Did it ?

Thought they were fixed units just stiffer than 996gt3 ones.

You guys knew I was talking shocks don't back pedal !

You don't have passive arms lol

If some one states passive adjustable , you take it they are talking shocks.
Not adjustable control arms !

Ok, it looks jolly nice in the press shots !

3.8 lump though, 385hp, no mention weight savings, best leave rest for tomorrow.

I'm out of the list for a GT4. Gone for a 964 instead as a daily. I have a feeling that it may suit my needs more.

Never the less, I am looking forward to the spec of the new GT4 and am hopful that it turns out to be something truly special.

To those of you who have a build slot. Good luck guys!

From your incorrect statement of "passive adjustable suspension" not "adjustable suspension" :-)

Let's move on now I know what you ment as you will fight over this for 7 pages. :-)

It did look like you were after passive adjustable shocks in that statement.

Well that's pretty cheap then. They'll sell loads of them unless it's a limited edition.

Makes me wonder how bespoke it really will be... hope it's not a GTS with a 3.8L engine and some bigger wheels/brakes and a bodykit. Although writing that I have to admit... even that would be decent value. smile

I speced up a GTS at £73k when I did it without being mental a few buyers here have bought >£70k GTS Caymans.
