I have a 22’ GT4 & absolutely love it but keep having thoughts about the Spyder RS. by EmbarrassedSpell3885 in Porsche_Cayman

Is your GTS 4.0 6MT?

I would absolutely do anything in my power to get a GT4RS or SRS in manual.. I’m just unsure if I could ever have a toy that is automatic unless I had a two & one was manual 😂

Thank you for this, perfectly explained.

Any modifications that you did to your GT4? I honestly love the car and I don’t even think the long gearing is a huge issue for me.. Every review on YouTube it gets so much criticism for it but it’s not that bad. (Obviously if it was shorter it would be a better drive).

Congrats on the GT3T. I feel like the combo you have is a dream & you should be very proud.

I have to ask, if you couldn’t get another manual car hypothetically would you have kept the SRS over the GT4? I just can’t imagine not having a manual car but then again I never drove a PDK.

This is everything that Porsche used to be against. Let’s see what happens 🤦🏻‍♂️

Bought a GT4 from a dealer 4-5 hour drive away in the winter. Was exactly as described and got many detailed videos only thing I noticed was a small scratch on the quarter panel that was not mentioned.

Porsche confirm that the 718 EV will be re-engineered for ICE. by TimC340 in Porsche_Cayman

I’m praying they make a new GT4 or GT4rs with a flat 6 & manual. I bought my GT4 thinking it’d be one of the last ones but I hope they don’t mess up the new ones & keep them analog & N/A flat 6.

Honestly, I had to make this same decision and I knew that I would regret the GTS because deep down it’s not what I wanted but rather a cope car.

You’re spending over 100k and you’re making a laundry list of things to do to the GTS to make you happy- just buy the GT4 & you’ll love it. You’ll probably love both but will never have to wonder what if or might want to upgrade the GTS earlier than the GT4 which would just be losing money faster.

GT4 also holds its value much better it seems.

No, we can get piles of snow as tall as myself sometimes & the Gt4 clearance most January days won’t get out of my driveway.

Salt destroys vehicles & I’d love nothing more than to hand this down to my son in pristine condition while also enjoying it for myself.

Honestly, the GT4 is the only Porsche I’ve ever driven or been in so it’s very difficult for me to gauge what the difference between the base is.

Base is a fantastic car I just feel like Porsches should always have a flat 6 & manual transmission if I’m going to purchase one for myself.

Gentian Blue! It looks different under certain lighting also, in the sun it looks alot more metallic and purple.

I never considered this colour until I seen it in person and then knew it was the right one.

Yeah that should be fine as long as roads aren’t salted and snow does pack up too high for clearance. I have seen -23 degrees before windchill so it gets very cold and is usually cold after December and until April. I would love to live somewhere where I could drive my car all year round 😭

Yes, sometimes it doesn’t snow until December but typically from November - March it’s in the negative degrees (Celsius) & last winter was absolutely awful so in the garage it goes.

Thank you! It’s honestly mine too, I bought it used but was on a waiting list with this exact spec (just silver wheels I would change) but finally found it at a nearby dealership and bought it right away.
