981 GT4 718 Spyder?

Anyone actually done this switch?

Interested to hear thoughts and comparisons. Love the drama and hooligan aspect of my GT4 which i've had for 5 happy years, but also love a soft top.

I’ve had both and a couple of examples of each. Very different cars. If you dont track your GT4 then as a road car the 718 Spyder is a nicer car. Much better powertrain, useful uplift in the interior quality etc etc. The much discussed high gearing is a bit of a drag in the 718, something that is partially mitigated by a PDK Spyder. I enjoyed my GT4’s as track cars but not as “dailys” where I found them a bit tiresome. The Spyders were great all rounders and I loved using mine as often as possible. It’s not that the Spyder is much softer than a GT4 it’s just a bit more accessible on the road.
As ever the devil can be in the detail of the spec that you have / buy and in the chassis set up of both cars.
Both great cars. Enjoy the search.
