Exactly right...and yet I read every single post on that massive thread to feed my thirst for the unicorn car. Then, when the yellow one was revealed in that Evo video with Jethro and AP, the actual car was more than my expectations.

12k miles of smiles and counting...

 

I like the manual everything idea.
I also wonder how much of a factor the sub $100k price was for the success of the gt4. I think sub $100 and turbo 4 but what the hell do I know.

 

Reading this thread is a tease. Deposit on a GT4RS since 2015. #2 spot...never ahead of the game. �Ÿ˘

 

I know I shortened my life expectancy by 3 years going through the rigmarole waiting for the GT4. I don't know if I have the reserve to go through the waiting game again

 

be prepared that GT4RS would be significantly higher in price. 20-25% more would be my bet.
at that price, may will opt used GT3.
i am not saying GT3 is better, but a GT4 is not a GT3
in the porsche world the rear badge commands a v ery very very SERIOUS premium , long hood 911 E is way more than a 911T and 911S is now insanely priced.

lots of gt3 drivers bought GT4 to play with and love it
but a large % of those are moving back to GT3 or alwasy have both.
so when 4's price increase too much, it's will drive away many buyers.

of course that's just my own personal BS

 

i dont know about any GT4RS, but i know im ready for the 718 GT4 when the time comes.

 

For the Porsche purists out there I agree with you. But there are many potential new Porsche customers out there as well who are fearful of buying a new high-strung, rear-engine Porsche out of concern that it may be more car than they can handle. Those folks would be more easily drawn to a GT4RS. Just as the GT4 swept new buyers into the Porsche market so would an RS variant

 

GT4RS may very well likely be a better performer than the .1 GT3. Agree that cachet of 911 carries a real premium. It's not clear how the Cayman models will hold over time.

924GTS are selling at high prices, but that was a limited run.

I had bought the GT4 over a vanilla 911 because it was a more special car and cost about the same. That said, I'd have a hard time spending $130-140k on a Cayman product -- fair or not.

$120k optioned out, $110k base makes sense, but I'm skeptical they'll do that.

 

I know exactly what you mean!!! 😄😩😐😀😤😢🙂�Ÿ¤ž😁�ŸŽ‰

 

The GT4RS is coming. As to the details no one knows for certain. It will certainly be an interesting car.

But - with the 4.0 GT3 with a Manual arriving late this year that will be my next toy. Not because I prefer 911 over a Cayman but because that 4.0 L high revving 500 hp engin will be a beast.

Give me this engine detuned to 450 but still high revving with shorter gearing and i would opt for the GT4RS over the GT3. I think the Cayman is prettier and the platform superior

 

The GT4 RS is a fairy tale.

 

 

Lol!!! Porsche is killing me. Hopefully they get their act together with allocations and dealerships because they are starting to kill the brand...

 

I really don't understand the hype. One UK (!) car magazine releases a vague allegation and other car magazines just copy this ... sorry ... BS. And everybody starts becoming hysterical. Do we have any secured information? Just spreading rumors. Same BS like the 4.2 liter engine in the new GT3.

 

Customer of my dealer has major connections. Dropped his GT4 deposit months ago for the GT4RS. I think he knows it will happen. No word on what it will be.
