I loved the interior of the GTS I borrowed. Alcantara with carbon and yellow stitching will look really good, the GTS was the same with red, but it was a red car. If I went red I would change to red and go with red belts like I had in my GT3

This is where I am with the spec for a GT4, colour I need to think about, but don't think Ceramics make sense for track/road use. Outside of that I don't need extra lights or suchlike so this seems a fair spec.
Ceramics would be a must for me so unless this is a dedicated track car I'd be choosing them

Do that then brah, gt4 can't be dull inside (resale value will need to be in mind though)
Carmine or Guards red for me if I was buying.
OT a bit - but the yellow calipers of the carbon brakes look out of place IMO unless the car itself is yellow, black, dark grey maybe and erm that's it.. Anyone think porsche should offer a choice of caliper colour given they'll let you change and option up nearly everything else?

If they are really going to get more cars I am 6 or 7th on the list at my local OPC so may just be able to get my self one.

This would be my choice, if I was to spec a GT4:

Id agree with this, now I have them on my car. The give much better feel over the standard brakes.

I'm baised as I perfer the White / Silver. However, I am not a fan of the red dails.

Really loving the your yellow interior detail Gibbo. Sadly I think if I'm ever in the position to get into a 911 it'll be whatever I can afford rather than holding out for something a bit special.
996 turbos seem to be holding their value really well, in fact they've gone up a little. I think we're close to the point that the mere mortal won't be able to get near a 911 turbo any more. The 996 is going to be out of sight soon as the ropey examples are written off by chavs and the minty fresh ones are left.

That looks so much better with a alcantara wheel .
All 911's have appreciated even the 996 models which was the most unloved with 993 and 997 variations seeming to be the favourite and most sought after.
Still I remember 996's dropping to as little as 7k yet now all 996 911's are back over 10k with the nicer ones around 15k.
Like you say a real nice example of a 996 is the well spec'd C4S examples and they still fetch good money, just like aerokit 997's are now fetching very good money.
From what I've read they're pretty much bomb proof. The main issue owners seem to face are rusting bolts and wastegate seizure. When they do go wrong they cost a fair bit to fix, but they are a lot more robust than the 3.4 and 3.6 996's. Prices are climbing.
