Default My First Porsche - 718 Cayman Gt4

Hi all,

Very happy to have joined the P car family.

Here is my 2022 GT4 in chalk with buckets and PCCB!







First fillup. About 1000 miles in the last 4 days

Wally approves

I was going to say, good job by the person who built the car. Nice find!

Good to see this one go locally from POConshy!
Same dealership I ordered my CMW GT4 from - - and there’re surprisingly a good number of GT4/GTS guys locally if you’re in the PHilly Metro Area.

How do you like the Wing Riser look (in person)?
Congrats

Thanks!

I’ve been looking for a few months now. Spec is important to me. Saw this pop up on Autotrader around 1 am and gave them a $5k deposit sight unseen at 9am.

the car is back in Boston now after a 6 hour drive

I like it a lot. Admittedly I’m a younger guy (20s) and I enjoy an aggressive looking car. I think it fits the car really well.

I agree that it fits the car very well. I was a little nervous before purchasing and installing but it looks really good in person and I'm glad I did it. Sadly, I don't think it photographs very well at all. Depending on the angle it's photographed it appears to be too tall and not a cohesive look.

congrats!

Our cars are very similar save for the PCCBs and yellow interior stitching. Maybe I’ll see you around the Boston area one of these days.

Enjoy! Chalk with yellow accents is delightful.

@Byington Welcome to the Pcar family. You have picked a wonderful car to start your journey. As someone who also purchased his first Porsche (a 1980 911SC Targa) in his early 20s, 40+ years and 15+ Porsches later, I can tell you it it will most likely lead to a lifelong passion. Enjoy that journey! Cheers

Did the clear side marker mode before posting pics. OP knows how to photo.

Another Boston based GT4. I'm not sure your plans but I hope track is in your future. I'm a member at Thompson, PM me if you want to do a club day.
