    Nice one, Enma. Since they were an accident the first time around it'll be interesting to see if Bluelines can recreate them when he really wants to.  indecision

    Re: Cayman GT4

    Was there a problem with the sound? It was very bassy and muted and lacking some drama?


    Re: Cayman GT4

    Well have been told today that CTS would mean a 9 week delay to my build slot, which I didn't have an issue with as had already accepted an 8 week delay for the buckets and CS pack

    Then the bombshell, whilst they'd confirmed last week the 8 week delay the salesperson checked with vehicle planning again and the, as yet to be formally announced, message is that they may be withdrawing the buckets and CS as options on the car due to supplier problems - had seen the internet rumours about this but it is as the first time I'd heard it directly from the OPC; this might be a deal breaker for me as am buying this car to use as an 'arrive and drive' along side our 987.2 Spyder, and how can it be a GT devised car without them - wonder if they'll offer the  buckets as standard in the Spyder if it comes to it?


    Re: Cayman GT4

    sorry brain freeze. but what's CTS?

     

    I didnt spec LWB, and still have heard NOTHING about my build date..... Porsche needs to get their act together.  this is very messy and likely to piss off a lot of loyal Porsche customers.

    Porsche doesn't really care that much about your build date. Demand is strong and they will sell all the ones they make anyway...

    Yep, but the Porsche marketing department, in the UK at least, have got their hands on it and are referring it as colour to sample now....

    What about the lap time vs. the red 997.2 GT3? Similar, better...?...

    Re: Cayman GT4

    Great pics and video Bluelines. Keen to hear Dave's view of it relative to GT3. 


    Re: Cayman GT4

    It was a standard track day . There was maybe 25/30 cars max. So most of the time you had an empty track . 

    I drove Dave's GT3 and then directly after , I drove Blueline's GT4 . Both for about 3 or 4 laps.

    Verdict : angry smiley

    The GT3 is faster , no dougt about that . It feels like a razor sharp track setting time machine . The speed you reach are getting  frightening ( to me anyway  )

    The GT4 is more dramatic . The noise is more brutal , the car feels much lighter  ( if only the GT3 could feel like that !!! ), it pulls strongly , the balance is superb ( I personally prefer a heavier back as in the Gt3 ) . Probably more fun , but not in the same league as a GT3 .

    I did not like the '' blips'' on the downshifts . I like to '' blip'' myself and felt them intrusive  . Maybe I would get used to them after a while . It does allow you to do very fast downshifts  .

    So, I did find it very fun , but maybe in the long run one could feel that he reaches his limits quicker in the GT4 . In the GT3 there is probably a very long way to go until you get to the limits and master fully that car.

    The GT4 is a great ' toy ' ( not to be taken lightly )  , the GT3 is a more serious, faster older cousin..
