Default New 991.2 4 GTS build

Hi all. Been lurking for quite some time. Finally pulled the trigger and ordered a 911 Carrera 4 GTS so I thought I would register. ETA early April. GT Silver/PDK. This will be my first Porsche. I wanted a RWD car, but I got tired of waiting for a changeable allocation. Really struggled with PDK vs manual, but I have several manual cars already so I went with the PDK.

I'm in Kennett Square, PA (Chester County, Southeastern Pennsylvania).

John

Congrats....I too have been lurking for a while and reading lots of good advice here re: pricing strategies, color combo's, options etc. I am pretty close to pulling the trigger as well. What does your build look like and what dealer did you order through....PA, NY Metro or Out of State....thx

Make sure you get the fetzer valve option on the centerlocks.

Love them. They've saved me a few times and really integrate well with the car so well you can't even tell they're there.

Please elaborate or direct me to more info. Thanks in advance. I understand the challenges with the CL wheels, but still went with them because they are standard on the GTS. They do look good!

They look incredible. Forget the naysayers.

Welcome neighbor! I’m in Rittenhouse Square.

Dont sweat the CLs. They’re beautiful and a key part of the GTS package. I’ve got the wheel removal tools if you’re ever in need.

Your spec looks good.
