The Evo was no slouch... She was a ton of fun and an overall blast. Just felt it was time to move on... Getting older and my ownership experience in the last year with the evo soured.
Do you mind elaborate a little on how the first two motors blew and what problems caused your experience last year soured?

Thanks for the updates fellas. I tracked the GT4 last week and it was an absolute delight. The car was almost effortless to drive.

Great to see you have upgraded to a car that is worthy to be called an upgrade compared to the EvO. If you had bought that Focus RS well, You know

What kind of lap times did you do at the track? Ive buzzed around there more than a few times

Fantastic car. I'm sure you are absolutely loving it. The GT4 really is one of Porsche's most compelling cars, and for the money it is a **** ton of car. Really happy for you.

I mean it's a great car and all, but at 100k+ I wouldn't exactly call it a bargain...
