You can chuck $20k at the aforementioned Lotus to get to 450 / tonne if you really want I spose. SimplySportsCars will be more than happy to take your money. Just a dirty comparison to this franken-porsche option. Yeah just doing a second dirty comparison myself. But is it that thard to minimise lag on most factory bi turbo's?. Just have to take the plunge and select wisely based on my experience. . Eg remove majority lag on a budget on a mp4 12c = starts with hjs race cats setup and a carefully selected tune. Go for a bit more insta boost and up the $, . there is a purely bolt on hyper kit for usd 20k (headline price) that sorts that lag out. ( they don't discriminate ( mp4 12c, 570, 650s) and unintended consequence is another circa 150chp per tonne.) +1 on the front running Franken-porsche option. I'm pencil whipping 25k engine mods + 16k core donor engine plus 3k clutch plus 5k gears /box plus 5 k exhaust + 3k ancillary parts + 1.5k tune plus 1.5k freight) x 1.5 ( fx and duties) and your got circa 3 pallets . Then if your not wrenching, circa $150 hrly rate adds up quick. Even allowing for the 30% tax deduction for a custom made 600 chp site dewatering pump, big bucks to add to a repaired WOVR gt4. Whats next again coin wise after now having the drivetrain ready to bolt up? Seat, cage, harness, suspension, brakes. Past $ 200k? Perhaps let Charlie K and Warrick be pioneering and lowball them after there got theirs all sorted as one might want to bail out early having ticked the box. sleazius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 25April, 2020 Report Share Posted 25April, 2020 A cheap GT4 with cage, seats, a few suspension bits, exhaust and intake mods would be cheap enough and good fun. Let someone else do the DeMan thing and see what the end cost is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the dealer today to have a look. Seems to have had first service at 16km in Melbourne and then one more service at 19km or so in Sydney. Drill holes everywhere in the rear bar license plate area. Needs new tyres too with evidence of being tracked and brake discs are at least 50% gone. Couple stone chips in both front panels and bonnet. Still, looks clean, so I asked if I could take it out for a test drive. Nope- with dealer plates I need to have a dealer next to me. But the salesguy then asked what I want to offer for the car.... Ahhhh, think I will wait to take it for a drive first was my reply. Will be a good buy on the flip side of isolation Mike-S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheapie has been sitting a while probably because it’s modified with the Fabspeed GT450 kit which offers 400hp at the wheels (US$8.3k plus install). I assume most buyers prefer factory original so offer him $140k, throw in a $2k AGI half cage and a race seat/harness and it’d be a pretty good (& cheap for a Porsche with that performance) track car and weekender. https://www.agi-precision.com.au/product-category/roll-cages/cams-roll-cages/bolt-in/porsche/cayman-gt4/ https://freedparts.com/products/porsche-cayman-gt4-fabspeed-gt450-race-performance-package firstone, TwoHeadsTas and cafe_racer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the ad blurb of "Priced to sell, too many cars not enough garage space. Need funds for house deposit." Pick one mate, may as well have thrown in a new baby as a reason for selling too to ensure all bases covered.

This is before any mods like low cost boost upgrade, the GT4 is quicker on the same track due to the wider rubber.

HWY Posted 1February, 2021 Report Share Posted 1February, 2021 $140k including buyers commission..... before on road costs Seems about right for a car that needs new tyres, and possible other consumables.
