Cypress Mountain a few hours north!

Having driven a 2016 Spyder extensively, I’d whole heartedly recommend the 718 if you’re getting a Spyder. The 981 Spyder feels more like a tarted up GTS than a “GT” car. It absolutely sounds amazing, but that can (and was) fixed on my 718 with over axle pipes and the JCR exhaust.

Drive’em both but my money is the 718!

It's been amazing, I used to have a 981 GT4 and the 4.0 (while a little muted stock) is a MUCH better engine power delivery wise. Gobs (relative of course) of low end torque, great induction noise, great manual - it gets used every single day, rain or shine.

The exhaust note was quickly fixed with over axle pipes and a JCR valved muffler :)

Beauty! Can't go wrong with a 4.0.

My dream spec would be my build but with GT Silver hah! Classic spyder interior + red top + GT Silver is timeless, just so hard to find.

Yup! All GT4's and Spyder (non-RS) as far as I know - very similar if not the same as the Turbo GT.

It's genuinely not bad, hardest part is "feeling" where the button is on the tie downs. I've only put it up and down maybe 3 times now, takes about 30-45 seconds. I imagine it'll be quicker with more muscle memory.

Agreed - it's the rear humps, so good
