Unfortunately, not with the insane mark-ups some dealers place on them...

Find me one near MSRP. I'll give you a nice finder's fee and buy it. Dead serious

One thing that the aftermarket needs to address are the first and second gear ratios!!

Pushing the sport button in the GT4 does not change steering effort and throttle response. He is mistaken.

Afaik, the sport button does nothing to steering effort in any Porsche.

Getting tired of companies making limited releases of great drivers cars, forcing them into false scarcity.

What did he really even say?

A GT4 review should take place on the track and comment on how the package makes the driving dynamics different than the GTS. If you're just cruising down mountain roads in the "best" Cayman that seems a waste. Just get an S and all the bling you want. You'll be more comfortable and better off.

Jesus, really?
Ok, i'll start looking right now...so far, the P-dealers are giving priority to the previous Gt3 and Turbo owners (when i've called).

But that might just be jersey...

Good luck. A reasonable investment should double roughly every 10 years (after all of the expenses). Problem will be when owners talk about the MSRP and what it is still worth, not what they actually paid.

I am surprised that Porsche doesn't take advantage of the demand (either build more) or just raise the MSRP and put the money in their pocket. This goes for any of their "special" versions.

A 2016 Cayman S is at $110 locally. They have 2 GT4's on the lot. I'll be taking a look at them this week, but I'm afraid there's a reason why they're still there.

I've never been a Porsche fan, but the GT4 might just replace my current go kart.
