The connoisseur's choice

If anyone is after a colourful (yellow) GTS mine has just been taken by RPM Technik. It was a cherished car with the oil warm before any high revs and had been GTechniqu'ed from new. It's not on their site yet but they were thoroughly nice people to deal with. (PDK, X73, PCCB, Buckets, PTV, DAB, Cruise, GTS interior, Nav. etc).

I did 21k miles in two years, many of them motorway and it was by far the most enjoyable car I have ever had the good fortune to own.

Just collected the white GT4 from Top555 and they really are like a different car. The GTS is much more of an accomplished daily whilst the GT4 feels more focused to me, more of an event and I can't wait to get to Spa. -Don't think I will be doing 10k miles a year in it though, the Mpg is shocking..

I have a top of the range outdoor cover from Specialised Covers if anyone is interested, I'll put it on e-bay. Only used a few times but being breathable and with the straps all around it did a great job. You just have to make sure the car is immaculate (and dry) before you use it.

Going to miss the GTS, fantastic cars.

Good luck with the sale! I just sold mine (the red one) through RPM as well and they were top notch. They actually sold the car twice in the end so they won't have trouble shifting yours. The drive down there to drop it off was good fun as well!

Enjoy mate. One day I'll try a GT4. How bad is it on fuel? Over the weekend I nailed pretty much a full tank in 105 miles getting 11.8mpg in the GTS. Some amazing roads.

Love these cars, either way GT4, GTS amazing machines.

Look after your alloys gents!

After hitting a fist sized rock I managed to puncture my front alloy wheel. Car recovered to Porsche and needs a new alloy, new tyre and geo sorted out. Cost to replace is the pricely sum of over £1,400. Alloy wheel is over £1,100 which I found to be a bit on the expensive side.

Wowzers! That must have been some rock!

That's some hit!

There is a genuine 20" carerra wheel on eBay for £475.

Thanks but that's a rear wheel and I'm after a front one.

It's pretty bad, the GTS was fantastic if driven sparingly between WOT bursts or high 70's and into the 80's on the motorway. The GT4 will be around 100 miles per tank less I think.

Hi Robj4,

Does your GT4 have the 64litre fuel tank option (the same size as the GTS) or the standard fit 54litre one? The reason I ask is I changed from a GTS just over a week ago to a GT4 and mine has the 64litre fuel tank. I'm just about to finish off my first tank of fuel in the GT4 and I'm going to get around 50 miles less out of it than the GTS given the same mix of spirited A road and stuck in traffic town driving which I think is ok, and probably a bit better than I expected given the increase in capacity and performance.

My Agate Grey GTS is currently for sale at OPC Tewkesbury if anyone is looking for one. I've sold it to them already so have no remaining interest in the car. If you want an honest answer to any questions you have on it, just let me know.

Goes without saying that I absolutely loved the GTS, which I had from new, but the GT4 feels like a different beast entirely

[robj4]

Hi CGTS, yes it does have the larger fuel tank. Bit early for me to draw a conclusion but like you I've had the GT4 for just over a week and RPM bought mine from me. (It's up on their site now) so no interest in the sale.

Has anyone had any problems with cracking on the P-Zero's? As I was looking at mine this morning and it seems they have all started to crack.

At least 2 of us on here have with N0s. Pirelli were very good - giving me a free pair of N1s (the rears were also cracked but worn out).

Would these be classed as bad as the car is just over 2 years old now?

Did you reach out to the OPC or Pirelli directly?

[DJMC]

Don't have time now, but I can give you the Pirelli lady's name etc who sorted my cracked fronts and paid for new Goodyears.

PM me? Back later.

[bcr5784]

I contacted Taylor Samantha, GB [[e-mail]]

I have to say mine were different, so I'm not sure you'll get the same response as I did.

Interesting, my fronts are in a similar state. I assumed it was just normal aging/deterioration to be honest. Mine are two years old, on 18K miles. Let me know how you get on.
