I wonder why that guy in the video said it's only 5500 pounds to repair or whatever but it's $25k-$30k from the guys who have had it done.

Yeah, I noticed that too. The one guy on Rennlist who posted the pics of the Porsche frame jigs being used looked like the front half of the car's frame was being rebuilt. The guy in that vid says he can do it by just moving some stuff out of the way.I wonder why that guy in the video said it's only 5500 pounds to repair or whatever but it's $25k-$30k from the guys who have had it done.

Many different cars are using cast aluminum strut towers now for weight savings. The Alfa Romeo Giorgio platform (Giulia, Stelvio) also has a large cast aluminum strut tower section but has structural ribbing throughout. It seems Porsche lacks structural ribbing reinforcement just as an observation.Well, the Alpha platform uses aluminum for the front shock towers, although they have a hell of a lot more bracing compared to the GT4.
Same here. However, there is that feeling that I will have sellers remorse if I get rid of the R.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.
I'm keeping two Rs. The TY R will have to go to make room for the 500. If the 500 doesn't work out (which I hope is not the case), then I will be looking hard at the GT3 or RS.Are you thinking of trading in or adding the RS to the stable?
If I only had one, I would be very resistant to sell it.Same here. However, there is that feeling that I will have sellers remorse if I get rid of the R.
Especially THAT failure.I like the GT4 but dayum, no way would I consider a car that has structural failure
