Just collected my GT4 today and, having driven 170 miles already, to say I'm thrilled is an understatement. An excellent experience with the supplying OPC makes all the difference. In fact, I already prefer the GT4 to the 991 GT3 - fantastic gearbox. I was unsure about having the inside colour coded but I'm glad I did - it looks great!

Congrats S , enjoy

Many thanks! I'm already enjoying the experience better than my last purchase. It's a great feeling when you're looking for any excuse just to jump into the car and take it for a spin.

Like it. Mine will have White interior trim.

Thanks - I've never ordered it before but I think it works really well.

Interior looks mega.

Thank you! It wasn't available with PTS so it helped make the decision not to order Voodoo Blue a little easier.

Looks fantastic enjoy!

Many thanks ... I've had the car fewer than 24 hours and already need to fill it up. I think my expected mileage is about to go through the roof! This car is a lot of fun

Looks great. Wonder how easy to paint after delivery as got me thinking !!

[sJs]

Looks good.
Must try and get together for a catch up. Been a while since uni but clearly we both have a love of cars still!
Need to get some more miles on mine - can't wait til it's run in.

Which opc by the way - edin?

Is the same achievable for having a set wrapped in carbon fibre as it will be no different than the fake stuff Porsche charge £1k for?!?!

That's a cracking idea - I fancy doing the PCM surround to match my yellow trim but suspect buttons and rotary dials may be difficult to deal with, anyone had any experience of this?

[Fatsterjack]

Picked mine up tonight. Signs are very encouraging from first 30 miles or so! Lots to like about this car. Michelins fitted to this one.

Does the exhaust button actually do anything? I can't tell the dirfference with mine on or off.

I had the same issue in my 991 GT3 - fitted a Sharkwerks Bypass - it was then Epic ! No issues with the RS , definitely a difference on and off - sounds awesome either way . I guess anything will sound quiet next to the Lambo

Noticeable difference when playing with mine on the drive home tonight. I have heard others say that they can't hear much difference between the two settings though.

I had the same thoughts with my 997 Gt3 and the sports button a few years back.

Not at low revs, not like the 987.2 cars where you press it and you hear the change.
It's a very small change on the gt4 ESP at sub 4K revs.

Yes, mine is very noticeable with the exhaust button pressed, pops and bangs. Need your window open slightly to hear the full impact though.

I fitted a Sharkwerks bypass to my 997.2 GT3 in conjunction with this PSE Manual Control. It remotely opens or closes the valves and, at €150, it's a bargain.

Sone , I'd get it checked by the OPC - lots of talk on the 991 GT3 that "flaps" (not sure what the right term is - sorry) were sticking - I took mine in and they said it was fine , but I always thought there was something wrong with it as It sounded identical to me - I gave up and added a SWBP - there was also loads of forum talk about (both ways) adding this invalidating the warranty , I ignored it - but I thought I should point this out just in case it was correct

Thanks, wonder how easy it is to remove the trim; would certainly be cheaper than the optional extras price! Though worth the hassle, hmmm, not so sure. Hopefully someone will have done this soon and can offer feedback.

Mine is also very noticeable. I was a little worried when picking it up as i had seen that people on this forum had noted that they didn't notice any difference. In my car as soon as you press the button, even at low rpm, you notice a deeper rumble when accelerating. In fact a couple of passengers thought that the sound was been enhanced by the speakers as it is that noticeable!

[PorscheGT4]

hydro dip comes off quite easy and will not match the seats

the fake carbon at least does match the seats so looks great imo.

it is what it is, not a fan of the painted look on the 981 either sort of cheapens the 981 cabin, on the 987.2 it fitted in quite well on the R and Spyder, less so on the GT4 imo.

thank goodness for choices and options ;-)
