Oh, I thought sports coupe had 4 seats. My bad.

I compare gt350 with m3/m4 and other 4 seaters. Really can't find any competition at the moment. Maybe 997gts. How much are they going for at the moment?

What you get for 57k is a flat plane crank sports coupe that is extremely good looking, highly entertaining to drive, and a track weapon. There is no coupe for under 100k that offers this - not even close.

I got a close look at a red GT4 at the Porsche Armada last weekend, very nice car but it should be closer to 65k. I would never pay 100k for a Cayman.

Sorry but after getting a personal tour of a nice fellow's Z06 at the track and listening to him rant about what a POS it is (both interior and components) and then watching him leave at 1PM because it was in limp mode (in winter). I'm just not impressed - and it's sort of fallen off the map in many regards - whereas the GT350 keeps winning every automotive award possible.

997 GTS is a fantastic car and can be had at a low of 65k and a high of 80k depending on location/condition etc.

Any track events coming up? Best place to catch one - or even the Shelby Track Tour which I believe is still in progress...

Anyone else having a dilemma where you want a/c but you don't want the rest of the items in the electronics pack?

I had both a GT350 and GT4 at the same time. I just sold my GT350, the GT4 is a keeper. While the engine is great in the GT350, the mustang is a big car. Also, at the end of the day the mustang is a rental car with a special engine in it. I guess you really dont know how special the Porsche GT cars are until you compare them to the best Mustangs, Corvettes, etc.

You may have gotten a close look at the GT4, but it's obvious you didn't get to drive it.

I'm going to respectfully disagree with this. Saying a GT4 is a regular Cayman is like saying the GT350 is a regular Mustang GT. The GT4 and the GT350 are very different cars than the base cars they originate from.

Fair enough, i'll hold my assessment until I actually drive one. Any volunteers?

Thank god they finally offer it with both!
I stand corrected. I had an allocation at MSRP or so I thought. I thought my order was submitted but I was actually just a place holder while more build requests poured in last week. With one allocation they now adjusted ADM to $20k. Oh well, I guess I will stick to 911's.

Sorry man, i'll keep my eye out and PM you if I come across MSRP - 5k ADM (which you could likely negotiate).
