Time to get back on the track. So we picked up a 2021 718 GT4 that will do double duty (street and track). We wont go as crazy as we did with the BMW M2 as this base car is far more capable than the M2. We will be working with Edge Motorworks in Fremont to help us get the car sorted for the track.
About The Car
We are the second owner and we picked it up with about 7k miles on it. It is a 2021 718 GT4 with PDK, Porsche carbon racing seats, steel brakes, and some extra leather bits. The color is a Porsche custom color called oak green metallic. Our mods will be focused on safety, better handling, better stopping power, and faster laps.

Past Owners
Got to love non-CA states that pass along prior owner records. Looks like the original owner traded in the GT4 for something else at a Porsche dealer. That dealer passed it along in auction where it ended up at a Mini dealer in GA which is where we bought the car from. Not much service was done before we took it over due to the low milage.
