Now, the 600LT lust is real. Every time I drive one, it reminds me why I like lightweight cars. And cars that rotate.

The current GT4 is an massive push pig designed to make their owners feel like heros when "driving hard", and I don't expect that to change with the 718 GT4.

I've always liked the spyder for a cruiser though, but wish it had more feel. It's just too refined. Weird complaint, since it's plenty fast, and comfortable. I just want a little *less* comfort in a fairly hardcore car.
The ‘16 GT4 weighs in at 2955 and the 600LT at 2,989.

66lbs isn’t much. A battery and wheels and your decently close for 1/4 price without a carbon tub.

I’d agree the power in the 600 can mask its weight to feel even lighter, but I’d say a gt4 is quite fun to throw around- It rotates well and outperforms it’s HP rating. Much like the BRZ.
