Default New GT4 owner!

Hi team, my name is Ray and I am a new GT4 owner! I picked up the car about a month ago after selling my Toyota Supra. Some of my other cars are a e30 M3, a LS400 with a 2jzgte(daily) a k4 GSXR and the wifes driver/family hauler- a GLK250 bluetec. I was really in the market for a 991.2 carerra but it was very hard to find a manual with the options I wanted in the CPO market. I came across this beauty that was local to me at a Mercedes dealership and went to check it out. Once I drove it, I fell in love and a deal was made for well under MSRP (I really dont think they know what they had). The car is loaded with the exception of LWB's-but other than that it has all I would want plus more. The one option that was checked that I was not as keen on was the PCCB's due to the high cost to replace, however I wont be tracking the car that often so they should last me quite a while. I am hoping there will be more economical carbon replacements by the time I am ready for that. I still wish there was a backseat for my toddler but maybe one day I will trade in for a 991.2 carerra t (depending on how the 718 gt4 impacts values). For now, I will enjoy the car more and try to get a track day in . The car currently has the following mods:
ERP toe links front and rear
K&N filters

The day we struck a deal!

Full front Xpel paint protection as well as rockers, rear bumper spats and door handles
Window tint
Lloyds mats in black and yellow

Mods to come:
Already have: Renndecals wing decals, Cayman R door decals and rear "Porche" decal for wing
Wishlist: Headers, Cobb with custom tune and IPD intake/throttle body upgrade (is the IPD upgrade worth it?) New pilot sport cup 2's

Congratulation on the new ride! Now you need to get it out to the track where you can really enjoy what it was made for

Looking forward to it-Sebring is about 1.5 hours from me, will try to make it happen!

What are your thoughts on the IPD plenum and the 82mm throttle body? Is it worth it or should I just stick with headers and a tune?

I have the PCCB's and to tell you the truth I really like the fact that there is NO BRAKE DUST!

Just lowered a bit and a track spec alignment. The previous owner had a set of Caragraphic headers with 200 cell cats that he took off before trading the car in.
