Is it not the same as "PSM Off"?

It is more like the new options with the 718
and 991.2 though they have the option of no traction contol with Stability contol which would be ideal for many.

Both together yes, since PSM=ESC + T/C... but can't switch them off separately, like on GT cars. However, I'm almost sure PSM comes back on if ABS is activated, something that might not happen on GT cars. Not sure, but hopefully we can get answers from the experts. I haven't pushed my car with PSM off yet, since I don't feel it makes the car any quicker, and sliding only wears the tires quicker, so why. But maybe other more aggressive/track drivers can chime in

.Agreed, the GTS is my wifes and she drives with full nanies but when I drive there is some intervention. Really the ideal for her would be more like or Z06 where I can choose from several levels but I will take what I can get as her GTS is so much more fun!

You could also use sport+, which relaxes the nannies more than sport. I like everything in sport (which I use 100% of the time), but since I always drive in manual mode, switching to sport+ wouldn't make any difference except the more relaxed nannies (same thing for a manual car), plus faster/jerkier shifts, which I don't like or need. In auto, sport+ shifts at redline, which is pretty much useless except at the track at full tilt. In sport, PDK shifts are almost instantaneous, so why stress the drivetrain more. If I ever feel the need to drift to finish off a set of tires or something, could always switch it to sport+ or PSM off, but typically don't like to abuse my cars.
