The GT4 is a track tuned version, designed for aggressive driving and really shining at the track and as such, will require a bit of a sacrifice in road comfort.

They are not terrible, I have driven the previous version of GT4 but it is definitely not the car one would mistake for a luxury ride and I believe you used the word "luxury" and "comfort items" in your post.

I don't know if you have ever driven a Cayman before? They are a more intimate cabin space cars compared to a 911 which offers more real estate inside for a tall guy and a 911 is way more capable than a mere mortal can ever truly put down on the street without losing his/her driver's license...

I can see the desire to own a more limited production track oriented Cayman but honestly after owning a half dozen of them, I would personally steer any customer towards a 911 which offers everything anyone that does not intend on tracking their car would ever want. Even a base 911 would go a long way on the track... Porsche builds sports cars...

Just a friendly advise from a guy who has been through at least a dozen Porsches and is being totally objective.

Besides, the GT4 allocations are very hard to come by and you may be disappointed after a long wait. It has happened to more than a few of my Porsche enthusiast buddies as they came up empty handed in the end...

Just so you guys know I did also take into account the 911.
Just ain't me ...........
I want something that when I pull up to a multi-lane-stoplight intersection I don't ever see another of what I'm sitting in.

I'm running out of years so Cathy (Wife) said, Terry get off your butt and put things in motion right now.
I did exactly as she suggested.
