GT4 first driving review
Discussion
k, Porsche are marketing a car you can't even fmarlie said:
Certainly sounds very focussed - which is what many called out for - but also very compromised for the road, which those wishing to cover significant off track mileage may be less keen on. A back to back with an Exige V6 would be very interesting.

Article says.... We turn off stability control and, while we’re at it, hit the Sport and exhaust buttons, too. Now the twin tailpipes speak up with the rusty voice of the Marlboro Man, and the black box blips the throttle prior to downshifts. Ready to scare the locals?
=====================
Am I reading that right?
What's the point of having a manual gearbox if the car blips the throttle for you on downshifts????
Massive disappointment if that is really what it does!
you have a choice, auto blip works very well, you don't have to have it on.
no one and I mean NO one can threshold brake every bend every time to the max.
So it gives you that extra chance to nail the braking when on track
the 911 CUP cars all fitted auto blippers from 2012 onwards, no one is that good.
you still have 3 pedals and have to change gear, but you can choose auto blip or not , win win in my book, esp chasing down GT3's on track in 2015 ;-)

I thought it was auto-enabled when you hit the sport button, is it a separate switch then?PorscheGT4 said:

Yeah but that's where the fun is (for me anyway) getting it right occasionally is SO MUCH MORE rewarding than getting it right every time automaticallyPorscheGT4 said:

Boring! CUP cars are irrelevant, they are chasing lap times and trying to win a race!Gassing Station | Boxster/Cayman | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
