Usually road use is what damages wheels

Kerbs?

The GT2 RS at the OPC had its Mags replaced by standard wheels as they got too much damage there. The Mags on my RS are still like new with over 5k miles and six track days although I tend to avoid aggressive track kerbs to be on the safe side.

Now now ladies.

I collect wristwatches and wasn’t coerced into anything whatsoever.

I’ve also actually individualised the watch costing me nearly 2k extra.

The only thing that i couldn’t decide on was the wheels. And as I said above I’ve negated that by losing 3.5kg in body weight.

Well done! Substantial human body weight never lost without effort and self-sacrifice. Sprung or unsprung (I race karts, there are no springs involved directly, but losing weight has helped in the past), I bet you feel better for it. And what's not to love about a nice wrist watch?

Nothing, but I personally wouldn't class the item in question as "nice" - especially for £9k+!

YMMV of course

Nice sounds and footage;

The RS gearing difference in 7th is just immense compared to the GT4, just see 8 min onwards

GT4 7th 4K RPM 200 km/h

GTRS 7th 4K RPM 145 km/h

Don’t understand a word he says in the video but dear god the 4RS sounds amazing. That and the gearing looks perfect to me

Mine is a 1st batch car due end July, beginning August. Shark blue, WP. It won’t look too different to this:

Thanks - I’ve been fortunate to get the opportunity. Although it looks like you’ve got a well sorted GT4 to enjoy!

Shark suits it - i will go for Maritime Blue PTS to match my 964 RS assuming i get lucky with an allocation (i have been told to be patient, but i won't believe it until i have been asked for a deposit of course !). Mate of mine gets his PTS car in the next couple of weeks, another blue, Mexico this time.

Pics when you collect the car please, never considered Blue for my next Cayman, but that does look great!

[ChrisW.]

I do like blue, but there doesn't seem much point in dreaming that my dealer will change their allocation strategy !!

I mean, I'm not even selling my GT4 through them ... since they told me that I wasn't a good enough customer ...

I asked them if this may all become self fulfilling and I was waiting for any response ... so I just asked them to tell me when they were ready to sell me a car ...

[GT4RS]

This may sound like a daft question but does anyone have an idea of how many allocations Uk dealers are actually getting this year, I’ve heard two per dealer this year and 3 next year but this seems very low considering how much porsche would of needed to invest into the project?

[Steve H]

Are cars like this built to make money? Or are they built to help sell more ordinary cars that make money?

I would think they would need to make some sort of profit out of all cars sold.

[Twinfan]

They're still making profit of only a small number of GT4RSs get sold in the UK.I think they'll be selling a lot in the US rather than here.

Sounds right from what im hearing. Sept/Oct cars have now been offered to customers, with another due next year.

UK cars surfacing now… can expect to see this on track some time.

Is that rubystone?
I admire going bold with it but i am unsure about that yellow stitching as a harmonious combo.
