Here are my feeble thoughts:
The winner is everyone. Thank you Porsche!
GTS - for the daily driver. More useable torque from the down low.
GT3 Touring - for the more high strung experience. Better for track and backroad driving.
having an E90 M3 and a 991.2 C4S, I get that high strung experience so I don't feel the need to jump out and buy a GT3 Touring. If I was Porscheless and didn't have the M3, I'd go GT3 Touring.

The GT3 touring makes no sense to me. My biggest worry about enjoying driving a GT3 around would be the front lip being 2 inches off the ground, not the awesome looking wing on the back.

We buy buy these cars for the feeling of driving them, for how they look and sound, for how they're put together, and for their heritage. this is why people want a GT3 with more creature comforts and less racy outward appearance, for the next level feel/sound of its glorious 4.0 NA engine v the GTS's muted smaller turbo.

Living in a cave much? This car was public back in April/May, although not official till now. That SA must just clock in/out at work and have zero passion or interest in cars. Might as well be scheduling appointments for the local HVAC repair guy.
It always has annoyed me when I walk into a dealership and know more than the salesperson or SA. Which is around 97% of the time. Most people here on the forums are more knowledgeable than dealership employees. I find it odd: I don't know more about coffee roasting than the head roaster at our local 3rd wave coffee place. I don't know more about beer brewing than the guy who runs the local brewing supply and taproom place. I don't know more about building a house than a well-regarded custom homebuilder. Yet, I seem to know more about a certain premium car brand than most people I have met who are affiliated with that brand. The bar must be pretty low to work at a lot of Porsche dealerships.

However, if they put back seats in and made a Cabriolet version it would replace my current GTS cab as a DD!
