I fitted the C4S bumper lip to the 996TT and it marginally helped. Must sell the old original one.

It must be something to do with the overhang on those cars. The 964s never hit and neither does the R

I'm going the opposite direction; putting an aero style replica on from eBay, and keeping one spare for the inevitable sell at some point.

The 996 Turbo lip seems to be one of the worst for catching, nearly every one I've seen that gets driven looks battered to death!

A few of our cars should look new again very soon...

This seller is a Muppet.

It was for sale for $44K a few days ago, now $47K?

Neat story from my mate Seb from Adelaide. This was from when he picked up his GT3 four months ago. He was in Auckland last month so I picked him up in my GT3 and we went cruising, visited Deano @ CCS (he saw his first real 959), had coffee @ St Heliers and then I dropped him to the airport. Top Dude, has a G63AMG and a 991 GT3RS on order. Total petrol head...

Still not much more than half of what I dropped on the R or 2x a glass out respray

Are you looking to buy or just day dreaming about being able to go on a dougie B road run?

Macca

this was from a Euro board I frequent thought may be of interest to you :

Hey guys, for those in Switzerland interested in a GT4 surrogate have a look below. Saw it at the P Dealer close to me today, looks as new from the outside. PDK and a nice colour and half the price of any other car doing 1'12'4 on Hockenheim ;-)) indecision

btw: I read somewhere that according to P only 1198 of these were made, that' even less than the spyder.

very nice looking Martini stripes. Always thought white was a bit plain but that gives some oomph to the visual. gt4? maybe without the martini words?

Macca

I have over 400 different 991 GT3 on photofile Graeme and at last count nearly 70 of the have decals on them (many have the MArtini strips - on red, black, white etc). Ive attached just a small sample. Unfortunately I have none on Racing Yellow for you! Hopefully some ideas here for your GT4

2011 R? Can't tell. I'll be in touch later today Macca. Just landed and need to do some work. Have to love the red eye flight.

Macca

No dramas John. We are off to a Jazz concert on the beach we have bought tickets to - probably heading off in a few hours to get dinner first but will have my iphone with me....

John McM

Almost exactly the same price as the UK ones. The market may not move as predicted. I wonder how many GT4 buyers are R owners? Maybe it's more logical for more used GT3 owners to sell to collectors and pick up a new car for a push on price? That leaves R owners with a big choice.

Macca

Probably too early to tell John on all counts. The facelift 981 with turbo 2.0 will likely be as quick in a straight line as the GT4 when it breaks ground in 2014 partially aided by PDK. It won't handle as well or be as quick on track however. The game moves on. The GT4 may end us an abnormally. The lack of PDK suggests they were not willing for it to contend the 991S on Ring times. It's almost a shame it doesn't have the PDK-S from the GT3 though with the 7 low stacked gears but then it would be faster than the 991 GTS just launched and imagine the commotion. I think it's all about packaging and positioning....

They say the new Fezza F488 will have 670bhp and be faster than the outgoing Speciale around the Ferrari test track! It comes out September....
