Lol, hell no will it be faster than a 991.1 tts, it would get embarassed by one.

with pure software, that car should push 500HP easy.

thats GT3RS territory. and simple enough to bolt on aero.

suspension may not be as refined compared to RS.

but, gets me thinkin'...

TTS with equal tires and the right specs is faster then an RS.

Yep, and that's my point. At least on the N'ring, I expect the new GTS to be slower than the 991.1 TTS which is slower than the 991.1 GT3.

Yup, the gts will be slower everywhere when compared to a 991.1 TTS and don't even want to mention the 991.2 TTS.

Sure the engine with the extra torque will be right there with the GT3 but it sure as hell won't regarding feel, sound or heavy tracking. BUt that's not what it's designed for in its defense.

Porsche are very clever regarding their endless variants somehow not quite Canabalizing each other and the GTS is no exception.

I do some driving in the mountains so maybe even the GTS 4.

Haven't 5-lugs been an option on the GTS?

Does this mean a powerkit will become available for the standard Carrera S?

I have to say o just picked up a 17 c2s and I'm sold. I looked for 6 months for a 991.1 gts and couldn't find one that dealers weren't marking up. The turbos are actually a hoot and coupled with a manual, I'm loving it.

Plan to be first on the list to get one ordered.
