Can recommend Radical as a trackway car, I came from GT3s etc but now we just play with them........😆

Boyo in GT3 trying hard, I'm running at a leisurely pace to capture a wee video for the fellow

Nah. been there done that. Once you have blown everything off you realise there is no challenge anymore, everything is in the way and a caterham is more fun and race it or sell it.

It actually had less of the pop and bangs and more of an exotic tone with the induction more audible (dare i say more ferrari ish), I forgot to mention I changed the filters as well.

It is much as you would expect in that it feels more open at the top end and also linear so much less evidence of the torque step. It certainly starts to open up the top end so heading in the right direction. Although I stopped short of the final bit ie headers I would certainly do this as well then I think it would be sensational. As near to a GT3 as your going to get.

No not a lot quicker but certainly lets say eager. Its more about how it sounds and feels imo. As I said above I didnt have the headers which i would recommend then it will be a stunning power unit.

Simple solution is to ensure your 2 track day mates that you alway run with, also run Radical. Yes faster than the rest with 2 mates to play with. Sorted...Last dedicated track car was a Westie with Hayabusa fitted so I understand the appeal but I have done that. This encourages you to a different level of smoothness etc. No right or wrong I guess just different experience, as a group we planned the Radical purchases to ensure we all had one so we could enjoy this experience.

IMO a used gt4 seems the best place to buy your money in a usable Porsche GT product at the moment.

Very good 991.1 gt3 an be bought for early 100k but interest in these cars seem to be slowing

Very good RHD 991.1 gt3 rs cars can be bought for 170 to 180k but seem to be falling in price on a weekly bases. These are massively mileage sensitive.

There a huge amount of very low mileage 991.2 gt3 cars on the market as flippers try to cash in, Prices on these will soften as the weather changes.

My advice is you will probably loose the least amount of cash on a gt4 and you will be able to use it, plus the new one will be more expensive and the demand will outway supply, this will help support what is already a very well priced used GT car.
So forgetting the dealer asking prices for a GT4's with CS package. At what price can a GT4 be had privately with say 10k miles ? Tempted to wait till mid winter for one

no one knows, the private market is tiny due to part ex and finance issues, and people just get a faster return with SOR.

I pointed out the redline car ,and it sold in a few days, that had every thing and was £79k, so cars are selling if top spec low miles for £79k, private would be back at list(with the nice options) £75k if you were lucky and the seller could be arsed to list it private, but they are very thin on the ground. better to show an interest on a forum and get a private forum owned car for a 50/50 deal at £77k both parties win then.

I just think due to the new one , one may was well wait as there will be 600 of them no problem, so you might well get a new one at list !

the specs/rumors and prices are just that rumors, which imo sound too good to be true, but one can never tell with Porsche.

We might well see a car at £69k with a NA 4.0l 420 BHP engine with GT3 running gear/brakes !! and if 1st dibs goes to past GT4 owners then we are going to see a mighty flood of GT4's for sale, like we have with GT3 to RS sales, but this time it will be 10 fold.

The redline car was mine, i sold it to bolton OPC as they offered a very decent price.

I did have a very serious offer from a PHer for a private cash sale, but that was actually under what bolton OPC offered in the end.

The dealers can easily "add" £5k+ to the price of a car and people will pay it as they would rather buy from porsche and have the warranty.

Yep private buyers want daft deals :-( then they miss out and have to pay more .....
Looks like yours already sold from the OPC then, or has it not come up yet.

I think that all makes sense. Certainly no real private cars for sale .
I’ll sit back and see what The new car does to prices .
There will be a level that the current model will hover around for some time im sure .

Cheers

Very few gt4 cars come up for sale privately, I would be shocked if you could be a car like that for less than £72k privately.
