How do you improve on the Porsche Cayman GT4? Join Matt as he drives RPM Technik's GT4 MR; a hardcore, track-ready version of the already brilliant 718 GT4. Will he enjoy it as much as the original car?
Big thanks to RPM Technik for providing the car:

KW 5-way suspension, new bigger rear wing and underbody areo with the standard brake update. Won't do it on mine when it comes due to the price tag it gonna have. I'm still pleased with my GT4MR. I hope i donna gonna regret the upgrade end of the season...

The suspension is in the middle of PASM stiff and standard. At least when you have choosen the Nordschleife setup. The kit transforms the brake to another level. It's nearly impossible to get into ABS on track. The front end compared to the standard GT4 is another level too. It turns in so well. Follows every correction. The kit is highly recommended.

Regarding the lack of sound under 50 km/h or 3800 u/min. Just go for ASR RX1 modul. It always opens the flap if you want to. :) Every GT4 owner i know got it installed.

Having owed a 997GT3 and a GT4, the GT4 is so much quicker in the hills and twists! Without doubt (tickets to prove it, eek). The GT4 still requires loads of driver input when ya on it, and provides good feedback. On the track, weeelll, the GT4 is quick, but prefer the 997GT3 for driver input and difficulties. So for me GT4 wins as this is what most of us drive daily/hills etc. Haven't been on the track in my 992GT3 yet, but this might blow both away?

I owned a 2010 RS 3.8 back over a decade ago and while I very much enjoyed that car I actually found I preferred the GT4 dynamics for road driving even more after owning a 2016 981GT4 and a 718GT4. This past I helped a close friend buy a pristine 2011 GT3 with 8k miles and drove the car for an entire afternoon curious if I would suddenly be won over by its character, especially since it’s almost seemed to have gained legendary status in the years since I owned my RS. The truth was I was honestly disappointed and not all that impressed. For one that gearbox is very plasticky feeling and kind of notchy with long throws compared to the billet solid, extremely short throw of the GT4, the steering felt extremely light, front end not planted, and the car just felt a bit unsettled overall. I realize that die hard enthusiasts will say that’s what makes the car so special is that it requires you to make concessions to your driving style to suit the car but frankly it just felt old and wasn’t that rewarding. For a back I personally have a ton more fun with the GT4 and the extra confidence it gives you only adds the the experience and enjoyment in my opinion

Do you have the specifics for alignment and the coil-overs? I added MCS 2-way remote dampers to my PDK GT4 and have the alignment set at -2.5 F and -2 R camber, with corrected caster from thrust arm bushings and rear-end toe links and the steering wheel likes to jerk around in my hand when going over rough and uneven pavement. It doesn't trampline and tracks straight, but the steering wheels is very "lively" which gets tiring rather quickly. My toe is set at 2mm total toe in on the front and the rear is 4mm total toe in.

What a beast and now with the man peddle. Only one major flaw with this car: The driver needs to be sitting slightly West of the position in this car. (Proper left hand steering?)

Anyone driving pretty much any modern Porsche - the single best thing you can do for sound is to fit 200 cell cats. OE are big purposefully to help muffle the sound. You only get that real Porsche sound by getting rid of those sonic restrictions.

@@982evo Thanks for the response! I suspect I am not in the same tax bracket as you are so am a bit concerned about the longevety of the engine with so much power. I did get a used 2016 GT4 with lots of aero and intake/exhaust upgrades. More power is the last thing I could do to it, but I honestly feel like it is already a beast. I would love to keep those turbos from catching me in the straights on track though. I assume you have not received negative reports on reliability of the engine post upgrade. Thanks, again.

@Declan4253 2 жыл бұрын

For those of you who like track days, the stock gearing is preferrable to shorter gearing in my view. If you would like to optimize the car for driving on public roads at slower speeds than I can see the arguement for shorter gearing. On track, however, you are going fast enough even through sharp turns that you don't probably need second gear at all and if you do you would be glad it red lines at the speed it does. You have absolutely no problem keeping it in the upper power band of the rpm with the stock gearing on track.

The exhaust note still needs a lot of work. I would just do the gearing and exhaust and cal it a day. They changed too much on this car for my liking. It didn't need aero, suspension, or brakes ect. Shake Porsche didn't fix the gearing on the final Cayman
