Use the money for the C8 and convert the GT4 to 4.5L

Your somewhat limited production classic GT4 will always be worth more than your soon to-be mass produced hot wheels C8. The GT4 is a much better car, I would keep it and quickly sell the C8 before GM historically saturates the market with them and values drop below MSRP.

I’d sell the C8. Owners are selling them at a good premium right now.

Keep them both, but definitely keep the GT4. I recently drove a 992 Carrera 4S and it almost put me to sleep. I know the C8 has more personality than the new, non-GT 911s, but these automated cars are taking all passion and character from the drive. We need these things!

Sell the C8 now and buy it back in a year for $40k less.

Just picked up my C8 on Friday put on 200 miles so far. Totally different cars, the main thing I’m having to adjust to is the size, the C8 is a lot bigger. I know all the quantitative data is there that it corners faster, accelerates better etc. but the C8 doesn’t feel like it doesn’t want to be tossed around like a GT4 does it’s not as nimble.

But if you want something with World class performance that you could drive every day the C8 is your car. I know what the GT4 feels like on the track and in about a month I’ll see what the C8 feels like. No question the C8 is a better driver you wouldn’t want to take a trip in the GT4, for trust me. Especially with the lightweight bucket seats.

Interesting thing this is my 40th car but the first one I’ve ever bought with an automatic transmission. The gearbox works really well I’ve driven a lot of PDKs and it’s right there. Actually, feels smoother on the up shifts than the PDK. Well time will tell, I’m going to sell one of them . Basically, it’s a sudden death playoff.
By the way the M2C is my DD, great car cant put a bike in the others.

Easy fix available to make GT4 nicer for daily driving, and the bike doesn't need to go "in" the car to take it with you:





That said, I'd love to try an M2C with Dinan coils, and a Noelle tune...was looking at the M2, TTRS, and GT4 before pulling the trigger.
