Yes it does say full buckets actually… although I’m sure it didn’t earlier…., nevertheless.

Resale is only relevant when I want to sell it - which I don't at present. It will be worth what someone is willing to pay me for it when I do, that might be over list price or under it, but either way I will extracted the value from it in terms of enjoyment and ownership experience.

That's a beauty J. I like the stealth look.

This one awaiting collection at local OPC. Looks great in shark blue but I'm not convinced on the contrasting blue stripe set.

Surpassed my wildest expectations to be truthful. I've grown to really appreciate the compact feeling of the 718 platform compared to the 992. Having said that I'm really looking forward to the 992T I have coming soon with its simple traditional 911 ethos.

I love the look of the bright coloured ones however prefer to own more stealthy coloured ones such as Black ,Silver or Crayon. Bright coloured ones stand out too much for my liking in the rural area I live in.

That blue stripe must be a mistake?

Still got my GT4 however my GT3 RS went back last October as a carrot to get another RS. I like the 4RS a lot more than I expected.

Fair play to you, guess it made sense to trade the 3 rs back.

Is it night and day compared to the standard GT4?

I went silver myself this time, wanted to tone it down a little as well

It is night and day however I still love my 718GT4 Manual enough to keep it alongside the RS. Manic drivetrain apart the front of the RS feels like its come from a different platform. The steering feel, weighing and accuracy is the best I've experienced in any modern Porsche.
My initial concern on the ride would be too harsh for our B roads proved unfounded. The body control and finely judged damping makes it a total joy as a back road blaster. The compact dimensions also helps in this regard.
I already prefer it to my old 991.2RS which is something I never thought possible.

I think GT silver is the best colour for it but I went Black because my GT4 is GT Silver and I wanted a contrast in the garage.
How do you rate yours ?

I thought it would be different. Porsche always keep upping the game on each GT car.

Interesting you say the front feels like it’s from a different platform, I was told the 4rs uses the 992 4s front tub to allow front suspension changes. I’m sure it’s a delight on the roads down your way, the cayman is the perfect size fun car for our roads. It must be something else if you prefer it over your 991.2 gt3 rs !

Is it as loud inside the cab as people say and please tell me you added front lift 😆

I’m very envious, you have a cracking summer of driving ahead.

Enjoy Taff.
