Sweet car and it probably even comes with cup holders. :)
13:1 compression is a bunch. Does it have some trick valve/cam/timing set up so you'll be able to get by without racing gas? |
Cup holders and heated seats!
They get away with the high compression through a combination of aluminum heads, piezo-electric fuel injectors, variable cam timing and an efficient combustion chamber design with 4 valves per cylinder. |
I thought they must have some super hi tech VooDoo tricks to be able to get away with that much compression.
Sounds most excellent! |

Question is: What's your new nickname gonna be? I have to imagine you threw all your extra bottles of Windex and microfiber towels in the trunk for the new owner... right? :confused::confused::confused: |
Indeed along with an FE starter, lead hammer, spinner removal tool, K&N air filters, carb cleaner.....
I am sure the Cobra gang will find an appropriate nickname for me! |
Just don't go to the dark side Mike ! Others have.

"Just don't go to the dark side Mike ! Others have."
Gary, too late. He already has a "Porch" on order.:eek: |
New name, Windex in German
|
Not surprisingly, “polished bare metal” was not an optional color choice.
Will see how long it takes to get it. Not a model they make a lot of and I am waiting for the dealer to get an allocation so they can put my order in. Should have ordered it a year ago. Oh well “das ist leben”.... |
Porsche just calls it "Paint to Sample" but I doubt they have ever had someone request polished aluminum! LOL
|
He can always have it wrapped...Reynolds wrapped!
|
Well, I got impatient, and while waiting for the dealer to get an allocation and then submit my order I started surfing around and found an exact copy of the car that I had ordered except it was black instead of white. At the Porsche dealer in Santa Clara California, and available now. In fact I located it the day it arrived. So now I am the proud owner. After it gets the clear film applied to the front of the car it will be shipped to Phoenix. Probably get here in a couple of weeks
|
I put a couple of photos in my photo album....
|
Once you go black, you never go back��

Super car! Now you can carry gallons of Ultimate Detail spray instead of Windex.

My 97 Corvette was black, and I painted my 69 corvette black back in the early 2000's... I went back. Haven't owned a black car since 2006, and that's just FINE with me.... Congrats on the purchase Mike! I like the GT4 a lot better than the 911 (except you'll still be driving it around backwards all the time :p:p:p) If you thought cases of Windex were hard to keep in stock, just wait until you find out how fast you go through California dusters and detailing spray.... :LOL: I'm waiting a couple more years to see if the rumors about GM swapping the 6.2 liter pushrod engine for a a 550hp 5.5 liter flat plane engine in the 2023 C8 are true.. If they are, then that just might be my next "guilty-pleasure"... But it won't be black, for sure. :p |

Kind of funny going from “everything polished aluminum” to black. I do like this car a lot better than 911....It’s lighter, naturally aspirated, and more of a sports car. Still won’t be able to keep up with the cobra gang. Mike |

Now Robert...Wifey, Daughters, horsies...might get in the way. :eek: |
