Just for grins I specced my stripper C2S in .2 trim as well. $128k. For a car with no leather, no power or heated seats, no dimming mirrors, and no radio. We really are all nuts.

I've got a SB GTS Targa. Removed all the black bits at the factory except for the rear hatch and tail pipe ends.

Silver is the new Black

This is the new GTS ad. It is awesome. Porsche marketing is the best of the best.

My opinion is that the 997 GTS & 981 Cayman GTS are the most attractive of the bunch.
The 718 Cayman GTS will be interesting.

Color-matched wheels are interesting

I thought briefly about replacing my .1 with a .2. There is a price increase of $2265 when you consider that SPASM and Back-up camera are standard now. That doesn't bother me, and I like that it is even faster, but it just doesn't seem as unique as the .1. Looking at the back of the .1, it has the signature grille that is not available on any other model, not so on the .2. The lack of a central radiator in front throws me off even more, the fake opening just bothers me. The interior is identical to the .1 with the exception of the wheel, and I already added the GT wheel to mine. I like the new wheels, but to my eye the .1 wheels look are more aggressive. The central exhaust looks great in black, but it isn't going to sound as good as a .1. I doubt that many .1 owners will swap up to the .2, but I may be wrong. I think if I had anything but a .1 GTS I would be all over the .2. I do wish I had front axel lift and RWS on my car, but still not enough to let go of the .1.

I have ordered the sensors, no camera. Still £600 though. Something you would get as standard on a £10,000 car!!!!

I have back up cameras in all my cars, I feel naked w/o. Had to have an aftermarket unit installed in the 428i, but it works great. I think some of the aftermarket BU cameras are wireless now, might be an option for your car.
