Re: Cayman GT4
I said it before and I say it again: This is not a car for colors like black or brown or even slate grey. It needs flashy colors...or white.

Re: Cayman GT4
Thanks guys. The car is as what others have said, so no real surprise there for me. However, the ride is just extraordinary for a car that handles this well! It makes my old -20mm 981S feel like a race car. This is M3 like territory, yet with Cup tyres. Really can't complain! Oh and the gear shifts. The gear shift. How sweet is that! Snick snick and not clunky like my GT3.

Agree about both gearboxes...

Re: Cayman GT4
Went for our first Sunday fast drive with a GT4 (clubsport) yesterday. First Ive seen in the flesh. 3 x 991 GT3 + 981 GT4. The car was white.Side by side its basically the same length as a 991 GT3 (maybe 5cm shorter). It is noticeable narrower. The side profile is the best IMO.

It will be interesting after a while of owner ship which ( once you have received yours ) which between the GT3 and GT4 you prefer

Re: Cayman GT4
Yes I agree. Right now purely on asthetics my preference is certainly the GT3.
My issue is for the GT4 to arrive something must g. My GT3 which I use mostly on teh track or my 993 RS spec which I use mostly fr fast rad, targa and occassional track these days.
To be perfectly honest Im loving my GT3 and not prepared to give my 16 year love affair with my 993 up right now! I knw. Life could be worse etc...

Re: Cayman GT4
d997h:Saw a guy on youtube recently having modified his GT4 with a sport exhaust from Akrapovic - any thoughts on that ?
They make very nice products, but the price is high and the stock exhaust is quite nice. Personally, if I had a limited budget for mods, I would try to choose something that materially improves performance. But an exhaust can always be removed and sold later if you wish and Akra has a great reputation (easy to sell used I would think).

Re: Cayman GT4
Shmee150 has added a full IPE Innotech Performance Exhaust system, including headers, 200-cell high flow cats and Valvetronic muffler.
His youtube review of it is worth a watch if you are interesting in changing from the stock exhaust : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQqmymJQshc

Though supposedly the IPE system has been plagued with some quality issues and some people removed them very quickly (don't know the details). I also would be rather dubious of any power gains from just an exhaust (though almost every manufacturer makes such claims), if it does not come with intake and tuning mods too.
Personally, the whole engine (and its electronics) is something I wouldn't mess with while in the warranty period.
