Hello Gentlemen

I acquired a JBM GT4 this past weekend. Booked an one-way train ticket to Bridgeport, CT. Met up with the seller, and drove her 300miles back home to DC-metro.

It was quite a fun and pleasant get-to-know-you drive back. The carbon buckets treated me just fine.


Filling her up on Merrit Pkwy


Crossing the GWB


I'm considering adding 911R-style stripes in guards red. But I purposely went with JBM to stay alittle more subdued this time around.

Will be doing an engine oil change, transaxle fluid change, and front Girodisc rotors shortly.

Also eyeing the BBi taller uprights for the rear wing.

I shall update as upgrade(s) get added and hopefully, some future rally and track pics.

Nice!

I'm a bit biased re black..

Also great to see the car being driven.

Congrats on the GT4 I've been looking to upgrade my CGTS to a GT4 but haven't found one as of yet.


I think 911R Style stripes in GR would look awesome but I kind of laughed when you said you were going to try and be a little more subdued- IMHO there's nothing subdued about a GT4

I would have been nervous as hell crossing the GWB and the Cross Bronx in a GTR - those roads are horrible and the people drive like animals.

Good luck and if you do add the stripes please post some pics.

I've been debating about adding the R strips to my black GT4...

Congrats, sharp looking car! 👍

lol

my past colors have been:
yas marina blue
long beach blue
speed yellow

i think JBM will be a "step" down in terms of flash. though bright colors work so well for Porsche GT cars.

for stripes, thanks to the photos you guys have posted, i am considering guards red in matte finish.

Congrats, enjoy in good health!

Congrats- car looks great. Do not add GR 911R stripes. You are driving a GT4 not a 911R. I also think those stripes do not suit a GT4.

Somebody had to say it...

I agree with Jimmy-D. (That could be your mantra. Whenever the urge to stripe her up comes over you, repeat "I agree with Jimmy-D" over and over in a low, somnolent chant until sanity and good taste return! ).

Great looking car. I too took a 200+ mile road trip, to Knoxville in June, to retrieve my GT4, trading in the Carrera I had before. It's a fine way to become one with your new car.

Love the red 12 O Clock stripe on the steering wheel, do you know if this was done custom by previous owner?

Jimmy-D

Just buy Gaffers Racing Tape and and cut and put on. Looks just as good and when you are sick of it take it off

At risk of hijacking the thread, I've had the GT4 for a year and a half and haven't gone with any stripes but some look pretty good.
