Default New GT4 Owner

Just wanted to say hi. I've been mostly on Planet-9 as I previously owned a 2014 981 Cayman S (and before that a 986 Boxster S). Seems like GT4 owners are more active here though. Anyhow just picked up a Carrera White Metallic GT4 spec'd with Black Int w/Guards Red stitching this past Friday. Very excited. I've only done about 50 miles on it so far as it needs a service done (coming Thursday). But wow.. I never quite understood the whole "GT4 is different than the Cayman S/GTS" thing... now I do. Exactly what I've been looking for!

Only one stinky iPhone picture for right now... plan to clean and take some better pictures soon...

Michael

PS: Oh yeah clear side turn lights have been ordered... I also have tinted tails I need to put on...

Welcome aboard! New owner here myself and haven't posted much.. Picked up my Guards Red GT4 with PCCB a few months ago and loving it with every mile. Already put over 3k miles on it before weather got dicey here in the Wash DC area.

Welcome and congrats! It's great to see so many new GT4 owners joining! I'm hoping that many of these barely broken in GT4s are going to enthusiasts that might keep them for a while now that flippers have flipped and the hype has moved on to the next thing.

Welcome! I for one am really liking that people who really want these things are now getting them vs. all these ppl who bought them for ??? and put no miles on them!

Welcome and congratulations. I'm about six week ahead of you and love my car. I'm still in the stage of inventing errands just to drive the GT4.

mcomet, you are obviously a man of refinement and good taste, in view of your selection and purchase of CWM, which we all know is exceedingly classy! Your photos are outstanding. You're giving PistolPete a run for his money! Congrats and welcome...and enjoy your GT4 in safety and good health.

Congrats on the GT4. Did you pick this one up from Walnut Creek Porsche?

Nice pictures btw. Looks like Arbolado Park. Hoping to join the GT4 club within' the next year.

Not from Walnut Creek porsche. This was from a private seller in Palo Alto. Last i checked Stead still had their car and it wasn’t optioned as much as the one I got. Maybe they sold theirs tho.

Park is Clayton Community Park
Thanks!

Congratulations. I'm still looking for mine. Do you mind me asking how much did you paid for the car, and what are the options?
Did you pay over or under the MSRP. Thanks and enjoy beautiful car

Nice pics. Could be diablodude that you met; he recently picked up a Saphire Blue GT4.
