Default I haven't properly introduced my new (to me) GT4





These are the iPhone pics from the day I picked it up. I've taken it to Harbison Canyon in San Diego and I'm looking for other fun and interesting drives. I will eventually get around to autocrossing, I hope. Been a little busy but I'm looking forward to more opportunities to have fun in this car.

Congratulations. I haven't seen that color on a GT4 that I recall and it looks great!

It's dark blue metallic. There's a spreadsheet floating around that says there were 39 in that color delivered to North America. Originally, I wanted sapphire and had no clue about the relatively rarity of the dark blue in the GT4. When I saw this, I was sold.

Its a great combo with the black and PCCB. Yellow deviated stitching in side to seal the deal?

A dash of yellow goes great with dark blue but no, the stitching is platinum.

Congrats! That's a great color. They cancelled it as an option early in the build series so it is rare but looks so good.

That's the color I wanted, but couldn't get in the second round of allocations! It looks great. It also looks like you have LWBs; I believe from the database that there are very few of the DBMs which have buckets. Congrats and enjoy that gorgeous GT4!

I have the Sapphire, but like yours better.

Whoa, that's a gorgeous blue coupled with the PCCB and black wheels. Come up to the LA area and do some track days, skip Autocrossing. Join us at the Speed Ventures or Speed District events

Thanks to everybody! It has already been well worth it. I was on the fence about the timing of a purchase due to the new 718 version but decided to follow the life is short advice of so many. Always take good advice.
