I had a 70 thousand dollar Cayman S. The GT4 is in a whole other league and another 30 thousand dollars.

Depends on the usage. I had a Cayman S. On the track, the mid-engine of the GT4 coupled with the lighter weight would be my choice--which is not to say that the Shelby isn't great either. I think the Shelby (slightly higher seating position, what I assume is more storage) would be better as a daily. The Cayman has exceptional balance, which makes it very good yet boring. While I have not driven a GT4, I ultimately did not bond with my Cayman S.

He did the GT3. Great car, and I've been thinking the same (or RS) (waiting on the 500). He'll be along I'm sure...

GT4 is the one other car I would have considered near the price range of the R. There are times when I'd prefer the smaller size of the GT4, but that's also because I was used to smaller cars prior to getting the R.

Very curious how this turns out. I'm thinking about selling my 2017 GT350 for a GT4. Easy to say when the GT350 has not been driven since October. I may change my mind as soon as the snow melts and the salt is cleared off the roads so I can drive it again.

Until Porsche has a fix for the strut tower failure issues on the GT4 (if a fix is even possible), I'd avoid them, especially for the difference in price.

I have seen reports about the strut tower failure and transmission. Have not been able to find any statistics on how pervasive a problem this is (what is the failure rate). Anyone have any idea?
Is a similar issue as seen with our GT350 engine failures where some have reported but the overall number seems to be low?

Could be, but if my GT350 engine fails, I can always just replace the engine. I don't know how you would even begin to fix the strut tower failure issue, especially if the car is out of warranty. I do know someone who had the strut tower failure on his low-mileage GT4, on his second track day with the car. In his case, Porsche sent a tech out and bought the car back from him literally on the spot, and he traded up to a GT3RS. That would not be an option for me, though...
