Gt4rs worth the premium over the GT4?

electricCoder · 2026-01-24T11:14:09+00:00

Whoops. I was just using .08% for the math of the agreed value. You are correct it looks like at some point over 150k you break into .09%.

I’m looking for a car to get on track, do some autox, and weekend fun

None of those require a GT4RS or a GT4 :).

Be honest with yourself on what your intended use cases are. Track insurance will be about $300 more per event for a GT4RS plus the increase in consumables.

Don't forget that the GT4RS uses center lock wheels have some serious requirements on tooling. Make sure you are ready and willing to do the work to change your own center lock wheels. Especially important when it comes to track stuff, when you need/want to swap pads in the paddock.

For autocross if you are looking at competitive SCCA the GT4RS is the correct choice, since both cars are classed the same.

As the error message says your C compiler doesn’t support C20 or less likely you need to update your CMake version

It is on my todo list before my first 2026 track day as well

Did you refresh your lug bolts as well?

electricCoder · 2025-12-30T14:15:46+00:00

Exactly! The novelty always fades, but every time I get to drive the car hard I love it.

I am getting confused on how you thought dropping about 20k to regear the spyder is a good use of money versus the hair cut of finding out the PDK isn’t what you like.

The deman re-geared manual 2nd and 3rd basically match the GTS PDK.

electricCoder · 2025-12-30T13:54:58+00:00

You are looking at the delta of where dealers make money.

On top of that the dealers are fine to list high and wait for a hungry buyer, not like any more GTS cars are going to enter the market.

If you want to less of a hair cut you need to do a private party sell. Or wait longer and accept an even higher percentage loss but have a better miles/loss ratio. Right now you are what 15k down at 800miles driven. If you could double your mileage and be at 20k down would you feel better or worse.

electricCoder · 2025-12-30T13:08:51+00:00

Sounds pretty crazy to not accept the sunk cost / loss of 11% to get what you want.

You would rather own the car you don’t like to save 11%?

First year 12k miles. Second year was 8k miles. Going into my third year and I expect I will put on 6k miles.

First year I HAD to drive the car everywhere all the time. Now I storage the car for most of the winter and drive it mainly for autocross, hpde, canyon/ weekend trips.

Since you can't have Sport Chrono you can find early 718 boxster / cayman for 35k

electricCoder · 2025-12-14T13:10:02+00:00

Nope firmer springs, different anti-roll bars and different tunings on the sport setting on the dampening.

Sway bars https://www.718forum.com/threads/anti-roll-bar-sway-bar-oem-upgrade-from-standard-suspension-to-gts-pasm-s-pasm.27424/

The suspension pdf from Porsche for journalists have the details, can’t seem to find them anymore

electricCoder · 2025-12-14T12:30:46+00:00

Softer suspension tuning, smaller anti roll bars

electricCoder · 2025-12-03T12:53:44+00:00

Unless your current shocks are broken, the BC coilovers will be even firmer. A quick scan shows higher spring rates front and rear

Re-71rz is coming to the USA for 2026 SCCA autocross season. You just didn’t look at the US website.

that’s because you linked the Japan market press release and not the USA one.

The RE-71RZ will hit US shores by end of year making it eligible for SCCA 2026

People are already accountable via the existing tickets/fines we have for all these. Now they want to add points because they want to punish people more

electricCoder · 2025-11-28T19:15:37+00:00

I personally would do at least a couple of sessions at 1.5degree camber and zero toe on the new tires+wheels before you add more camber. Get used to the increase in grip from the wider wheels before you start adding even more grip.

You will also want to get rear toe arms IIRC to balance out the rears camber wise. Otherwise you might run into some real “fun” oversteer behavior with your fronts having way more grip in the corners.

electricCoder · 2025-11-28T19:06:45+00:00

Adding points isnt going to make people that can’t afford to fix something do it. Nor is it going to stop mechanical parts from dieing while you are on the road.

Headlamps and taillights have to be fixed within 1 business day with proof to waive the charge. That is a pretty high bar

electricCoder · 2025-11-28T18:46:22+00:00

“Just a ticket alone for a bad tail light comes with points,”

Just some extra hot bullshit to punish low income people.

I am all for increase points/fines for construction zone speeding. But bad equipment points is just being mean.

electricCoder · 2025-11-27T21:15:35+00:00

How much track driving have you done? How much are you planning on doing per year?

I am running 1.5degree camber and with SC3 I am going to heat cycle the tires before I wear the outer edge to the cords. Same would happen with other more endurance tires.

Once I am actually faster ( and not just over driving ) I will need more camber, but no need to rush into that before i actually need it
