In my view, lack of center-lock wheels & deletion of alcantara are bonus points on any GTS..

I really do appreciate the input you guys. How about thoughts on value? This is a very clean, lightly used, 2015 w/ original MSRP of 132k and only 13k miles on it. I've never really given hard white (0Q) cars much of a chance ... but searching pictures on the interweb I'm starting to warm up to it. A manual 991.1 GTS is just so hard to find. I don't see finding my dream spec without a crazy asking price.

I would have never considered a PDK for my own car, but on the track, the PDK is nice.

Agree, PDK is nice and definitely has its place. I guess it always left be wanting more of the driving experience so I've decided on manual for my next.



Sometimes it is worth it.
For sure. I hear ya.

Default 991.1 FTW
Checking in from Toronto.

Just picked up a new to me 911.1 GTS. I've owned a 4S, Turbo and GT3RS 997 in the past. Wavered fro a while in other areas - Lambo, Ferrari, Viper. Stable mates include 360 Spider and BMW 1M. Missed the 911 feel and this Rhodium natural aspirated spec checks the boxes. Pics below of the F355 replaced by the GTS.

Anyone else get a Deman 4.5L conversion yet? I’ve been running mine for a year now and it is hands down the best car I’ve ever had. Pulls on GT3RS’ and still a “sleeper”.
