Unless the 718 GT4 gets some detuned version of the GT3's 4.0L engine.
Besides the gearing, the one thing that you could (sort of  ) knock the 981 GT4 for was the lack of a true GT-spec engine. It was the 991.1 CS engine...which is obviously good, but not the 8800+ revving monster we have seen in the various forms of the GT3 lately.
Although Porsche might keep that in their back pocket for the GT4-RS. That's going to be a lot of fun to watch. 
EDIT - I look at the 981 GT4 as a very similar exercise as the 1M was for BMW. I think they wanted to test the market, and so while the 981 GT4 has tons of upgrades over a 981 GTS, Porsche didn't go to the level of giving it a GT-spec engine. Now that they know people really will buy a GT-level Cayman, we might see them sprinkle more magic into the 718 version. |
I prefer my 1M to the GT4. Odd as I'm sure 95% of people would take the GT4. Both are fantastic cars the 1M is just a bit less predictable and I think more fun! |
Wow. Interesting. I passed on an opportunity to drive a friend's GT4 on track at Texas World Speedway .. he was in break in and said to keep it under 5k. I said .. thanks but no thanks... I will probably NOT be able to do that.
They are definitely fantastic cars and the only car I would potentially trade the 1M for is a GT4... definitely not a stock M2...
I might offer a dealer to trade me a CS even up...
:
Actually .. as a 1M owner .. im sitting at the table holding my cards until the M2 CS or GTS is announced with a manual ... If they don't have 6MT I will fold my hand.
An M2 GTS with a 6 MT .. I would be all in.
Your move BMW
