Default Porsche Experience - thoughts?
I just bought a 991.2 Targa 4 GTS. They don't have this model at Atlanta Porsche Experience. My options are 911 GTS or 911 Targa 4. What would you recommend?

I would select an experience that includes two cars that are different from yours. Mid-engine vs rear engine or AWD vs RWD etc. You already know how your car drives. Diversity is the spice of life.

Take the GTS, lighter and stiffer.

targa 4 if you want to get a better feel for the AWD. The Atlanta PEC track is small. The extra power of the GTS will not do much for you.

Targa (All Targa models are AWD.) Great way to start to understand the dynamics of an all wheel drive car like your new car.

Congrats! Have Fun!

PEC Atlanta is a great experience. The adjacent hotel, not so much. My hotel review:

THANK YOU AlbertC4S. I emailed them a few days ago and they did not mention this. I'm headed to Atlanta!

Do you guys know if they offer MT in Atlanta on GTS & GT3?
I noticed they had a Turbo with GT3, can you get a GTS & GT3?
