I can usually beat C&D 1/4 mile times. They run their cars with a full tank of fuel.

I am definitely biased here but the GTS 4.0 is going to be a future classic considering this is the last gen NA and ICE Cayman.

The best non-racecar ICE Cayman ever built!

at least, that’s what I keep telling myself

Didn’t they say it was good but not good enough to be top 10?

Maybe that was Motortrend

Likely one of the best everyday usable sports car you can currently buy

Sweet, and it's the same color as mine, although I have Espresso and Cognac leather. I have to agree with just about everything they said, and a dongle cures the lack of wireless carplay.

A good article to remind you how good you got it (since the mind wanders to the "next one").

I own a 2021 BGTS4 and this line caught my attention in the article: One editor wondered why there was no on/off switch for the rev-matching feature and why it was always operating in Sport and Sport+ drive modes. (Turn off stability control in Sport and Sport+ modes to disable rev-matching –Ed.) I'm wondering if this is unique to the '22? I tried it on mine last night and it was a no-go.

I have a 22 CGTS. I believe what they are referring to is if you switch PSM to completely off, then ARM is switched off. In normal PSM and PSM Sport modes, ARM is on.

Thanks Roadrunner, I appreciate it. Does switching PSM completely off require something more than pushing the button? ARM is fine but I like working the downshift and engine braking myself - good old analog...

PSM off is basically no traction or stability control. I would only use it in a control environment, not on road. To enable PSM Sport, press the button briefly. To disable PSM, press button for 2-3 seconds.

Personally I don't see PSM off as a solution to disable ARM. Its kinda ridiculous that Porsche didn't add a separate button for ARM in the GTS, or at least as a selectable option in the Individual mode. Doesn't bother me really, as I am a convert to ARM and happy to have it active.
