Was my birthday prezzie last year, manual, with "club sports" pack.
Car is fun in old school way, but absolutely slower then most rides out there. Even a PDK 992 C2S will be faster at the get go, but if a certain analogue feeling is what u crave, this is it. Dont go for the track half cage and sport bucket seats, i tried the "regular" edition and its way more comfortable with 80% of the seat grip etc. The Goodyears are not as grippy as the Pirelli, but less harsh.
Good luck and enjoy your ride.
Best,
Horo

What a beast!

Very sexy in person and quite compact, it really looks like the gt3rs and the gt4 had a baby Love the color too which is a great match for the black and carbon accents: ...
Epic car

Perfect for track work.
Couldn't agree more

In that way more extreme than the GT3 which is the better road car (quite a statement!).
Not mine just at the showroom

My pick of the line-up is the boxster gts 4.0 though, a real bargain at half the price of a gt4rs..

German horses, the best thing second to Italian cavalli ;-)

Porsche has gone crazy...
By: patrick_y : August 9th, 2022-22:21
Porsche has gone crazy with their pricing structure. Here in Silicon Valley, people think of Porsches as a great value. But the Porsche dealers here fleece owners with insane servicing costs. Mainly because owners here have no idea what to expect and are ...
They literally charge you what they want to charge you...
By: patrick_y : August 10th, 2022-17:44
In America, the rule is that they're supposed to charge you for parts and for the regular number of labor-hours that job usually entails. A "Master Book" lists all of the typical services and the number of hours those services are supposed to be billed fo...
Wow, that is nuts! Sounds like Greubel service pricing :P
By: Fastwong : August 11th, 2022-02:09
I haven't paid for a service at a dealership in years, I remember it being bad but this sounds like it's really gotten out of control. That said, I have gotten some freebies from the dealers I've had car trouble away from home a couple times, once in Mont...
Huge risk for Alpine and their parent company...
By: patrick_y : August 11th, 2022-23:31
We have a number of Nissan dealerships in USA. Maybe they'll bring Alpine franchises to Nissan dealerships. But most Nissan dealerships will think twice. The cost to train a service staff to know how to work on the vehicle is costly. And if there's not en...
Alas, there is no Renault representation in USA...
By: patrick_y : August 12th, 2022-05:59
We don't really have French cars in the USA. No Renault. No Peugot. Only French brand that has dealerships in USA is Bugatti which is from Franco-German Alsace region (and Bugatti himself was mostly Italian).
More options is usually a good thing for the consumer!
By: patrick_y : August 12th, 2022-06:11
I just want them to open a Pierre Herme here. That's all I ask! And some nice baguettes and flaky croissants. The Eric Kayser here in USA doesn't taste the same as in Paris. When I fly to Greece, I bring back my favorite olive oil. Thankfully now, I can g...
Always beware those people with planes...
By: patrick_y : August 11th, 2022-23:28
Some people have expensive habits. Gambling, drinking, drugs, planes, and watches. Always be afraid if you're doing business with them! I'm saying that mostly as a joke. It's always a fine balance at a Porsche dealership. It's human nature to try to be he...
400 Euros is a fair price...
By: patrick_y : August 11th, 2022-23:26
Here, the annual service on a Mercedes can vary. They have odd number years and even number years. Odd number years; 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 are generally not too bad. It's mainly an oil change and a quick inspection. The dealers charge around $300 US Dolla...
That's what I was thinking...
By: patrick_y : August 10th, 2022-18:18
The Lamborghini Huracan genuinely drives like a special machine (even though it is admittedly 20% an Audi R8). There's so much more emotion than the Porsche. And the Porsche is a technically brilliant car. Just brilliant. But the Lamborghini for only a $5...
In Germany the share of full paid Porsche (new cars) is about 10%
By: penfriend : August 10th, 2022-10:26
the rest is paid in any kind of finance/leasing arrangements - very different to other brands. So being a Porsche owner in its true sense applies to only a small minority of drivers over here. I turned my back to the brand in 2010 after nearly 20 years of...
I don't know in USA, but we are heavily financed...
By: patrick_y : August 10th, 2022-17:57
USA built the whole concept of mass credit adoption. So it's only natural. Americans buy everything on credit. And have some of the highest credit card debts in the world. The average car loan is now around 69 months!!! 69! that's nearly 6 years!!! People...
