I think the fact Porsche built this car for enthusiasts and for their own brand kind of speaks to what it is and I love the fact that Porsche does that with many different models.
I owned the most anemic and least sexy boxster ever made and it's the only car I've ever owned that I miss for it's pure sensuality. My father passed it to me and it rode HARD, shifted like crap, and had next to no power - but damn if I didn't simply love looking at that dark blue exterior and sitting in it. Point behind sharing that is if I didn't have 2 young boys, I'd go with a Cayman/Boxster. But with 2 young kiddos who would enjoy the hell out of driving in such a car, it's 911 or nothing. |

If you knew who he is, tell him the young asian couple with the SO Comp M3 say hi to him.

Someone I know just picked one up yesterday, same color, and I have to say, it looks even better in person. I just couldn't find any angle where I would change even the slightest thing on this car. Just stunning looking in my opinion.

It's pretty close, and speaking from a tracking perspective (have tracked with a few), I don't feel they are quite fast enough on long straits. They are extremely fast in corners and the ultimate momentum cars. I feel like the combination of a momentum car with enough power to hang with the big boys will be an unbeatable combo and the best of all worlds, and frankly probably will outshine the GT3, which is more of a power vs a momentum car. Been looking at various mods from German tuners, and +25-30 bhp is achievable with tuning, intake, and exhaust.

It's a really beautiful car but its not Gods chariot. The gearing is way too long and it needs PDK. The plus side is resale. If you can get one you're not going to lose money.

Maybe, but really, what is ?
If you dissect hard enough, you'll find some faults in almost anything out there. Looks stunning (subjective, I know), handles great, sounds great, great fit and finish and holds the value well. What's not to like here? |

I owned one for four months before dumping it in favor of a GT3. The GT4 is beautiful but lacks the oomph of its big brother.

I get what you're trying to say, no disagreement, but to me GT4 is a beautifully built car. There's always "better" out there somewhere. |
