Well, I was hyped for the 911/50. I wanted a wide body/RWD/X-51. It gave me all 3 as a package so I was pumped. The GTS is similar...maybe better if you want the center lock wheels.

You're not the only one.

What was included in the $2060 Sport Package and when did it disappear?

I think the consensus candidate for the greatest 'bargain' right now in the Porsche range is the '991 gt3' stripper. Concentrate on the first photo and ignore the second...if you can.

Yes, the GT3 stripper is really a great deal. Would that make GTS the second greatest deal, then?

BTW, it is hard to "ignore" the second photo. What a nice derriere! (I mean, the car.)

Me too, I don't drink the GTS cool-aid. Sure, if you *must* have all of those options, then it is a "bargain" discounted package, and I wish you all the happiness that you desire.

I'm still stunned that I paid as much as I did for my car. It was just silly expensive, and has like only 6 options on it...

That "stripper" GT3 looks very, very expensive...

So are we getting a 991.2 next month in LA?

Z356

Nein! That would just mess up marketing & selling prices (thus dealer Profit & Loss) for the rest of the .1 991 allocations dealers have to sell until at minimum next summer (2015)! But I also thought it would be stupid to introduce a .1 991 GTS model this late into the MY2015 year, so take what I say with a grain of salt!

Maybe GT3RS but doubt it probably Geneva.

I agree in general that the GTS saves money and gives you some special features (wide-body in RWD). The other advantage is that on resale, I think the value will be better for a higher trim than a bunch of options. If one is not interested in these options, then it's no big deal.

However, it is definitely true that I was hoping for more - I was doubtful they'd put the GT3's PDK or the RWS here, but I'm disappointed to not see the steering software/calibration make it here. That's not a performance thing, so it wouldn't have robbed the GT3 of any allure. Not that the steering is bad, but knowing that there's a better system so easily reachable is hard to stomach.

The GTS seems to be no more than the 911/50 but with the option of 4wd and convertible. Right?

Both the GTS and the 50th are optioned out bargains, in my book. You get the GTS, instead of a 50th, if:

* You want it brand new (now).
* You don't like the special 50th styling.
* You want more freedom with exterior/interior color options.
* You love Alcantara.
* You want centerlocks.
* You want an aerokit car.
* You want AWD.
* You want a cab.

Keadog

Good list. I would add more color choices than the 50th of course. I wanted AWD and none of the others above (well, new because I have some specific options I want that aren't commonly ordered together it seems, though a low mileage CPO car that had what I wanted would have been fine).
I have to say I saw a Geyser Grey 50th waiting to be delivered on one of my trips to the dealer earlier in the year and let's just say none of the pictures I saw did that color justice. I thought it looked great in person.
I want a car by next spring and the GTS is the best choice for me, even though my MSRP will be about the same as a base TT.
I'm sure the next iteration will be "better and faster".
