Default New GT4 owner,owner manual help

Not new to Rennlist, long time 911 racer/owner but just bought GT4 from Atlanta dealer. Wow! driving this car took me back to racing my early 911, its a car you wear rather than sit in.
Even though my car is certified, it is missing all the glove box books. The dealer is trying to find them but in case they need to be replicated can anyone post a list of books etc. that came with the car. I'd really appreciate it.

Big thank you for the list, I suspected there was a GT4 specific manual.

I've got a few things as PDFs if you want them. I keep them on my phone, which has the added benefit of making them searchable:

- Owner's Manual (complete with some errors, such as dynamic engine mounts being mentioned as only part of Sport Chrono)
- Sheets detailing the services to be performed at the regular and interim maintenance intervals (should replace the maintenance booklet)
- Maintenance items and intervals specific to track use
- GT4 Technik Service Information (learn some interesting stuff about the car)
- GT4 PET catalog (look up part numbers for stuff -- NOT infallible, however, as others have already discovered)

I seem to be missing Driving on a Race Circuit, but it doesn't really tell you much except how to adjust sway bars and the aero. The former is pretty straightforward (except even the manual won't tell you to use blue Loctite on the nuts if you adjust them!) and for the latter, IrishAndy here has provided some useful animated GIFs demonstrating the process anyway. The only bigger item I don't have as a PDF is the PCM documentation, which can be fairly useful.

PM me if you want the PDFs above and I'll be happy to send them.
