How do you go about the rear badges? I want a full wrap but I want to retain the badging. I worry about a precut area for the badge retaining dirt over time

here's the thing that most people don't think about. You actually need the seems to show. It means when time comes to replace the PPF, you don't have to take off panels and run into breaking clups, or clip holders. As cars age, ppf tend to yellow or stain. Also plastic becomes brittle and harder to take off without breaking.

Hi, what is the top spec with all options (except for pccb)? I ask so I know what a top spec would have when I start looking to buy one this year.

Thanks man, this is helpful. I'm in the market for a fun weekend car and had it narrowed down to a gen 5 Viper or a 718 GT4. I didn't like the Viper's driving position and sadly had to walk away from my first choice. I'm now searching for a GT4 like yours: three pedals, buckets, steel brakes.

you know it’s a great car when the two only complaints are the gas cap and the center console. I would’ve gotten the zo6 but it took me long enough flipping a bunch of cars to get to the $40k needed for the stingray I got, hopefully once I finish school I’m able to find a real job that pays me enough for a c7 or c8 zo6 depending on whenever that is lol

Yeah it’s an amazing car man. I driven a lot of cars, but nothing beats the c7 z06 for its price point. I love my GT4 too but it’s not 2x the better car. Something about the C7Z so really rough to get out of. It’ll be a forever car for me

I have a GT4 and S2k, they are similar high-revving cars with a raw feeling. S2000 is more raw however, but GT4 is far more capable, not just in terms of speed but handling, braking, just a far more composed and sorted car. Love my S2000 still though :)

OAPs are good if you don't mind the not so good raspy tone of the OEM PSE (i hate it, not like my old 981). The absence of X-pipe on open-valves setting is partially to blame, makes it sound like 2 three-cylinders having an argument. I tried Akra Ti OAPs, now i am selling them for a Kline cat-back. 6MT is the best I ever rowed, even after MGW the C7 shifter isn't as good. If you do the short gearing 2-5 and Ninemeister single mass flywheel, you will absolutely love it - fixes the only GT4/Spyder flaw.

I daily drove a manual 718 GT4 with carbon buckets for 3yrs and 36k miles… they’re totally fine. Yes, they’re slightly tougher to get into and out of but not prohibitively so. It’s worth it. The seats are comfortable, and they enhance the feel of the car. Also, get the manual. These cars are going away.

Great video, but I didn’t love the “z06 or grand sport” at the end haha. What about Stingray haha? I get it, people want the best / highest trim, but if we’re honest the Stingray Z51 with magRide 7Mt is more than enough car and is basically the same as the Grand Sport for street use (obviously Grand Sport is better on track). And as much as I love the z06, o actually think the NAs are more fun on street because you can rev them out a little more. Love my z51 7MT 3LT and I’ll never sell it!

Sorry for late response on this. I just happen to find this video. I own a 21 Gt4 and the OAPs are connected between your headers and the muffler. They are almost V shaped pipes, one on each side. I replaced mine back when I purchased the car. Makes such a huge difference in sound that you don't need to upgrade your muffler.

Thank you. That black hood bump (accentuated or reinforced by the carbon roof) really pops against the gold ........ besides upping the ante on standard competition yellow. The only reservation I would have against getting the wrap in that color would be the potential traffic hazard of folks pulling up besides or behind me to ogle the gold! - something I'm pretty sure you have experienced more after getting the gold :) Corleone, G. @@crointhevette
