup, I'd sign the dotted line, with a manual, if it wasn't a 60k premium on the GT4. That being said, I appreciate the slightly smaller dimensions and lower weight of the GT4, it's probably more fun on a backroad and just as much fun, maybe more, dancing with on corner entry and pushing mid-corner. I'll give corner exit to the GT3 though.

Thanks to RL all week I've been dreaming about a solid lifter 9k rpm 4L 500hp flat six and debating which of my organs I could sell to get one. Then I took the car out last night at 1am before the snow came and not once did I think to myself, man, I wish I had another 100hp. I'm sure it's different in other places but in the northeast there's just not that many opportunities to use all that power.

Screw the power mods, does anyone have a way to convert the electric steering to an old fashioned hydraulic set-up? I don't care if it costs 5-10hp

^GT4 is an amazing car. But I am going to jump back in to a GT3 because I traded my 991 GT3 for a GT4 because i wanted a Manual and was buying time hoping the .2 GT3 would come with the Manual. Is it worth the additional $60,000??? probably not if you just street drive like myself but figured what the heck. I would love to keep both because i still think the GT4 is going to go down in Porsche history as one of the greatest. Values on the GT4 will do just fine because of the $$$ gap

You'll be back Jimmy when the cover comes off that GT4 RS!

You guys are all lucky cars don't have feelings. All this back and forth didn't work for me with relationships

I have 2 Xs. Trust me trading cars is a lot cheaper

Perhaps a GT4 RS will be required to compete with the mid-engine Corvette and Ford GT. Detroit engineers are creating awesome photo-types. If it were"t for the 'bean counters," we would all have GT 40's.

Wouldn't a gt4 rs be pdk only based on RS philosophy of delivering fastest track times?

Jimmy-D

Only if it has a Manual option

Looks more and more likely that a 4.0 'GT4' is in the works. I don't think Porsche will call it an RS rather will use a new/different brand for the top road going 718/Cayman.

I still can't imagine anything other than a 4 cylinder in a "718". In a way the car under the tarp is stealing some thunder from the GT3. My theory is Porsche feels that they need to hype up whatever that car is. And a 4 cylinder GT car would probably need some extra hype...

Either way, what is the cleaning lady saying about announcement date for the tarp car?

Eh, doubtful. GT4RS would be 4.0. What the regular GT4 would get is up for debate, but doubtful it would be a 4.0.

Why? Just because someone posted a "smoke signal" of a 911R doing 60 mph. Still waiting on secondary confirmation.

P.S.
IIRC that someone also said that smoke signal would be posted regardless.

CAlexio

i did, my lawyer told me to be as confusing as possible.

but joking aside, my advice would definitely be to chat with some connected people at the shows (this week's Werks Reunion by the way was full of higher up PCNA people just milling around acting friendly) and get your secondary, and tertiary confirmations for yourself, I'm serious. I'm by no means an insider.. i just talk to one on a regular basis for other reasons and porsche convo comes up, and I also enjoy the mild detective work of trying to figure out what's coming while attending shows and events... All i can say, is I don't post anything without distinguishing whether it's supposition on my part, or if I know it to be true, I make sure I note that. My credibility is important to me as I have many real friends on this forum, and I get no joy from making **** up. I just do my very best to try to get real info before I go blowing smoke all over the place.

This weekend we are taking some special machinery to the track, focus will be on running a gt4 clubsport vs a 918 spyder (as well as a few others).. some local ATL PCNA people may be present, one in particular... ill see if a smoke signal is warranted again.

BryanCO

I'm saying the 'GT4 RS' gets the 4.0 but isn't called an RS.

Definitely speculation but fair amount of smoke on the 991 GT3/RS/R fourm...
