Sharkwerks Cayman GT4 Sunrise Drive Down Pacific Coast Hwy to Big Sur

Join this Sharkwerks Cayman GT4 and its owner for a sunrise drive down Highway 1 to Big Sur!
The car was reborn as a better GT car than it left the factory new. Nothing was left out:
A 997 GT3 intake and throttle body were fitted along with a larger IPD plenum for better breathing.
An EVOMSit Tune stepped up the math game big time and allows occasional 100 octane fun rides.
A single-mass flywheel with Sachs competition clutch.
New Guard Transmission gearing with Lower ratio 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears and a more aggressive LSD.
Cargraphic competition long tube headers with 200 cell cats.
Carbon fiber canards, taller wing risers from SalterAero, and a stripe kit from KI Studios.

wow! I just met this guy on the road this morning driving this car on hwy 1! he is up to 145k miles now! he was very cool to talk with for a few minutes. I got to chase him back up on our way north! One of the best drives of my life!

[@Sh0SUPERMAN]

So well articulated and cinematic

[@BatDimen]

Awesome. That naturally aspirated flat 6 just sounds so good.

[@CarTalesOfficial]

Bat Dimen those rock walls bring out so much character in the sound of the 3.8. The sounds I heard while shooting this video will forever be ingrained in my memory.

[@billbligh4547]

You can see why Porsche used these roads to launch the new Turbo S and Speedster. Good to watch a local use what Zuffenhausen und Shakwerks created for moving zen. Great vid tyvm.

[@CarTalesOfficial]

Bill Bligh thanks for watching! Getting to experience highway 1 in the passenger seat in this car was truly something else. The sound coming off the rocks and echoing through the canyons is ingrained in my memory. The lightweight flywheel and shorter gear ratios add so much life to an already spectacular platform.

Without a doubt one of my favourite videos on the internet.

[@1fujimonk]

Nicely done! What a car and kudos to the respect given to all of those involved in getting this perfect driver’s weapon justice. Simply impressive and inspiring to see mileage on such a car, thank you for sharing! Big Sur is now on my list of must do with my GT3-T.

[@CarTalesOfficial]

Fuji Monk glad you enjoyed it! The owner is a true car enthusiast and I highly recommend you make the trip to Big Sur. Early mornings are the best if you want to avoid the crowds 👌🏼

[@1fujimonk]

Car Tales Absolutely! Thanks for sharing this great video of yours. I’m in for the ride ASAP! 😋

[@antsolom]

What a beautifully made video! Artistic, cinematic and quite philosophical, well done sir!

[@mrmando69]

Well done Sir. This video is worthy of millions of views. Thoughtful, touching and passionate. Thank you for your efforts.

[@noiseguys53]

Loved the video, it was most inspiring. I drove the same route in my 911S this weekend, it was an incredible ride, on the way north. On the way back down south, I hit a rock slide about half way between Monterey and Cambria, unfortunately got a puncture in my front tire. No cell service, fortunately met up with the California highway patrol officer that presented your good self with a ticket last month. Most inspiring ride, now I understand why I bought a 911.

[@Aadyi]

This completely summarized that "magic" of our love for cars and the emotions that come with it.

[@alexaccent]

Can’t stop re watching. A perfect video. Inspiring a road trip soon. Just beautiful .

[@drbfitk366]

Really enjoyed your video. Alex at Sharkwerks is awesome. They took a stock 981 GT4 & redefined it. Just watch Harry Catchpole driving the Sharkwerks GT4 on Angeles Crest Hwy & giving you an honest opinion, he doesn't even have to speak & you know what the car does to human emotion.

[@2987alexw]

Beautiful video. Sub! Glad to see your GT4 gets used rather than sitting in a garage waiting for its value to go up.

[@CarTalesOfficial]

Alex Waterhouse thank you! The owner certainly is getting the most out of his ownership. As a matter of fact, this is his second GT4. Not a bad retirement plan of you ask me :)

[@RZFitnessTV]

0:51 - 1:02; that shot was insane. Incredible perspective.

[@jovitv3274]

I just bought a 2016 one in Carrera White last weekend instead of the new Corvette. I can’t wait to take it out on some nice spirited drives! I really loved watching this video. One of my favorites in aesthetics and sound. Could listen to that exhaust all day.

[@CarTalesOfficial]

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with your decision. It is an amazing car, especially when you add a few touches from Sharkwerks. Glad you enjoyed the video and enjoy your new GT4!

[@AlphaGT4]

This car sounds absolutely gorgeous

[@marios_gavrilis]

What a car. What a view. What a video. Thank you!

[@benbrown5913]

This guy's zen, comfortable-with-life demeanor is as impressive as the car, which is pretty damn impressive.

[@zaheedevans3]

Great video - maybe a series on your favourite driving broads with the GT4 and food destinations is brewing!

[@SM-eu5xl]

Amazing video production! Earned a sub

[@johngoyer]

The opening overlooking the ocean literally made me gasp! Thanks for this video.

[@TDS981]

Great cinematic shots, driven this years ago sadly in a rental but it's still a great experience. You would probably like what's in my back yard too👍

[@CarTalesOfficial]

Test Drive Scotland would love to make it out to Scotland. The scenery out there is breathtaking

[@jonjames7328]

I really couldn’t give a monkeys about this bloke’s Porsche. All I wanted was some lovely views and the sound of a flat six being given the beans. Yes I’ve had my own but no I don’t live in California. At least I managed some decent speed one early morning on my way to Lands End.

I hope to own a GT4 within the next 12 months. Forever been a fan of porsche since a child and still have all my porsche model cars I bought from the main dealer as a child. I wonder if there’s a similar company to sharkwerks in the Uk where I can look at adding some extra cells once I get mine.

[@CarTalesOfficial]

leerud69 it is such a great car and Sharkwerks does some amazing work! I know they have some clients in the UK so you might look into them when the time comes and you have your own GT4.

[@peterwaikolea9049]

Thank you. This has the most beautiful philosophy and sentiment. Very artfully done and inspires me to set up a drive with my young adult son from LA to SF on PCH.

[@coleweinstein8910]

This is amazing

[@markharwood4846]

A really exceptional video. Hat off to you. Loved watching it. Are you still enjoying your Sharkified GT4? Have you had to do any work to the suspension during the 80,000+ miles (eg new dampers etc?). I’ve just purchased a 981 GT4 and have very similar plans for it that you have undertaken.

[@achintyaaatreya]

Fantastic,I am not going without subscribing. And by the way, Porsches are reliable. Don't take my word for it. Just go to 3:15.

[@JamR0ck]

Love that wing

[@CarTalesOfficial]

SalterAero risers give it a bit more of an aggressive look 👌🏼

[@MOXinFL]

@@CarTalesOfficial I love their risers on my GT4. The V1’s for the win.

Thanks Nick! I have many more to come 🤙🏻

[@English2Elvish]

Wonderful video and have some questions. I (in Canada too btw) am tempted by a used 2020 GT4, low mileage. However, they are asking OVER the MSRP price of this car and the GT4 RS is around the corner (that said, so will the new GT3 RS). I don't have enough yet for the GT3 RS, but I could squeeze the GT4... all the mods you listed are the stuff of gold and what I would plan on doing (with little variation, you hit the key notes). I plan to drive but also track. I do prefer the smaller, 2 seater layout of the GT4, perhaps even more so than the 911s, but here is the question; by the time I buy the car, add all the modifications (not cheap) I will still be left with a car in the shadow somewhat of the GT3 RS (esp on track, the Cayman Complex they say...). I MUCH prefer a manual and I do suspect that for a GT4 RS it'll be PDK only and still a notch behind what theGT3 RS offers for total performance. It's a tough one.
