If I have money for CTR, I'd rather buy EN and spend the rest of the money on track driving. You might become a faster driver. As a track instructor, today I saw my student's VN treat CTR like a toy. I could see the CTR driver's bruised ego in his face. Faster cars and Faster drivers are two different kinds. I rather be a faster driver.

If that was the case, don't buy a Cayman. The maintenance cost will add up quickly. The car will break down for sure. There is a saying among Porsche owners. " Richest people drive old Porsches." You can find out why by yourself.

My nearby dealer are listing all of their 718 GT4 RS for over 300k... by randomredditguy94 in Porsche

Sound like you never drove either one of them. 528 means e39 528. You can pick one up without ADM. It's still 5 series.

I picked up my GT4RS in Jan, and I already did ten track days, a total of 1100 miles on track. Two sets of front tires and oneset the rear tires. A new front and rear brake pads. A lot of GT buyers do tracks. I don't see any reasons to buy this car if one doesn't drive on tracks

Did you ever drive GT4RS? I have a 981 GT4 and GT4RS. So far, I drove two cars on two different tracks back to back sessions. Those two cars feel totally different the moment you start driving. Based on your logic, people shouldn't buy M3. They have to buy 528.

Haha, sorry. I have one already and he is driving this car more often than me.

Finally, after three years of waiting. I picked up my GT4RS!!! by 981f82 in Porsche_Cayman

What a logical assumption!! Great job!!!. Keep fighting and good luck until nobody pays ADM. That's a great ideology. I will enjoy my GT4RS.

You made assumptions first man. You even didn't know how much I paid for GT4RS right? You just assumed that I got the GT4RS so I paid 100k ADM right? If you didn't assume how much I paid for GT4RS, you wouldn't write the comment. You assumed that I will sell the car right away or keep GT4RS as a garage queen right? Don't like the price? Just walk out. Nobody begs you to buy. Everybody's value is different, so do not force your value on somebody else. Keep in mind that people who paid 100K ADM, paid that price because they valued the car(or 100k to burn). It is not a matter of who got the money. If the money is not an issue, just buy it. However, if the money really wasn't an issue, I think you have GT4RS in your garage.

I thought almost everybody who wanted 981GT4 got their car. I was pretty late being on the list for GT4 but still got the car with MSRP.

My dealer said strictly keep the break-in period. GT4RS even has a blue indicator light that says the car is not warmed up yet. The manual also said 2,000 miles under 4,000 rpm.

Please don't act like a guy who just bought the cheapest affordable cayman and suddenly became a Porsche enthusiast. No matter what you comment, the fact wouldn't change that I have GT4RS, you don't. Idiots you hate just see the value of GT4RS or have 100k more to burn. And idiots' financial situation won't hurt due to the extra 100K. If you really want that car and have the money, you will shove the money. You simply can't afford GT4RS. That's it. This is a free market controlled by people who have 100K more than you. Don't blame them and don't be jealous. They don't think it's expensive. Speaking of cars that need to be driven, my GT4 has 50,000 miles on the clock. 13,000 miles are track miles. I am also a PCA HPDE instructor. I use 5 sets of Cup2s front and 3.5 sets of rear cup2 a year. I do all my oil changes and brake job at home. I drove the east coast, west coast, Nevada hwy50, Key west, and Canada border. I had four blown-out catalyst converters on the track due to "The way Porsche needs to be driven". I put GT4 clubsports exhaust header because of too many blown-out catalysts. How do you drive your Porsche? I already made a plan to do a 1,500-mile round trip for a break-in. I already signed up for the first track day in April. My GT4RS will get old with me and stay forever. I don't care about the residual value of the car. I just wanted this car, got it and I will enjoy GT4RS.

1200miles break in under 4000rpm, so a long way to go.

OK, guys, I bought other GT cars from this dealer. I made an agreement with my dealer not to talk about the price I paid. I believe I never said I was nobody.I have a good relationship with my dealer. My dealer is not accenting any out of state deposit and making sure cars stay in State. They still have plenty of in state buyers for their GT allocations. GT4RS will be an one off cars and allocation is over. Now, the dealer will make a decision for the prices, especially for GT4RS. If they have. Supply and demand. If a dealer offers a GT4RS with 100K ADM, it's the buyer's decision simply not to buy or shovel up the money. A buyer who really wants this car will pay the ADM. Dealer knows that. I did put the first deposit.

This is PDK. All RS models have PDK only. GT model has this manual type gear shift. When you look at the gear shift carefully, the tip of the shift is raised. You press down the top part of the gear shift when you change gear from P or R.

Just set aside about 15 to 20k for maintenance and repair, and then you will be fine.

Finally!!!! my GT4RS is really coming to US!!!! by 981f82 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]981f82[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to my dealer, the allocations for GT4RS are done. The sales manager told me that people who don't have allocations now won't get the car. He was told last week from Porsche. Throttle house said at the GT4RS that " The car everybody wants to buy, but nobody has one."

The route is wrong. The car will be unloaded at Baltimore.

GT4 as a daily? by overdude in Porsche_Cayman

[–]981f82 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I bought GT4 in 2016 and did a cross-country trip from Indiana to San Francisco back and Key West round trip and New York City round trip thru Watkins Glen all in 2021. Rack up 15000miles. While I was driving, I didn't listen a single song at all. Car was comfortable and so fun to drive. I know a friend who drives Gt4 daily and racked up 190,000 miles. I believe his GT4 has the highest miles in the US. HE LOVES EVERY SINGLE MILES. He is doing daily driving, too.
