Trade to GT4?
I know what many on this forum will say about this...but I need some solid input.
Ive always loved the GT4 and I found one in perfect condition will hardly any miles and certified. I miss the feel of a manual tranny and a high revving engine. 2 of my favorite cars from back in the day that I owned were the Integra Type R and S2000 (both stolen BTW.)
Of course, it won’t have the power delivery and I’ll take a $$$ hit. In regards to the money, the Turbo S just keeps losing value and it seems the GT4 may actually be worth more with time (its already priced higher than MSRP.)
Also, I never considered tracking the TTS, but I can actually see myself tracking the GT4 a few times a year.
Am I crazy? Will I regret it after a while? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Different cars for sure, and I have driven a GT4 that was set up for the track. Its an incredible car and I can see why anyone would want it. Would I trade my TTS for it? NO.
I am considering picking up a 350GT as a manual vehicle that is fun to drive and perhaps track.
Good luck and don't put too much weight in what others say. Its your life, money and happiness ! Enjoy it.

Nobody can predict if you will regret the move or not, just try to spend more seat time in a GT4 before you buy

Thanks for everyone’s replies. I went to the dealership to take a better look at the GT4, and I realized I would be giving up way too much to make the change. Not to mention, the extra money I’d have to put into the trade. The turbo is here to stay! Maybe I need to get another mod to keep me happy. The recent thread with the TPC DSC has sparked some interest in me.

A very wise decision. The early GT4 3.8's will quickly lose value when the 4.0's hit the street. My local dealer has an early GT4 they can't sell even at blow-out prices. The 11-13 TTS will continue to be a much admired and desired car. JMO-

The GT4's are holding their prices VERY well. Local cars have sold and are still selling for $ 100k, very good money for even the earlier ones.
But...I would definitely never own one. Bluntly put, they are slow and very undepowered. They need another 100hp at the very least. They are fun, they perform well, but you have just compared it to two cars that are just that - comparable to that car.
For $ 100k, you are buying a car that "feels" fast, that is loads of fun and that looks good. If that is what you are after, by all means, do it - nobody would blame you for it. And like others have said, it is YOUR money.
