I dealt with this over the weekend... JK they were all cool, met Cayman GT4 owners that loved the 427 car

Love the color. I’m probably in the minority but I don’t like the high wing
I'm gonna pull a @DrewDown and probably change this order like 11 more times

Shipping the '71 off in a few weeks to be converted to EFI, coil on plug, and Masters ECU to control it all. The Webers are leaking and I don't have reliable access to ethanol-free fuel where I live.
This rats nest will look so much better without the distributor and tired wiring:
While the fan, shroud, and engine bay won't be quite this clean as my engine is old, the wiring will look very similar to this:

I don't even have an allocation yet so I'll probably update it 11 times with interior stitching and Burmester and then go back to a basic build and then load it up heavy with the forged wheels etc
Basically the only things that are set in stone are Ruby Star, rear axle steering, manual, bucket seats and the larger fuel tank
My build week was 7/18 with a freeze date of 4/29. Ukraine and the Felicity Ace sinking really delayed my order

How much is that going to cost you? not going to rebuild some of the internals w/ that work?

About $14,000 to include all new fuel lines, pump, replacing the old tank, and dyno tuning.
No, no reason to tear down an engine with no indication of major issues.

I hope it all goes well - how does the mod affect it's resale value ultimately? Seems like a reasonable upgrade that will make living with the car easier.

I suspect it will add dollar-for-dollar value to the car. The engine isn't original anyway and it would have come with Zenith carbs, not Webers as it currently has. I'm also having the Webers rebuilt to sell on BaT - I should recoup 5 - 6k of the cost with that.

Went and got an M6 ATS-V three weeks ago and haven’t driven the Cayman since. 🫤Need to go get it and knock some of the dust off.

Those were always fun cars. The 4dr is too small IMO (would have been great if it was similar size to the f80), the auto wasn’t hot garbage, had a digital dash, and updated CUE.
That said, an m6 coupe is a really fun car to drive
I know it's blasphemy, but I actually feel like the driving dynamics are better than the ones my F82 had, even after having coded the diff and the steering.

The atsv chassis has always gotten rave driving dynamic reviews. Fun 500wheel coupe for sure

Friend just called and said he got notice that there won’t be any gt3rs in PTS. Had to change his order from mint 
Someone made some serious choices
