    Re: GT4RS

    Gauss:

    I hope it's not a repost, the price of the big upgrade is going to be 39.718 € (net of tax). Hefty price if you compare it to the base price of the 4RS.

    When you know that the original back spoiler is sold for around 10k , the side plates 500 each.....  it is not surprising the full kit has that stratospheric price. I would love to have it, but hard to justify

    I think the same.


    Re: GT4RS

    Wow. The stock set-up is manually adjustable like the GT3 no? 


    Re: GT4RS

    Went to the dealership some weeks ago to check any luck for the GT4RS allocation and wanted to ask when would be the latest time to get a GT4 allocation in case no hope for GT4RS. Apparently, they stopped the GT4 production already, according to the salesperson.

    Fast forward a few weeks, the salesperson called for GT4RS allocation! This is like a dream comes true! I have been a member in this forum for many many years, but I seldom post anything. Maybe I can post some photo when I get the car.

    I would like say thank you to this forum community, I really enjoy reading here and I got so much interesting info. Also, special thanks for Whoopsy for posting the info for GT4 with GT3 engine all the way back in 2018. I started bugging the dealership since then. 

    Regarding options, there are a few weird restrictions / changes. Steering column has become manual only. Entry and drive could not be ordered. Rain senor and auto dimming mirrors are also not available, maybe only specific to where I am. Would anyone happen to know if rain senor and auto dimming could be retro-fitted? Appreciate if someone could share whether it's worthwhile to order the Bose sound system upgrade too.


     


    Re: GT4RS

    Congratulations on your allocation wink

    I guess options are personal, but the ones you mention, are in my book not really important, except Entry and Drive, which I also do not have on my GT3. That one I would like to have, but the moment you turn the key, it is really a non issue kiss

    Re: GT4RS

    You are welcome!

    Entry and Drive isn't offered on any GT cars. 

    Bose would be like a must have, the base stock speakers just sin't good for even listening to AM radio.

    And no, rain sensor and auto dimming mirror cannot be retrofitted after.

    Congrats, do post pictures when you take delivery !


    Re: GT4RS

    Congratulations. Yes, please, do post many pictures. 
    A few days ago I asked my local salesman if he got new allocations this year and the answer was “no, nothing more then what we were allocated last year.”’

    Must be a region thing or maybe this specific dealer just didn’t want any. The director is not too much into GT cars. Prefers to make his bread and butter with standard models and not have to deal with the GT hassle. 
     

    I have the base Bose.  It is just good enough to hear something. But … I hardly ever turn it on. If you use the throttle on the 4RS no sound system will cope with the “noise”. 
    only when driving smoothly will you be able to hear your stereo.

    Re: GT4RS

    Congrats Sima! I am very happy for you. I know the joy of getting that unexpected 4RS phone call!

    Once you've thought about it, post some details of your spec so we can daydream with you...

     


    Re: GT4RS

    A little update about my 4RS spec. I initially specced GT silver, and I still think that would look good. But I felt that this car needs something more intense. With PTS being unavailable, I went back and forth between Guards Red and Shark Blue. But with Guards Red, I couldn't get the yellow steering wheel center mark changed to red without going CXX (which has a minimum order limit) or aftermarket (not my thing). That left Shark Blue. On June 20th, it should "freeze" as Weissach Pack, hood/wing stripe, Mg wheels in neodyme, PCCBs with yellow calipers, sea blue interior seat inserts and stitching, yellow door pulls and seat belts. Also ordered PDLS (+ not available), smartphone compartment, smoking package, luggage net, lighting, rain sensor and illuminated door sills. No Bose, no fire extinguisher. I think that's everything. So far on schedule for early August delivery.

    That was for complying with US regulation on mandatory backup camera.

    I went with a ProClip USA console phone mount, it will accept a standard Apple MageSafe charger. I know I will never put my phone inside the armrest compartment to charge so I skipped that.

    Re: GT4RS

    Thanks Nick, I'll check that out.


    Re: GT4RS

    New Manthey setup as of today. I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet, but it should be a significant improvement over the performance on the Nordschleife.

    Great quality stuff. I have switched over all my phone mounts to them. Easy tool less mounting to the car, only need to screw the MagSafe holder top to the base. Too bad they don't make one for my Lightning so I am stuck with a vent mount right now.

    So the full conversion is available again ? Looking forward to your feed back. And I need to get to the Ring as soon as possible to get it too. 


    Re: GT4RS

    Unfortunately no, it's just a setup, not an upgrade kit. The setup kit consists only of a measurement and a wheel load balancing/adjustment. Additionally, I also opted for the brake upgrade, which includes new Manthey/Pagid racing brake pads, Endless brake fluid, and steel-braided brake lines. And I treated myself to the Manthey banner 😁

    What did they do to it? If you don't mind sharing.

    Edit: Nevermind :)

    Still interested to get your impressions with the new set up .

    Did they tell you anything new about the conversion availability ?

    Nothing new, I'm still left to believe that it might never return, hard to believe still. Smiley

    If you buy the new suspension (11.900 € net + 1.253 € net for the install), then the conversion is included. 


    Re: GT4RS

    thank you everyone and for sure will post many photo when the car arrives. indecision

    I ordered the following specs: GT silver, WS package, front lift system, chrono package, PDLS, park assist, and Bose. 

    I just feel bad that rain sensors and auto-dimming mirrors cannot be ordered....and also cannot be retro-fitted. 

    The other option that I am still thinking is PCCB. I will probably only take the car out for a quick spin say for Sunday morning drive. Any input would be appreciated, thank you.

    Also, salesperson said we had to send the order to factory soon, but he did not come back on when the the date for option freeze. 


    Re: GT4RS

    hi Gnil, good luck and hope you will have some good news soon. I have a feeling I got the call before I kept bugging the salesperson. Before the allocation call, I actually sent the salesperson ad of someone selling his/her GT4 RS, so he knew I really wanted to get one, either thru him or I might even go for an used one. 


    Re: GT4RS

    hi Whoopsy, now that Spyder RS is out, would you keep your GT4 RS or would swap to a Spyder RS? I wonder if Spyder RS would have the same air in-take sound. 


    Re: GT4RS

    Sima, what is your “freeze date”? If you are lucky maybe the rain sensor will become available again before that date.

    The Spyder RS won't have the same intake sound as the GT4RS, 4RS has a slightly longer intake track and also inside a hard top, the resonance will be completely different.

    I do planned on keeping the GT4RS and add the Spyder RS. Waiting for them to re-open PTS as I planned on having them as a matching pair. They are that special.
