Grant:
Seems quite close to GT4 when accounting for tire differences, to be expected.
Yep - some interesting comments in the article:
> GT4 much easier to drive at the limit (especially on Nordschleife) due to more grip at the rear axle (bigger rubber/semis) and downforce. Spyder turn-in is excellent, but rear likes to step out earlier than in the GT4 (huge fun on B-roads, but Cojones/alert driver required on a bumpy track like Nordschleife)
> analogue sport suspension perfect on HHR, but a little bit "stiff" for Nordschleife
> Steering very precise/ direct, but feels less meaty compared to the GT4
> PCCB ("old" version / GT4 has the newest one) performing only so-so
> sixth gear electronically limited at 7,100 rpm ? (rumor has it that there will be a software update fixing this)
> engine/exhaust noise great and even better as in the GT4
Conclusion: Spyder perfect for B-roads, GT4 perfect for the track (as expected) "You need both"
