Serious Issues With GT4!!
Discussion
I've just got back from 4 days with the GT4 and GTS in the far North West of Scotland.
The car under steered everywhere and the hearing made it barely drivable! As for the boring GT Silver.. Well that was a huge letdown as well as it clashed horribly with the scenery. The whole car is a sham and was a dire letdown. I can't believe I wasted my money on it....
Obviously that is all complete s
te. Had an absolutely mega mega time up there and the car was just massively impressive. Everyone who rode in it or followed it (or tried to) commented on just how well it went down the road. The roads up in the far north west can be very challenging, and even alarming in places. The GT4 was mighty though. The grip levels it was generating were unreal. In fact we were having to manage tyre pressures as we would on track as we were getting that much heat in them.
The car is completely stock. And still can't see the need to change anything on it.
Well, I would actually like to put the lump out of the GTS in it. Not just because it feels like a cleaner-revving, freer engine. But because the the GT4 was doing a third of a tank to every quarter tank in the GTS.... Very strange...
Anyway. Thread's worth nought without some pics...
And Colin, great to meet you. See you soon.

Amazingly the GT4 didn't ground once! I was following both a 997.1 GT3RS and a 997.2 GT3 and I could hear and see them constantly grounding the splitter.
Edit: correction. The splitter did get caught once. At Glenshee (we went up via the Old Military road) ski station someone parked up and forgot to put on the stupid electronic handbrake. It rolled forward into the curb...

Great pictures of both the car and Skye.....magical place!
GT4 is built for these roads. Agree no issue with ground clearance haven t grounded mine once whereas GT3 very prone despite lift.
Very happy with my stock geo too for road use.
you got 30 mpg in Wales I got 12 lol, you are not going to see geo limits lolGT4 is built for these roads. Agree no issue with ground clearance haven t grounded mine once whereas GT3 very prone despite lift.

I still think the restriction in the 4 is causing the poor mpg , it would be interesting to hear from someone who has done the 991s throttle body and remap!

NC500? Did you do the bealach na bá over to Applecross, any issue on the hairpins? I'm heading up that way in the GT4 in a couple of weeks, can't wait Edit: correction.

. Having said all that, I've been over there in the 996 GT3. I can't comment on the splitter cleavage though as it got ripped off in Loch Garry. About 100 miles before we got to Applecross Pass....
But no grounding issues on any other hairpins of dips.
And we do our own route. Having some locals in the group means we have a good idea where the best roads are. Haven't been disappointed yet. You'll love it.
