I was lucky enough to be at PEC on tuesday and part of the day was a 10 minute passenger ride in a gt4 on the circuits . My driver was barry horne . Omg what a driver and what a car. Car control otherworldly!
I’ve been lucky enough to go out with Barry at the PEC in a GT4 . Yup, he can pedal that’s for sure.

Screw the mileage gents just use it. Mine has done 5000 miles & I guess by the end of the year after 2 trackdays a months & Sunday blast outs etc it will most likely be 10k - couldn’t give a toss I’m enjoying it.

And I have separation anxiety already.

Since the day I collected it two years ago I thought my GT4 was pretty much the best sports car ever and expected it to be a keeper right up until the day I took an unexpected call from my OPC telling me I got a GT3 allocation at the eleventh hour.

I also went from a 981 Cayman S to the GT4. Feel-good factor with the GT4 is off the chart compared to the S. You are going to LOVE it.

Big boots to fill, i have a feeling a manual, Guards GT3 will manage it though.

Enjoy.
I still haven’t got the nod on a 991.2 GT3 allocation despite being assured I would likely get one (in PTS, no less).

The thing is, I will find it very hard to give up my Voodoo GT4 if/when it does happen. I may even pass.

I decided that a GT3 might be less fun than a GT4 because there is the risk that it could become a garage queen.

Just my thoughts and others will think differently.

I’ll take your allocation 👍🏻

A GT4 and £40k to spend on whatever else you want --- or a GT3 --- ?

I chose a Caterham CSR super light which I teased out of the garage for the first time yesterday.

If you think the steering in the GT4 is good, the CSR is telepathic ... and the sound .... OMG.

So, what would you spend your £40k on ??

Track days, tyres, etc, oh and a power upgrade to 420hp

^^^ This..... wink Test drove a 991.1 3RS at the weekend— fantastic machine.... But..... Not £100k better IMHO.... Loved the motor— soooo mechanical sounding— and loved the immediate throttle response.... Didn’t like the PDK (but that’s clearly a contentious topic!!)....

Reckon that it’s probably a visit to PARR motorsport, or Jens Ehresmann over in Germany, for me.... A lot cheaper than a swap into an RS, and can only improve on an already amazing machine... wink

And yes, that £100k could also add an Exige 380 Cup into the garage— if that raw, “full on” race-car experience is what I really need.... 2 amazing cars for the price of 1..... Seems a bit of a no brainer tbh....

I've already done everything other than the power upgrade.

Manthey suspension upgrades, KW Clubsport 3 way dampers ... and I gratuitously exchanged the PCCB's for Surface Transform discs ... now done 7 track days and the pads are around a quarter worn. Incredible. The tyres now go off way before the brakes ... hence the minimal pad wear. If there is no GT4RS, the Ehresmann upgrade will be next ... but another question.

Would you modify your own engine or install an exchange / tuned engine ??

Well done for taking the plunge with all those mods. I haven't tracked mine enough to comment on whether the suspension work is needed, for the road I don't think so. Although the DSC suspension module is a tempting option for me. Changing the brakes from the superb PCCB's is a big decsion, not sure I'd do that for fast road driving but may be worth it for regular track work.

I hadn't considered installing an exchange engine, surely that is a much bigger job / cost? For me the known power upgrade option seems like a good shout. As some cars approach the end of warranty I suspect more will start to do this. Maybe there could be a group discount arrangement for multiple cars done by one supplier?

+1 on the CSR although the sweet spot out of all my previous Caterham's was the R400D, Prior to my stint owning Porsche's I had 12 years driving Caterham's on road and track and there isn't a lot that comes close for driver enjoyment, There was never an attraction for me to track any of my previous Porsches.

New member to the forum and apologies if I'm breaking any kind of rules.

There seems to be quite the range of prices for GT4's at the moment and after following the market for a bit not all of them seem justified for the spec/mileage, but if they're selling (a lot are not) I guess that's what the market is paying....

I'm looking for a high spec car with clubsport, PCCB etc, LWB's... does anyone know how much these are actually exchanging hands at via an OPC or not.

I bought one two months ago - exactly that spec at a similar price to that currently advertised for such spec - got a great trade in on the 997gt3 as well.

Not looked back since then

For a lowish mileage 2 year old 1 owner car most OPCs would bid around £4k under list atm.

Very colour spec and mileage sensitive.

For a low mileage example with all the above, you’d be looking close to £90k from an OPC.... Depending on colour....
