Higest Spec GTS for sale at the time, ie has every thing. And I mean everything £94k list. Just no LED due to how hard these were to spec at the time, but has xexon adaptive lights.
After a few GT cars and now my 15 Porsche, These seemed to fit what I wanted, heart said GT4, head said GTS and I 100% made the right choice.
This one has the PASM Sport option so 20mm lower, stiffer Springs and stiffer front and rear ARB over no Sport PASM. people do think it's just lower but the PASM sport is a different chassis with new spring rates and ARB's.
Went PDK to get the shorter gearing !!! but I do drive it in manual mode 100% of the time. You also get a slight torque increase with PDK.
People are def right, later cars are louder than early cars, I still have my 718 Spyder 2019 the GTS is much louder, so much so no exhaust needed, just a flap controller which I will get, the car sounds great imo maybe the coupe also helps over a soft top.
Took a while to get a deal done, got £16.5k off and a full machine polish done. def the time to do deals with OPC's.
No one would personally spec this high, it was their show case car to see what you can pick and choose from, and was the only one in Python green on the market with PASMS of course that colour was discontinued and is now a £8k option also.
I love having every option, a load of leather on every thing and even Adaptive cruise control. Every thing is Silver stitched inside even the door sills and fuse box covers. to add £21k options in a Cayman... with out the PCCBS's is mental.
This is a daily, as a very wise man said to me the other day when I asked him "what his Fav Porsche is" he reply was "The one you get to drive" and it made me realise I don't want GT cars any more sitting doing 2k miles a year scared of miles.
I still have my 718 SPyder as stated and some of you may know I built a very nice 997 GTS 2wd manual weekend car with Ohlins,Recaro's etc for my retirement garage car. My 987 Spyder sadly had to be sold to fund the 997 GTS project after 11 years ownership.
Got 32mpg on the way home from Cardif, but in a car which can record a 0-60mph time of 3.7 seconds and circa 180mph, the 4.0 engine really is very strong.
I'll get a slight geo on it for my style of driving, but happy to also have the PS4S tyres as standard over other brands which can come on these cars.
If Brian stops by Hi I am in a PDK ;-)
I really did try not to buy a Another Porsche, But for £100k or less as a drivers car you can use nothing else really come close and for me cars now over £100k are just too hard to look after, insure sell on etc.
GT cars now all too track biased/hard and miles sensitive so not much else about, I looked at the AMG GTR's now £95k but a bit wide and on cups 's not really a daily. BMW's Mercs etc don't drive as well and all got too big ! new M2 was ugly and very heavy.
Alpines a bit too small and tinny for me so back to Porsche it was.
