1 Year Porsche GT4 Ownership Review

I have had my 981 GT4 for just a little over a year. Its been a dream owning a car like this. I can't wait to get it on the track this year. Please leave some comments if you have any suggestions or what not.

Great car you have there! I had the opportunity early in 2019 for a Sapphire blue 981 GT4 with 12000 mile at a good price but was still financing my GX460. Then the market went crazy and prices shot up. Fortunately I was able to get a 2022 Cayman GTS allocation at Msrp which is nearly impossible in California. I never thought I could ever own a Porsche in my lifetime but after working so hard to achieve my dream car it finally happened a few months back I picked up my new ride and it feels incredible. Every time I drive it is a special occasion and worth every penny.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I have State Farm and they have taken care of us but we are not under a fixed value policy. I did price out Hagerty insurance and it’s gotten more expensive. I have owned my GT4 for a year as well but only driven it half the miles. I love it but the only worry I have is the strut tower failures I’ve seen. I am not sure how I feel about the risers. The clock is awesome but I think it’s wired into other parts of the systems. I did see the guy who added the one to his Cayman but mine came with it and you can access it through the steering wheel and PCM so not sure it’s a simple install.

I use Hagerty’s to insure my GT4. They have been very good. The insure for what ever value you want. Highly recommend.

I agree...best car I've owned to date. Had many Porsches, this is the best one. 👍

I wouldn’t cut the dash to add sport chrono. I bought a white 981 gt4 last Feb before the market got stupid. I wanted sport chrono, but I found a clean example with 11K miles and the carbon buckets. I think adding something that is a factory option but isn’t on the original build sheet would hurt the value. All the things you have done are reversible. You can’t go back once you cut the dash! And I agree about track days. I did three last year, and the gt4 is one of the best “affordable” track cars out there. You don’t need a ton of power in this car to go fast and have fun.

Have you thought about getting the 4.5L stroker upgrade from DeMan Motorsports?

Enjoy your projects. I noticed you haven't removed the ugly warning stickers on your visors. I bet a bunch of people would love to see the simple process of removing them. I did mine and it is the thing I notice most every time I drive my GT4. Keep up the good work!!

Would you say that the IPD Plenum and throttle body was worth it? Do I need it to tune my car or is headers + tune enough?

Does your bike fit in the back with the front wheel off?

Did you go with the Soul exhaust and the Soul headers? Which roll bar did you go with?
