Re: 718 Cayman S vs Cayman GT4
Nice video and comparison between the 2 cars.
IIRC, 21.5 seconds difference between the two cars, but one was on real street tires (718S).
OTOH the 718 had a PDK, probably worth 1.5/2.0 seconds per lap. I guess a PDK equipped 718S running Cup 2 tires will be very competitive with the GT4.
I must have missWent back and looked at the MSRP pricing on the video and the 718S had a sticker of roughly $95K--similar to what the GT4's base price differenwas. Except, with a base price between of $67K that Cayman had nearly $30K worth of options. If you kept the two, but options skinny--19" rims, sport + seats, sport PASM and a few other do dads, it had to be might sticker at least$75K --or more than $20K. less than the GT4.

I must have missed the MSRP price difference between the two, but it had to be at least $20K.
