I bet the same type of guys might say a E type Jag is glorious...when it drives like a bath tub
If you want real emotion drive a women through the gears she will give you far more emotion !!!
So why are you driving a Porsche, save yourself some money and get a ford. Talk about contradicting yourself :roll:
You missed the point....it's just too much talk about emotion.... Porsche make great cars
So let's say someone makes a car that is slow but plays a great soundtrack linked to you right foot....some of you will go buy it 🤣
Boxsey said:I'm glad that I recently got to spend a couple of days in a 718 because I now know that the sound is awful, the brakes are mushy and too assisted, the steering is numb, they have no road presence and the sound is awful. So you can say what you like about the near equivalent performance of a 718 GTS but it is not in any shape or form in the same league as a GT4 to own, drive and enjoy.
tim993 said:interesting - I was not a huge fan of the regular 981 brakes. Very capable of course (its a Porsche) but having now tried 991 brakes, they are in a different league. The GT4 has tasty big brakes too, so I imagine they are awesome!
how do you find the GT4 suspension on UK roads? I have to say that whilst I prefer X73 to PASM, I understood that GT4s go another stage further.
(sorry OP - I am also a fan of the 718, just that the GT4 is quite distracting!)

spongebob squarepants said:Putting aside the 981 v 718 (the 981 is clearly the best :grin Id seriously consider a 987 Cayman with the new Hartech rebore over both the above :thumb:
I think alot will go this way and many old Boxsters/caymans/911's are about to get a new lease of life :thumb:
edit* In fact I may even buy one run it and wait for the inevitable engine meltdown :worship: :grin:

About 11 cm Tim. And with it being about 70 cm between the front of a wheel and the lip..it's very easy to make a school boy error of mounting a kerb with the front in a car parking space. :hand:
krishcanag said:Obviously, many are stuck on the 981 GT4 just on the sound which I understand, I just won't spend 20k extra to buy any car that is slower it's 14 seconds slower on the Nuremberg track just for the sound. If the new 718 GT4 comes with PDK I would buy it if offered else it might be a R8 V10 +, the best budget supercar
