The 4.0s always been hard to come by. Everyone is of the same mindset. Buy a 718 before Porsche discontinues it for the EV replacement.

GT4(regular) is discontinued for 2024 going forward. Not that I would have been able to stretch the budget for it anyway. If you want a flat 6 718, you’ve got to go GTS or GT4 RS/Spyder, and there’s a huge price gap between the two, not counting markups. I would love to have a GTS, as it would have ‘only’ cost me $12k…

I’m surprised no Porsches made it to this list. They raised MSRP by $5k minimum for MY2024, and added zero extras. In fact, they even removed standard features and raised the price. I.E. the base 718 Boxster/Cayman used to have the sport exhaust as standard, but was quietly removed for MY2024.

You must be new here. This is Jalopnik. They could post something 100% of people could agree about and randoms would fight and write dissertations about why random 1 agrees more than random 2. Then random 3 would enter the chat, science the hell out of the argument, and devise a mathematical formula about why it is…

My apologies. I forgot your generation exists.

Toss up between millennials, zoomers, and boomers. I am a millennial.

If thieves are that organized, they know exactly how long desirable vehicles sit on holding lots for. Hell, I’d even venture to say that the thieves waited for this many Broncos to be sitting out in the lot because they knew that they were not going to be loaded on to the train for delivery any time soon. One big hit…

Crazy right? Porsche charges $1650 for delivery charges from Germany. They usually arrive in the general time frame given to you by the dealer. And every single new Porsche being delivered, from a base, no options Macan to a $300k 911 Turbo S, is transported in an enclosed trailer. Every. Single. One.

“Supply chain issues”

GM has a Kentucky plant that makes the C8s and while their stuff doesn’t get stolen with the frequency of Michigan plants, the delays in shipping already assembled vehicles are the same. You need only look in the Corvette forums.

Porsche’s destination charge for a Cayman S is $1650. Ford’s destination charge for a Dark Horse Mustang is $1595. You are right about volume. However, if Ford can sell 4.2 million cars worldwide, they can afford to invest in better security and more efficient logistics.

Victim blaming? Maybe, sure. But if other car makers that assemble their cars in the US aren’t having this thievery and ‘supply chain issues’, then the problem lies with American car makers. If you don’t want your shit stolen, don’t make it easy to steal. Thieves will always be around. And multi-billion dollar…

These have probably been sitting around for weeks, if not months after they were built. Thieves suck, but if Ford got these shipped to dealers within a reasonable timeframe(let’s say no more than 1-2 weeks after assembly), then there wouldn’t be as many thefts. This delay in shipping isn’t just a Ford issue either. GM…

Ouch. I live close to an MSRP only Toyota dealer. No add-ons or BS accessories, and you can use your own financing without added pricing. But obviously, there are wait times for specific cars.

You can science the hell out of this all you want, but in the context of real world automotive performance, aluminum alloys and carbon fiber outperform steel. Steel frames are great if you intend to hit objects or tow heavy shit. Those two tasks are not what supercars are designed to do.

Yea okay. What are you smoking? How many $300k+ 200+ MPH supercars and hypercars exclusively use a heavy steel unibody? The answer is none of them. Hell, the damn C7 Corvette uses an aluminum chassis and there are literal tens of thousands of high mileage examples all over the country. You’re full of shit. A $300k car…

Maybe all that active aero and sophisticated inboard rear suspension will keep it from mowing down bystanders.

Even if the GT3 is slower, I’d still buy it over the GTD. The engine in the GT3 is befitting of a $300k car.

According to this C&D article about 3 paragraphs down, it starts its life as a $40k Mustang chassis.
